Sunday Social hour is not feasible because kh's have 2-3 congregations that meet. if they can relax the df policy you would think they would relax the blood policy next

The TWO new things to come this year for J.W Org !
by Phizzy inwhile having my first strong black coffee of the day, i was thinking about what may be to come next as the org.
rapidly goes mainstream, and this is what i came up with :.
1) they will introduce for sunday, the after meeting fellowship, a time for just chatting but with the added bonus of coffee and snacks.

The coup against Tony Morris in order to make major changes?
by Badfish init’s been a long time since i’ve kept up with anything jw-related.
but just a couple days ago, i heard about all the new changes—beards, shunning, etc.
i was surprised, so i asked an old friend who i hadn’t spoken to in ages what happened.

At their age, herd and losch are just along for the ride and are going to take the path of least resistance. So they would be on Tony's side for the status quo

Thoughts on Likely Upcoming Changes in the Org.
by Phizzy ini am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.
the org.
has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?

Safe to say I don't think there will be anymore major changes until the annual meeting in October. Strategically speaking they would want to see the results positive or negative of the r&f for now.

If you put 2+2 together. That scenario sounds very plausible. No coincidence that shortly after he's gone we see these major liberal changes

"jehovah's witnesses often, not only change 180° from what they used to teach, they change from things they vehemently asserted were absolute truth.

If the org. Is being advised by consultants, is a name change in the works?
by nowwhat? inlet's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.
if they are going more mainstream.
i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.

Let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name Jehovah's witness. If they are going more mainstream. I imagine the first recommendation was a name change. With the Jesus series coming, that would be a perfect opportunity to rename to "Jesus Christian witnesses". Can still be called ",jw" for short and not have to change jw.org

Forget 1914, the 1975 generation are now passing away!
by nowwhat? inwe still have quite a few elderly here that came in as young families in the late 1960's-early 70's because soon, yes very soon they would enter the new system and never grow old.
it's now one year away from 50 years since 1975. just in the last couple years i've seen them come down with alzheimer's, cancer, brain tumors, becoming invalid etc.
the children of them that are now around 60 are just so distraught at seeing their parents deteriorate.

And the organization has the gall to tell us we need to exercise patience!

If I was in a congregation that I helped built and donated $1000's for the construction, and then the org confiscated and sold. I would demand my money back and get reimbursed for the hours worked!

Interesting JW attire
by Athanasius inyesterday while shopping i had an interesting experience.
there was an older woman ahead of me at the check out who was dressed in all black, including her stockings and shoes.
in fact i thought that she might be a sister, as i've seen nuns at my wife's church dressed in similar fashion.. as i waited my turn to pay for my purchases, she was engaged in conversation with the cashier and gave him a business card as she was leaving.

Hmmm, maybe by appearing to to be nun, she thought people would be more inclined to be nice to her
