Has the quality of jws gone down? (page 2)

The real question is... Has the quality of "apostates" gone up?

I'd have to say we are becoming diluted. As time goes on, armageddon waits forever, more and more average minded ones will see through the organisation and join our ranks. (I should know...I don't have much in the brains dept. but even I can see through them!)

Sorry 'bout the bad news.

I'd have to agree with the idea of a general decline. My impression (thru observations and discussions) is that there is a decline in the intellectual quality in JW general communications but also with the ministerial ability of the "average" JW.

As the "Good News"- JW style- becomes more ridiculous (dateline doctrine, etc...), the org. will have to focus on the ill-educated in each of its branch office jurisdictions' respective societies.

I think it has for sure. They only seem to be attracting social misfits and completely down and outs nowadays. As a plus for the apostate still needing to attend meetings, a lot of them make for hilarious pre and post meeting banter.

Has the quality of jws gone down?

I will just deal with one area...Beliefs.Years ago (yes I know I am old) there was a lot more dealing with core beliefs at the meetings. In recent years talking with a number of young persons they only have a vague knowledge of what was taught and what is being taught.They are just going along for the ride and they don't have a clue as to what is going on.I think the WT likes it like that.
