  become a jw only if you can't cope with the real world.

  i believe i picked this up here but can't find the thread.

  i think it worth a repost.. “top ten reasons jehovah's witnesses can't cope with the real world.

  Tell that to the child abuse victims, the disfellowshipped suicides, the loyalists who bled to death, and all their families.

  GB Doesn’t Believe in 1914 Anymore – My reasoning

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard a lot of talk over the last year or so if the gb will eventually ditch 1914 and some have even made the claim that most, if not all of the gb do not believe in 1914. ive given this some thought and in the past i wasnt sure.

  this annual meeting puts 100%, without a doubt in my mind that the gb do not believe in 1914. id even go as far to say that they talked about that date and have a game plan in mind.. here is why i feel this way:.

  there were a lot of changes with the parables at this annual meeting.

  thedepressedsoul - “…I honestly believe that they know 1914 is not real…”

  ’Course they do.

  But they’re the WT leadership.

  They know it’s wrong…

  …but believe it’s true…

  …at the same time.

  “…Don't trust yourself to know anything…”

  I couldn’t do it…

  …the feeling of being intellectually hamstrung was depressing AF.

  I was able to have fewer and fewer in-depth conversations about anything interesting.

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  NotFormer - “…if he does attend a Kingdom Hall physically, I imagine there're some ‘security’ arrangements in place…”

  * gasp*

  That’s the reason they changed up the beard ban…

  …so that Top-Shelf could go to the meetings incognito!

  Maybe the beard-reversal thing is to test the rank-and-file waters to see if dumping some of the bigger, more problematic things is feasable.

  AndersonsInfo - “…WTC files for bankruptcy…”

  Personally, I suspect that if/when they did that, the act would undermine the claim of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” so much, they’d never recover.

  what is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.

  hoser - “…they will have to come up with a long term plan which they don’t seem able to do…”

  Long-term planing is impossible when the End of the World is perpetually imminent.

  I think out of all the GB members so far, XJWs have given Anthony Morris III the most nicknames…

  …”Anthony Morris the Turd”… “Spanky McTightypants“… “Top-Shelf Tony” (my favourite)…

  …and now “Tony Two-House”.

  😁

  Makes him sound like some old, washed-up wiseguy…

  …which, when you think about it, ain’t far off.
