?s for the reform minded

Posted by Julie [Julie] on April 05, 1999 at 06:42:41 {6.uz.4vynMs32JBxNwbkRyqclwWKXQ}:

I have often seen comments about needed reform within the organization. I am very curious as to what sort of changes the reform-minded would like to see take place.

Would charity still consist of handing out tracts in the midst of disaster?

Would the superiority complex many JWs sport still be encouraged?

Would you have the WT "come clean" about mistakes in the past? (i.e. organ transplants, failed prophesies etc.)

How would you go about getting the 5 million followers to "reform" with you?

Would you still stick with the "slave labor" arrangement for the printing facilities?

Would you reconsider the cross over the torture stake in the light of evidence presented by those without personal interest?

Would you cease the judicial hearings and the arrangement where the faithful are encouraged to "turn in" those who aren't with the program completely?

Would you eliminate books like the Secret Elder Handbook?

Last but not least, since the excuse that the organization has been run amok by "imperfect men" is so widely used to explain WT errors, could other religions also be given such consideration?

I'm sure lots more will come to me, and I think I know that the blood prohibition and shunning nonsense would be at the top of the "Things To Be Reformed" list, so I didn't even mention those. I'll bet others have some good questions I didn't think of, I hope they are posted.

Love to all,
Julie
