2024 Annual Meeting Doctrinal Change
by Listener ina 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.

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. Maybe generated by AI?
Here is an example letter-
PLEASE FOLLOW UP
(The person whose name appears below has shown interest or is deaf.) Please follow up the request when it is possible to do so.
Name and details redacted
UNITED KINGDOM
Male
English
Best Contact Time:
Received from the Internet, not from a publisher. Please exercise appropriate caution.
ATTENTION: A large number of online requests for visits are received at the branch office. In most cases we have no way to identify which ones are fake. We leave it to the elders’ discretion to decide how to follow up.
There is no need for the publisher calling on this person to mention the fact that a request has been submitted online. Simply starting a conversation may be all that is needed to see if he or she is “rightly disposed.”—Acts 13:48.

how do you feel about the use of the name Jehovah now?
by enoughisenough infor those who still believe in god and the bible, how do you feel/think about the name jehovah now?
i am one who never wanted to bring reproach on god's name.
i will admit using the word jehovah now makes me feel rather icky...like i am promoting a lie of sorts.

Jehoshaphat – Jeremiah
Jehoiakim – Isaiah
Jehoram – Nehemiah
Jehoiachin – Zechariah
______________
יהו Jeho + ה ah = יהוה Jehoah
Jehovahיה Jah - יהוה Jehoah
יהושע Jehoshua
JesusJehoah Could be correct also. Most Bible names starting with J could be a little different in various languages.
English there are a few ways you could possibly translate the divine name. Many other languages JWs get the divine name better than they do in English.
but the truth is we don’t know 100% correct translation of all these names starting with J into various languages.
Maybe we not try translating all these names and just say the original language?
John, James, Jesus or Jehovah these are all translated differently around the world in different languages.
My name is John and as I travel people call me their translation of my name. I don’t mind I do not insist they only call me the English translation

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

After all this time we should at least be able to find out if he is still attending meetings? If he is in a congregation somewhere what do those members of that congregation know about him?
I remember hearing about Br Chitty who was GB attending congregations as normal after he was removed but these days the internet has changed everything

Marcial--News and Update on Atlantis!
by Atlantis innews on the person you call (atlantis!).
(before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.
he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.

Are there any other elders who can post confidential letters?
I’m sure there are PIMA elders who could post the confidential letters somewhere, they often end up on Reddit. Then the exJW community do video commentary and such.
Atlantis was so good at organising these things I do hope someone else steps up to fill his shoes.
could we have a fund raiser or go fund me page for an elder to get the equipment needed to be able to upload safely using a VPN and encrypt it or something?
In case the branch has embedded some way of tracing the origin of leaked content?

Half hearted JWs compared to past generations
by JohnR1975 inis 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 .

The vast majority of humanity who claim to have some kind of religious beliefs are half hearted. It’s only a few who are true believers in every sense of the word.
Decades ago most Jws fell into the camp of true believers in every sense. These days the minority of real old timers still fall into that category but the vast majority these days are half hearted.
This Is a monumental shift in the JW religion. All the changes of late have been forced to reflect this.
Most people in congregations are just like other religions now, half hearted going through the motions but not die hard true believers in every sense of the word. They go through the motions and say the right things but they know in their heart it’s not all true and just hope that some of it may be true but they know it’s probably not.
but for now go through the motions because it’s nice being part of the community

So the cum cum deals The cum-cum deals, in which the Sparkasse and the Volksbanken were also involved, defrauded the state of an estimated 25 billion euros. Securities traders from London and bankers from Frankfurt, Hamburg and Stuttgart were involved. Prof. Spengel explains how the share transactions resulted in unlawful tax refunds and how this may have caused
greater financial damace than the cum-ex transactions.
what has this got to do with the JWs? We all k ow the bankers are criminals this is nothing new.

Silent Buddha you really saw him out and about?
I find that hard to believe, if this was the case then why hasn’t anyone taken any recent pictures of him?
better yet approach him and ask how he is doing?
