i understand he intimated that the faithful slave was not the only spokesman for jehovah god.
he also intimated that corporal punishment was not advocated by the wts.
we're these lies or deception or did they represent the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?.
I seem to recall an instance back in the late 90s or early 00s where a JW dad beat his kid so bad she died (in Chicago, I think)…
…and not long after, the Org published material to the effect that the “rod” should be viewed like a shepherd’s staff, used to gently guide a flock, rather then beat them with it.

The most weaselly words any weasel has ever worded.

They do seem to like the round-table-discussion-style imagery.
even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..
Seriously, though…
…if that’s really the case, I can’t help but wonder just how much the GB’s “Old Guard” is fuming that the GB’s “New Liters” are essentially capitulating to the trend, instead of cracking the whip like the old days.

ElderBerry - “…JWLITE is actually happening in real time…”
We just have a name for it, now. 😏

NotFormer - “…Perhaps they fear assassination attempts if they all meet together at the same time… Not being serious, BTW.”
Thing of it is…
…I can actually imagine some of the more deluded Old Guard thinking this.
Jaracz used to stoke fears of a “Vast Apostate Army”.
are the governing body really in charge or are they just a figurehead with the real power being behind the curtain .
They know it’s wrong…
…but believe it’s true…
…at the same time.

notsurewheretogo - “…the GB are simply trapped in believing they are chosen…”
That’s good.

Pshhh, yeah…
…good luck getting the toothpaste back in that tube.

can anyone reveal the "mothership's" income/expenditure stats for any recent year?.
in the uk, charities must be transparent and publish their annual financial information, but in the u.s. it's not so clear..
Or they just can’t afford to pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar.
