  The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.

  perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.

  how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

  as the halls of the kingdom are emptying, the brothers vanish.

  People always makes there assertions on the forum, but I see no evidence for it. Kingdom Halls are pretty full. There are a few more JWs who stay home and watch on Zoom after the pandemic, mainly older ones, but overall attendance is, if anything, slightly up.

  The churches, on the other hand, are emptying fast; of this I also have firsthand knowledge across a broad spectrum, including Catholic, Church of Scotland, Free Church, Methodist, Unitarian, Christadelphian, Brethren, and Christian Scientist churches.

  If it was health reasons why remove his videos from the website and his image from photos?
  I’m not saying a Bethelite didn’t say that, or believe it was heath reasons and voluntary, but there’s no reason bethel gossip can't be wrong.

  Giacomo = Commentary on the Letter of James

  Yes, Ray Franz even printed the original versus the revised version in one of his books.

  Why? Is there more information to this than just the lateness?

  🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶

  Hail the Lloydocracy ever decreasing

  Wondrous contraction is now taking place

  Exposure of him is now shared without ceasing

  By those who’ve heard of his big fat disgrace

  🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶

  Two years ago saw his tumble beginning

  As this cult leader sought hookers abroad

  Now a vast crowd see that justice is winning

  His ‘life-saving’ work is a cynical fraud

  Do JWs Get Excited About WT Publications Any More?

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  memory from long ago: my old mate from high school lived next door to a jw and was often "treated" to the latest jw literature.

  when the "you can live forever in paradise on earth"* book came out, this neighbour waxed lyrical about how good this book was and how powerful the message was.

  he acted really keen about it, like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

  Since they stopped counting placements and hours, JWs will naturally stop placing literature or doing ministry. What you don’t count doesn’t count. JWs get the message, and it seems pretty inevitable that ministry activity will be a shadow of its former self in no time at all.

  I know of harbour witnessing being organised in the UK from at least the mid 90s too.
