i’ve not been paying close attention to watchtower developments, but talking to a jw yesterday it occurred to me the society (yes, still use that term - old school) have been sending out mixed messages in recent years.
from what i gather, a few years ago the gb announced that during the great tribulation jws would be required to preach a “hailstone message of judgement” which involved telling people it was too late for them to repent and they were definitely going to be destroyed.
there were hints that this could be very soon, “any day now” preaching could stop and the hailstone message come in, kind of thing.
Well, there are two things that you guys are missing, the article says that just very few wicked people isn't gonna be resurrected, like Judas Iscariot and not surprising 'unrepentant apostates' , that leaves the door open for almost everybody.
I find interesting the picture in the article about a woman watching on TV the attack on religion.... clearly they are betting on really massive repentance.
Anyway, there are a lots of , as they say 'we don't know'.

Maybe the hailstorm message was Tony's idea....anyway they could opten for a 'light hailstorm message ' and declare it over....nothing surprise me anymore en the JW land.
(revelation 17:5) “babylon the great, the mother of the prostitutes (plural!
) and of the disgusting things of the earth.”.
btg is spotlighted as being the principal "disgusting thing" which affects christians & christianity, with other lesser "prostitutes" in the background... (revelation 18:4) “get out of her, my people, (christians) if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues.".
Ohhh,...some unbalanced Borg member use to say "if it's not the religion, it's Wall Street and the financial system".
Like somebody said , they could change the 'interpretation' any time, no excuses.
dominic enyart exposes watchtower deception regarding their demonization of the cross.
information packed.
interesting take on paganism as well.
I'll bet this new GB in process gonna go back to the cross (remember the crown and the cross, many years ago?), they have support in the Bible where it says something like "take your cross and follow me constantly".
It's not like they gonna be worshipping the cross or with images of the Egyptian cross ansata...
Remember, mainstream is the motto now
to all those on this forum, i would love to know what your take on this vital question is..
I remember the book of Job, how it was allowed to suffer, and how Lucifer? , was in talking terms with God ...
You guys should remember the war in heavens in the book of Revelation, too. Imagine if the dark side have won..
So... I'm giving up, they are created 'good' and anyway they like the dark side.
One last question, if they are good to indulge in the dark side, because of the 'free will' ...why they aren't allowed to repent?

Well guys, take it to the next level then, why the angels, and of course the Devil, being made perfect, choose wickedness....?
I know, they say because of the their will, but my question is, if you're absolutely perfect and absolutely in the good side, not even ever are you gonna be tempted about going to the dark side.

I've always thought, if you're created perfect (like Adam & Eve), how you could ever possibly choose wickedness?
so, first the turning in time got axed, now beards are okay, what is up next?
women wearing dress slacks to the meeting?
birthdays becoming acceptable?
That's an easy one....as GB helpers...there are gonna be 'Elder and Ministerial helpers', as it is right now they're leaving almost the half of the RF aside.
Women have a lot of energy and commitment, and could give the Borg a most necessary boost. However, don't give them ideas....
i was watching a video about wt and money and the "brother" refers to the "spirit directed organization.
" he also says they use donations wisely and modestly.
are the gb so deluded and therefore their followers?
Each religion is "guided by the spirit" , otherwise, how the could say 'we're the truth'....
beans ?
( human beans ).
to those of you that believe in god: do you all believe the same thing ?.
Yeah, yeah... the Universe is like, 5 % matter (the thing that we know), 26.8 dark matter and 68.2 something called dark energy...(the two things that we don't know. And remember, the observable Universe is big almost beyond comprehension....
So, what about God eat?. We used to have similar discussions in the Middle Ages...what about this "how many angels dance in the head of a pin?".
