uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Wouldn’t it be great if he said ok I had to go and get a job to support my pioneering ops I meant activism work.
I mean really what does he do all day? How much time does it take to put together one of his usual low quality videos that are becoming so infrequent lately?
in the past, we used to hear talks on:.
avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.
why evolution cannot possibly be true.
They have certainly lowered their standards, and particularly on some sexual matters.
Soft porn (aka non-abhorrent) is OK (wink wink) vs objectionable abhorrent porn (with greed).
Oral &/or anal sex (within marriage) are a personal matter (don't force her), vs in the past they were brazen perversions and abhorrent for a Christian.
Masturbation -- do they even address it anymore. How dumb was that policy? Statistics indicate 95% of single men admit to masturbating regularly while 5% of single men are known liars. (IDK, seems more popular with you gals too these days.)
Their position on gambling has been watered down through the years, too. Now, innocent "penny gambling" like a poker game or an occasional Lotto ticket is OK. I guess even dropping a few bucks playing slots on the Riverboat is "don't ask, don't tell". Just don't get "greedy" about it. That would be objectionable.
Absolutely right. If a baptised person does anything they consider serious sin, nowadays all they need to do is say they are sorry and nothing will happen. What a change this is compared to before. Nowadays the elders beg the publisher to not leave where in the past publishers had to beg the elders to let them stay.
I have even noticed a change with entertainment these days. We could not admit to watching or playing an 18 certificate film or game years ago. Nowadays there is no more pushing the idea that we should get up and walk out of the cinema
definitely relaxing policy on everything
is it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.
when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .
Yes Covid changed everything. Zoom meetings and ministry are too easy and comfortable.
All you have to do is go to a couple of in person meetings and ministry groups every now and then if you feel like it. Never do more than tens mins door knocking if any at all

It’s about once per year now he does another begging video. Why doesn’t every other YT apostate need to do them but he does?

If you did a survey now how many JWs still do door knocking at all and of those who still do, who does more than ten mins before coffee break, I think it would be less than 10%.

He's a grifter. He is finished. Just needs to realise it and fuck off and get a real job.
He will only be able to get toilet cleaner or old people carer jobs like any immigrant who can’t speak the language of the country
realistically, between now and 2034, what do you think watchtower will change or reform to appear more mainstream?
what business opportunities do you see watchtower getting involved in?.
my predictions are as follows: .
Brother Jackson actually said “I know some of you will be googling these two new members of the governing body”
he laughed and said l if you aren’t now then you will later”
what!!!!!!!!!
Seriously I thought we should only stick to JW.org and not be googling new current or old GB members????????
If rank and file go ahead and do Br Jackson’s suggestion then we may see a lot more members on this site 😆👏🤩
my grandmother, an immigrant from austria, was.
two of my aunts, their husbands, both elders, various cousins and two of my sisters are witnesses.
so is my grand uncle.
What can the elders do to take better care? They can ask members of the congregation to call round?
there seems to be less door to door or first call these days and more welfare visits instead.
you get more kudos points if you go to ministry group and say you are doing welfare visits today.
then at the coffee break later others hear about it and think oh I want to do that instead of door to door
my body of elders keeps getting requests for someone to call round.
when we send one of the pioneers they say nobody in the house actually requested a visit.
it was fake.
If you request a call you will get a couple of pioneers calling round
a change to their doctrine came from jackson.
this isn't a transcript of his whole speech but i thought i would try and get some of his main speech in writing.. at around 1hr26 minutes he starts talking about some dangerous thinking in feeling there is some wiggle room in regards to the schedule for the gt.
but you see, we need to be careful about what we are thinking about the number of anointed ones left on earth.
When he talked about the numbers of partakers going up I was expecting an explanation but no nothing
