What's going on with the Jehovah's Witnesses?! Are they in their death throes?

A colleague of mine is a JW. He used to preach to me a lot until a few months ago. We had a discussion about the child abuse and they way the Watchtower is being very deceitful in some cases outright lying. So I ask him how everything is going. He says fine, check your email.

In it he sends me two links.

Summary: The Watchtower is being fined $4000 per day for falsifying records and redacting information.

In March 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter. Opposing attorneys called the redactions excessive, rendering the document illegible. Judge Strauss then assigned a discovery referee to sit with the two sides. But having a referee involved didn’t solve matters. Repeatedly, the Watchtower Society has stated that it will not comply with the order.

“By the time of the hearing on the motion for sanctions, it will have been over a year since the initial order and almost three months since the [referee’s recommendation] was adopted,” reads Strauss’s ruling. “In the period since…Watchtower has shown no effort or willingness to comply with the discovery order.

“Based upon the history in this case and Watchtower’s statements…the court finds that Watchtower’s failure to comply is willful…Watchtower clearly has control over the documents it has already produced and could revise the redactions with regard to those documents. This is obviously and clearly within the scope of Watchtower’s powers which it chooses not to exercise. Continuing to repeat its prior unsuccessful arguments in opposition to the discovery order further illustrates Watchtower’s obstinacy in compliance.”

Summary (and this blew me out of the water!) The FAQ section on JW.org has added a new featured post: “Can a Person Resign From Being One of Jehovah’s Witnesses?” In this NEW article dated June 9th 2016, the Watchtower gives their official explanation of how to handle matters when a person no longer wants to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

It is, in my opinion, one of the most calculated, misleading and dishonest articles recently released on their website. The level of deliberate deceit on display is both appalling and astonishing.

So, I read it all and I said to myself, "my GOD why have you allowed this to happen? I think most JW's are sincere and want to worship God but their religion is turning against them!

Their leaders are outright lying now!
