so just what is the latest directive on shunning?.
asking for a family member.
However, he, an elder of 40+ years, says that the organization considers someone apostate if they’re an opposer, not just someone that no longer believes.
If that's an "official" adjustment, that is pretty significant. Sounds like it could just be HIS spin on it all. I think there are lots of JWs, including many elders like him, who are far more liberal in their thinking than are the GB/Leaders.
interesting video connects the dots.

The Tony Morris situation is much like Where's Waldo.
march 3-9 theocratic school material is something else.. i fully get that there are 2 major sides of thinking regarding that topic.
but really from their own lying mouths it was a personal decision that should have been respected.
this was not reality.
They are really dumb enough to "pick a scab" that will surely cause themselves more bleeding (hemorrhaging perhaps).

i am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.
i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.
how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!
And the left would have us all believe these illegals/migrants streaming in are all here to pick produce or work in construction jobs! - Long Hair Gal
Exactly!
If they had jobs and were supporting themselves &/or their families, they shouldn't be needing housing vouchers, visa cards (NYC), food stamps, Medicaid, free cell phones, etc. Yes, they are here to secure a "better life" but the fact is, they do that by sponging off of our welfare system. We already have plenty of US citizens that do that and government has been unable to figure out how to get those folks off of their ass and go to work.
in the past, we used to hear talks on:.
avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.
why evolution cannot possibly be true.
Vidiot: I know of no reversal on that policy. But admittedly I gave up the elder title 20+ years ago so have not been privy to the "secret files" ie, CO verbal instructions to write notes in your Elders' Book.
I'd like to see what evidence you have for your statement, but I'm confident even WT would not be so stupid as to put anything like that into written instructions/policy.
In my experience before our total fade, WT was taking any kind of sexual abuse VERY seriously. Anything remotely questionable (like teens passing/texting explicit photos to one another) required consultation with WT Legal. And regardless what anyone thinks, dumbass horny teenagers will do dumb shit like this. It's hormones folks.

The idea that we are going to kick out 10 million people working the worst jobs in the country is kind of silly.
How is it that they are working? Isn't it illegal to hire illegal aliens?
How about if we kick out 10 million (likely closer to double that) criminals (entering illegally is a CRIME) and allow some back via legal immigration measures after we do things like "vet" them to know they are the kind of people we WANT here?
If we allow anyone to remain in the US that entered illegally, then they should be permanently banned from ever being granted citizenship (who wants criminals as citizens?) and they should not be eligible for any government assistance benefits (as this reduces what is available for citizens and legal non-citizen residents. Not to mention it comes from the taxes paid by working US citizens.)
the war in ukraine has now escalated.
europe is now talking of getting involved in the war to curb the north korean armies that are helping russia.
putin has warned that this will now give him no choice but to retaliate against nato nations.. the biden administration and the democrats in congress want to make sure that the war escalates to such a point that trump won't be able to bring peace to the war in ukraine.
They are appalled at the endless supply of cash flowing into Ukraine from NATO and the USA.
So am I. And so are, I believe, 71 million voters.
I don't know if it's actually CA$H or if it's really weapons. The Military Industrial Complex is who is really promoting this was (and every conflict for the past 25+ years).

What is soft porn and what does the Jehovah Witness religion say regarding why they are allowing it?
Plain ole dull straight porn - boy & girl. Think 1960's Playboy. (Probably requires pubic hair. Shaved is likely considered kinky & illicit.) [For the slow learners-- this is not really WT policy. It's satire or hyperbole. Please don't reply with quotes from the "Shepherd the Flock" book.]
They are not "allowing" it. They just realized finally that they cannot stop it. Boys will be boys. While it used to mean removal of any/all privileges, they had to adjust that policy or there would be no elders/MS still serving and definitely no young guys available for Bethel service.
realistically, between now and 2034, what do you think watchtower will change or reform to appear more mainstream?
what business opportunities do you see watchtower getting involved in?.
my predictions are as follows: .
my Bible Study Conductor believes that the end will be in less than 20 years.
A JW elder just told me that "they" (insider info) expect the call for Peace & Security within the next 24 months.............and then The End™ will come. . . . soon. . . . very, very soon. (OK. I added the "soon" part.)
It's right around the corner!
