@careful,
thank you for the kind words. This seems to be the current play book. Make some public announcement about a policy change then back door undo it with vague wt language that the faithful will be decode. Same game different tune for them.

There is a “bigger play” at work here.
There was a quiet little announcement a few months ago that sexual practices shouldnt be discussed, a wink/nod to anal and oral sex being sort of kinda ok now (again)
its followed up by a memo to elders (shared on other threads here i see) about elders myob’ing on sex issues
the article from this weekend, after a quick skim, was designed to negate those two ‘policies’ with weasel language about respecting you wife and not demeaning her sexually etc etc.
net net, “official” policy is that any sex is good sex, they stay out of it, should anyone ask. Unofficially, but what will be referenced by all elders, is the article from this past weekend where they will refer to demeaning sex and tie that to oral and anal.
TLDR: This all PR, nothing has changed. Blow jobs are still bad.

New GB member Judy Jedele critizing Job's "humility" while wearing $20,000 Rolex, gold cuff links, coloured suit. Incredible!
by WingCommander ini swear, you can't make this shit up!
for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.
" of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.

Lmao…. Only on an ex jw forum could saying “rolexs have nothing to do with their flawed theology” make someone an “apologist”
its not a rolex. They (gb) are frauds. Hang them for what they are, now what you want them to be.

Smh, and this why the ex jw community is forever foolish. Rolex or not, its irrelevant. It has nothing to do with their flawed theology.
Hang them for what really they do and say not what you imagine they did or said.
And its not a rolex to boot.

Come on man…. There is no view of the watch. Im an avid amateur horologist and reject both the assumption that its a rolex and the price cited. Secondary markets are the primary markets for rolex and older two tone subs can be had for 10k.
Stop with the dramatics and let their flawed theology speak for itself

Its far to easy to say that if current members dont know its because they dont want to… its a high control group and they are discouraged from thinking about thing, kept busy in unpaid advertising and meeting attendance designed to reinforce their beliefs, and they have their own lives to live day to day.
The simple truth is, everyone believes things, objectively, that are not true and many more things that are subjectively questionable at best.
Dont be so quick to assume that are not issue that others are saying you are willfully blind to.
Id prefer to help the jw’s i know think as opposed to dismissing them as gullible, encourage them to be authentic and not dismiss them as automatons… but youf milage may vary

Defend Your Borders or Listen to the Watchtower?
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/dnoww-4jfao?si=ehzmc5-gxqukgn7q.
with ww3 on the horizon the watchtower is bringing out their best hits on the issue of neutrality and the latest instalment on jw.org with stephen lett has the theme " why ancient israelites were allowed to go to war but as a christian you can't " or to paraphrase for a 2024 audience " why the modern state of israel is allowed all the nuclear weapons to defend their borders but you as a western european or north american you aren't supposed to compliant against open border policies and uncontrolled illegal migration" isn't that the exact same rhetoric or is it my imagination?
so one of stephen lett's go to arguments is that christians do not take up arms because we don't live in ancient times where israelites had a mandate to occupy the holy land where as we gentile christians we don't.

Ray, small correction to your post, WW3 has in fact started already, when the russia/ukrain thing kicked off. Its only now reaching full boil

Almost certainly the CO visit. All week in field serve us they pimp his sunday talk as a ‘special’ talk.
My humble advise is to blow it off, but whatever makes you happy. Its not new nor special.
