dbm writes on the question: will sodomites get a resurrection?.
i guess it depends the date that you asked this question.
here is a screenshot from a video which gives an overview of the changes (new light) on this question:.
Oh no! They took away our fantasy of revenge on the whole world, cheated us of delivering a hard-hitting judgement message, but at least we can still be dogmatic about not being dogmatic!
Brothers, let us all set a half-hourly alarm to remind us to check jw.org before making any statement about anything. Just in case...
rattigan350, whenever someone brings up the failings of the organisation we refer to as "the watchtower", tries to define the argument away by saying that the watchtower is a corporate entity and has very little to do with the kingdom halls, the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses.. could someone who knows their stuff please explain if this is a false dichotomy, using the literature which is used by r&f jws, if possible?.
it gets kind of tiresome when someone makes a point about something that the watchtower said and mr. apologist comes along and tries to define away what is usually a very good point..
In other words, any one of the individual heads of this beast can deny responsibility for anything the beast says or does.
self-aware npc has an upload that the ""top-secret"' elders only secret boxes is a drum roll here......a new brochure.....ta dahhhh🤪.
i mean how more dramatic can we get..
Did I miss something?
Wasn't the product unveiled by Mark Sanderson called 'Love People Make Disciples'
and not 'Love Jehovah make Disciples' as had been leaked?
link to article .
a spanish court ordered the newspaper to publish the reply of the jehovah’s witnesses to a defamatory 2022 article.
the court found the newspaper has been fed false information by an association of disgruntled former witnesses and has uncritically published it.. .
Good old Massimo Introvigne aka 'Dracula boy' collecting another watchtower paycheck.
wt 2013 11/15 p. 20. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.
all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. wt feb 2017.
"the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
1. The governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
2. When it meets together as the 'faithful slave', it is directed by the Holy Spirit.
3. The Holy Spirit is therefore responsible for errors in doctrinal matters or organisational direction.
as soon as you see steve letts talk at the agm you think to yourself “oh my, what’s happened to him?.
his hand has plasters and his skin doesn’t look healthy, like he has inflammation or something serious going on.. he had put on weight and is all bloated and puffy .
his skin really doesn’t look good, the kind of inflammation many people notice after the experimental covid vaccines.. there have been very high numbers of people reported inflammation after the experimental covid vaccines.
We see here some truly 'special' pioneers! How about a slow handclap for their urgent, life saving message...
1. doctrinal changes how new light comes about.
the gb raise questions then talk about it, unless it’s unanimous they wait, then years later talk again if it’s unanimous it then gets announced as new light.. 2. the gb are imperfect and sometimes make mistakes.
they are not to apologise or even admit they were wrong.
Both the change to reporting time, and the softening of the teaching about resurrection, would have been sticking points if Tony Morris was still around, I think.
So the explanation of how the governing body operates was quite timely, although they missed out the part about what happens if a vote is almost unanimous but there's this one board member who keeps standing in the way of progress...
so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

I wonder if any of this has anything to do with AM3's resignation/removal
I think that's exactly it. This change, and others, would not have got the unanimous vote while Tony Morris had a say.
hi all.. i've posted this in humour given that most of jw doctrine changes and flip flops are just so.. as stated, if there is now to be a 'last minute redemption'.what happens to the aforementioned folk?.
cannot wait for a explane-ation.
am i the only one giggling at this??
This softening up may bring the official teaching more along the lines of what most jws actually seem to believe, certainly what they would tell outsiders if asked.
But, oh boy, Jehovah's chariot may be running away with itself - if everyone gets a chance of being saved in the end, what exactly is the hard-hitting judgment message?
looks like we can expect a kinder, gentler jehovah and jesus during the great tribulation.
the door will not be closed to all non jws at the start of the tribulation.
but will have time to repent after false religion is destroyed.
Maybe they haven't thought this far ahead yet, but waiting to get baptised at next year's convention may not work at the literal end of days
