  Will New Rules Bring JWs Together or Pull Them Apart?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's been a lot of discussion about the changes in the org.

  you might think all this would shake things up, especially for the older or super dedicated jws.

  but remember when gb decided all the khs and the bank accounts needed to be transferred/managed from the top?

  Will recent dress-code changes affect the WTS negatively?

  by Wonderment in

  in a span of a few months time, we have had many unexpected changes announced by the jw organization.

  some here have expressed the belief that a great number of witnesses will leave the religion.

  in fact, there is a great probability the opposite will be true.. yeah, ancient hardliners will have a hard time assimilating these changes, but the younger generation will likely welcome these changes.

  JUNE 2024 Study Watchtower

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  june 2024 study watchtower p. 3, par.

  5 - "he promises to make “a covenant of peace with them.” that prophecy points to a time when those who have a heavenly hope and those who have an earthly hope will be united under his figurative tent as “one flock.” (john 10:16) that time is now!".

  i thought the bible said there was only "one hope...one faith.

  Jehovah is/means the WTcorporation. GB,, KHs,,elders etc,etc...

  In the $heeples minds "Jehovah" is always there. Like an illusion because to the $heeples ""Jehovah" really means the above things because it implies the same thing.

  The Borg twists things in order to make something or different things to seem like one thing. Or something that is not there,,,they can convince otherwise.

  Like a concept. To believe something convuluted or made up.

  Thats just my observations

  June 2024 WT: Don't talk about Anthony Morris

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the latest study edition mentions hypothetical scenarios of jws who are no longer serving at bethel or no longer elders, etc.

  and says we shouldn't speculate, as defaming them could border on slander.. we could unintentionally defame someone by spreading negative information.

  ..... would it be proper to speculate on the reasons why these adjustments were made and to share that opinion with others?.

  Slim is bang on.

  They already have in place a systematic way of ostracizing 'weak' ones inactive or.....whomever they want to ostracize as they see fit.

  Quit showing up to meetings.

  Miss meetings.

  Dont comment.

  Go inactive

  Go irregular.

  See what I mean?

  Is the fight over?

  by nicolaou in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm still digesting these changes and i think i'll reserve judgement for some months until we see how it all plays out in reality.. however, if the disfellowshipping process really has been de-fanged and shunning is beginning it's retreat into the society's past then what excuses will there be in the years to come for anyone who wants to leave?.

  i can almost understand why they've done this.

  more carrot, less stick.

  Beards vs. Shunning announcements

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during lett’s announcement that beards are now allowed he elaborated at some length how brothers ought to feel and react to the change in policy.

  he warned brothers not to resent not being able to grow beards earlier if they had wished to do so.

  he also warned brothers who supported the old policy not to allow themselves to wonder what the point of doing so was now that it has changed.
