JWLITE

even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

Yes it all comes down to interpretation. All this new light we keep get is just changing interpretations of this ancient book that the truth is we don’t really understand.

I just watched this entire video which I thought was brilliant and any who have been JWs for a long time will relate. https://youtu.be/5wjy8ETRvho?feature=shared

It seems the new JW light at every AGM is slowly becoming JWLITE anyway if you see what I mean. JWs are becoming dumber or another way to say it is they don’t seek to think about the interpretation of scripture at all, they just go along with what the GB say even if it makes No sense!

An interesting observation in this video that this is the first time the GB have used the term new light as it was only the ex JWs who used that term

Inserted a new point directing that it is the responsibility of the body of elders to decide if a funeral for a publisher who committed suicide may be held at the Kingdom Hall.

Wow.

I remember a middle aged sister who killed herself and her funeral was at the hall. She left a couple of kids. The spoke of the resurrection hope

ExB the beauty of JWLITE after this month’s broadcast AGM is who can take what you like and leave what you don’t like. You can repent last min if JWs are even slightly correct about their interpretation of the Bible.

Yes you can cheat your tax returns and do shoplifting as you say, I’m sure if you do those things you will be doing a lot of other things that are morally wrong and illegal.

JWlite means you can hide all these things and even if you did get found out about just say your sorry

Women in JW Ministry

by NotFormer in

women make up the main population of the kingdom halls, and the pool of young males willing to step up to "serve" is drying up.

what is the likelihood of "new light" on jw women in ministry roles formerly held only by males?.

It’s already happening. Sisters doing microphone and sound.

The big change was in the OD book only baptised brother or sister can do these things. They thought this would get more to get baptised but it didn’t work.

the order is first baptised brothers but if there are not enough then baptised sisters. If there are not enough baptised sisters then unbaptised brothers can but it’s rare that there are not enough baptised sisters.

Most young ones brought up by parents in the congregation just don’t want to get baptised when they understand what there have to lose if they don’t follow the rules. Once hormones kick in they certainly don’t want to get baptised

Why is the Faithful Slave Now Admitting Ignorance?

by Vanderhoven7 in

dbm writes on the question: will sodomites get a resurrection?.

i guess it depends the date that you asked this question.

here is a screenshot from a video which gives an overview of the changes (new light) on this question:.

I disagree about not wanting Armageddon to happen.

This world is so messed up now you can’t just stick your head in the sand. There is so much misery and suffering perhaps far more so than other times in history.

What this world needs is a huge reset, it may be hard but necessary. All the evil people gone and then a new type of ruler ship that has never been tried before theocratic rule.

Im agnostic so maybe the Bibles promises will come true maybe not but I hope the Bible is the word of God and it turns out to be true

Great teacher it’s a shame you say that but this is your choice, if there is a Creator and the Bible is his word then it says he has given us all a choice.

You do know it is a wager that you are taking by choosing not to take Pascal’s wager? You are taking a wager whatever choice you make even if apathetic.

I choose to take Pascal’s wager and live JWLITE life staying physically in but making damn sure there are zero disadvantages to my wager.

You have to ask yourself are there disadvantages to the wager you are choosing?

Muslims are dying ten to one for every Jew in this way.

It’s playing out exactly like the JWs say, they say king of the North Russia and it’s allies mainly China and Muslim nations are are the ones who turned on Gods people and the work is banned.

USA and UK are king of the South and they definitely sided with the Jews.

What comes next according to JW is the government’s make religion illegal

and JWs are the o kh ones who will not stop

I don’t know how that is supposed to work

Israel vs Hamas

by Riley in

we might have russians involved in the middle east and are attacking israel.. wait.. i thought the watchtower and tract society was the central figures in the end times.

.

not that i believe in any of this nonsense but any news in jw world about how the evangelical narrative might be playing out closer than the wts stupidity.

Apostacy!!!

i intend to show with this article that the man of lawlessness is the anti-christ and that the activity of this composite person is what constitutes the abomination of desolation.

this shows the anti-christ and the man of lawlessness to be one and the same composite person.

we have seen that the anti-christ exalts himself {not appointed by god} then we learned that the man of lawlessness takes his seat in the temple of god.

Not sure where to post this, we went to a JW wedding and there were lots of disfellowshipped family members

the elders said as long as they respect the arrangement and don’t try to talk to people!

that is ridiculous as they don’t agree with the arrangement and of course they will talk to people

they try to normalise this absurd behaviour but who are the GB to say family members can’t talk to each other at weddings or funerals

the situation has gotten very serious I wish rank and file would start ignoring the GB on the real stupid direction
