Some congregations in my area have being "re-orged" or merged. Gone are the days of bustling days of the split...the opposite is happening.

notice what is increasing is not the average publisher count, according to the above watchtower quote to spin the bethel downsizing, but the work.

"The little one will become a thousand And the small one a mighty nation. I myself, Jehovah, will speed it up in its own time.”--Isaiah 60:22.
It wouldn't surprise me if this verse will be reinterpreted to mean the "work is speeding up."
Do more, lollygaggers!

It is antithetical to basic Christian teachings. Shunning is what authorarian religious leaders of the first century did. Jesus did the opposite.

It almost seems like they want to move in BEFORE the 2016 AGM. IF SO, what could they be announcing that is making them so nervous to move up the timeline?
Edited: Just saw Stealth said the same thing.

2 John 10
by What Now? injust looking for some rebuttals to 2 john 10, specifically when it comes to shunning family.
we essentially admitted to our families that we do not want to raise our kids as witnesses and do not believe what jehovah's witnesses teach.
predictably, they use 2 john 10 to justify shunning us, specifically the portion of the verse where it says "if anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him".. since we are apostates (according to the jw definition), and no longer "bring this teaching", would our family be correct in interpreting this verse to mean that they should shun us?.
