If the org. Is being advised by consultants, is a name change in the works?

by nowwhat? in

let's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.

if they are going more mainstream.

i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.

Biblestudents was not bad at all.

Rutherford made a sect of it.

A Positive Approach to discussing the changes - Gov Body Update Aftermath

by Jehalapeno in

so, just got off a very emotional, but positive call with my father.. this past weekend, he wanted to give me a call, but i was out of town at a wedding, so he said he'd call me later in the week.. he texted me the governing body update video with the recent changes and said, "i thought you might be interested in some of the changes that were just announced.".

i'm tired of self-censorship, so i decided to reply as truthfully and respectfully as i could.. my reply to him:.

it's interesting.

I have these kind of conversations with my father. Nice to see your respect!

GB Update #2, March 2024: Women allowed to wear pants, no ties/coats required if not giving a talk, & now able to greet DF ones in the KH!

by WingCommander in

jw
friends

you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!

the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

summary: .

Gorb

Asking what the 4 generation before me in the family line would think about these changes:

- non jw believers will survive Armageddon (wow!)

- field service not requierd (do something and cross the box)

- beards (this said something about someone spiritual growth)

- no jacket and tie (no respect for regulations!)

- sisters in trousers (who is the boss?!?)

- say hallo to DF persons (wwhat???)

This would be enough to DF the GB in their opinion.

Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? The recent changes and the Governing Body's 10 year plan

by redsetter2 in

i am sure we were all shocked at the governing body update #2 with the unusual and impulsive changes set forth.. i am an insider at whq, and when i was on reddit and in communication with avoidjw i explained to the best of my ability that the approach on disfellowshipping was going to change based on the new light at the 2023 agm, that the jubilee rumor was false, and there were going to be changes on how jws approached disfellowshipping in response to the norway situation if it didn't turn out in watchtower's favor.

the decision came because of a legal blow to watchtower, not because "holy spirit" wad directing a faithful slave, who is going to become the "evil slave", more explanation on this soon.. everything i stated came true.

i left reddit exjw community due to the immature and mentally unstable nature there, and yet as has been the case my words came true.

Gorb

With this GB and these times, everything can happen.

How will the older rank and file react?

I would need this information, so were to get? The grapevine? Ask the elders for details?

This is a missing link in the proces.

Explain the Anthony Morris thing to me

by optimisticskeptic in

ok, so can someone explain with relative brevity what the anthony morris thing is all about.

i certainly don't miss the guy but would like as valid of an explanation as possible without a bunch of paranoid conspiracies that no one can verify.

as best as i can tell from cryptic comments on here is he is no longer on the gb but in a congregation in the carolinas somewhere.

Gorb

We can understand now, why AMIII has left the GB. The curent changes are made months ahead. He was against.

Lawsuits for shunning for decades

by jehovaxx in

now they suddenly examine the context of these scriptures and have come to the conclusion that it only applies to apostates and those who continue in serious sin???????.

there are families torn apart by their shunning policies and some have said the gb are wrong and these scriptures only apply to those carrying on in serious sin?

but no for the last several decades families have been ripped apart for lifelong shunning just because some don’t want to be jws anymore.. the lawsuits that are to come will not make up for life long relationships being ruined.

Gorb

The jw corporations are well protected for at least 25 years by the legal teams.

Lawsuits don't make a change.

New light

by Elena in

things are changing so rapidly.

there is so much confusion now.. if we can talk to disfellowshiped/disassociated ones to invite them to meetings then is it really going to stop there?.

some family members haven’t had contact for decades and now after yesterdays new light they will all be getting calls.

Gorb

It's all Legal.
