No it's not, redsetter2. I'm not attacking you. I'm telling people to be wary of a person claiming to be someone that cannot be properly verified. And I'm also telling you that you need to be more discerning with what posts you link to when trying to validate yourself, particularly if you are who you claim to be.
Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? The recent changes and the Governing Body's 10 year plan

I have sent you a DM.
I am also interested in verification.

The whole sex thing sounds absurd. However, sex has always been a taboo subject with JWs. If these sex 'directives' are part of a new elder manual then maybe. But they can't possibly teach these in a watchtower study.

3 days agoSt George.
I am very unlikely to live for another 10 years.I might just about last out till then - 50/50 maybe.??
I was thinking St George,
'STAY ALIVE TILL 2034'
Doesn't quite have the same catchy ring to it as Stay Alive till '75 does it! -

Why didn’t you sent a PM?
It might have been easier.

Timing was off, my bad.

A few of OP`s speculations may soon become true. But I believe some of his speculations to be utter nonsense.
"JWs will in time, be allowed by conscience to wear tattoos or piercings." -> JWs are already allowed to wear tattoos, see ijwbq50
"Taking of drugs ... will no longer be considered disfellowshipping." -> No way that 2 Corinthians 6:17-7:1 will be abandoned. Lot of JWs are proud of having stopped smoking and taking drugs. They would never understand if such practices would be declared to be acceptable.
"the Governing Body will issue a statement that different forms of sex within marriage (such as oral and anal) are now permissable" -> GB has already issued such a statement 46 years ago. (W78 2/15)
"private consensual intimacy and sex between adults of the opposite sex will be a conscience matter, as long as vaginal sex and pregnancy is not involved" -> Such redefination of the meaning of porneia is absolutely impossible for JWs. Lot of currently loyal JWs would not accept authority of GB anymore and would leave the org.

Re. easing up on DFing standards ‘cause it creates “apostates”? And more importantly, back in in as little as three months?
I will say this…
…once you’ve been out a while, for whatever reason, and for, say, a year or so), the prospect of reading XJW stuff on the net becomes way less scary.
Know how I know?
’Cause that was me.
If I’d resumed being active within that three-month window, I may very well have never come here.
If this is legit, and a strategic move intended to potentially insulate DFed young people from “apostasy” exposure, then credit where credit’s due.
