This new "light(??)" (which comes from another compact fluorescent light bulb) will do nothing. Just another tiny refinement of the doctrine, about where the spiritual monosodium glutamate and aspartame comes from. If they could handle the generation disaster, they will handle this.

templeelijah - the very latest it was 1918 if ever, that the JW's lost any holy spirit and direction when from that point onwards they rejected the holy spirit for nearly 30 years and took up spiritism instead. If you are attempting to draw people to you and start your own thing vs teaching the truth, that the 'anointing' is what teaches, then you are just as bad as the GB and just as false.

It wouldn't surprise me if half the active JWs think the F&DS is the GB anway. So no change for them.

I have called a couple of older family members about the pending changes to the FDS teaching and it seems to affect them more than younger ones.
If, as an older person today, you grew up preaching about CT Russell and how he was so instrumental in reinstituting the "truth" ... then hearing that he does not even qualify as a member of the FDS may be too hard to swallow.
