Diogenesister - “…I - like Paul Grundy of JWfacts.com - always imagined Geoff Jackson would be the GB member most likely to turn on Watchtower policy… Sadly seeing him be so disingenuous at the Australian Royal Comission scuppered any such hope pretty fast.”
Maybe he was being sneaky.
He comes back to Warwick, exchanges congratulatory high-fives with the rest of the crew for his next-level weasel-wording (‘cause, jeezus, it was)…
…whilst all along, privately smug about how he pulled one over on ‘em, snuck in a surprising nugget of honesty, and helped a handful more see through the horseshit.

Almost makes you wonder if the beard thing isn’t just a tug on the leash…
…but maybe, just maybe, some of these guys are simply realizing, “hey, brothers, this is a stupid-ass rule”.

DesirousOfChange - “I think he looks a hell of a lot better with the beard.”
Agreed, surprisingly.
A lucky break if he drew the short straw.
Maybe that’s the reason for the switch-up…
…these guys finally figured out they needed to look halfway decent on JWTV.

Ding - “…Sometimes think the GB and WT writers don't bother to check what the WT has said before, probably because they know the vast majority of JWs will simply believe the latest ‘light’ and forget they ever said anything different…”
A simpler explanation is that, after a fucking century of consistently inconsistent Old Light, they don’t have the time or manpower to properly wade through and vet the material.

Reminds me of one of Peter Dinklage’s lines in the Disney adaptation of Prince Caspian…
”…get treated like a dumb animal long enough, that's what you become…”

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.

Regardless, the time counting and beard things are absolutely red herrings.
It just makes too much sense…
…it’s all the rank-and-file seems to be talking about, whilst the full implications of JWLite have swished right over their heads.

One theory I’ve heard for Stalining him out of existence is to subtly indicate that he’s no longer viewed as an acceptable teaching example.
Ten bucks says Stephen “that little baby is an enemy of God” Lett is the next one to be shown the door and have his videos replaced or discontinued.

God cannot lie
by psyco in
1. watchtower
2. bible
the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

.

so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.
Vidiot

I lie all the time.
In fact, I’m lying right now.

Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”
by FFGhost in

2. beliefs
so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.

old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.

the “door of the ark” is closed.

Rattigan350 - “…What they teach now at the AGM is the way it has always been…”
No, it’s not.
Rattigan350 - “…think that I'm going to be telling people that I don't care if I make it through armageddon and I don't want to live in the kingdom.”
Not a WT-run kingdom, anyway.
