It takes a bitch-slap from “Satan’s World” to help ‘em realize “God’s Way” has changed up?
🤔
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.
summary: .
It takes a bitch-slap from “Satan’s World” to help ‘em realize “God’s Way” has changed up?

let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.
if they are going more mainstream.
i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.
LongHairGal - “…They are probably propping up the religion…”
With what? Pensions and duct tape?
Trust me, most senior citizens are barely scraping by…
…propping up a floundering church ain’t high on their to-do list.
Diogenesister - “…lumberjacks, cowboys, sailors, mechanics…”
“🎶 Whyyyyyyy-em-see-ay…🎶”
😏
now that some reasonably big changes have occurred in a short time frame, whats next?
will the gb let the dust settle for a bit, or will they keep dropping bombs this year?.
I would prefer “we will no longer make you feel like hammered shit just for being yourselves”.
i am thinking that the "ten year plan" that some have spoken of is the most likely scenario.
the org.
has to both attract new members and retain as many existing ones as possible.. so i think they will let the recent changes "bed in" for a while, maybe a year ?
TonusOH - “With enough of these types of changes, the incentive to leave may also be gone…”
Fair point.
How many would truly want to stay if they didn’t have to, though?
’Specially if the premise of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” - the main reason they’re compelled to stay - has become so undermined by mainstream reforms that it’s virtually nonexistent.
I’m all for tats, and I love the inked-up ladies.
My missus has some gorgeous ones.

By all means, keep the hits a-comin’… 😏

St. George - “…I thought that was David Splane. We haven't seen much of him of late.”
Sometimes I think the GB has to draw straws when it comes to presenting the more dodgy stuff to the rank-and-file…
…then I remember Stephen Lett, and realize some of ‘em actually get stoked about it.

Thing is, you can do that anywhere.
You don’t have to stay affiliated with an organization that demanded fealty your whole life whilst being unworthy of it.
