Should I or should I not be that worried if someone took me to court for defamation? Even if I did indeed accuse someone falsely of visiting sex workers how on earth could they prove that they didn’t? Especially if they have admitted to it on a record

I see the JW schedule ap is getting slowly updated for January 2024.
Most congregations use this ap now, and everyone in the congregation has the ap. they can see who has which assignments and will get reminders etc in calendar.
The people who made the ap are making a lot of money from as each congregation pays for out out of donations.
The developers really have to earn their millions now that the gov body have changed the midweek meeting format 🤣
they only just got all the bugs sorted on the old way.
it’s designed to look back over the last years and see who hadn’t given each item in the longest time and make the schedule the most fair. But now it’s back to square one with the new meeting format

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..

Is there any downside to the JWLITE wager? It’s a good way of life and if there is a downside then avoid that, just take the benefits.
It’s a great community of people. Very interesting following the Bible with an open mind.
Ignore the GB direction on everything never shun anyone and keep your head down. Some on Reddit are saying this new JWLITE wager means you never ever talk to elders if they ever want to take you to the back room.
well I am an elder and I’m choosing the JWLITE wager. I can talk about the Bibles promises completely leaving the GB out of it. I can encourage everyone even those who have left the organisation.

Yes hope and faith are different in the way that hope is binary either ones or zeros. You either have hope or you don’t. Atheists don’t have hope in the Bibles promises of something better but agnostics and theists do.
Faith on the other hand could be measured on a scale of 1-100. Atheists have zero faith in the Bible so no hope. Theists can be up near 100 while agnostics maybe down near to zero the size Jesus mustard grain but they both have hope.Pascal’s wager is basically saying it’s better to have faith the size of a mustard grain and therefore hope than to have none.If you visit someone on the dying bed or someone who has just lost loved ones, you can hold their hand and tell them about the Biblical promises like in this Rev21:3,4, and even if you are nearer to zero on the scale it’s still a hope.Even if it is placebo it’s still a help. The thing about placebo is that believing it helps is actually helping. So to say it actually does no good whatsoever is not accurate as it does do some good as long as you have hope. -

I tend to feel like a lot of non-hardcore Christians do, at least what I perceive them to, that Christ makes amends where we come up short, and that faith in Christ goes a long way
-
Yes that faith goes a long way. But here is my question? Is ignorance bliss? Can a placebo work if you are truly not sure if it maybe just placebo?
Could you have the view that maybe the Bibles promises are correct and having faith and hope in the POSSIBILITY of the Bible being right, will this help?
If a doctor gives a placebo to a critical thinker, and this patient is not sure if it’s just placebo. But the doctor was very convincing that this medication will help. If the patient has the view that maybe it’s placebo but maybe not will it still help?

I hoped the first item which told us about new light would have been shown but no not uet
I took a look at the school in Jan, and the talks are way different. Going to be a huge change. I think it will make is completely rethink our talks and our min.

“With so many religions and religious denominations --many which demand exclusive and rigid devotion-- the odds are that most people will fall short.”
One real problem for all PIMIs is that they have been brainwashed to feel guilty about absolutely everything. They have been programmed to go tell the elders about everything they may feel guilty about.
Many feel guilty they are not doing enough ministry or due to what the GB say they just feel they should be doing more study or doing more in the congregation. They feel guilty they watch slightly inappropriate entertainment. This eats away at them and it’s very detrimental to their physical and mental health that they just can’t live upto the ideal that the GB have put out there.
I know of at least a few brothers who viewed porn and the guilt was eating them up. They had to go tell the elders. It’s often sexual repression and it leads to other problems.
But when you think about it porn and masterbation is very common and not that bad, certainly not bad enough to have guilt eating away at you. Some experts say it’s ok to release tension rather than have repressed feelings building up inside you.
Maybe JWLITE would be an absolute saviour for some who wake up to the fact that the GB are misguided and are wrong about many things. JWLITE means you do have to keep somethings to yourself and certainly not go tell the elders about every questionable thing you do or view in your own personal privacy.
No more having guilt eating away at you.
I know this would help

Pornography in the Marriage
by LostintheFog1999 inthe magazine that they are studying in the congregation this month has an article at the back about how pornography in a marriage could damage the relationship.. there's one piece of advice that sounds rather scary, the wt suggests that the couple should "consider asking an elder with whom you are both comfortable to sit in and guide your discussions for a time.".
how many of you would want an elder present in your home while you and your partner discussed your personal sexual cravings and the type of porn videos being watched?.
