skim through the pages, and on page 5, I just thought the artwork on Jesus's now was very odd...is my imagination running wild because of other posting about artwork on this forum?

FragrantAddendum
well, this article is a bunch of 💩💩💩
2 thessalonians 3 is all about marking and avoiding people able-bodied dudes who take "special vows of poverty" and live off donations instead of working secularly to support their own ministry
the circuit overseers and the bethelites and the governing body are the ones to be marked and avoided
it says they "meddle with what they ought not" and don't work to support their own ministry

Take note that the term “Judicial Committee” wont be used anymore but rather “COMMITTEE OF ELDERS”.
Are there any legal consequences if the Borg continue to use the old term?

wt just keeps whitewashing the outside of the cup
the inside is full of every kind of nastiness
the "judicial" committees were never about "justice" anyway
more like injustice
the whole wt hierarchy arrangement should be illegal
since it runs interference with the governments
(telling people to report to bethel before the secular authorities, telling them not to cooperate, etc)

It’s clear that the articles have been machine-translated back into English, but otherwise appears legitimate. The final article confirms that their ‘softer’ position on shunning is actually just more emotional manipulation of those who might want to return, and continued total shunning of those who do not want to be JWs, apparently including ‘disassociated’ individuals if they show no interest in accepting JW beliefs. So, still in violation of the right to freedom to change religion. But because it was withdrawn, it remains to be seen what will be said in the final version.

Many thanks!
So like watchtower to act high and mighty and all knowing and spiritually prescient in these articles, when in actual fact they have been FORCED TO CHANGE due to being legally up against the wall with their shunning practices!!
