Ohhh... it's an easy thing... everything about Armageddon is symbolic and the 1,000 reign already started .... the spiritual paradise is the proof...and if you guys want to be sure check one thousand years in the future !!!

Theory on the GB "new light" pushing back the final judgment.
by Jofi_Wofo ini know there are several threads already on this "new light", but i didn't see one that covered this particular angle.. since the gb seem to have an ulterior motive for everything they do, well beyond their publicly stated reasons, i began to wonder why they would be concerned with pushing back the closing of the window of jesus' judgement.
this is especially puzzling because the doctrine of the start of great tribulation being the final cutoff was one that the gb seemed to especially revel in for so long.
they could hang it over everyone's heads as a looming threat.

Nobody else understands
by ElderBerry inif you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.
i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.
now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

Jesus was preaching all the time, you were sincerely trying to follow Jesus path eventually you're gonna find a fellowship that suits you.

The ''dreaded'' birthday cake
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe 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

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...

Why Jehovah's Witnesses are WRONG about Christmas
by David_Jay inas 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.

List of main points from 2023 AGM
by ExBethelitenowPIMA in1. 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
