The Reformation has already begun,and no one can stop it !!!
Is already shared by hundreds of thousands of brothers.
Within 2-3 years...............remember these words!!!!

Nah, and certainly not before 2034. Might eventually just do a Herbert Armstrong and schism in about 50 years time though.

Until the WTS start accepting that we're just another christian church and we don't have any special role in theological history, there won't be any significant reform, only doctrinal adjustments and some strategy updates.
Only when such realization downs upon our Governing Body, then they will be able to humbly repent, apologize, make serious reforms to make this church a more useful, more genuine, more proactive, happier religion who is worthy of Christ. Until then, nothing significant will change.

The following post is from poster member LaFrancia. He kindly asked if I would translate it. THESE ARE HIS OWN VIEWS NOT MINE.
The Reform has already started, and no one can stop it!!! Italian brothers and non italians are living it with their own skin. There is the need to channel the voice of Jehovah's people with the appropriate tools.
I repeat tht one one can stop the reform, not even the members of this forum. The theocratic structure rests soley because you want the top of the summit to stand.
Human governments are keeping world's economic system by printing more money. But the reality is that the economic system is failing and needs reform with tough rules that combat speculation and corruption. It is the same with our theocratic organization.
The present organization, with its 7 levels of power management does nothing but increase the platform of corruption, favoring often corrupt and non-christian behavior to the detriment of honest brothers.
The governing body had already discussed some of the reforms. For example , the practice of disfellowshipping. But there are certain elements that oppose these reforms. There are certain "theocratic lobbyist" that have no interest in wholesome change as they are safeguarding their own particular interest.
The base of Jehovah's people ask the top management of [watchtower] to publicize the reforms that remain in the drawers of the governing body, and above all publicize the names of those that oppose theocratic change.
The whole and healhty part of the organization is in every nation, it is present and it will not stand to watch while others put aside the good name of being a Jehovah's witness.
Individual brothers have given their whole life to uphold principles such as onesty, responsibility, sacrifice, humility, and loyalty. These same people have contributed to God's good name while others are destroying it..
Trust in God, this reform group in Italy has given itself 3 years to share these ideas. The 3 years have expired. The ball has been launched, its up to others to catch it.
Warm Regards,

The can reorganize whatever they want... but it would not make a difference at the end. The reason some want to reform is because they believe there are a lot of specks of truth in it... too bad that they are most probably wrong.

@ wasblind it's just a saying meaning if things go well there is no need to reform or change the strategy. And i know many here don't want to hear it but seen from our perspective things go well_____emeth
that's a joke. right ?
Let me break it down: The WTS has reformed and changed its strategy scince its inception
does " Nu light " or the word " adjustments " ring a bell ?
Let me break it down even further: Things did not go well for the " Generation that will not die " on the front cover of the
May 15, 1984 Watchtower. They all died
It has been reformed and changed to an " Overlappin' flap dap "

Any attempt at reformation will become a transformation . Satan has played that game for ages
" And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming into an angel of light Nu light " 2 Corinthians 11: 14

The Watchtower writers have held the leaders of the Protestant Reformation (Martin Luther, John Calvin & John Wycliffe) as heroes. That Reformation caused a break from the Roman Catholic church and the creation of new churches across Europe.
Do you know what was the main element that cause the masses of people to leave the Catholic faith? > the printing press and it's ability to spread the 'truth' of the Papacy - very quickly into the homes of the people.
Sounds a bit like the internet...
JW leadership spread the illusion of reforms through 'new light' and the faithful lap it up like sugar water. 'Reform' comes from the top in this organization. The individual 'publisher' has no voice in changes of policy. None.
