It does feel like an enormous sea change at this AGM 2023. The two new members of the GB and losing Fat Tony.
It feels like the GB are getting us ready for some big changes. Jeff Winder said the GB are not inspired and not infallible. He said when they get things wrong there is no need to apologise.
My guess is a big change about 1914. It is inevitable at some stage as we get further away from 1914 they have to admit they were wrong, and they may be putting it off but at some point they will have to admit again they were wrong.
I also guess a big change about disfellowshipping and shunning. Especially now they are losing charitable status in some places and if they drop that then they can get money off tax and keep getting handouts from governments.
What about all those who have been kicked out and shunned for voicing their opinions about the GB not being inspired and being wrong about things? Jeff is now saying these ones were right.
I know one brother who went through a really hard time for voicing his opinions about the direction to keep taking these vaccines to remain fully vaccinated. He was marked for saying the GB were not inspired and that the direction was wrong.
Now Jeff Winder is saying the same thing. He said the GB have been wrong about some doctrinal matters and organisational direction. Yes Jeff you were wrong to give direction to keep taking these shots. But until you do a U turn on the official direction then rank and file are going to keep taking them to remain fully vaccinated.
All those who were kicked out for saying what Jeff just said should have a big sincere apology!
I know one old couple who really don’t not want to keep taking these boosters because they know it’s making them more and more unwell. But until the GB do a U turn on the direction then the rank and file have been told to follow direction even if they disagree with it.
