Jam, You are funny.
The info above ^^^^^ is just another "apparently" "possibly" flip flop, flop flip opinion of some very opinionated men in New York. Period.
Wait a few years. Nothing in JW.org land is written in stone.
But I am curious why are they doing this latest speculation?
Are they doing it to intice a carrot of longing for departed loved ones?
Are they lining up more lonely widows and widowers to stay, mesmerizing them with this nu-lite message which cannot be proven, but the lonely souls keep going, ever faithful, finally with death near, they are easy pickings for the Elder's to swoop in and have them sign on their DEATH BED all of their saleable property and valuables over to JW.org???
In my 62 years in, flip flop flop flip , nu -lite, old lite, nu -lite, wow! The GB or Legal dept. behind them have devious minds. Who next to mark as easy pickin's ?
WT reasoning, Why not give those without hope, hope? Can't hurt and they will be ever so grateful to us with this new understanding (2014 style).
Cha-ching, cha-ching... Oh, we do love the sound of mo -n-e-e!
We have lot -s-s, but we want more,
So let's tell'em they can be married to their dead loved ones, again.
Cha- ching ...
Writing Dept... Masterful.
Legal Dept. ... Print it!
GB... Giggling like little girls, thinking what power we have, thinking oh boy, more money, thinking oh what a great scam!
Cha- ching ...
