with the change to reporting field service and now allowing people to repent during the gt, presumably up until armageddon, i'm assuming that the "hailstones" message is now permanently on hold.
can someone explain this to me; am i understanding this right?.
I'm actually hoping,,really hoping that they implement and bring on this Jonestown,,hailstone judgement. Im really hoping they do.
Because that way they will be stuck with it. They will paint themselves into a corner which there is no way out of.
It would be priceless to see them weasel out of that one.

The same weasel words evidently,,we can assume. Apparently the hailstones blah,,blah...
how many remember when the wts changed their policy on alternative service; changed it to alternative civilian service so jw men could choose it because it was not supervised by the military.
shows how the wts quibbles with words to advance a "new teaching.
" flag salute, voting, civilian service p. 212. civilian service.
They went to prison needlessly,,,now have a criminal record.
They went to prison,,having lifelong implications.
Because some guys felt it necessary at the time,,,,or couldn't make up their minds.
Affecting their lives tremendously and negatively.
And the victims will likely never hear '''boo"" from these guys in New York with an explanation or apology.
am i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?
i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.
so that he could take his wife out for a meal.
What is beyond ironic and hypocritical is how the Borg can sell any KH or a$$embly that was dedicated to Jehovah,,,pull the rug out from under its $heeples and sell it to some "worldly" organization.
let's get the fun started and put in our votes for how far down the pumpkin patch lord of the fries will fall in november.. for those keeping score, last month he started at 457 patrons, did some begging and managed to bump those numbers up to 478, but as of this writing he's down to 439.. so, how well do you think the grift will continue this month?
let us know where you think he'll be on november 2. lucky number 420?
will he drop back down below 400?
so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?
Yea,,,its a way of massaging the numbers again.
To make it look like something is happening when really theres nothing.

You dont see anywhere in the Bible that prohibits voting???
Thats because its NOT there. The Borg needs all its $heeples thinking and acting alike.
I don't know if you follow Owen on his Telltale channel. He illustrated how the Borg can't afford to have political divisions. The Borg needs all its members to think and act all the same. By prohibiting voting and keeping the $heeples from forming political views,,,the Borg can mold and make the members think and act all alike.
No political views,,no opinions,,,the Borg always preaches.........you guessed. UNITY.
They spout it all the time.

How can they be God's channel on Earth,,,when they get so many things wrong?
That always puzzled me too.
The cognitive dissonance must be just beyond migraine inducing for JWs.
1. doctrinal changes how new light comes about.
the gb raise questions then talk about it, unless it’s unanimous they wait, then years later talk again if it’s unanimous it then gets announced as new light.. 2. the gb are imperfect and sometimes make mistakes.
they are not to apologise or even admit they were wrong.
mark jones writes.
there have been only a handful of occasions where a jehovah’s witness has successfully engaged me in respectable conversation with mutual respect.
one such person started off like this and (unfortunately) has become an angry little man over the years.
""Ask the JW if they have doubts or difficulty with anything. If they say no, tell them you are available to talk if they ever want to be honest with themselves,""
That's where the cognitive dissonance kicks in. Because of fear from being found out by the elders & disciplined or from realizing that perhaps they could be wrong.
Mind control,,,,runs deep. Aweful.
