Many people say GB will soon dump blood doctrine to appear less fanatical. Others saying it is impossible for them to do that because of legal ramifications. I think there is a way that could potentially be solution to those problems. Instead of dumping that whole doctrine, they could say that whole blood transfusions are still forbidden but actually Bible gives no basis to distinguish between 4 main components (fractions if you will) from other smaller fractions and so taking transfusion not containing whole blood would be matter of conscience. In many cases transfusion of one main blood component is sufficient to save life so this new blood doctrine would be much less harmful but at the same time they would avoid admitting that they were completely wrong on this and that would create a loophole in some potential court cases. What do you think, does it make any sense?

New light: the GB are infallible
by AEnEm inamazing new light in the latest morning worship by gary breaux.
the gb "never lie or deceive us.
we can have absolute trust in the governing body".. he then makes a very helpful point, so as to avoid being deceived and avoid lies.

This not that new. In 2020 Gajus Glockentin in talk titled "Protect Yourself From Lies" said exactly the same thing namely to fully trust GB. I remember this because that was something that caught my attention and I even talked to an elder about this.

The guy who posted that sensational news about new lite regarding Jesus ruling not yet is in my opinion a troll looking for attention.
Take a look on his post shortly after annual meeting:.

And this is his recent post about 1914 new light:

Elders testing some promising men by talking like an apostate?
by Person incouple years ago as a promising ms i had some weird conversations with two young elders.
it was always as we where alone only i and the elder.
they would initiate a conversations about things like blood doctrine, celebrating birthdays, view on homosexuality etc.

So like I said either they are incredibly stupid and think that this is great method to proof someone's loyalty to GB (running a risk to stumble serviceable MS) or they just want to destroy this whole circus

Yes I told that to other Elders to see their reaction without saying who it was, and they wasn't interested at all. They cut the conversation immediately.
The point is, I am sure that those two young Elders they where not honest with me. Tey are not PIMO or even. PIMQ. Actually they said that they want me to become an elder So what was their strategy? I don't know.

Couple years ago as a promising MS i had some weird conversations with two young elders. It was always as we where alone only I and the elder. They would initiate a conversations about things like blood doctrine, celebrating birthdays, view on homosexuality etc. They would express their doubts. And then they wanted to know what is my opinion. This among other things attributed to my awakening.
There are people on reddit with similar experiences. One guy even posted that this is common practice even openly discussed on Elder Body meetings. I wonder what you guys think about this? I mean for me it either show that they are completly insane or that they want deliberately destroy this organization from within for some reason.

JW sign is the sacred cow being idolized by the JWs
by enoughisenough inthis video makes valid points and the last pictures in the video says it all imo...i knew witnesses who wore the logo in their jewelry.
the sign represents the organization, so the organization is what is really being worshipped instead of god almighty.

Will the GB Eventually "observe" Tithing?
by Sea Breeze infound this on fb from the recent losch talk.
time for a new business model?.

From wol:
No, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not practice tithing; our work is financed by voluntary donations. What is a tithe, and why don’t Jehovah’s Witnesses practice tithing?
The commandment to tithe, or contribute a tenth of one’s belongings, was part of the Law given to the ancient nation of Israel. However, the Bible makes it clear that this Law—including the “commandment to collect tithes”—does not apply to Christians.—Hebrews 7:5, 18; Colossians 2:13, 14.
So how do you think they could go around this?

I even think it is possible that they knew the plan years ahead. See for example Awake from 2005 22/12. And yes I know Witnesses who are delighted with the actions of GB and at the same time admit that vaccines have damaged their health. So I guess some people won't wake up even if GB told UN represent God's Kingdom...

enough is enough I agree with you, I wonder if GB at some point will tell that there is a New Light about UN and that this is in fact organization that represents God's Kingdom on earth. It would take some more years to prepare rank and file but it seems that they are headed in this direction.
