Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”

by FFGhost in

so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.

old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.

the “door of the ark” is closed.

Rat, it is new light according to the GB. The official doctrine changed at the 2023 AGM. Before that it was only baptised JWs and their young children who would make it when Armageddon comes. If you died before hand then you would be resurrected.

Now this has been a huge change. Anyone can make we just don’t know. And we don’t have to hope our loved ones die beforehand because they could make it now unless they are really bad.

I suppose they are saying it’s a bit like the Bible says there will be a resurrection of the unrighteous. Maybe they think unrighteous can also survive Armageddon now since they said it would be stupid to hope your loved ones die beforehand.

So is the new light that unrighteous ones will survive? Since we thought before that as long they die before they would make it, and they seem to be saying it’s stupid to hope someone dies before?

there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.

one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.

i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.

EK Johnson is actually a very good writer and based on JW fiction it’s adds a level of interest for XJWs. His one series I liked called flee starts just before the great grub and then all congregations get direction to flee. It’s very good fiction actually

Hotels for convention

by ElderBerry in

a department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .

they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .

this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.

Teddnzo

Is the org that desperate for money that they try to make a profit from hotels?

I remember we used to have food made by volunteers at the convention and then they simplified it and said bring your own pack lunch. This was much more simple.

Why do the brothers at Bethel spend so much time talking to hotel managers and trying to get some of the profits from JWs staying with them. Just like the pack lunches wouldn’t it be better to just say please plan out your own accommodation.

These brothers spending all that time ringing hotels would be better spending that time doing something else

Belgian court decision

Freedom of thought and religion (specifically for apostates in this case).

They always make a big deal in court about freedom of thought for themselves. They make a big deal about religious discrimination and play the victim.

But they would never consider that they discriminate someone who used to be a witness now thinks they are wrong about something and chooses to believe something else.

With the gay videos they said to say to gay people “we don’t push our beliefs on you so please don’t force me to have your beliefs”

I wish JWs would be like this

i’ve decided to disassociate from the jw organisation.

i cannot be part of a community that blatantly rejects the sacrifice of jesus in that demonic memorial ritual.

amazing what information you find when you start researching.. i’m writing my letter and posting it to the kingdom hall this morning.

Never*

I meant to say never coming back

Those men who thought up this evil practice really have caused so much misery and break up of families and friends.

And then to openly lie about it and say “it’s only spiritual things we don’t talk about but we will talk about other things” this is a lie. Unless we will have new light doing a U turn and say we can talk to them just not about spiritual things.

So we are trapped by men long since dead who thought up this evil practice of shunning someone just because they no longer share your interpretation of the Bible.

I don’t blame my life long friends who are such good people. I blame the evil men who thought up this evil insanity.

The best thing we could all do is ignore it. That’s what Zo and I do. We are JW lite and will still talk to any old friends who leave the organisation and tell them we are staying JW lite for the good friends that are still in. Some who have left have said they wished they did the same as us.

If Elders come to talk to you about why you still talk to those who were announced as no longer a JW then tell them I thought we had new light saying just don’t talk about spiritual things? I can show you the video here listen to this….

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars (continued)

uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.

He is obviously a very mixed up old man. Past midlife crisis stage this is later life catastrophe.

He kids won’t want to speak to him once they are old enough to do a Google search. He knows this.

His plan of living off making YouTube videos is going downhill fast. Soon he will have only a couple of hundred patrons probably giving an average of $10 month or something like that. In time it will get less and less.

He has admitted to being suicidal and on medication for mental health. Then he admitted to stopping taking them cold turkey against the advice of medical professionals.

He has talked before about experimenting with illegal drugs and it sound like he is on a self destructive path downhill.

He may think he is near the bottom of the barrel but there is further to go down once he can’t pay his rent and is homeless in a country that he has never bothered to learn the language.

His best bet now is try to sincerely apologise and try to build back bridges he burned. If he genuinely shows a humble attitude get a job and show he is sorry then he will have many forgive him.

He should be honest with his kids when they are old enough. Without trying to use excuses and blame JWs for his downward spiral. If you are reading Lloyd then don’t try and say sexual repression and the JWs are to blame. Many times throughout history humans waited until marriage before sex, and they all didn’t cheat on their wives with prostitution. And they certainly didn’t ask their wife to buy condoms to go on sex holidays

I don’t blame them for that. I blame the men who thought up this evil practice of shunning. They are still real friends who will be there for you but they have been deceived. We have to keep that in mind.

I know of somebody recently his name is James Treadwell, his nickname was Bob in Bethel dinning room in London. He has just been disfellowshiped I think it’s because he is obviously gay.

Everyone really likes him he is such a great guy. I’ve heard people say “it’s harder on us than it is on him” I think it’s hard on everyone but particularly for the one being shunned.

I can think of so many others over the years, really good people who for one reason or another they have left the organisation.

Some say we just have to wait for them to come back then we can talk to them again, but they truth is they are now coming back.

Further education

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

i just saw on a video that there has been a change about further education.

here is a screenshot of a letter that went to all elders.

i am an elder but i don’t remember this one, perhaps it is only for some areas?.

Teddnzo

That letter is fake there has been no U turn on education just as there has been no U turn on being fully vaccinated before getting involved in any training schools.
