  2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a change to their doctrine came from jackson.

  this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.

  but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

  NotFormer - “…Perhaps even they got sick of date setting.”

  Historically, apocalyptic groups have needded to occasionally date-set to stir up membership zeal.

  The Org has such a poor track record, however, that the tactic is long past it’s sell-by date.

  Sea Breeze - “PA. has charged 14 Jehovah's Witnesses with CSA just since last fall! More expected.”

  Would’ve been 15 if that one guy hadn’t put a bullet in his head before the cops could arrest him.

  Beliefs clarified - A big fat WTF for 2025

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah’s witnesses have an official page for clarified beliefs they encourage elders, ministerial servants, regular pioneers, as well as all the rest of the elite, to keep up to date with:.

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200277174.

  2025 has a curious clarification:.

  Maybe too many folks were clueing in to last year’s read-between-the-lines last-minute loophole, and asking, “well, WTF’s the point in even being a JW, then?”

  Do children still get destroyed at Armageddon?

  by Anony Mous in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i know back in the day, that was taught, that if the parents were going to be destroyed, so would the children.

  i just can't easily find reference to anything.

  this thinking has been used to justify some egregious behavior towards children and their parents such as exclusion of children from jw family - why worry, the end is near, all will work itself out then - the end didn't come though.

  Biahi - “So, if everyone makes it through Armageddon, there is no point in preaching, and starting studies!”

  Well, the ministry has been pretty thoroughly gutted already, so…

  Mikejw - “New light is everyone makes it through Armageddon unless really bad.”

  At that point, YTF even bother with Armageddon?

  The abuse of JW org

  by wozza in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  awhile ago i said on here i would like to show how wrong the jehovahs witness organisation is , in that they will not accept the testimony of a victim of sexual crime where the victim has no other witnesses to the crime.

  i faced this with helping my ex wife for about 15 years in exposing her father , an elder, to the jw org.

  his raping of her over years and they believed him.. so therefore the perpetrator knowing of the organisations stance can easily deny and therefore be free to pretend to serve as an innocent jw still mixing with the congregation ,and also i have witnessed an accused perpetrator of child molestation witnessing at my next door neighbors house in field service with a child of another family even though the elders knew of the accusations against him.

  Not quite.

  It’s a tactic to keep secular authorities from investigating and scrutinizing the inner workings of the Org, and exposing not just human rights violations, but just how widespread, institutionalized, and endemic their CSA problem is, which would…

  a) …potentially place their charity status and tax-exemption at risk, and…

  b) …too deeply undermine the Org’s claim of being “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” amongst the rank-and-file.

  The Dangers of Independent Thinking

  "the dangers of independent thinking".

  reading mary's thread regarding the july 15th wt, i began to really consider what the wbts' problem is with "independent thinking".. what exactly is "independent thinking" and what about its opposite, "dependent thinking"?

  i think the following excerpt from an article here does a good job of defining them.

  I distinctly remember the moment I realized that the WTS didn’t really want me to think too much.

  I actually felt a measure of despair, because I practically lived in my own head.

  The prospect of being intellectually hamstrung for God knows how long (if not forever) was depressing AF.
