This is just a reiterating of the same adjustment that was made over a decade ago, in almost the same words. Same purpose then as now, to avoid liability for any molesting that goes on.

Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?
by LostintheFog1999 inwere you ever on a congregation picnic?
i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".
well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

JW.org missing the point of the last supper
by neat blue dog inof course most christians partake in different ways at different intervals (the bible never says strictly annual) but obviously the main point is christ's flesh and blood.
for jws the main attraction is the organization's sales pitch and in the new 2023 memorial invitation they pretty much admit it, quote:.
the main feature of the memorial is a talk.

Dear Governing Body, can you enlighten me....
by BoogerMan in......regarding the 'slave's' statement which says the "great crowd" must also "figuratively partake?".
w87 6/15 p. 19 par.
13 - "in 1986: it was appreciated that both the remnant and the “great crowd” must figuratively partake of jesus’ flesh and blood by accepting his sacrifice in order to be in harmony with him.

Very true BM. The JWs say that the 'great crowd' are pictured by proselyte residents and don't partake of the memorial, yet they ignore the command in Exodus 12 regarding the Passover:
"All the assembly of Israel are to celebrate it. If a foreigner resides with you ... he will become like a native of the land. ... One law will apply for the native and for the foreigner who is residing among you.”

Clever Misdirection
by TD ini was looking at the (mostly) wrong answers to a riddle that's making the rounds on social media and thought it was a good example of how something simple (in this case, grade school math) can be distorted with words.
the riddle goes like this:.
i bought a cow for $800.. i sold it for $1000.

Pete you're overthinking it, nothing to do with tip. The three dollars were subtracted resulting in 27 and the remaining $2 to be consistent should also have been, resulting in 25. The manager subtracted 3 and then added 2 for some bizarre reason.

The Chosen
by enoughisenough ini started watching the chosen because i have amazon prime (free to watch) and i saw some sort of reference to in on youtube if i recall.
anyway, imo it is so heart warming the way jesus is being portrayed.
i was thinking even if the jw produce that series they plan on the life of jesus, it will have a high bar already set.

The new JW Jesus series is just another thing that the org is ripping off from other Christian groups years afterwards, like the Bible app, kids cartoons, televangelism and pop music. -

What makes a cult (in the pejorative sense)?
by Vanderhoven7 inmichael moore writes:.
a cult is an organization that enslaves minds and destroys families using cult mind control.
cult mind control involves orchestrated deception, social pressure, psychological abuse, and repetitive indoctrination (brainwashing) centering around an unchallengeable ideology enforced in a totalitarian way in a closed socially-separatist community setting.

Bull. The WT is far more eager to 'play ball' with the side that seems more marketable to the brainwashed masses. They kiss up to the liberal government and try to prove how normal they are, and are ALL IN on the concept of "misinformation" (even publishing an article warning against it and saying to trust experts and obey the government) vaccine mandates, environmentalism (for different reasons) etc. They try to distance themselves from every other Christian group when possible, and won't touch the current right with a ten foot pole.

O Holy Night
This is universally seen as a Christmas song, but when you read the lyrics they're moving, simple and beautiful, & doctrinally not at odds with pretty much any denomination even JWs. Yet because it's from so called BtG it's off limits.

O Holy Night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born

the people who plan and protect our lives
Thanks for at least admitting their hubris in trying to plan our lives .
