Ron, yes exactly. Cut off those hardliners who you would be happy to never speak to again. But keep the good ones

Further education

I’ve had it on authority from someone in USA that this letter is not a fraud and it was sent to a few select congregations in the states only.
Is there anyway to confirm if this letter was real or fake?
Shunned podcast YouTube channel insists the letter is real and it was really from the branch

Load is getting lighter and yolk so kindly it’s hardly there👏
by jehovaxx ini heard an answer recently about how jesus said my yolk is kindly and my load is light.. he actually as good as said jwlite but not in so many words.. he said jehovah and jesus know it’s getting harder in these critical times so have made the load even lighter and the yolk even more kindly with padding.. all the changes recently, no more reports, beards allowed it’s jw lite with actually calling it such.
zoom meetings and ministry groups, new meeting format in january that is so easy there is no preparation needed.
anyone could turn up on the day not even having looked at the material and give any item as it’s all on rails.. people were talking after the meeting “there is so much new light it’s as if jesus is saying we know you are finding things hard, here let me make the load even lighter still.”.

How much lighter can Jesus load get and how more comfortable can his yoke be?
If someone stays on zoom meetings and ministry and only goes in person a few times a year then how much easier could it be?
If men grow beards and can still have all the advantages, you won’t be looked down on.
No more reporting requirements, and this is just the start. I predict the load getting even lighter still, and the yoke even more comfortable.
Yes I predict next sisters can wear pants if it’s cold and they say their legs get cold, but then it will carry over and sisters will wear pants a lot of the time.
Out of all the celebrations I think birthdays will be the first to have the load lighter. Then blood fractions will go even further like how the cell saver machine can be used and maybe even a halfway option to have blood transfusions if life depended on it. This new direction will of course be taken further.
The advanced education will also have new directions saying as long as aware of dangers it’s ok to go for advanced education and this again will be taken further than the GB wanted.

I would advise caution.
Why make things so difficult that all JWs will shun you?
Surely it would be better to fade, then you will be loved bombed anytime anyone runs into you

The Governing Body - Both sides of their coin
by Ron.W. inhow many can you think of.... they speak for god.. it would seem presumptuous to say they speak for god,.
they are neither inspired nor infallible.. they are god's only channel for issuing truth here on earth.
they won't be apologising for any errors/falsehoods they have promoted in the past that fail.. congregation members must be quick and apologise for their errors to avoid harsh discipline/disfellowshipping.. when they change a major belief/doctrine you must not complain or criticise them.

It’s always been about simplifying your life, can you work one day less per week to spend more time on the min.
Dont buy a property just rent. Don’t take that promotion just keep the simple lowest position min wage. Just enough to support yourself after all the end is just around the corner.
But then on the other hand, we need skilled volunteers we need you to send donations. We need you to provide food and perhaps little white envelopes to those in full time service. And yes We need volunteers to accommodate CO - a detached mother-in-law suite would be ideal.

Shepherd book chapter 8:30
30. He or a Member of His Household Pursues Higher Education:
If an appointed brother, his wife, or his children pursue higher education, does his life pattern show that he puts Kingdom in- terests first in his life? Does he teach his family members to put Kingdom interests first? Does he respect what has been pub- lished by the faithful slave on the dangers of higher education?
CHAPTER 8 “SHEPHERD THE FLOCK OF GOD”
APPOINTMENT AND DELETION OF ELDERS AND MINISTERIAL SERVANTS
Do his speech and conduct reveal that he is a spiritual person? How is he viewed by the congregation? Why is he or his family pursuing higher learning? Do they have theocratic goals? Does the pursuit of higher education interfere with regular meeting at- tendance, meaningful participation in field service, or other theo- cratic activities?

The education thing is very mysterious. There was supposedly a letter sent to some congregations saying they have warned about the dangers of further education but never made hard rules about it.
This letter has never had the original shown to people like Atlantis who are doing a brilliant work leaking letters and checking things. Many are saying the letter is bogus because not all elders have seen it. But I asked this guy and he says the letter is really from the USA branch.
So many are asking him if the letter was really sent from the branch to select congregations then let’s get to the bottom of it. I’m looking forward to his next video where he will hopefully shed more lite
see the letter about 6 mins into this video https://youtu.be/0v5i-I4fHFc?feature=shared

“The "last minute conversion" thing might be considered meatier, but it hasn't been confirmed yet by an official announcement.
Relaxing the rules on clothing styles is arguably a foreseeable next step.
Tertiary education is still seemingly being railed against, if that video of an elder being raked over the coals for his kid going to college is real.”
Next broadcast should release the new lite about last minute conversion, and that changed everything. No need to place your bets with GB or you will be killed at Armageddon, now you can wait to see if they were right before you place your bets.
The clothing thing is next, maybe sisters will have more options and brothers don’t always need to wear a tie and things like that depending on situations.

The point is this channel had trust. Good interviews and lots of people trusted him.
that British chap was the best ex jw interview I ever heard and I was so pleased to see part 2 on this channel recently
now I have lost faith in all ex jw content creators
I hope he didn’t know it was fake but he must give an explanation now.
if in fact he was the one who made the bogus letter then it’s a very serious situation because a lot of trust was put in him, he is doing work with helping lots of people thinking about leaving JWs
he was involved in this work helping people heal after jw https://youtu.be/WjsmkLSs5ow?feature=shared
now it’s all called into question with a bogus letter
I hope he was deceived and not the deceiver but he needs to give an apology to retain any kind of future
it’s such a shame

It’s such a shame though, that was a good channel. He did some of the best interviews and had the best points. Now he has gone down in my estimation
unless he comes back with an apology and says he will be more careful in the future
either that or he was the one who made up the bogus letter in the first place
