ExJW hot takes
by Jofi_Wofo in

2. humour
i couldn't find a "hot takes" thread, and i thought it would be fun to start one up.. for those that may not know, a "hot take" is an opinion that is either uncommon or that usually goes unspoken and would likely garner some controversy, or at least a raised eyebrow, when shared with others.

it could be something serious or it could be something lighthearted.

it could also be an opinion that's actually quite popular, but often drowned out by a vocal minority.. anyways, i'll get the ball rolling!.

a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

elder: 'yes.

i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

Theory on the GB "new light" pushing back the final judgment.
by Jofi_Wofo in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know there are several threads already on this "new light", but i didn't see one that covered this particular angle.. since the gb seem to have an ulterior motive for everything they do, well beyond their publicly stated reasons, i began to wonder why they would be concerned with pushing back the closing of the window of jesus' judgement.

this is especially puzzling because the doctrine of the start of great tribulation being the final cutoff was one that the gb seemed to especially revel in for so long.

they could hang it over everyone's heads as a looming threat.

Thought on “0 hours” reporting
by FFGhost in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?
