  i just saw on a video that there has been a change about further education.

  here is a screenshot of a letter that went to all elders.

  i am an elder but i don’t remember this one, perhaps it is only for some areas?.

  Changed behavior of the governing body on the topic of “vaccinations” in the Covid era

  by Pedro in

  i'm looking for an explanation why the gb has made a radical change on the issue of vaccinations.

  was there pressure from outside?

  were there any financial or other benefits to promoting experimental genetic therapy?.

  It’s as simple as threatening to have charitable tax free status removed. That simple. Go along with the narrative or start paying tax on donations.

  A few decades ago France removed the tax free status and they had to start paying fair amounts of tax which was about 40% in their bracket. They didn’t want to pay Caesars things to him so shut down operations in France and moved everything to London.

  I was at Bethel in London at the time and everyone was saying why not just pay the fair tax as they keep telling all their followers to?

  Its that simple, don’t piss off the superior authority or they will not let you keep getting away with tax evasion.

  Not just JWs but all organisations had to promote the vaccine

  JWLITE

  even 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..

  The numbers are going down, especially younger one’s leaving. They are in full on crisis panic mode.

  They are trying to go for a softer, gentler easier JW religion. Easing restrictions like beards, no more reporting hours. The changes to meeting formats means hardly any preparation needed.

  You can be an elder these days zero preparation needed, just turn up on the day and give your item, everything is in the meeting workbook it’s all on rails.

  Meetings and ministry are hybrid zoom now, everything is easier. Trying to slow the bleeding of numbers.

  Young ones don’t need to get baptised, they can take up the offer of last minute repentance if what the GB teach turns out to be correct. These young ones can get upto all sorts of normal things that young ones do and as long as not baptised there is nothing the elders can do

  “They are recommending oils like canola (which I call rape oil) that go rancid inside the bloodstream, creating more inflammation and clots within your blood vessels. And avoid animal fats? Sounds like the jokehovian witlesses are trying to impose a vegan diet on the flock.”

  Yes the direction is to avoid natural animal fat, fatty seafood and natural eggs, Jehovah says to replace with transfats, synthetic egg substitute and margarine!!!

  “You are better off eating high quality animal fats “

  
  

  you are better off doing the opposite of Jehovah’s direction here for sure!!!

  “When possible, cook with unsaturated vegetable oils.c These oils are better than those that are high in saturated fats.”

  I personally would like to challenge that direction from Jehovah.

  My challenge is that good saturated fatty meat and seafood is far better than seed oils that Jehovahs publications are pushing.

  But then we are talking about the people who say the vaccines are from Jehovah and they are safe and effective

  There is no way margarine is better than animal fat!!!!

  ”Use vegetable oil and soft margarine in place of animal fat,” I can’t believe they said this as recently as the 90s!

  it seems Jehovah got that wrong as well🖕

  I cook with tallow animal fat and would never ever consume margarine that Jehovah recommended fuck your margarine directions Jehovah

  Steve Lett doesn’t look well

  as soon as you see steve letts talk at the agm you think to yourself “oh my, what’s happened to him?.

  his hand has plasters and his skin doesn’t look healthy, like he has inflammation or something serious going on.. he had put on weight and is all bloated and puffy .

  his skin really doesn’t look good, the kind of inflammation many people notice after the experimental covid vaccines.. there have been very high numbers of people reported inflammation after the experimental covid vaccines.

  On the first page of JW broadcast there is one video of Steve Lett looking like he has for a while(don’t know how old it is) and this new update where he looks completely different. The difference is night and day. It’s looks like father and son. He has aged and puffed out in a short time.

  If he is really unwell that is unfortunate for those who said Tony Morris stepped down due to being unwell. Then why don’t Steve, Sam and Gerret step down for being so old and unwell?

  New GB update - beards are now perfectly ok (no really!)

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to save y’all the agony of having to sit & watch lett (looking even more puffy and jaundiced than the last time), here is a summary:.

  beards are now perfectly fine for anyone & everyone, including ministerial servants, elders, and “special full time servants” (cos and betheliites).. but don’t go and feel “vindicated” — even if you knew you were right about beards, you shouldn’t run ahead of jehovah’s “chariot”.. so there you go.. if you need explicit permission from a puffy steroid addled facial contortionist with an increasingly ridiculous combover to make personal grooming decisions…you might be in a cult .

  Predictions for the next decade?

  by jehovaxx in

  as 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.

  “Between the easing of obligations for physical attendance and door-to-door work, I can see them going either way in terms of how many people join or stay. But I have no idea if they will be able to keep enough money coming in to support operations at Ramapo.”

  If the numbers declining are looking so desperate then to make new lite seem more appealing especially to young ones may be a last minute desperate attempt to stop the decline.

  Make it easier and more accessible. Drop the direction of shunning and lighten up on stupid old rules. Stop forbidding good education and lighten up on forbidding birthdays

  admit the now long dead brother’s were wrong 1914, and these new younger brothers have got some amazing new light that means you don’t have to go to meetings or ministry that much anymore

  basically JWlite that we designed on this forum. The new younger GB can learn a lot from us. You can now celebrate birthdays, because this one celebration is hard to explain compared to others.

  New JWLITE would slow the decline
