the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.
11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?
Eventually is gonna be nu-lite, birthdays could be celebrated in a sober way, Christmas too...a good opportunity to preach.
We all know that people run for the hills when they are told, no Christmas or birthdays celebrations...but, don't give them ideas

2 - "however, a question may arise: 🤣 what will happen to christ’s “other sheep” who will be serving jehovah faithfully on earth during the “great tribulation”?

Another was the use of the cross and a crown in their publications. They're gonna go back to it, eventually.
More mainstream is the motto this days.

Why not Christmas....?
Just read like Luke 2:10 , 2:14 , angels were rejoicing and praising because of Jesus was born, what could be a great opportunity to proclame the good news that celebrate it ?
Besides they we're celebrating Christmas when started...you know Russell times...
that's gonna be the confirmation about no counting time for publishers, nothing still in their site.

as you know (and are probably tired of hearing me repeat), i’m jewish.
yes, i was a jehovah’s witness when i was a teenager and into my 20s, but returned to my roots and now celebrate chanukah when the holiday season comes around each year.. so why am i writing about christmas?
well, that’s because i thought i would share something about how jehovah’s witnesses teach against christmas.
They celebrated Christmas one time and they are gonna do it again....however no tree and no Santa, it's gonna be promoted as a good opportunity to do a little preaching...also they are gonna be changing to the using of the cross, discreetly ...just give time...more mainstream is the future.
After the last changes, anything could happen, just saying.
1. doctrinal changes how new light comes about.
the gb raise questions then talk about it, unless it’s unanimous they wait, then years later talk again if it’s unanimous it then gets announced as new light.. 2. the gb are imperfect and sometimes make mistakes.
they are not to apologise or even admit they were wrong.
Nothing would surprise me anymore....by the way let's spin Christmas as a celebration of our Lord and redemptor, and of course the Bible really hasn't a prohibition about birthdays....now that preaching could be just in pectore...
Christmas and birthdays are the two things that make people recoil....just saying
with the change to reporting field service and now allowing people to repent during the gt, presumably up until armageddon, i'm assuming that the "hailstones" message is now permanently on hold.
can someone explain this to me; am i understanding this right?.
I know,I know, but the first post just asks if the JW hailstone message it's on, well it's on.

Hailstone message you say? It's pretty much on, just watch the short video on the December broadcast on their official website...
terrible gaza situation, i think the solution, expensive and hard, is to take all the gaza population out, good people could be supported and go to lebanon, for example.
otherwise is gonna be a humanitarian catastrophe.
i know, it could take time, but then the people responsible for the terror could be brought to justice..

this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

So this was the change that was presented as 'even of we don't understand for the moment' they were preparing the RF in the last months.
I'll bet next is gonna be 'the hours for missionaries and pioneers would be a personal commitment made with a clear conscience' .
