Leaders already see their new ideas coming to reality in the future. To renounce their current status has already happened, is happening all the time. They do not want to be punished for the past, but will embrace the future, whatever it will take. some will imo.

Lowering the standards: The sign of a cult struggling for survival
by Hidden-Window inmany of the recent changes in the jehovah's witness organization are a clear sign of a cult that is struggling for survival.
the internet has change the scenario in a very dramatic way.
many of us who for years struggled alone with doubts and cognitive dissonance thinking that we were the only ones, that we, as individuals were the issue, now know that there is a large community of individuals who see the organization as what it is, a mind controlling cult that is not only false, but also dangerous.. the governing body clearly understands the consequences of this awakening.

Wt is constantly stumbling ahead. WT Stumbling, fumbling, but not enough being stumbled. 2075 coming up soon, endorsed by David Splane's timeline of the older the Franz anointed overlapping.

Can the GB be directed by Holy Spirit and at the same time be not inspired ?
by Chook inyes god directs our writings but they're not inspired, so gods directions are staggered and overlapping , so the genuine innocent believing jw has a wonderful life of overlapping bullshit.
so next time you meet a jw priest ask them what is the difference between being directed and inspired, then i promise you will hear first hand an example of overlapping bull..

For those that accept the bible as inerrant, which is it is not !! and the scriptures are inspired by "god", writing as the spirit moved, [directed] them?
wt almost claims equal authority.

Anointed Ratios
by Labate inanother recent topic got me thinking.
has there ever been any kind of study of the ratio of male to female anointed?
if the female anointed will be co-rulers in heaven with morris and company, why are they not represented as gb members and helpers before armageddon arrives?.

The difference between people on earth and heaven will be the removal of genitalia. Is that to indicate this is the main hindrance of women having positions of headship on earth?
something to think about. Men do have pathetic tiny breast left-overs. failed women they are! Or:
Quipped: men are more complete because they are equipped both top and bottom?
The problem was, that Eve did not have a coterie of fellow woman to confide with. Who would have thought of consulting a man?

Just heard that the WT sent money to help brothers in Russia
by Bonnie_Clyde inclyde and i had lunch with a friend who attended the assembly with his wife.
he told us that he was sure he heard that the wt had sent money to russia to help the brothers financially.
i told him that i heard the opposite....that they are directing witnesses to meet in private homes and set up a donation jar for the sole purpose of sending money to the wt, giving explicit instructions on how to transmit the funds.

"..Donation Jar.." is a new idea, it would be visible what just was put in. not pleasing putin.

Neutered New World
by Labate inif, as jesus said, there is no marriage in the afterlife, will our sex drive be removed?.
sex without marriage is fornication, which is a no-no.. if i were young and healthy, being surrounded by young, healthy women, having the normal male libido would hardly be paradise..

Isaiah 65, which wt applies to the live entrants into the new world, speaks of them as " ..not bring to birth for disturbance..."so,
unless you are child of the resurrection, with no navel, there should be an erection. but you would be in an envied minority. but there is always surgery and hormone treatments.
Heavenly resurrection? no barrier to sex, thing pre-flood fun.
