“There may be occasions when it would be good for us to reconsider a choice or decision. It could be when the prevailing circumstances change. Jehovah altered his decision at times when circumstances changed. (1 Ki. 21:20, 21, 27-29; 2 Ki. 20:1-5) Or new information may provide us with a valid reason to adjust a decision. King David was given faulty information about Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth. When David later received accurate information, he amended his decision. (2 Sam. 16:3, 4; 19:24-29) At times, it may be wise for us to do similarly.”
Excerpt From: WATCHTOWER. “The Watchtower, March 2017.”
When we discover our association with the CCOJW is based on faulty information, and we find better accurate information, changing our mind about what we believe (apostasy) is the right and proper thing to do.
