by Vanderhoven7 in

some might be interested in this comprehensive list of changes and reversals in the channel of truth.. reading history:.

Speaking of changes...any chance that the GB will reverse its 'New Light' on beards? Some day soon saying something to the effect: "The matter of brothers being allowed to wear beards has served its purpose yada, yada, yada!"

There's been countless changes on Sodom and Gomorrah over the years as to whether the inhabitants would be resurrected. The 2023 AGM again made a change saying something to the effect: "We dunno...we can't be dogmatic on the matter of Sodom and Gomorrah"!

There's been countless changes over the years to the generation understanding of Matthew 24:34...last I checked somewhere between 6 to 8 adjustments...and a ton of changes over the years on a ton of other Bible topics!

Any thoughts on future GB modification on beards...inquiring minds want to know!

2024 when will Witnesses admit they are wrong???

by Witness 007 in

1914 generation is long gone.

1975 was a joke 40 years ago.

i know of many witnesses still hanging on for armagedon but when will they give up?

JW GoneBad

It's 2024, when will Witnesses admit they were wrong???

I'm a Witness and ashamed & embarrassed to say I'm a member! We were wrong...we are a toxic cult...we destroy families...many among us are driven to suicide. There are millions among us that feel the same way as I...some to a lessor degree maybe...but none the less, tons of Witnesses are disgusted by the WTBTS aka Jehovah’s Witnesses...believe it!

The Next Big Thing In WT World

by NotFormer in

things got a bit lively after the agm leaks in october.

there was a lot of discussion going on on this board for a few months.

now that all the leaks have been more or less confirmed as policy, and we've had lively discussions at length concerning the changes, things seem to have slowed down here.. a few suggestions have been raised as to what might be the next changes, such as women being allowed to wear slacks (in the usa, anyway), decoupling from 1914 as an anchoring date and others.. so, what changes do you think will be announced this year?.

JW GoneBad

The next big thing in WT world:

I would have thought by now that WT might of done away with its mis-applying Proverbs 4:18...misusing this verse like a get out of jail pass in order to get out of the constant undesirable situation they find themselves in of getting things wrong & forever having to change JW doctrines and teachings.

I'm sure the topic of Proverbs 4:18 over the years has been on the table & up for discussion numerous times during their notorious weekly Wednesday Governing Body meetings. I'm also sure the GB have gotten their share of emails, phone calls, letters & the like to the effect:

"Y'all know that Proverbs 4:18 doesn't have anything to do with new religious, organizational doctrinal understanding or as you call it...New Light!"

Me thinks someday soon their gonna be forced to fess-up to the rank and file & tell them there's New Light on Proverbs 4:18!

This cult has no shame in its criminal activity...WT directs elders to wipe-out, erase and eliminate any CSA evidence and paper trail! Paragraph 5 on 1st page of Information Worksheet says as follows:

"5. Once the service department sends final direction on the matter to the body of elders, all copies of this worksheet (printed or electronic) should be destroyed. Do not retain any copies of this worksheet in the congregation file or elsewhere."

Fading is better then completely leaving...comments?

by Witness 007 in

i got the internet in my house and realised it's all lies....but as a pioneer/ministerial servant i chose to fade.

see i had family and friends who were fully strict witnesses.

so i played the poor lost soul brother who is not sure what's happening.

JW GoneBad

Different strokes for different folks! Each XJW will exit this toxic cult in a way that best suits his needs. For me it's been a definite hard fade, maintaining a low profile. I'm shunned by those I choose to be shunned by...if that makes sense! I'm happy & content with life & the relationships I have.

I'm very happy & okay not being around anything toxic Watchtower/Jehovah’s Witnesses related.

Me says the Information Worksheet appears legit from the WTBTS...please don't shoot the messenger!

Seems like WT is just gathering information to add to its already existing large CSA Data Base...and in the process shooting itself in the proverbial foot...yet again!

Are JWs forgetting Jesus altogether?

by KerryKing in

a relative sent me yesterday's wt study article 46, how jehovah guarantees his promise of paradise.. it's been a long time since i read one of those articles but what really struck me about this one is that, considering it's discussing a fundamental jw belief, it only mentions jesus twice as an aside, and not at all as the central figure like the bible does.

it actually mentions satan far more in the same article!.

i don't remember this discrepancy from my time in the org 15 years ago.

JW GoneBad

JWs have for decades & decades only given Jesus Christ token service. They're hung-up on the hybrid name 'Jehovah' & have been what seems like forever. Also noteworthy, for the past couple of years they've emphasized the word 'Organization' more and more as well as the GB Meatheads who run this organization.

But as far as the main character in the Christian Greek Scriptures (New Testament) Jesus Christ...Kerry King is spot on ...J. C. as far as JWs are concerned will continue to occupy a back seat...he's just not relevant at this time in Watchtower world!

Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

by hoser in

friends

the kingdom hall is still empty.

even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

JW GoneBad

"...struggle to get people to attend!"

Last week's mid-week meeting nearly 50 participants on zoom...only one participant (a elderly sister & her husband) camera was on...otherwise all other cameras were off! Of those 50 participants on zoom 5 were elders & their wives & all their cameras were dark/off...go figure!

2023 Yearly Report UNDER the Microscope

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.

branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).

number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).

JW GoneBad

What Magnum said...spot on!

This cult...like some of the old, aged GB meat-heads...has one foot in the grave!
