Yeah, back in the late 90's there was an entire Awake! magazine devoted to how evil and dangerous the internet is, a tool in the hands of the Devil....
The Society would never use the internet...wait...what's this JW.org?

Has there been new counsel about Facebook recently?
by purrpurr ini've noticed increasing amounts of jw's are coming off fb and deactivating completely.
all with the same reason which they post about at lenght which is that they wwant to focus more on their spiritual life and not have the distraction of fb.. have i missed something or is this just a coincidence?.

Of course Candace can do what she wants and we are all very proud of her, I was just going by the previous statements of her and her lawyer about what their objective was/is.
The fact to me she has settled seems to suggest she has gotten the WT to change some of their draconian child abuse policies like the 2 witness rule etc.
Hopefully, this will benefit thousands more who have suffered abuse and hopefully prevent any abuse. She has been a very brave woman for this fight and has won.
I just hope we can get some details of her settlement.

But surely her case is about the WT changing their policies? I thought that was what Candace and Irwin Zalkin were fighting for? -

What the Governing Body found out when they ' did the math'
by Esse quam videri instephen lett may 2015 broadcast.
14:45 ... the governing body very much feels the urgency of accomplishing as much as we possibly can, in behalf of kingdom interests, knowing that the great day of jehovah is near....
... in an effort to inform you of the support that is needed for this great work, i have the following information to share.

Well when you do "the math" of the kings of Babylon from the Insight book and get 587BCE as the destruction of Jerusalem yet they say it was 607BCE then it is hardly surprising they cannot do "the math" with their finances. -

Confused though.
In the UK we recently read an exdub won v the WT and payment was set of £275,000.
But that exdub was not fighting to change the policies of the WT, just that they were at fault.
Candace on the other hand IS fighting to get them to change their policy thus why would she accept a settlement, she is not in it for the money but to change the policies...thus the only way she could accept a settlement is if the WT are going to change their policies.
Or am I wrong?

priveledges an extra layer of protection
by aintenoughwiskey ini have noticed when an elder or ms gets in serious trouble, many times it's simply a demotion.
local example.
well liked ms son of a prominent elder/pioneer gets caught doing the dance with no pants with his fiancee.

Yup it happens.
We had a young MS who was daddy elders pride and joy caught going to a nightclub...daddy elder asks me if it is true of which I said yes as my flatemate, a study at the time, worked in the nightclub told me...nothing happened.
Another MS goes to the same nightclub but not daddy elders son, instant demotion as a MS with public reproof.

Updated Chronological Timeline of the Great Tribulation -- after the New Light from July Watchtower
by FusionTheism inthe july 15, 2015 study watchtower article entitled "your deliverance is getting near", along with the jw broadcasting video entitled "gerrit losch: fortified by "the prophetic word," and chapter 21 of the god's kingdom rules!
book presented a large amount of new light or clarified understanding of the events of the great tribulation.. here i am presenting it in chronological order -- this is the governing body's updated chronological order of events for the time right before the great tribulation through armageddon:.
the final sealing of the anointed occurs just prior to the outbreak of the tribulation.

Thanks Listener
FusionTheism said point 6 was from the talk Gerrit gave but I actually meant a source for the change in preaching message during the GT and Gerrit discusses no such thing but he does talk about the "4 years" thing which is also part of point 6 hence the confusion.
I must have missed that WT you quote, I'll take a more in-depth look at it.

Thanks for the references...although point 6 I've never ever seen written by the WT, now a GB may say it in a talk but in the past they say things but they are never written so they it can never bite them and make them look an ass, as Rutherfprd once said.
But the internet has captured what the GB said, what is the scriptural proof that the preaching work continues during the GT but that the message changes to one of "your doomed"?
EDIT..I just watched the 15 min video by Gerrit...excude me as it may have been my mind switching off but at what point did he say that the preaching work changes from one of Good News to one of judgement?
If you can tell me the time in the video that would be cool, I can't stomach to watch it again.

In fact, I would like references for every point. Otherwise, this thread is someones opinion of what the WT teaches.
