They destroy families. Any witness can look around their local KH and count how many parents don't talk to all of their kids.

A quick summary of topics and issues wrong with jws
by stuckinarut2 inyou know how our minds often get all "fuzzy" and confused when we are put on the spot and asked to come up with points?
we often tend to lose focus and go off on tangents?.
im trying to compile a basic list of bullet points for the most obvious and clear problems / doctrines / history of witnesses that can blow the org out of the water.. it is more for the purpose of getting my own thoughts clear rather than using it to talk to witnesses (as that doesn't really work).

Need help compiling a list of the latest changes in doctrine and practices
by jwfacts ini have former jws looking at jwfacts.com in order to update themselves with what is happening with the religion, so that they can better understand their jw family.
it thought it would help if there was a page devoted to what has changed since 2000. .
2012 oct release of jw.org - jws encouraged to download their own publications and use ipads at meetings and field service.

GB says, "Our way of worship will soon be altered."
by Separation of Powers inmy mom called me yesterday to ask how i was doing.
i hadn't seen her in a while, so it was nice to hear her voice.
we went through the motions of jw small talk and then she started telling me about her co visit from last week.

Juan, that all seems very plausible. Another issue with rural areas is that the population is getting older. The rural halls that I have visited in northern Michigan have almost all retirees. As they die off there really isn't any new blood to replace them.

That would be great. The problem is that WT isn't nearly as interesting as Scientology. Scientology is fascinating, weird, crazy, and has lots of famous members.
WT is boring and stuffy.

Our CO made a similar comment 6 months ago. He said he was told "you haven't seen anything yet" regarding all of the changes going on in the Borg. -

Inside the KH. Your a prick. I don't like u. Im still a dub and the stuff u state as a witness fact is utter BS. Can we give back inside the KH and get Gustav Cistern back? At least he was a reasonable apologist.
Also not all dubs are eating it up My mom sent me the vid I asked what she thought and she said she felt kinda weird bout it Like letting the world in a little bit

What will JW.org / Watchtower be like in 15 years?
by jw07 inover the past few days i've been reading and watching bill and melinda gates speak about their plans for a better world by 2030. they bet that due to technology and the compassion of people the world should improve more in the next 15 years than it has in all of history.
specifically lower child mortality rate, eradication of polio and guinea worm among other diseases, improvement of standards of living, greater access to education etc.. i'm a realist, so i'm not looking for miracles, but i believe most of these things are possible given the level of success they have reaped in other endeavors, and naturally emerging tech being used to make some of these projections possible.. you can see that the world is actually improving in many areas if you seek out the good news stories and statistics and look beyond the watchtower friendly fear porn about terrorism, and potential dangers from culturally diverse nations around the globe.
for instance 2014 had the lowest fatal airline accident rate in history despite the hyping of the ill fated malaysian airlines crashes.

In th US There is a massive amount of dubs in there 60s. In 15 years they will be dying off really quickly. They make up the majority of today's elders. The borg is going to have a really hard time replacing them.
1914 will no longer be mentioned. Somehow they will change doctrine to get rid of it.
The borg will lose its tax exempt status in several European countries due to their bigotry against the LBGT community. They won't change their stand and will cry persecution.

It is pretty close to $1000 / month. This can be adjusted lower if the local congregation is giving you a free place to live though. It is also adjusted higher if you Are assigned to a high cost area.
