8Prediction: I think the Blood Policy is about to change.
by underground ini’d like to start out by saying this is my opinion.. i believe that the organisation is about to make blood transfusions in any form a conscience matter.. they will still ban the eating of blood.. they will gaslight everyone by talking about how it is so much safer now.
and will say something along the lines of how our stance protected us from the aids crisis etc.. and i believe this change is going to happen before the annual meeting 2024.. i think the annual meeting will announce they are scrapping the midweek meeting and instead we get to watch a streamed talk at home through a revamped website similar to the way netflix works.. obviously take my opinion with a hefty pinch of salt..

Update changes well received
by Gorb ina few weeks later, the witness that i speak, family and friends are very happy with the recent changes .. no one mentions the df aproach change, fieldservice report and free entrance to the paradise for non jw.. only the clothing style and beard are mentioned.. the sisters are all in a halaluja happy modes.
they are feeling being respected and heard by the lovely leadership.. one brother told me he will never grow a beard because he lost his elder status in the early 90's because of his beard.
now it's allowed i will not grow a beard he sweared.. it seems jw.org has down a great change job.

Is the Governing Body Apostate?
by Vanderhoven7 inmark jones writes:.
actually, it was “love for jehovah” and a desire to “remain loyal to him” that made me leave the jehovah’s witness “religion”.. gradually, it became very clear to me that the organization does not represent jehovah.
if anything, it had become apostate.

I heard the story that a brother overhere in the 70's DF'ed the Governing Body.
The result of that was an open door...

The Memorial and my thoughts.
by Truth and Justice inno matter what opinions you may have, the memorial is very important to us.
many are opposed to the way the organization performs the memorial because of restrictive rules as to who should partake.
as jesus said in scripture, "keep doing this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

Thanks all for the reactions. We came into the hall with a friendly smile and left with questions and some disapointment. Was this the religion of our youth?!?
We, a PoMo family, have peace of mind, joy and hapiness. Our children are happy, friendly, logical and such a great open mind characters. My wife and I have the friendly smile and peace in mind. We don't have the rules and regulations. And the changes about field service, beards, clothing style and DF had no impact on us. Jo Publisher and his family seems realy depressed. The Caleb and Sophie's seems not happy anymore. Remember the saying that people outside the organization live in "a mist". I think the mist clouds are in the hall now.

It's not about 1, 2 or 3 meetings today. The flock lost the joy, and a beard and pants will not change it.

A moment I always think, could I go back into this religion?
We entered the hall and some said a short hello. And with short I say short. Most of them said nothing. A few beards and no sisters in business fashion.
This year our conclusion was the lack of joy of the local witnesses. They are old, or looked old, sad and have no smile anymore. If it was the funeral of a near relative. The children in the hall looked so sad.
We are so proud of our own children, no jw upbringing but always a smile and happy. Logical thinking and never complains.
Never saw such a lack of joy in the hall, what would be a sign of christianity. if this is the weekly reality there are serious problems for the organization.

Blue Ocean
by Freeorange inthere’s a term in the corporate / business world known as blue ocean strategy.
the basic gist of it is to stop wasting time in your small, dwindling pool of current customers when there’s a wide open ocean of untapped customers out there.
to achieve this leap is to adapt or transition to a more appealing package of your current business model to attract the masses.

What I Remember From The Past...
by titch infolks: regarding all the recent changes about dis-fellowshipping and time for re-instatement.
(and, even speaking to persons who are dis-fellowshpped.
) back in 1972, a new book was released at the summer district convention, that replaced the yellow-colored "lamp": book.

It's not the religion of my youth years (70's / 80's), anymore.
The 70's, I remember the joy my parents had within the congregation. Party's, holidays and social events all together.
I remember the early 80's, the gray cloudy doctrinal years following 1975.
Then the stirring up with the You can live for ever book. We would never die in this system.
Then the early 90's when the world changed, east and west came together and the watchtower society became more liberal with a doctrinal mess, changes made by the new governing body with Henschel and Jaracs.
The 1995 generation change was the end of my believe. I saw the bigger picture with some good higher educated friends. Became PiMo without knowing it.
The 00's became the years of my strugle. Became PoMo in 2008. Since then better then ever.
At the end of this term, the governing body became hosts of jw broadcasting. And it became clear they are full of nonsense.
Now, in the 20's, seeing jw.org strugling with some odd changes. It's all about their long term survival and the legal and financial position.
Things will never change.
So, I think the early 70's were the best years. And the light variant of jw.org now, is not bad for the more liberal witness.
Looking back I have some sad moments about it, it could have be nice, but it became all a hugh disapointment.
