  New light on shunning?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower

  one theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.

  he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .

  what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

  redsetter2 - “Tony's departure was a very small part of this. He knew these changes were going to happen anyway, he was simply trying to slow down the changes.”

  Huh.

  In light of all those incendiary comments he’d made over the years, most of us here figured he’d been angrily and stubbornly blocking the supermajority vote needed to implement the reforms, and was refusing to budge.

  If he really just had misgivings at the speed of their implementation, that suggests a much more level-headed stance than we thought…

  …because IMO, that speed is indeed fucking bonkers.

  I can barely imagine any scenario where it doesn’t all end in a hot mess.

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

  by redsetter2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  Why didn’t you sent a PM?

  It might have been easier.

  NotFormer - “… disfellowshipped are treated better than disassociated?”

  On paper?

  No.

  In practice?

  Abso-fucking-lutely.

  DAs are - except in rare occasions - “apostates”…

  …who are now Satan’s little helpers.

  Condemned murderers on death row would get preached to before a voluntarily DAed XJW.

  Will New Rules Bring JWs Together or Pull Them Apart?

  there's been a lot of discussion about the changes in the org.

  you might think all this would shake things up, especially for the older or super dedicated jws.

  but remember when gb decided all the khs and the bank accounts needed to be transferred/managed from the top?

  ThomasMore - “…JWs are already beginning to devour one another with criticism…”

  And we thought it was a trainwreck in the making before all this crap.

  When I take my over-90-year-old JW mom to the memorial, I wanna shave my beard and wear a tie, just to see WTF happens.

  peacefulpete - “Anyone who has asked AI to answer a controversial question learns quickly that it just regurgitates the information from popular websites. There is no evaluation of accuracy or objectivity. Garbage. Nothing to do with left or right. It's just repeating crap, often contradictory answers in same response.”

  I concur.

  Whoever has queried AI to respond to an uncomfortable query discover quite rapidly that it simply repeats the data from singular webpages. There is no consideration of facts or nuance. Trash. No connection to up or down. It's simply reiterating shit, often antithetical non-solutions in similar regard.

  silentbuddha - “…I then realized this is going to lead to alot of sisters attracting men they otherwise would not… I dont think they thought this through…”

  Or maybe they thought it through quite thoroughly.

  Remember the bit about not giving any more shit to JW women who marry non-JW men?

  And more importantly, why?

  I wonder if pioneers will be allowed to count the time they spent talking to DFed ones?

  JW GoneBad - “…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…”

  redsetter2 - “… The Revelation prophecies and Isaiah and Daniel prophecies will be completely rebranded and diluted to refer to more ‘faith strengthening’ lessons on how Jehovah would help his people during the Last Days and into the 1000 year reign of Christ…”

  That’s… kinda believable, actually…

  …Fred Franz’s old Cold-War-centric End-Times narrative has gotten pretty dated (and all but logistically impossible at this point), and we’ve actually heard rumblings about some CO palaver down in Florida to go over upcoming changes to WT eschatology.

  It does make me wonder just how and where they’d find someone with the creative chops to pull it off, though.

  redsetter2- “…The Evil Slave may refer to the Governing Body of today in the event legal issues cause them to completely disband. Otherwise, the evil slave will simply refer to wicked men who manage to take the lead in Jehovah's Organization today…”

  They’re seriously willing to go that far down the rabbit hole?

  Who amongst them would they specifically kick to the curb to take the heat? Uncle Tony’s already gone. What, they’re gonna draw straws to see who falls on their sword just to prop up the Tower a little longer?

  Me? I’d use Ted Jaracz as the scapegoat if I was gonna go that route…

  …the asshole’s already dead so he can’t complain, nobody liked or missed him, and painting him as the villain would be easy and appropriate, considering it’s his fucking legacy that created the mess they’re in in the first place.
