thedepressedsoul - “…I honestly believe that they know 1914 is not real…”
’Course they do.
But they’re the WT leadership.
They know it’s wrong…
…but believe it’s true…
…at the same time.
i have heard a lot of talk over the last year or so if the gb will eventually ditch 1914 and some have even made the claim that most, if not all of the gb do not believe in 1914. ive given this some thought and in the past i wasnt sure.
this annual meeting puts 100%, without a doubt in my mind that the gb do not believe in 1914. id even go as far to say that they talked about that date and have a game plan in mind.. here is why i feel this way:.
there were a lot of changes with the parables at this annual meeting.
become a jw only if you can't cope with the real world.
i believe i picked this up here but can't find the thread.
i think it worth a repost.. “top ten reasons jehovah's witnesses can't cope with the real world.
on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

fyi, i posted this prediction on my facebook page last night and it has received 224 likes and there have been 83 comments made.
many of the comments are hilarious.. .
a beard prediction for 2024:.
what is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.

I think out of all the GB members so far, XJWs have given Anthony Morris III the most nicknames…
…”Anthony Morris the Turd”… “Spanky McTightypants“… “Top-Shelf Tony” (my favourite)…
…and now “Tony Two-House”.
😁
Makes him sound like some old, washed-up wiseguy…
…which, when you think about it, ain’t far off.
😏
lett has announced in the latest video update that jehovah has dignified the brothers by now letting them to choose for themselves whether they want to have a beard or not -.

this applies worldwide and to all brothers in any position..

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..

They're probably the kind of parents who resent kids being “spoiled” with all the advantages and benefits of the modern era…
….not realizing that one of the whole fucking points of being a parent is to provide a better life for your kids than you had growing up.
