  Watchtower May 2024 Who is being referred to as 'we'?

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is the magazine that presents some of the 'new light' from the oct. 2023 annual meeting.

  it discusses some of the things they have now decided they don't know and revised some of the things they do know, or think they know.

  when they start discussing some of the things they do know, most of them are still guesses and they use qualifiers.

  Since 20 years ago, there is a story that Watchtower hired a branding firm for long term strategy.

  The GB are not the men in charge, only parrots. I think more about a deep state connection. Jw.org could be taken over for gouvernement reasons.

  The Reasoning Book

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the book reasoning from the scriptures was released in the 1980's, and it was used at virtually every meeting for service, every service meeting, and every theocratic ministry school meeting thereafter.

  many jws had copies bound together with their bibles.

  it was huge in jw land back then.. at that time, with the reasoning book, jws were trained to keep conversations going in spite of objections, to almost stick their feet in people's doors to keep conversations going, to defend "the truth," to argue doctrine, etc.. compare the situation today with that of the 80's.

  And now, jw's don't know anything admit this.
