Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? The recent changes and the Governing Body's 10 year plan

by redsetter2 in

i am sure we were all shocked at the governing body update #2 with the unusual and impulsive changes set forth.. i am an insider at whq, and when i was on reddit and in communication with avoidjw i explained to the best of my ability that the approach on disfellowshipping was going to change based on the new light at the 2023 agm, that the jubilee rumor was false, and there were going to be changes on how jws approached disfellowshipping in response to the norway situation if it didn't turn out in watchtower's favor.

the decision came because of a legal blow to watchtower, not because "holy spirit" wad directing a faithful slave, who is going to become the "evil slave", more explanation on this soon.. everything i stated came true.

i left reddit exjw community due to the immature and mentally unstable nature there, and yet as has been the case my words came true.

redsetter2 - “…The GB are in panic mode, because this approach has created more ‘apostates’ for them…”

This, I absolutely believe.

Authoritarian regimes always end up creating their own boogeyman, and end up having to deal with the consequences.

redsetter2 - “…they're now trying to crack down on the rise of apostasy, which is more common than sexual immorality within the Org now…”

This is interesting.

If the sheer volume of local needs talks about fornication are any indication, young JWs fuck like rabbits…

…and if the Org thinks there are more closeted apostates (“aclostates”, if you will) than there are rabbits…

Vanderhoven7- “…when the GB discovered the GB is the Faithful Slave…”

I can just imagine how relieved they felt when they realized that…

…the sheer uncertainty before that pivotal moment must have been truly overwhelming.

you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!

the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

summary: .

JW GoneBad - “…Back in the day, say the 80s & 90s the elders would have numerous meetings with those who were in trouble. The thinking was to reach & readjust such ones. Then the hammer came down from HQs telling elders that we had better things to do than to continually meet with wayward ones. We were told to be men & drop the ax so to speak & disfellowship…”

Sounds like either cutting off your nose to spite your face…

…or another tug on the leash.

LeeMerk - “…I had a conversation with a branch overseer from a foreign country one time who said something interesting in response to a smart alec and negative remark I made about Ray Franz once. He said, ‘I knew Ray Franz and liked him. He may have been right about some things but too far ahead’...”

I get that, but you know what’s weird?

Whenever I hear sentiments like that, it always reminds me of the museum date scene in Some Kind of Wonderful.

Seriously.

IMDB quotes Amanda’s confession… “I'd rather be with someone for the wrong reasons then be alone for the right ones” (paraphrasing, but not much)…

…but Kieth’s simple response is what resonated with me…

…“I’d rather be right”.

It wasn’t an ego or knowitall thing… it was an “I’d rather stand alone for the right reasons than live a lie just to be conditionally accepted” thing.

I never forgot it.

(Interestingly, that IMDB quote entry doesn’t include Kieth’s response. I don’t know why.)

I wouldn’t say that.

When I first started fading , I’d already come to realize that evolution had to, in fact, be true (for a number of reasons, actually)…

…and I inevitably found myself asking, “Gosh, if the WT is wrong about something like that, WTF else are they wrong about???”

And here I am, now.

So look at it this way…

…more and more of our arguments, allegations, and assertions are being proven right, often simply by the actions the Org has taken.

That won’t be lost on any of the rank-and-file who still have half a brain…

…which can’t help but foster unspoken questions like, “Gosh, if ‘apostates’ were right about this, that, and the other thing, WTF else are they right about???”

Honestly, I’m gonna be chuckling about this one all day.

by Mikejw in

Vidiot

Know what’s really funny?

My wife and I actually like how I look in a shirt and tie… it was never an issue with us.

JeffT - “I think a good analog for the collapse of the Watchtower is the fall of the World Wide Church of God…”

Oh, hell, yes.

And I guarantee you the Org was watching and taking notes, and it absolutely informed their decision-making process.

It would’ve been weird if that hadn’t been the case.

New rules for dress & greeting disfellowshipped: It's even worse!

by neat blue dog in

i know they're panicking and trying to gain favor with governments, former members, prospective converts & those who are teetering, all for financial worries.

still, the latest update in some ways made things worse, and if there's any jws watching it who are beginning to wake up it should be very disturbing.. starting with dress codes: they say that suits, ties & skirts are no longer required, but in so doing they admit that they were required, something not often appearing as an explicit command in print.

(similar to how lett referred to the "policy on beards" in his video, even though this direct policy wasn't made available to rank and file.

Phizzy - “Anybody hounded now can tell the hounder to ‘go forth and multiply’ without a qualm.”

NewJWspeak: “Go forth and multiply”

Translation: “Go fuck yourself”
