They made ridiculous changes to "this generation" starting in 2008 and I didn't bat an eye . . . But then they release a new songbook in 2009 and I start thinking about the orgs history. You never can tell what will give somebody a nudge.

Eye-Opener
by ElderStuckin ineach eye-opener in my awakening had nothing to do with apostates.
it was always by looking directly at the so-called spiritual food that helped me awaken.. in 2019 they changed the wording of the second of two baptismal questions which are answered aloud before the audience.
now i realize that these questions have been adjusted over the years.

Drinking expensive drinks - seriously looked down upon as a JW
by Anony Mous ini remember when i was a jw, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon.
it’s better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations i always got told.
so the best thing i ever got was johnny walker red back then (johnny walker is cheap blend).

Tony the Turd was caught on camera buying over $700 of the "good stuff", and he's in good standing. Although with that enormous paunch of his don't know how long he'll be standing.

They may actually hope the outliers fade if they switch to mostly online, that way they're out of the way, and then if they stop reporting hours they can count all irregulars and faded and keep high numbers.

Vaccines are a personal choice. Just like beards, entertainment and dress & grooming.

Any Old-Timers Remember this Kingdom Melody?
by Sea Breeze inwe used to sing a slow song in the late 60's and early 70's that went something like : "don't be afraid of them that can kill the body buy cannot kill the soul" .... or something like that.does anyone remember that one?.

It's still in the song book BUT-- while that line about body and soul used to be sung at the end of every verse in the chorus, they changed that part done you only sing it once, so as not to draw too much attention to this problematic scripture

What could be said about violent radical republicans?
I don't know, what COULD be said of this mythical creature? Even at the capital walk-through, one person was killed and it was one of their own, so . . .

Will there be a sense of urgency in 30 years?
by neat blue dog init's pretty easy to see how current events would have any jw convinced the end is imminent, but i just don't see how there could be a major push for zealous service, pioneering, etc.
decades into the future.
even if (when) world events happen periodically that could scare the r&f, there are now countless hours of hd video of jw leaders saying how close the end is.

There is undoubtedly a lot of fear and seeming confirmation of the last days. I've heard more remarks about that than since the turn of the millennium (Y2K, 9/11, Iraq war etc.) JW Broadcasting is also whipping JWs up a lot more effectively than their old wordy books & cheaply done videotapes.

It just doesn't have that same quant look of a tattered, yellow book or a fuzzy film that can be more easily excused as the light getting brighter. It makes the lies all the more real and preserves them for posterity. Maybe that's just my wishful thinking? What are your thoughts?
