I don't even know why you bother to post such a question since the whole Borg is based on flip flops. However, I'll add a one or two, remember when the Tuesday night book study, or area study, as some of us old timers remember it, was to be called rendezvous? Also around 1969 at the DA it was announced that elders would rotate every year? I know they stopped it, but since I haven't been to mtg since the 80's have they started rotating again?

What Views or Beliefs Do Jehovah’s Witnesses No Longer Teach?
by minimus inevidently they have changed their creative day from being 7000 years per day.
all blood transfusions were taboo but now blood fractions might be allowed to be taken into the body.
vaccinations were sinful at one time but not now.. can you name other views or beliefs that have changed from being considered “truth” to no longer “the truth “?.

Hypocrisy
by BourneIdentity inhypocrisy in the org.
just off the top of my head, i came up with a bunch of examples showing the jw's hypocrisy.
any others to add?.

BourneIdentity - you question the hypocrisy of the Borg? That's what they're based on !!
Everyone knows two things about the Borg, they don't celebrate Christmas and they don't take blood. There is a picture from the 1940's or 50's that show them celebrating Christmas at Bethel and there's a tree behind them with everyone gathered it around it,so, when did Jehovah write an addendum to the bible in the 1940's saying " it is no longer acceptable for JWs to celebrate Christmas ?
Also everyone knows Dubs don't take blood, what scripture now says you can now take blood fractions? BTW, just where do blood fractions come from? Like a cotton fraction comes from cotton, just where does a "blood fraction come from" and once again, what scripture now says it's OK, the Borg wrote the book on hypocrisy !!

This guy is one of those phony witnesses like Serena and especially the model Coco Rochoa (sp) comes to mind, she's always mentioned being at several clubs partying with the young celebs yet still maintains she's a Dub, I think what they really mean is there mom studied with someone, probably got baptized, but doesn't attend the meetings regularly but will call the JWs her family religion

Jehovah is now reaching out to the deaf via the cart work
by ShirleyW inthis week i saw a cart in the subway station, but in front of the rags they had a tablet showing a video.
the video was of a guy doing sign language and i bet my bottom dollar it's the same guy that did the ever popular "don't yank the wank" video.
when i first noticed it i actually thought they were showing that video, but that guy is so over the top with his signing, but i didn't see him signing the actual wank part from the other video.

So, how about that, in the NY subway system can you imagine the thousands of folks that pass them by everyday, now they're turning off the deaf folks as well.

You're asking parents if they just skipped that page, back in the early 70's when I was junior high school age the Sunday Washtowel study was all about oral sex, I always say the first time I've ever heard of oral sex was at the Kingdom Hall.
How about all the little kids sitting there, then later on at home when they usually ask the kids what did you learn today at the meeting today, can you imagine being around that dinner table? Especially around those precocious five and six year old kids that every Cong usually has, can you imagine the questions? THe Borg had no shame discussing that for a whole hour, but god forbid you should see an R-rated movie or engage in sex before marriage.
