27June 2024 WT: Don't talk about Anthony Morris
by neat blue dog inthe latest study edition mentions hypothetical scenarios of jws who are no longer serving at bethel or no longer elders, etc.
and says we shouldn't speculate, as defaming them could border on slander.. we could unintentionally defame someone by spreading negative information.
..... would it be proper to speculate on the reasons why these adjustments were made and to share that opinion with others?.

re. careful’s post on the previous page…
I know, right? It’s like the Watchtower Governing Body are the collective poster boy for the Law of Unintended Consequences.

New light isn't that new outside the USA?
by KerryKing inall this recent new light etc has everyone talking but none of it is that unusual here in ireland.
i've been df'd for 15 years, my parents started talking to me again when i had my first child nearly 13 years ago now.
last year my sister in law started talking to me again also, at the one meeting i attended last year quite a few people chatted to me and said hello.. i'm just wondering if all this is only a big deal in the usa or is this neck of the woods just particularly rebellious anyway?

Beards were fine in a bunch of European countries, too. No one ever really gave me shit for growing out my facial hair here in Canada, either.
Sometimes I think the problems start in the US partially due to typical American dialed-up-to-eleven all-or-nothing go-big-or-go-home culture.
I could be wrong.

Is this true?
by BoogerMan in"the watch tower society does not file any publicly accessible financial figures.".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/watch_tower_bible_and_tract_society_of_pennsylvania.
if so, are american charities totally free from scrutiny by the authorities & donors?.

So basically, the federal government trusted churches to behave and not abuse their tax-free status…
…until they didn’t.

Yup.
They’re neutering everything they held up as proof they had The Truth.

A Positive Approach to discussing the changes - Gov Body Update Aftermath
by Jehalapeno inso, just got off a very emotional, but positive call with my father.. this past weekend, he wanted to give me a call, but i was out of town at a wedding, so he said he'd call me later in the week.. he texted me the governing body update video with the recent changes and said, "i thought you might be interested in some of the changes that were just announced.".
i'm tired of self-censorship, so i decided to reply as truthfully and respectfully as i could.. my reply to him:.
it's interesting.

“You were the bigger man and arguably showed more compassion than he did… Respect.”
Not to mention that he demonstrated humility in his admission that you were right, didn’t resent it, and trusted you not to rub his nose in it.
Respect to him, too.

New light on shunning?
by Mikejw inone theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.
he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .
what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

I agree.
He’ll be receiving a “satisfactory”, and move on to the next point of counsel.

I gotta say…
…as retroactive justifications go, the beards-and-slacks disguise idea is pretty creative.
Of course, we all know what tends to happen to deep-cover operatives when they’ve been imbedded too long.

JW GoneBad - “…Who is it that has the WTBTS & the Governing Body under subjugation?”
If they lose they’re tax-exemption they’re pretty much done, so…
…federal revenue agencies, I guess.
