So, I guess an upcoming WT has some new light on clapping! Evidently, Jesus has misinformed the GB/WTBTS since the late 90's. Clapping was disrespectful, because Jesus felt that those who were DF'd should not be given a pat on the back. After all, they effed up, so why reward them with affection?
Jehoober-doober has evidently re-adjusted Jesus' thinking, and helped Jesus to grasp "adjusted understandings." Now Jesus has communicated the correct "truth" to be GB! Wow! That's just awesome!
So, for last 18 years, Jesus has been telling the GB non-truths. The only other explanation is that the GB don't know what they are talking about, making things up as they go along. That doesn't seem reasonable to me.
