Yup, that’d pretty much work.
God, the degree of gymnastic pretzel-twisting they’ll go through just to avoid saying “we were wrong” is mind-blowing.
I mean, I get why they do it, but jeezus.
😳
many people say gb will soon dump blood doctrine to appear less fanatical.
others saying it is impossible for them to do that because of legal ramifications.
i think there is a way that could potentially be solution to those problems.

there are assignments on the life and ministry school now where they are suggested to just talk to people without giving a witness.. they are supposed to practice starting conversations with strangers and listening to them to talk about whatever they want to talk about .
there is an assignment this week where the conversation ends without giving a witness.
jws don’t look like jws anymore and now they don’t actually preach.. you could get bearded men with sweaters or other such tops and women in pants or slacks coming upto you in the park or on the street and starting a conversation with you.. then you hear them listening to you and talking about whatever they think that you wanted to talk about .
Mikejw - “…what would be hilarious is if JWs from different congregations actually did this new informal approach on each other in parks or on the streets and they both didn’t know they were JWs…”
Like two Siris arguing. 😏

Ironic that one of the Org’s suspected problems is a hemorrhaging membership…
…necessitating a relaxation of the rules in the hopes of receiving a transfusion.
as portrayed in the convention videos this year about sergei (the fictional jw character in cold-war-era ussr), the jw leaders expect loyalty, even enduring imprisonment and/or death.
in one scene sergei was offered an early release from prison if he would sign a statement renouncing his religion.
well he refused and spent 5 years in prison as a result.
Once again, for the newbies, lurkers, and trolls…
…if you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don’t deserve to be defended.
the new study article 28 watchtower that has just been published on jw.org is about apostate lies and introduces new concepts in their effort to compat apostasy in the congregations.
so despite the loosening of their recent disfellowshipping rules their fight against apostates is still raging hard.
according to the foreword of this article, they will concentrate on :.
Everything fulfills Bible prophecy!
Even the stuff that doesn’t!

“…I think would seem to be quite presumptuous to say that we are the only spokesperson that God is using...”
The most weaselly words a weasel has ever worded.
the new class action lawsuit against the watchtower for having covered up child sexual abuse will begin in court on may 13-14-15, 2024 in the province of ontario, canada.
it is not the same as in the province of quebec because the laws aren't the same.
i don’t have more details.
It’s funny…
…if all the things I imagined during my younger years that I thought might give the Org real trouble…
…financial issues never occurred to me.
amazing new light in the latest morning worship by gary breaux.
the gb "never lie or deceive us.
we can have absolute trust in the governing body".. he then makes a very helpful point, so as to avoid being deceived and avoid lies.
TonusOH - “…You are claiming exclusive divine authority, while also disclaiming any responsibility…”
Which is, needless to say, completely unethical.
the governing body are proud to announce... can you finish off the line for them - the more outrageous the better,, .
The Governing Body are proud to announce…
