Let it not be said that we are only capable of bashing the Watchtower Society.
For once, let me point out how simple it would be for them to change into a more
humane, tolerant and Christian organization.
First, print some strong articles on voluntary service. After a few months of emphasis
of this, begin discreet changes. Have the Circuit Overseers draw a line thru the part
of the elder's book on disfellowshipping those who take blood. He tells the elders
that everything must be voluntary in God's eyes or it doesn't count! Quietly disband
the Liaison Committees and tell them they're needed for other work.
Second, dump official disfellowshipping. Tell 'em association is important and
it's their responsibility. It's OK to personally shun rotten people - but you have to
make the call, as a mature Christian.
Stop putting so much emphasis on Armageddon and start taking care of people!
DO WHAT other churches do! Day Care for children! Sponsor basketball!
or soccer! Build a damn gym! ENCOURAGE EDUCATION!
Need money? Build your own college! Use it to get alumni dollars and
encourage nice marriages amoung educated young Witnesses.
Set up internal ministries for the young ---- the old -------the chronically ill---
the fatherless. Phase out the destructive pretense of magazine peddling.
Cut the Public talk to 15 minutes. Get rid of the Service meeting and Ministry
School. Start regular communal meals like early Christians did.
Teach children to BE CHARITABLE. Stop concerning yourself with masturbation
and worry about brotherhood.
What's so difficult about any of this?
Why should these things be thought impossible?
