Hello Bethel,
By now it's clear to all observers that the organization is running out of steam, especially in the developned nations, and no amount of hyped-up propaganda about ``quick-build'' Kingdom Halls, standing up to the Nazis, lifetime experiences of pioneers, etc., etc. can rectify.
What's needed urgently:
Fix the meetings! Too long, too many, too repititious, too boring, and worst of all, too unspiritual (the so-called Service Meeting being probably the worst of them all).
Cut back on the sickening self-priase and reintroduce the language of First Century Christianity. You know, restore words like ``redemption,'' ``grace,'' ``salvation,'' ``reconciliation,'' etc. to the JW vocabulary... they've been on too long a sabbatical from the local Kingdom Halls.
Fix the preaching: Given the amount of time and tons of literatuer we produce, it's shcokcing that the general publis knows little more about us and out beliefs than 20 years ago (we refuse blood and are consicentious objectors; that's about it.
By far most of the magazines we print are thrown into the trash, a tragic waste of resources. You know he mass media, television especially, is an effective means to get out any message, otherwise you wouldn't produce those sickeningly idealized VHS tapes.
You claim that your message is the most crucial thjat humankind will ever hear, yet you insist on archaic methods to distribute it, in the interest of keeping the rank and file occupied.
Come on guys, get with it! It's no secret that Bethelites are not exactly the greatest door knockers and meeting attenders in the world. Come, share the wealth of sporadic meeting attendance and field service slacking that you've perfected to an art with us locals!
