i am sure we were all shocked at the governing body update #2 with the unusual and impulsive changes set forth.. i am an insider at whq, and when i was on reddit and in communication with avoidjw i explained to the best of my ability that the approach on disfellowshipping was going to change based on the new light at the 2023 agm, that the jubilee rumor was false, and there were going to be changes on how jws approached disfellowshipping in response to the norway situation if it didn't turn out in watchtower's favor.
the decision came because of a legal blow to watchtower, not because "holy spirit" wad directing a faithful slave, who is going to become the "evil slave", more explanation on this soon.. everything i stated came true.
i left reddit exjw community due to the immature and mentally unstable nature there, and yet as has been the case my words came true.
jehovaxx - “…Those physically out are wishing they were back in to be a part of it all…”
No, we’re not.
Rattigan350 - “…The problem is that they painted themselves into a corner to where they can't change that without backlash.”
Agreed.
You're making sense, now.
The high wear off?

i know they're panicking and trying to gain favor with governments, former members, prospective converts & those who are teetering, all for financial worries.
still, the latest update in some ways made things worse, and if there's any jws watching it who are beginning to wake up it should be very disturbing.. starting with dress codes: they say that suits, ties & skirts are no longer required, but in so doing they admit that they were required, something not often appearing as an explicit command in print.
(similar to how lett referred to the "policy on beards" in his video, even though this direct policy wasn't made available to rank and file.
@ WTWizard…
OR…
…all the stiff, uptight, judgemental-types…
…i.e. the hounders…
…will finally have to shut the fuck up.
IMO, that fact alone might be worth the price of admission.

jw's can now talk to disfellowshipped friends & relatives, in order to encourage them back to the k.h.
and to welcome any d/f'd ones who turn up at the k.h.. https://www.jw.borg/download/?docid=1112024005&langwritten=asl.

@ Vanderhoven7…
Legal reasons… financial reasons… and membership retention.
The guy summed it up really well, and his logic was spot-on.
now they suddenly examine the context of these scriptures and have come to the conclusion that it only applies to apostates and those who continue in serious sin???????.
there are families torn apart by their shunning policies and some have said the gb are wrong and these scriptures only apply to those carrying on in serious sin?
but no for the last several decades families have been ripped apart for lifelong shunning just because some don’t want to be jws anymore.. the lawsuits that are to come will not make up for life long relationships being ruined.
Insolvency might.
you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!
the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

What JeffT and ozziepost said.
Authentic mainstream reform would - for all intents and purposes - take everything about JWs that they held up as proof they alone have “The Truth”, and flush it down the toilet…
…up to and including the all-important claim of being “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”.
They’d be just another denomination with an embarrassing past… no different from all the other churches they spent decades condemning as “false religion”.
Except for the lifelong institutionalized, there’d be no real incentive left to even be a Jehovah’s Witness.

redsetter2 - “I'm sorry I joined late. It's been very busy here, but I can assure you that those at Bethel are just as stunned as congregation members, however we have many young ones eagerly lapping up these impulsive changes. I will detail an update in my next post.”
All good, Red… nice to see you again.
I thought you might turn up.

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".
Hmm.
On second thought…
“Actually, Chemosh, you go can find something else to do. I’ll handle these two myself...”
