Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? The recent changes and the Governing Body's 10 year plan
by redsetter2 ini 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.

Changed behavior of the governing body on the topic of “vaccinations” in the Covid era
by Pedro ini'm looking for an explanation why the gb has made a radical change on the issue of vaccinations.
was there pressure from outside?
were there any financial or other benefits to promoting experimental genetic therapy?.

i thought it odd that NYC had a presser in which they specifically called out JWs for having 98% vaccine compliance.
Why would they have this information? Who reported it to them, and why?

5% pioneer increase = 300 million fewer hours spent in the ministry, thanks to the hour reduction.
95% more Aux = hour reduction makes it easier to participate. 2 CO visits & 2 Campaign / year means a single person can be counted 4 times for little more than an average 10-hr publisher
Bible studies up - 7 million, still well below their peak of 10 million
Baptisms up - still 100k below their peak in the late 90s

Do you play the LOTTERY?
by Fisherman injw view gambling as a sin and sadly people get addicted to gambling causing them financial and health problems.
but is playing a couple of bucks a week on some lottery tickets actually gambling?
what do you have to lose?

ks91 originally included language to the effect of "Christians do not play the lottery"
new Shepherd book says elders don't get involved in "petty gambling" and has removed any reference to the lottery.
a $1 or $2 ticket is certainly petty. It would seem that lottery is not an excluded item but is certainly one that will still get you side eyed looks

Sagely advice of a CO
by Vidqun in“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.
he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.
he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….

What solutions did he offer for being tired and depressed?
Let me guess; Prayer, bible reading, meetings and field service.

Are Elders prepared to take the fall for WT/GB misdemeanor's / crime ??
by smiddy3 ini have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.

its a Records Retention Policy. Every corporation has one.
In the real world, if you delete or destroy documents relating to a crime, it is a crime.
I dont think this is true, unless you've been charged with a crime.

How many still getting boosters?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA ineither you think the governing body was correct giving direction to be fully vaccinated and do you will keep getting the boosters, or.... if you don’t think the boosters are safe and you decide not to keep getting them then you are admitting that the direction was wrong.. if the direction was indeed harming brothers and sister who kept going to get these injections because of the covid updates then this is a huge wake up call?.
how could this direction from the gb who are i doubt jehovah give such harmful direction?.

It is completely illogical that god directed the GB to "encourage" everyone to take the vaccine as his direction.
It would have been far easier for god, and more within his purview, to notice the virus, "zap it", modifying its protein string, to make it less deadly on a quicker than normal mutation path. Why wait a year for man to develop a vaccine. Then have your TV division make a series of videos. Then coerce the congregation to take a vaccine which conservatively includes "risks"

Basic Blood Questions For Witnesses

where does the bible outlaw blood transfusions?

No Bible authorized use for blood
Now we are looking for a statement of positive affirmation? Is there such for lawful sex, alcohol? (I will concede there is indeed for incense). Or are these things simply acknowledge as human things?
