Can you imagine the shock waves throughout the medical community if the cult eased-up and softened on the no-blood doctrine? WT would be making a mockery of tons of hospitals who've bent over backwards to accommodate this senseless WT teaching. The embarrassing situation that dedicated JW nurses & dedicated JW doctors will find themselves in who over the many years have supported the JW anti-blood policy. What about JW elders who over the years have put in tons of time into HLC related hospital visits. How many JW deaths in hospitals due to the no-blood policy have they (elders) witnessed?
I myself know of a few non-JW doctors who have dedicated an enormous amount of time & resources in order to oblige JW patients & their no-blood demands...they (doctors) would be delighted to hear WT has shit-canned this absurd JW no-blood teaching!

Prediction: no more changes for a long while
by slimboyfat ini’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.
so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.
maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

Jack In The Box Inc., McDonald's Hamburgers Inc., Taco Bell Inc., Dell Taco Inc., Kentucky Fried Chicken Inc. & a heap of other big-name junk-food companies have been soo dynamic in how they run their organizations that they have their clientele returning every day for breakfast, brunch, lunch & dinner.
Me doesn't think WTBTS has been as effective & dynamic with their spiritual junk-food as some may think! The real difference here is that the WTBTS is not gaining any real new customers...in fact they're clientele base are dropping like flies. Whereas the above mentioned Fast Food Corporations are growing, expanding their menus, gaining new customers and are here to stay.
Junk Fast-Food establishments are in great demand worldwide...The WTBTS and the Spiritual-Fast-Food they have to offer sucks to a good percentage of the JW rank & file including to the masses of mankind!

The Memorial and my thoughts.
by Truth and Justice inno matter what opinions you may have, the memorial is very important to us.
many are opposed to the way the organization performs the memorial because of restrictive rules as to who should partake.
as jesus said in scripture, "keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

Damn...I mean damn! Several times throughout the talk the speaker threatened the audience about partaking of the emblems 'unworthingly'! What the hell business is it of his who partakes and who doesn't?

Thoughts on Likely Upcoming Changes in the Org.
by Phizzy ini am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.
the org.
has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?

Thoughts On Likely Upcoming Changes in The Org.
I noticed not once throughout GB Sanderson's 20 minute March #2 Update of the 8 or 9 changes that there was any mention whats-so-ever of the expression 'New Light ' (Proverbs 4:18) which for decades has accompanied any new changes and refinements in WT teachings, beliefs and doctrine. In the past the GB have always mistakenly referenced Proverbs 4:18 to add weight to any changes/refinements in order to justify and bolster their right in doing so.
At time-stamp 4:00 GB Sanderson uses the expression "The Governing Body has prayerfully considered" and the expression "...that's led to a clearer understanding..." then proceeds with the 8 or 9 changes without alluding to Proverbs 4:18 'New Light' but rather uses the expression "...that's led to a clearer understanding" or words to that effect throughout the 20 minute video.
Is WT finally going to stop after 50 to 60 years the misuse & misrepresentation of Proverbs 4:18...me thinks so? Will WT soon follow-up with a Video Update or Broadcast explaining their nolonger referencing Proverbs 4:18 in connection with changes or refinements of Bible Scriptures...who knows?

People...will be excited to partake, will feel closer to God and thank the organisation for it.
Of the 8 million JWs, 4 million will be excited & partake...the remainder 4 million will get fed-up with the changes & walk away from the cult.
Allowing rank & file to partake of the emblems would be a very costly gamble!

Will recent dress-code changes affect the WTS negatively?
by Wonderment inin 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.

Let's just say it's not going to do them any good!

Obviously the silly October 2023 AGM announcement of no longer requiring the JW rank & file to report monthly hourly field service hours wasn't enough; the December 2023 foolish announcement of JW men being allowed to grow facial hair (beards) wasn't enough; and now the March 2024 nutty 8 changes including JW women permitted to wear pants/slacks wherever the hell they choose...what the hell!
Who is it that has the WTBTS & the Governing Body under subjugation?

WingCommander: "...1 guy from a couple, 1 woman from the other couple, decide they'd like to be married to each other instead of their spouses.
They decide to have an affair, then go to the Elders and confess, knowing they'll be DF'd. They do just this..."
WingCommander: This scenario played out in my congregation...exactly as you spell out in your post.
The adulterous schemer brother (we'll call him Jim) was a member of the good Ole Boys Club in my servant body. The adulterous schemer sister (we'll call her Sally) was from another local congregation & married to a well liked prominent elder (we'll call him Frank) in his congregation. Jim & Sally had the hots for each other. Jim was married to a homely type gal in my congregation (we'll call her Mary).
Jim confesses to our elders & Sally confesses to her elders of their hanky-panky. Jim gets off with public reproof because he found a loop hole in the system & his being a member of the good Ole Boys Club certainly helped his cause. Sally also got off with public reproof because of her ex's prominent position in his congregation & because there were children involved on both sides.
Long story short Jim & Sally marry. Less than a year later both Jim & Sally get their privileges back. Jim works his way up the latter & soon becomes elder. Today Jim is COBE in the same congregation & Sally is a Regular Pioneer. Oddly enough Jim gives both wedding & memorial talks!🤣
The aftermath: I've seen Mary over the years at various JW venues...she remains lonely, single & homely...Frank moved on with his life & moved out of the area perhaps faded. Of all the children involved, one daughter might still be a JW, one son died by suicide. The other children just drifted away somewhere.
What's the moral of the story...I dunno...maybe it pays to be prominent & a member of the JW good Ole Boys Club...maybe!
PS: Boy, does this bring back memories of other scandalous behavior among the Jehovah’s Witnesses over the years!🤣 -

Where was it raised?
It was raised by a few of the df'd ones in the congregation. And so the elders decided amongst themselves that those who were df'd could associate with one another. WT could have addressed the issue sometime later and formally in writing (maybe the Shepherd The Flock Book) told the elders otherwise.
