Until the Borg changes its policies and becomes more Christian,,it is harmful and has to face head-on resistance.
As nicolaou stated a few posts back.
even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

what happened to jehovah’s witness young men and why did it happen?______in the 1960s men of draft age were called upon to either serve in the military (during the vietnam war) or to comply with the alternate service option: serving in a hospital or community in need.. non-jehovah’s witnesses were faced with only one refusal: military service.jw boys and young men were instructed (in private) to refuse the alternate civilian service as well.
the superior authorities had made this exemption for people of conscience.the law was clear on this.
if we worked in a hospital community we would be free to go about our witnessing ministry - if we double-refused: we would languish in prison.a no-brainer to them.
No apology is necessary,,if you watch GG4GB latest video.
I mean come on what would you expect?
The Borg just doubles down and gets more stubborn.
governing body member jeffrey winder on jw dot org:“we are not embarrassed about ‘adjustments’ that are made; nor is an apology needed for not getting it ‘exactly right’ previously.
we understand: this is how jehovah operates.”

""We must be ready to obey any instructions whether or not they seem strategic from a human standpoint or not""
Something like that
You never know what they could ask for.

We don't know.
Evidently.
Maybe
Perhaps
We can assume
Clearly
No doubt.
In other words, we don't have a clue, but you must listen to us, we are the mouthpiece of God.
LOL, Okkkkkkay, ROFL.

"25a. Have you ever spent $100's of dollars worth of money on strong alcohol that could have been donated to the world wide work while you should have been attending a meeting?"

I remember that Jack Torrance does get his chance to "redeem" himself,,,when Delbert Grady expresses his doubts about Jacks ""heart" not being in it. This was when Jack was stuffed in the storage by Wendy after she clubbed Jack on the head.
I cant remember the exact dialog. Grady did have doubts about Jacks intentions though.
One of the greatest movies ever!
