  what you are about to watch is another leaked instalment from the recent annual meeting delivered by kenneth cook with the theme "help to tear down and build up" and highlights tge new take o disfellowshipping that will from now concentrate on major wrongdoing whereas minor wrongdoing will be dealt with kind and love.so the watchtower's at it again, rewriting the narrative like an old tv show that conveniently forgets a character's past.

  for decades, the organization has been the ultimate gatekeeper, quick to kick out members for even minor missteps—let's not forget how jehovah's witnesses have had to grovel and practically beg to be reinstated.

  You know…

  …I actually kinda respected ‘em a bit more when they wouldn’t budge on doctrines and policies…

  …it was shitty, but you knew where you and they stood.

  1/25 WT: Oral and Anal sex are a go - if she's ok with it

  he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.

  a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.

  generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

  Show me a man who doesn’t go down on his woman, and I’ll show you a woman who steps out on her man.

  Rattigan350 - “…sex is not fun unless it is naughty.”

  That’s the first thing you’ve ever said that made any sense. 😏

  “…It is only because of the ransom that we have forgiveness of our sins..."

  "….The Bible explains that at death a person is set free or released from any sins he committed…."

  I’ve always found that little dichotomy puzzling.

  Listener - “…They should have been honest and said these matters were not for the GB or Elders to dictate on…”

  The GB being honest?

  Relinquishing dictatorial authority?

  What planet do you think we’re on?

  Explanation for changes to Disfellowshipping rules at Annual Meeting

  wally, a youtuber from jw thoughts highlighted something that was said by kenneth cook jnr in the annual meeting.

  he thinks it may be removed before they publish the agm.

  i doubt we would see it in writing either.. part of kenneth's talk was about the changes regarding disfellowshipping and the clip from jw thoughts youtube shows him saying -.

  They’re just trying to look nicer to keep from hemorrhaging members and losing their charity status/tax exemption.

  Ten bucks says that at the grassroots level, the asshelders will still treat the congregations in a heavy-handed manner, and the problems will continue…

  …’cause by now, almost all the thoughtful, conscientious ones are off the docket.

  JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

  can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

  i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

  in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

  Rattigan350 - “…The main problem is that they are constrained from changing things because Damned if they do, damned if they don't. IF they change 607 or blood transfusions, they will get so much flack from that, it is better to leave things alone.”

  Wrong.

  The main “problem” is that they are trying to avoid or mitigate the negative consequences of the Org’s mistakes and misdeeds…

  …but if said consequences are damning them no matter which way they go, that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

  “…FreetheMasons (previous username - EasyPrompt)…”

  Damn, I’d completely missed that.

  I think their posts got even longer after they switched handles.

  What made you look behind the jw curtain?

  by Touchofgrey in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was listening to a lunchtime call in radio show about jws and the personal experiences of being disfellowshiped, and a former elder called in saying he was disfellowshiped for asking about jws and their involvement in the un in the 1990s ,and he just said look it up.. thinking that it was a made up lie ,so i looked it up and it was true even a letter confirming it from the un itself and that led me here and to jwfacts and further research into the history and teachings of jw and walked out the door about 5 years ago.

  There’d been a steadily growing pile of things that didn’t add up (or I realized were simply wrong), I’d been inactive for about a year for unrelated reasons, I already knew that if you kept something private, the elders would not somehow know what you’d been up to, and the fear of hearing what XJWs had to say had somewhat diminished by then.

  I basically came here for confirmation of my suspicions.
