ive said it before, I believe the GB is now trolling us. This new group of guys don't believe the teachings. I think they are looking to give thinking people an excuse to leave. Some of their recent articles are just too deliberately dense to be accidental. The article where loesch attacked the infallibility of the pope was ridiculous. His reasoning was that if the pope was not infallible, then doesn't that mean he could be wrong? By the same token the GB has said they are not inspired or infallible. So basically he was admitting their wrong. Plus the ridiculous take on the generation teaching. That has to be an obvious troll job. It's almost as good as the fake questions from readers people post on this site. Now that they have all the money, the next step will to get people to leave. Then they can live out the rest of their lives in a nice new compound.

Stop mentioning your doubts to anyone. Just stop attending. Since youe not baptized they will leave you alone. However if you attempt to spread doubts to others, they will be forced to deal with you.

Could this happen to the Society and how?

I agree with designs. According to several studies the JWs already boast one of the highest attrition rates of any religion. It's a revolving door in JW land. Most Irish likely still identify as catholic, but have no interest in attending mass. At least they are allowed to not attend without being hounded by elders.

This is grade A plausible deniability. Now the branch can say they don't know anything about the bad things that go on in the congregation. They can be held responsible for anything they don't know about. Also I find it interesting that they are instructed not to sign the forms.

Entertainment for International Delegates
by Listener inbibl3thumper has posted a youtube of the celebrations that took place for german delegates.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvs6_q7rqps&feature=em-subs_digest.
it's hard to believe that they are now using the kingdom hall to sing pop songs and for dancing.

This isn't anything new. They have been entertaining delagates in Kingdom Halls for a while. This is just the first time the United States has experienced it. Times approved by the governing body. In fact a helper to the governing body aka an aspiring GB member attended such an event. I have videos of events that I recorded that make this look like nothing. I would share publically, but I don't wish to blow my cover yet. If you're interested PM me and I will share.

org is dying
by lambsbottom ini don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.
i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.
the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

In western countries door to door work is already completely ineffective. the public doesn't give a flying you know what about the org. Nobody in my territory even comes to the door. The level of growth is almost soley due to relatives and children of JWs in the west. We had 2 baptized at the last circuit assembly. baptims numbers in the west are decreasing. to the general public JWs are irrelevant.
Internal apathy is what will kill the religion. Continuing to cry wolf with yearly historic campaigns will eventually wear people out. Not wear them out in the sense of making them tired, but causs them no longer take anything the GB says seriously. Already most young people are just going through the motions. They remain in because they love the instant friends and the social aspect. That's the part I will miss most. Some people achieve levels of popularity in the organization that they would never achieve in the world. JWs are a very demanding religion, but its becoming less demanding. This lessening of the load ironically will cause greater apathy.
