So what happens next...
by Farmer Jim1 in
1. jw
2. friends
with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

in my mind these are the results;.

1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

Is there “new light” on 1914?
by wallsofjericho in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i’m hearing paraphrasing like “we just don’t know” .

is this regarding 1914?

or micheal the arch angel?.
ExBethelitenowPIMA

They haven’t mentioned 1914 doctrinal changes but sometimes recently they have actually said about 1914 instead of just saying 1914.
When you think about the changes about who will be killed at Armageddon they said we just don’t know, so they are admitting they never knew.
If they even admitted they never knew about 1914 and it was just copying William Miller then it would be too much for average Jdub to take.
They can’t admit this, but then again at some point they will have to. There is no way out, they have painted themselves into a corner

General Amnesty For Disfellowshipped

future gb: "please come back!

all is forgiven!".

would it work?
ExBethelitenowPIMA

This is absolutely true the threat of disfellowshipping doesn’t carry the same weight it used to.
Most just ignore the direction to shun. What can the elders do if parents keep having associations with dissed family members?
Would the elders really threaten to disfellowship the parents as well? In the past that may have been a possibility, but these days there wouldn’t be many left in the congregation they are so desperate to cling on to numbers

Further education

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?.

- Any time you mention a critical article or video to a JW, their reply will be that you cannot trust anything posted on the internet because it's likely something apostates have photoshopped or falsified to discredit "the brothers". There is plenty to be said about the bOrganization without having to fake it.
  Anyone who does this is just fueling their persecution complex
  Br Jackson beard was fake
- Just like that letter claiming to be from Bethel saying a U turn on advanced education. JW podcasts YouTube channel insists it’s real but yet to prove it

Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”
by FFGhost in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.

old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.

the “door of the ark” is closed.
ExBethelitenowPIMA

No zombie this is such an important point you are making. The tempo has changed, the turmoil going on for the GB flooding us with this quite radical 'new light' (at the moment), the volume of it, for me is more telling than the actual messages themselves..

Yes they keep close on apostate stuff, it’s the way they can tell if when they make mistakes. They could never know that from other PIMIs in Bethel.
This is why AGM 2023 they had to say we make mistakes but r not sorry

How many young people will get baptised as a JW now they have been told they don’t have to until great tribulation starts?

Join JW's or DIE - soon!!!
by BoogerMan in
1. watchtower
2. bible
w72 10/1 p. 607 - "they (jw's) know that soon now all who are not true worshipers of jehovah (jw's) will be destroyed.".

how quickly half a century passes by!

2 peter 3:8 - "...one day is with jehovah jw.borg as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.

No one could repent once the Ark door was closed and it started raining as that would not be a display of faith in God but only wanting to save their own skin.”
This is a very good point. The new light means you can wait and see if Noah was right then say ok it looks like the world is actually going to flood now like Noah said, OK I will get on the ark after all, better to wait and see for sure first.
This is surely the wise thing to do now before anyone gets baptised. Wait and see if things play out the way JWs say it will. Then you can always get on the ark if it’s looking like the world will flood. But don’t waste you time or energy until then.
