  Jehovah's Witness Governing Body, (New Light Division) Are Vegetable Oils not more important than Beards?

  by was a new boy in

  'use vegetable oil and soft margarine in place of animal fat,'.

  https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101997444?q=vegetable+oil&p=par.

  'when possible, cook with unsaturated vegetable oils.'.

  “A recent book on religion in the United States notes: Christian leaders have regularly revised their teachings to match the beliefs and opinions gaining support among their members and in the larger society."

  This is so true. When margarine was promoted as better than butter this is what the direction was from Jehovah.

  we must never ever forget that the direction from Jehovah was to replace butter with margarine. How can the so called faithful and discrete slave not apologise for this madness 😡

  When you look at how much they have been wrong about since the 1800s and they have never ever admitted or apologised for anything. They are unlikely to start now.

  That was the case in the past but things have changed to such an extent now.

  In congregations that we are familiar with most of us feel we love the Bibles promises and certainly have hope that they have some truth to them.

  We so want the Bibles promises to be true and talk as if we have no doubt but we all do have doubts about JW interpretations.

  These days JWs are openly talking about 1914 is probably not true, birthdays doctrine may have new light soon and shunning will have an updated understanding ect.

  As long as you can’t be accused of causing division in the congregation then you can openly express doubts about the governing body.

  The vaccine is the best example of this as now most people know that it was not safe or effective which means the governing body got it wrong and they were the ones causing divisions as they should have stayed neutral

  I had this thought: if you have to pretend to be something you are not in order to have friends

  Jwlite is not pretending to be something you are not. You can be honest with select ones that you love the Bibles promises but still don’t know what you believe. You can have hope the Bible is true. Things have changed so much that those who have been out a long time don’t know what the org is actually like these days.

  Jehovah changes directions in ''field service hours'' resonsibilty and assignments

  these expressions of god’s will by his king and through his established agency constitute his law or rule of action for the “faithful and wise servant” and for their goodwill companions today who will dwell upon the earth for ever in the new world.

  Yeah, they be "weasels" and charlatans, and liars. Saying Jehovah directed them to insist on counting hours all these decades and now Jehovah is directing them to stop? Why would Jehovah do this? Or it’s a man made organisation lying

  Yes either Jehovah gave out false light or the GB of past times were the evil slave class? Or the entire thing is just humans making things up and keep changing things and lying saying it’s Jehovah

  Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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?

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
