A. Organizational Changes. The organization would have to make the following changes:

Accept Evolution as a fact
Accept that the bible is just the word of man

There is no Satan or Universal Sovreignty issue
There was no global flood, Tower of Babel, talking snakes, etc.
Jesus was just a man, if he even existed at all
The trumpet blasts in Revelation have nothing to do with the organization
1914 is just another date
etc., etc., etc.

Accept the fact that the existence of god or gods cannot be proven
Stop requiring any sort of preaching and field service quota
Stop requiring any sort of meeting attendance quota
Stop shunning former members
Abandon ridiculous rules and restrictions about dress and grooming and association
Abandon harmful medical and dietary restrictions, including the use of blood
Abandon silly chronologies
Lighten up on human sexuality and marriage/divorce rules
Consistently report child abuse to the authorities
Get some cooler kingdom melodies
Snacks after every meeting (which would be reduced in length of time)
Encourage secular education

There's probably a lot more.

: What would it take for you to come back into the JW fold?

It could never happen, no matter what they do.

First, for enough changes to be made to even consider going back would mean that the new organization had very little to do with what JWs are today. Virtually all of the old Bethel personnel would have to be replaced, and so would the culture. Might as well just start fresh with a new religion.

Second, I no longer believe in God or the Bible. There'd be no point going back, no matter what.

Maybe if Jehover came out of the sky and we could have a serious two way conversation.

Let's try teaching what the bible really teaches, as opposed to what some men in Brooklyn think.

Why not stop the preaching work for 1 full year and concentrate the bible-toting, self-rightcheous people on what CHRISTIAN love is and what it entails.

That would be year one of 50 years of waking the heck up.

Let me know when you're done. I'm not making any splinter group...

Let's see:

1) NO Field Service.

2) NO Meetings.

3) NO Judgmental crap.

4) Don't bother me about any of it.

Must be something I'm forgetting; I could go with D, E or F, though.

Hmmm, looking at the Excel spreadsheet, I see that I have missed 7,212 Meetings!!! I haven't counted the FS I've missed.

Well, 2 out of 4 isn't bad: I guess I'm halfway back

Insomniac

Lift that silly ban on deviant (anything other than missionary position between married folks, I guess!) sex. Also, start referring to God as She at least as often as He. Quit harboring child molesters and beaters. Encourage people to try new things (yoga, martial arts, rap music) before condemning them. Quit telling folks to spend their one day off all week knocking on stranger's doors to try to convert them. Accept the inherent worth of all creatures-even women! Let people smoke, iffen they wanna.

But then, it wouldn't be the Society, then, would it?

E: Make me President of the WTBTS

Singing Man

They act like they have Gods direction, but nothing they say comes true. They make big puffing noises like they can perform all kinds of wonderful deeds in Gods name, but can't. Now I ask you who wants to put such trust in them when they lie. They call them selfs the "truth" tell me what is "truth" about them?
