  what could be "an instruction not sound by a human standpoint"?.

  i'm going by dissolving their legal entities...any guesses?.

  The “follow instructions even if they don’t make sense” thing arguably primes the rank-and-file for pretty much anything, no matter what…

  …including doubling-down or mainstream reform.

  Hypothetical scenario…
  

  …the WTS loses its tax-exemption over child abuse scandals and human rights abuses in too many countries to stay afloat and they’re not able to get their little real estate empire up and running in time…

  …so the GB tells the rank-and-file that “it’s time” to hunker down in their bunkers basements and await further instructions…

  …while they and a select few bugger off to the Caymans where they have nest eggs stashed, and let the rank-and-file think they’ve been raptured taken away to heaven to kick off the Great Tribulation.

  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  Canada exploring changes to tax rules that exempt religious organizations

  by Scully in

  https://www.christianpost.com/news/evangelicals-oppose-removal-of-tax-status-in-canadian-proposal.html.

  the proposed change will revoke charitable status of canadian churches who have an anti-abortion position, and will not give tax exemptions to organizations whose sole claim is to promote religion, which is the basic claim for all jw related entities in canada.

  this will be interesting!.

  Re. the impending election…

  …it occurred to me that if Poilievre and the Conservatives decided to back this, they’d almost certainly win over a LOT of Canadian XJWs.

  It may not be an overly large voting bloc, but still…

  it began during the last annual meeting of 2014 and now is trikling down to their watchtower magazines, this new "live and let live" attitude towards people of other faiths, or as they were known as babylon the great soon to be dead in the hands of god members.but it is a new different story, so let's read paragraph 15 from study article 15:.

  "jehovah is kind to both the righteous and the unrighteous.

  That’s OK.

  I often overestimate my ability to convince.

  raymond frantz - “…the Watchtower is once again proving itself to be a master of adaptation…”

  No offense, Ray, but I wouldn’t call them that.

  If they really were “masters of adaptation”, this would’ve already happened, and we wouldn’t have even noticed until afterward.

  One by one, they’re quietly neutering every little thing they used to hold up as hard proof they alone had “The Truth”.

  Thing is, once those are all gone, where’s the incentive to stay?

  2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change

  by Listener in

  2. beliefs

  a change to their doctrine came from jackson.

  this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.

  but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.

  NotFormer - “…Perhaps even they got sick of date setting.”

  Historically, apocalyptic groups have needded to occasionally date-set to stir up membership zeal.

  The Org has such a poor track record, however, that the tactic is long past it’s sell-by date.
