  New light on shunning?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.

  he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .

  what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

  There is so much confusion over so many changes.

  It will end up that everyone will just talk to DF’ed ones and they will resume family relationships without feeling they need to come back.

  this will backfire on the GB and what will happen is JWs talking to DF’ed family members will have to answer questions about why the Shunning direction has been wrong for all these many decades?

  The JWs are slowly realising that it’s a man made organisation

  instead of DF’ed one’s coming back more JWs will leave

  Minor Accused of Wrongdoing who doesn't have JW Parents

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from the update*: "8. when a baptised minor becomes involved in serious wrongdoing, two elders (not a committee) will meet with him along with his christian parent(s) or legal guardian(s)".. "christian" is wt code for jw, i'm guessing, and it's worded this way to sound more ambiguous for the sake of the norwegian and other governments.

  so what happens to a minor who doesn't have jw parents?

  a young convert (not likely in this day and age, but not impossible) or a born in who was orphaned and adopted by non-jw relatives?

  How would you ever get a minor become a JW if he/she had no relatives in the faith? It just would not happen. It could have been some others in the faith who brought them in? Then these would be the spiritual guardians

  Unless they all left and the minor didn’t.

  As unimaginable as dropping the blood ban seems, just look at the changes of recent times.

  I do predict more massive changes to come.

  they are in full on panic mode and even the die hard believers are asking what the hell is going on?

  I love it.

  there will be many more now JWlite who will come to meetings after work or whatever in their casual clothes just for a chat

  they will obviously not be believers just coming for the social club

  Can you image elders coming to meetings and on the ministry wearing cargo trousers and a smart casual jumper or sweatshirt?

  This is so exciting. There is a feeling of more than just change.

  The tower is falling at such a rate, this is clear.

  You will now see bearded elders wearing no suit not even a tie at meetings. This would have been absolutely unbelievable until very recently shocking even

  so what is appropriate now we don’t have to wear a tie?

  I imagine just a smart shirt and smart casual trousers.

  Explain the Anthony Morris thing to me

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  ok, so can someone explain with relative brevity what the anthony morris thing is all about.

  i certainly don't miss the guy but would like as valid of an explanation as possible without a bunch of paranoid conspiracies that no one can verify.

  as best as i can tell from cryptic comments on here is he is no longer on the gb but in a congregation in the carolinas somewhere.

  In a nutshell we don’t know the reasons why but he has been kicked out and a brief announcement that was hard to find on the website

  they are slowly deleting a lot of his content but there is so much over the decades

  the Borg bought him a couple of houses and he is obviously being paid to sign a non disclosure but that is only speculation

  predict birthdays, mother's Day and Father's Day will be next. The blood thing is tricky bc there is explicit rules on it in the scriptures.

  Really, anything that isn't explicit in the scriptures is now up for the guillotine.

  Don’t be so sure about the blood thing, they are so desperate at the moment.

  YES THEY ARE IN PANIC MODE!
