org is dying
by lambsbottom ini don't understand why so many ex jws and faders think that the jws will continue to grow and thrive as a religion.
i still attend a meeting once a week and you can smell the death of the religion creeping up when you hear the talks, read the study wts and hear the letters from the gb.
the way the organization has changed is a sign that it reached its peak (in "healthy" membership) long ago.

I don't know I think a few more major scandals like the type that come from a required Charites Audit, Fines For not taking care of loyal works retirement needs(which seems to be a major issue in some European countries already), more childmolestation lawsuits, miss direction of funds given in good faith to them as a charitable donations used to pay these fines and other building project and property purchases, Tax evasion, money laundering, and similar things like these could cause a rather quick demise with everybody getting what ever they can from the Corporation's supply money tied up in various stocks, buildings and liquidatable assets.
Lets face it these guys on the Governing Body arn't very bright in fact they are delusional to beleive all the horse shit they cause to be put in print, IOWs they are wackos. Take Anthony Morris the Wacko doodle doo 3rd, nough said, I reast my case! Take a look at anyone on of his starring videos on the internet and think: Can these guys keep this scam going for another 20 years??? Nah they were scrapping the bottom of the JW indoctrinated barrel when these guys got picked. These guys arn't in any way intelligent of wise CEOs they will drive it into the ground I tell ya they are that stupid.

and
International Snorfest

"New Light" discretely slipped in on the 2014 regional convention: Paradise in heaven.
by EdenOne in2014 regional convention:.
on friday, on the last speech of the morning, (the "key speech"), a bethel member slipped in some "new light" rather casually, without much fuss.
he mentioned the out-of-body experience of the apostle paul, in 2 corinthians 12:2-4, where he experienced being "caught up to the third heaven ... caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible words...".

Well the Governing Body's a clueless bunch of mouldy old nuts who think their interpetation is the only right one when it comes to the Bible. They see things that no bible scholar in his right mind would see when reading Scripture. They see a kindom that has, according to the way their imagination works, has been in operation for 100 years and all it got to show for what this kingdom has done is just: some wars here and there, people straving to death after a famine hits their country, rise in deaths from heart decease and cancer do to longer lifespan and a few billion dollars worth of real estate thanks to donations from the faithful.
So based on past new lights any "New Light" from these punch drunk CEOs is bound to have fraud written all over it.

That would be a very unprofitable move for the WT Corporation to make any unkindly remark about Serena as she is an enterprise and as such she would have her day in court with these assholes called the Governing Body.

Americas worst charities:
http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/13/us/worst-charities/
Good vs. bad charities
America's worst charities look nothing like Habitat for Humanity, Boys and Girls Clubs or thousands of other charities, large and small, that are dedicated to helping the sick and needy.
Key questions to ask someone requesting a charitable donation:
• What is the full name of the charity?
• Do you work for a paid fundraiser?
• How much of my donation actually goes to charity?
• Will any local programs directly benefit? If so, how?
• What is the website address of the charity?Well-run charities rely on their own staff to raise money from a variety of sources. They spend most of their donations on easy-to-verify activities, whether it's running soup kitchens, supporting cancer research, raising awareness about drunken driving or building homes for veterans.
The Times/CIR list of worst charities, meanwhile, is littered with organizations that exhibit red flags for fraud, waste and mismanagement.
Thirty-nine have been disciplined by state regulators, some as many as seven times.
Eight of the charities have been banned in at least one state.
One was shut down by regulators but reopened under a new name.
A third of the charities' founders and executives have put relatives on the payroll or the board of directors.
How states failed to regulate charity scams
For eight years, American Breast Cancer Foundation paid Joseph Wolf's telemarketing company to generate donations.
His mother, Phyllis Wolf, had founded the Baltimore-based charity and was its president until she was forced to resign in 2010.
While she ran the charity, her son's company, Non Profit Promotions, collected $18 million in telemarketing fees.
Phyllis Wolf left the charity after the payments to her son attracted media attention in 2010. The charity has since stopped using telemarketers, including Joseph Wolf's.
Phyllis and Joseph Wolf did not respond to several calls seeking comment.
How to help: CNN's Impact Your World
The nation's worst charities are large and small. Some are one-person outfits operating from run-down apartments. Others claim hundreds of employees and a half-dozen locations around the country. One lists a UPS mail box as its headquarters address.
Several play off the names of well-known organizations, confusing donors.
Among those on the Times/CIR list are Kids Wish Network, Children's Wish Foundation International and Wishing Well Foundation. All of the names sound like the original, Make-A-Wish, which does not hire professional telemarketers.
Make-A-Wish officials say they've spent years fielding complaints from people who were solicited by sound-a-like charities.
"While some of the donations go elsewhere, all the bad public relations that comes with telemarketing seems to come to us," said Make-A-Wish spokesman Paul Allvin.
Donors who answer calls from the 50 worst charities hear professionally honed messages, designed to leverage popular causes and hide one crucial fact: Almost nothing goes to charity.
When telemarketers for Kids Wish call potential donors, they open with a name you think you've heard before.
Then they ask potential donors to "imagine the heartbreak of losing a child to a terminal illness," according to scripts filed with North Carolina regulators in 2010.
Kids Wish, the callers say, wants to fulfill their wishes "while they are still healthy enough to enjoy them."
