DesirousOfChange - “I think he looks a hell of a lot better with the beard.”
Agreed, surprisingly.
A lucky break if he drew the short straw.
Maybe that’s the reason for the switch-up…
…these guys finally figured out they needed to look halfway decent on JWTV.
😏

Ding - “…Sometimes think the GB and WT writers don't bother to check what the WT has said before, probably because they know the vast majority of JWs will simply believe the latest ‘light’ and forget they ever said anything different…”
A simpler explanation is that, after a fucking century of consistently inconsistent Old Light, they don’t have the time or manpower to properly wade through and vet the material.
omg!.
have you seen the latest wt society's way of engaging with their audience?
cartoon bible stories.
Reminds me of one of Peter Dinklage’s lines in the Disney adaptation of Prince Caspian…
”…get treated like a dumb animal long enough, that's what you become…”
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Regardless, the time counting and beard things are absolutely red herrings.
It just makes too much sense…
…it’s all the rank-and-file seems to be talking about, whilst the full implications of JWLite have swished right over their heads.

One theory I’ve heard for Stalining him out of existence is to subtly indicate that he’s no longer viewed as an acceptable teaching example.
Ten bucks says Stephen “that little baby is an enemy of God” Lett is the next one to be shown the door and have his videos replaced or discontinued.
the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.
.
so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.
I lie all the time.
In fact, I’m lying right now.
so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.
old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.
the “door of the ark” is closed.
Rattigan350 - “…What they teach now at the AGM is the way it has always been…”
No, it’s not.
Rattigan350 - “…think that I'm going to be telling people that I don't care if I make it through armageddon and I don't want to live in the kingdom.”
Not a WT-run kingdom, anyway.
from jw org; 2023 - a year of anxiety:.
“since the beginning of 2023, there have now been 13 earthquakes above magnitude 7 worldwide, one of the highest values since records began.”.
www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk cites 3 reasons it may seem that earthquakes are increasing in intensity and number.. 1. more population growth = more people affected.. 2. clustered statistics.
C’mon guys, get with the program…
…everything proves it’s the Last Days.
Even the stuff that doesn’t.
this topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.
many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.
in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".
Not to mention that that the Org’s business model is (tax-exemption notwithstanding) arguably based on an American capitalist template…
… i.e. it requires constant real growth to remain sustainable.
And I’ve said many times that constant reductions in staff and product output, liquidation of assets, legal troubles, and dwindling sources of income are not typically considered signs of robust corporate financial health.
