JWLITE
by Teddnzo ineven elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

Yes they are in full panic mode. Slowly becoming JWlite following all recommendations by apostates, we should be paid royalties and sue for plagiarism!
There could be the regular JWLITE which is what Borg is becoming and and super light JWLITE where you are irregular but still keep your hand in as it were.
After the new light on facial hair, next new light on U turn on vaccine mandates for all schools? They still haven’t done this and the longer they leave it seems JWs are the only ones left on Earth keep going to get the booster jabs every six months.
They keep using the first century circumcised issue. Well in the end that was concluded with neutrality. You can have the medical procedure if you want but you don’t have to.
To start with they said you have to have it then they did a U turn. They have done a U turn on beards and so many other things now how long before the U turn on having to be fully vaccinated?
After that a U turn on better education, blood transfusions being a conscience matter, birthdays, sisters having teaching parts, only one in person meeting per week the rest on zoom.
Lightening up requirements for appointment in congregations, lowering the age again so teenagers can be elders? Possibly as they have moved towards this in recent new light announcements

Predictions for the next decade?
by jehovaxx inas it’s nearly the new year my prediction over the next decade or so will see the sense of urgency dwindle.
then some huge huge changes.
for example by 2034 in a decades time, they will have address the 1914 issue and will come out and say we can’t be dogmatic.

For example by 2034 in a decades time, they will have address the 1914 issue and will come out and say we can’t be dogmatic. Maybe Jesus was appointed king in 1914 but we just don’t know anymore.
They will have to think of something else entirely to keep the sense of urgency but already we are seeing the sense of urgency dwindling.
Young ones just aren’t getting baptised and why would they? Even more so once the new light is released that you don’t need to be faithful now you could come in last minute.
The vaccine changed everything.
For the first time ever in my life congregation members are not afraid to say things like “maybe the Governing body got it wrong when they said it was from Jehovah”
This is a remarkable change from when I was growing up. You could never ever speak against the GB. But now I hear more and more little comments. Like when Steve Lett said babies were little enemies of God. People were saying that was a silly thing to say.
Now I even hear some say things like maybe what we believed about 1914 is not quite right, maybe even is younger ones will grow old in this system. And others who I thought would have issue with what they said actually agreed with them. I had to say “yes the governing body are not inspired or infallible so they may have gotten it all wrong”
I later said to one PIMA person at the gathering that of course the GB will blame Jehvaxx by saying he will see fit to release new light when he thinks the time is right.

What If The Tower Fell?
by Big Dog inwhat if the truly unthinkable happened and the tower went down?
perhaps the irs swooped in and claimed fraud and padlocked the headquarters and kingdom hall doors?
or the gb took the money and ran to a nice non-extradition country to live out their years?

Covid Vaccine
by sloppyjoe2 ini may be mistaken, but wasn’t there a governing body video where one of them said something along the lines of you don’t trust that the vaccines are safe do you really believe that the governing body is the faithful slave?
perhaps i imagined this but i thought something like this was said.

The covid updates got progressively more coercive to keep taking the vaccines. Peak coercion to be fully vaccinated when Steve Lett’s voice went really high and enthusiastic saying many don’t know who to believe and there is a lot of misinformation out there, but you can trust our brothers. He really emphasised and enthusiastically said this information (saying the vaccines are safe) is FROM OUR BROTHERS!
The David Splain quoted Steve Lett saying the same thing, and then he said “you may be wondering what do these brothers know, wrong question. What does Jehovaxx know?
It comes down to this, do you believe Jehovah is backing this organisation or not. Would he really allow all full time servants and all bethelites to take this vaccine if it was not safe?”
Then Tony Morris said in one covid update “one church said these vaccines are the work of the devil, they are from Satans world. How great full we can be that we know Jehovaxx helped get 99% of full time servants fully vaccinated in record time”

Still no U turn on vax mandates for all schools
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inyou still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.
elders and ministerial servants have their kingdom ministry school every year, the cobe of every congregation has to check that everyone is fully vaccinated.
after the school everyone will ask any bothers who were not there why not?
-
jehovaxx
Would anyone be able to confirm have they done a U turn yet anywhere around the world?
Is it not possible to go to any of the schools without being fully vaccinated?
Maybe they will try to quietly drop it, without making a big deal and people saying it’s a U turn when that’s exactly what it is.
When they finally do a U turn will they apologise to all the unvaccinated who were not allowed to go?

Retirement
by jehovaxx inthe difference is now blatantly obvious, older ones who went against direction of the gb and planned for retirement have relatively more comfortable lives.. those who trusted and followed gb direction never got further education or training, pioneered or spent most of their lives knocking on doors for free, making just enough to get by in a part time job.. if you followed direction from the gb then you thought the end was just around the corner so no need to plan for retirement.. now these ones have indeed got old which they were given the impression they never would.
they are a burden on others.
the state has to pay for them in their old age.

Now these ones have indeed got old which they were given the impression they never would. They are a burden on others. The state has to pay for them in their old age. Hardworking responsible people who did the opposite of what the GB said now pay for those that trusted the GB, from taxpayers money from Satans world.
The Watchtower on Sunday said for those who thought the end would have come already “a thousand years is like a day to Jehovaxx” he is showing great patience look at all the new people come into the truth because he is being patient.
This makes me angry, you could say the same thing in hundreds of years time. But look at all the elderly left out to dry because they never planned for retirement and worked for free all those decades?

The Saddest Thing About Tony Morris's Removal
by NotFormer ini've mentioned before how i've wondered how tony morris must have felt when he was sacked.
yes, i know he's a rehensible human being who got served a healthy dose of karma, or, if you like, divine judgement.
to go from having all there is to have within the world he lived in, to where he is now; that's a long fall.

When bottlegate broke everyone was talking about it. Some elderly sisters were saying it’s not him, it looks like him but there is no way a member of the GB would buy that much expensive whiskey.
They couldn’t kick him out straight after that or it would be obvious. Their strategy to wait and hope people forget has often worked in the past.
