  What exactly IS 1914 these days?

  by Halcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's no longer a year tying to the present (the old pre-1995 generation belief).

  realistically, that's the only reason why it mattered.

  and if it doesn't really matter what it is anymore, why would jw not do away with it?.

  No they haven’t yet had new light on 1914.

  They still believe Jesus was invisibly enthroned as king in 1914. He has been ruling as king for 110 years now according to official JW doctrine. It all comes from a butchering of Millers ravings of a madman the 77 week prophecy from 607bce which is now known to be wrong.

  Everything stems from 1914, they say God chose those men to be his spokesmen on earth 3.5 years later but they say 1919 so the maths don’t add up.

  They haven’t ever said new light in these things and they still teach them at the big schools like gilead and SKE.

  Its going to be difficult for them but it’s also going to be unavoidable to admit they were wrong all these years.

  maybe the current elderly GB hope they won’t have to deal with it in their lifetimes.

  this may be why one of the two new younger members admitted that he didn’t want to be GB when they first asked him but then he later relented and said yes.

  he knew he would have to be in the GB in his lifetime they will have to deal with the 1914 problems and not have millions of JWs realise it’s just a man made organisation

  Is there really a Bible rule against sex without marriage?

  by Halcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  regarding the poster from jw headquarters, who claimed that the gb would eventually loosen the rules regarding sex.

  the question is, is there really a bible rule explicitly prohibiting sex without marriage?

  because this would be the only possible reason why loosening those rules would even come up in a discussion.

  Lloyd Evens thinks being brought up JW was what made him such a messed up Pervert now. He thinks he’s been sexually repressed

  After governing body update number two, there seems to be a huge change. Now it seems teenagers and perhaps those in their 20s can get away with having sex and not get DFed.

  If this is true, and we are yet to see this play out, then no more people like Lloyd saying the JWs made them sexually repressed.

  All the change means is that if young ones are having sex then Elders will not need to speak to them if the parents or guardians say they have the matter in hand. But if the youths are still having lots of sex the elders have to go and have a chat to them. This is the direction now I’m not making this up.

  if the young ones still keep having sex then they will have a 90 day sanction and the elders will chase them to come back after 90dsys but why would they want to? They can still talk to family and friends and shunning has been softened up.

  Which is better the old way of no sex before marriage at all? Or the modern way where hardly anyone is still a virgin on their wedding day?

  The Memorial and my thoughts.

  by Truth and Justice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no matter what opinions you may have, the memorial is very important to us.

  many are opposed to the way the organization performs the memorial because of restrictive rules as to who should partake.

  as jesus said in scripture, "keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

  Things were very different this year. Many DFed ones came back for the first time..

  So many got a call from someone they hadn’t spoke to for years even decades and the thought of actually seeing them again and being able to speak even just a little was enough for so many to decide to come to the memorials,

  next step is love bombed and being pressured to have new Bible study and get reinstated

  it will be a very interesting time over the next year or years as all these DFed ones who agree to a Bstudy will have had their eyes opened. Not like studying with a new convert.

  They will be slowly asking the hard questions to the poor publishers who take the studies!

  it’s something new never happened before in the history of the organisation. No need to reach the point of baptism as these former DFed ones already got Baptised a long time time ago.

  there were so many new ones at different memorials yesterday, how many will decide to get reinstated as PIMOs just for the social aspect with family and friends?

  Blue Ocean

  by Freeorange in

  1. watchtower

  there’s a term in the corporate / business world known as blue ocean strategy.

  the basic gist of it is to stop wasting time in your small, dwindling pool of current customers when there’s a wide open ocean of untapped customers out there.

  to achieve this leap is to adapt or transition to a more appealing package of your current business model to attract the masses.

  Tunnels having been now proven under the playboy mansion and Disneyland have been linked to Jeff Epstein type child trafficking. Also the Whitehouse has similar accusations but not as much evidence as the others.

  is this what is being insinuated for WT? I highly doubt it could be true but yes looking at who bought it maybe the tunnels would be used for that in the future

  Didn't he also get pissed when he found out they were all sharing one copy of the book rather than paying for their own individual copies, or something like that? If I'm not mistaken, he not only didn't pay them but expected them to buy a book that they would translate for free.

  Why does this sound familiar?

  I met a lovely young woman at a recent Bethel tour in Chelmsford. She drives in 2 days per week at her own expense to work in translation department.

  I asked can’t you work from home? She said yes easier but they want us to come in to work,

  all for free

  Jordan Maxwell where he describes Fred Franz being guarded by a smoking Zionist man at the assembly I highly recommend it.

  I would like to hear more about this?

  I find it hard to believe myself but can anyone elaborate? If this can be true then the rest of the hard to believe parts can more easily be believed?

  the secret tunnels for example? Do they have secret tunnels in the new Bethel’s? Or just secret bunkers?

  Yes a seismic change. For so long now there was a fear of being DF’ed, and this is ingrained so deep I suspect not many will realise that such a change has taken place.

  You family will not shun you for the 90days anymore they can talk to you during that 90days even if officially only at the meetings but we all know everyone will go further.

  The fat charlatans of the GB are so low IQ they really should get advice from someone smarter before coming up with new direction 👏

  The changes are so profound that hardly anyone will ever be DFed and shunned for more than 90days ever again.

  90 days isn’t too much of a threat now
