Watchtower Progress, One Funeral At a Time
by metatron inthere once was a scientist who cynically observed that science seems to progress one funeral at a time, as older men depart (as obstacles).
and new theories are allowed to flourish.
in the case of authoritarian regimes, the demise of the "old guard" can bring about sudden changes.

If you DA yourself are you giving in to the GB?
by bronzefist ini'm not criticizing anyone's decision to da themselves...just wondering what the advantages are.. if the whole da thing is something made up by the gb why make them happy by playing by their rules?
how are they hurt by your decision?
why not just walk away?

Suspicious JW activity? Anyone else had a visit lately?
by Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit inlast sunday, two elders came to our place, we peeked and didn't answer.
it's their first visit since their last and only visit 2 years ago.. my dad called yesterday to say hi, i told him i was confused by his call since, i reminded him, he and my mom and my sisters and brother disowned me.
he even said they want to come for a visit, and they miss me (out of state), i told him that seems off.

Jehovah's Witnesses are not False Prophets- Proof
by Gilberto ina couple of years ago after talking about 1975 and the generation change with 2 elders i asked them what we would call another religion if they were wrong with dates and had to change prophecies.
no answer was forthcoming so i offered "false prophets?".
one elder agreed we probably would, the other was deadly silent.. anyway i thought i would look up false prophets and found this... *** g93 3/22 pp.

PO said automation and declining contributions reason for Bethel layoffs
by truthseeker inlast week at the meeting, the po, who has very close connections to bethel, said that he never thought he would see the day that bethelites were being sent home.
he said that the biggest two reasons he thought bethel were cutting back, was automation and a massive decline in contributions.
looks like you're right metatron about the contribution aspect being their achilles heel.
