This is the future of the WTS and the Internet, nothing, just nothing. The WTS can't tell the witnesses to stop using the internet when they themselves use it. They can't tell a witness not to use the internet for fear of this , the more the WTS protests the more people are going to wonder why? Is the WTS hiding something. People aren't stupid, and most of them are not robots and yesbot either.
Is the Society trying to hide things from the congregations and its people. Any honest person would say I can to use the internet and search for the answers I need. They the WTS called the Televison the devils instrument also.
There is a lot of damage to the Society and they know that they can't deny it. Do you know how many persons in congregations are afraid of the net, oh maybe a handful. They are the elderly in most cases. But even these days the number of seniors using the internet has jumped into higher levels, Not all seniors are afraid of advancement . Young kids of course are monitored by their parents. But as for the rest and as free thinking and free moral agents we have the right to know answers to the inner secrets of the Organization. The Internet makes the WTS look like a bunch of fanitical idiots.
Remember there are people who have never heard of Jehovah's Witnesses and I still find that incredibly difficult to see, but in consideration of the planets population being over 6 billion I guess 6 million seems pretty small.
This pretty small scale has wreaked havoc with the lives of millions of former Jehovahs Witnesses. I am wondering if statistically possible to computate how many people have been witnesses and have left and have never returned. I suppose you may be able to say the ratio is 6 million to six million. If the Organization stills uses that same old number 40,000 a year disfellowshipped leave that are baptized in one decade that is equivilant to 400,000 person and add that by sixty years your looking at about a figure of 24 million witnesses baptized who have left. Those figures are pretty high. I am being generous with the sixty year period because I recall them even using those figures in the early sixties. Now consider how many of them are not baptized but have left as they became older and leaving the parental nest. A lot of children dont' get baptized. I fear fro the baptized ones who at 5 year and up are getting baptized and imagine by their teen years many have left or been marked as bad association.
So maybe a few go back. Now a days many of them won't come back. Is this the internets fault?
Things look pretty grim for the Watchtower Organization.
Is the organzition feeling at its worse? I would say yes. They have made fools of themselves many times over. But then whose fault is that? The Holy Spirt? What a terrible thought that is. Because when God's holy spirit is working then the witnesses wouldn't have to fear. They know their goose is cooked. They either change their policies and lighten up or bring down their own Organization from within. It is newer ones who haven't much knowlege of the earlier years of the society and the society isn't going to volunteer that information. Should people let bygones be bygones or what?
I think of Moses, how many millions did he bring out of Egypt? Did God's Holy Spirit prove him wrong? Absoultely not it worked for him because God was behind him all the way to the Red Sea and over then into the wilderness then to the land of milk and honey. God had to scould the Jews many times but in the end there faith was blessed and they prospersed well. For many hundreds of years.
So what is up with the WTS, this they have forgotten what it is to be honest upright, not hypocritical, not liars and bloodguilty not protecting its people from sexual perverts and molesters. There scandal is there own scandals. You can't blame the internet and more then you can blame a television..
