NotFormer: WT's default reaction is to double down. The trouble with telling yourself and everyone around you that you are always right is that everyone starts believing it. In life, even the things that you could originally claim to be right about can change, so that you become wrong. If you believe that you are always right, you won't make the necessary changes.

GreatTeacher:
So, in my opinion, Covid broke the Cult. From the bottom up. No wonder the Org is angry and desperate. They're used to having control from the top down. But, the cat has been let out of the bag and the old pussycat ain't going back in anytime soon.
Good points. I agree!
👍👍
put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.
in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.
as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?
Brilliant!
Well done Kim!👍
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
I think he would feel insulted at having to produce anything,,,
👍👍👍
The original post made me wonder how the branch is treating the CO if he talks to the appointed men like that.
I noticed before I left that the CO would be so kind and loving and understanding in his talks to the publishers in the congregation.
Then in our meeting with him as servants and elders he would have an attitude quite similar to the one mentioned in the original post..
here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.
when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.
was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?
Biahi:
Are JW’s God’s organization? No.

I agree!
And even when he eventually produces content they are still getting shit!!!!😉

The expectation is rising!!👍👍
i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….
…dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….
…i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….
Videot:
…they were angry and hostile because, deep down, they were afraid it was true.
Yes!
My family have told me most violently and categorically that even if I proved conclusively and scripturally that they do not have 'the truth' they will still go on believing that it is 'the truth'.... 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
