been researching the mormons a little since they are quite similar to the jws.

they have a similar webpage and many videos to "help" the mormons in their faith.

What the numbers don't tell is all the born ins that never got baptised. What's also not mentioned is all the halls that are being closed. Jw numbers are truly down in fact the numbers they publish are probably not real. The social aspect of both the Mormon's and the jws are the only thing keeping these religions together
I have entertained that idea myself. I just don't see any reasonable way they would get away with it. If the numbers in the year book are false, all elders in the different branches responsible for the numbers would know that the society lies about it. Do you have any way to explain how JWs could lie about it without it being discovered?
I can certainly appreciate the number of never baptized born ins. But I think, if the numbers are correct, JWs are still growing, just not as fast.

I have studied those numbers before, there might be around 3M inactive/df'd, but their numbers overall are still increasing(probably because of all the born ins):

Actually, it's the present for the JWs.
The increase is smaller, but they are not losing members are they? 8,2M was the last figure I heard.

I thought this sounded interesting:
"Update it's manuals on sensitive church doctrines"
Nothing is off limits when the situation is getting desperate.
Could see the same thing happening if a similar situation arises in the ORG.
"Brothers, we have noticed a lot of you are leaving(and we like your money)... Therefor new light has been reveled to us"

Mr Jackson declines to appear in RC

These are the possible outcomes I can see:
Case 1: He testifies and makes a fool out of himself - bad publicity. Most JWs will not know what was actually said and can dismiss news articles as lies by Satan's media
Case 2: He testifies and nothing "damaging" is said - unaltered publicity. Same outcome as if he never testified.
Case 3: He testifies and smooth talks the RC - OK publicity. JWs nods along to his words and the watchtower (to the JWs) is absolved of any pedophile protection accusation(they are eager to swallow any explanation given by the GB).
Case 4: He flees the country - very bad publicity. Hard for JWs to explain away if they learn about it, maybe; he must have had his reasons etc...
Case 5: McClellan lets him go for compassionate reasons or otherwise - unaltered publicity. Same as if he was never called to testify.

The best and only way to force the watchtower to comply.

2. scandals
have their assets frozen.

from their real estate to their donations, everything!

until they are seen to comply.. just sayin :-).

2 Is actually because of 3.
(3) Losing members
(contributions, free labor, evangelizing, administration)
They lose their members, they die. So they will keep a desperate white knuckled grip on their members... Like a blood sucking parasite that knows; if it lets go, it will die.
