the borg seem to prepare for changes by missing explanations out for a while then presenting a "new understanding" which doesn't contradict the most recent discussion.check out the most recent references to gog - no identification as satan.. in today's wt study, paragraph 15 concerning benefitting from the prodigal son stated "if we meet a person who has strayed from the congregation, will we offer loving and practical help to assist him to return?
" there is no footnote or other qualifier saying not to go to disfellowshipped ones (who are definitely the ones being talked about) which is still the official policy.
i know this isn't an ending to shunning, but it may signal the start of the preparation for a change.
The Spanish edition included a caveat.
Si encontramos a una persona que se ha apartado de la congregación pero no está expulsada, ¿la ayudaremos de manera amorosa para que pueda regresar?
If we find a person who has seperated themselves from the congregation BUT IS NOT DISFELLOWSHIPPED, will we help them in a loving way so that they can return?
done4good, I agree.
FYI: That is not just some random elder. Richard Ash is a Bethelite (former D.O.) and one of the Service departments "experts" on matters involving child sexual abuse.
