  Know it’s not true but stay anyway

  how many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.

  my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

  japan jws were stuck in the 1950s.

  then the media made a big deal about discipline for kids and shunning ect.

  now three foreign brothers have been sent to serve on the japanese branch committee.

  Elders book

  so there is going to be a big elders meeting for all body’s of elder this week to go over the changes.

  i would imagine a great deal of the elders book is now obsolete and it would be too big a deal to update so much, maybe they will just make a new one?.

  by the sound of it there are some more very large changes on the way anyway.. adjustments to handling serious wrongdoing in the congregation (s-395): a new document entitled adjustments to handling serious wrongdoing in the congregation is available in the "forms" section of the "documents" tab on jw hub.

  New light

  things are changing so rapidly.

  there is so much confusion now.. if we can talk to disfellowshiped/disassociated ones to invite them to meetings then is it really going to stop there?.

  some family members haven’t had contact for decades and now after yesterdays new light they will all be getting calls.

  Can you openly express doubts in the congregation these days?

  i know of a lovely old sister who has been a jw for several decades now who openly expresses doubts about jw interpretations.. she does it in such a lovely way and everyone loves her.

  she is such a sweet old soul, makes everyone happy around her.. she has said things like- even if we have got it wrong about this and that i still believe the bible is gods word”.

  she answers up regularly and she goes on ministry groups but like most of us she is definitely jwlite, we don’t really do door to door work anymore.
