Would sure like to know the source, or at least have more than one (two witnesses anyone?).

Apparently Robert Hendriks' III deletion as WT's PID spokesman was not on good terms. The following is said from some "reliable" sources:
"Robert Hendriks III was dishonorably removed, more so than Tony Morris. He has proven to be a man "hiding who he is". Good riddance is all I can say."
"Robert Hendriks III dismissal was a worse sin. Tony Morris was definitely dismissed for being "not open to any agreement"...with the alcohol issue being a side problem as part of the evidence against him. Robert Hendriks' III sin was far worse."

Thank you Atlantis for the Robert Hendriks III dismissal exjw reddit link!
I must say for an old fella (Grandpa) you sure do get around!
"judge" rutherford defined or classified all religion as "a snare and a racket" in his books "religion" and "enemies".. after rutherford's death in 1942, his protege, watchtower vice president, and aclu darling, hayden c. covington, in the early 1950's, for reasons of legal expedience and supremacist aspirations, suddenly converted the watchtower into a religion.. this was done alongside one of the most audacious, spurious and longstanding swindles of the us legal system.
this involved twisting philippians 1:7 and misrepresenting the watchtower's true nature, objectives and activities.. .
this meant that it became necessary for the watchtower to suddenly reclassify and redefine religion (w51 1/15 p. 43 new legal booklet well named; w51 8/15 p. 511 questions from readers; yb75 p. 161 part 2 "for gladys bolton...").. two new watchtower classifications were suddenly created: "true religion" and "false religion".. now "true religion" meant "true beliefs" whilst "belief" in ever changing watchtower doctrine was equated with the one "faith" of scripture.. all this while the watchtower increasingly and maliciously truncated, obfuscated and hid the liberating full "good news" (or unabridged gospel) of scripture, which it lyingly claimed (in court) that it was actually "defending and legally establishing".. how would you have defined religion before learning ttatt?.
Religion defined:
Religion is a snare and a racket!
The Jehovah’s Witnesses Organization aka WTBTS being one of the most reprehensible & culpable of them all!

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!

Same...link didn't work!
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?
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!
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?.
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."
