why does the org sell so many properties?
i just was wondering... may be they are thinking of ditching 1914 doctrine and other teachings.
it will be not a new light but completely different religion.
May be they are thinking of ditching 1914 doctrine and other teachings. It will be not a new light but completely different religion. It will be sharp decline in followers because of it.
Unlikely..
JW`s don`t care what they believe,only "that they believe"..
The WBT$ can make up any BS teaching they want..
JW`s will eat it up..
this organization will never again be what it was by 2013-2014. .
they peaked in the form they were, i believe they were already falling apart in ways, but from the outside and to the majority r&f, things likely still seemed on the up and up.
browsing through the boards and just keeping my finger on the pulse of what's happening, this organization will never again be what it was.

The WBT$/JWs change about every 20 years..
It`s so slow,most never notice..
The rest chalk it up to the light getting brighter..
They all just plod along..
It reminds me of the boiling frog anecdote..
From Wikipedia
The boiling frog is an anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is put in cold water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.
That Was The Best..
Assemby Ever!...................Yep!..
i have two honest questions for everyone here.
i understand that most here want retribution from the courts against watchtower for child abuse allegations.
but let us take away the instances where someone was accused of child abuse and then later put back into a position of authority, such as an elder or an ms. let us just take the cases where a regular publisher or even an appointed person, with no previous accusation of child abuse has come up against that person.
IMO, virtually every passive-ass component of the Org's abuse-related policies reinforce my suspicion that there are abusers (past or present) currently imbedded in the hierarchy, possibly right up to the top.....Vidiot
More likely than not,your right..
...and that as far as the Org is concerned, this "revelation" would be downright "apocalyptic"......Vidiot
The monumental problem they have now,is of no concern to your average JW..
If it was found out there were pedophiles at the top of the WBT$..
Your average JW would still defend the WBT$..
Apologist WBT$/JW`s would still be writing threads like this one..
so our sunday meeting was on the 25th (christmas) and my active jw wife and i were out of town enjoying some family time with relatives.. apparently there were many others in our congregation that missed as well.
so few were there in fact that sisters ran the mics.
(actually it was a sister running one of the two mics) a friend of my wife commented to her about how the brothers just aren't stepping up and it "makes her want to cry.
I remember a JW Woman covering her head to take a book study, because I was there..
I was 6..

Yes outlaw how dare I show an analogy with the use of another complex situation.....RO
You do what every WBT$/JW Apologist does..
Change the Subject..

Just because you recognize a matter, no matter how bad it is, is a complex issue that will require a complex solution doesn't mean you are trying to distract from something. There is a huge issue with people overdosing on opioids, with many contributing factors.....RO
AND..
Some People Have Hemorrhoids!..
I`m sure you could work that into a conversation..
About the WBT$/JW Pedophile Problem..

More than the catholic church hid it, you forget the protestant churches only it didn't make world wide headlines, church of England was found to have hid it recently. all religions do it......AmIright
Diversion..Diversion..Diversion..
How about McDonalds?..
McDonalds is much more famous than the WatchTower..
There must be a few pedophiles flipping burgers..You could take the focus off the Watchtower with news like that!..
................................
Are all WBT$/JW Apologists complete friggin Idiots?..Or..
Are there a few pieces missing?..

I have been insulted in fact because I to toe the line of wanting Watchtower to be destroyed.....RO
What a Mess..
Were you trying to say:
I have been insulted in fact because I won`t toe the line of wanting Watchtower to be destroyed..
No one asked you to destroy the Watchtower..
No one invited you to join a group dedicated to destroying the Watchtower..
It`s another strawman argument,that never happened..
..........................
You'll do what ever it takes..
To take the focus off the WatchTower/JW Pedophile Problem..
Including lying you ass off,or trying to mislead the topic of conversation you started..
Is there anything honest about you?
come on a believer, everyone knows it was you so own up to it and teacher will not be cross!.
this is exactly what seems to be happening, a believer runs in drops the stink bomb and runs out again...only to pear around the door when he/she deems it safe to do so.
😅😅😅.
The president that was just elected and all the other signs make it convincing to me.
You`re very observant..
The next sign from Jehovah will be..
Gum On Your Shoe..

I know that I can't be apart of these X-JW communities because it doesn't seem like anyone apart of these communities can move on.....RO
"Why can`t ex-JW`s leave the WBT$ and just move on?"..
The thread is complete..
Watchtower isn`t the problem,ex-JW`s are..
...........................
The sermon is over
Would anyone like to say a prayer?
