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
today i discovered the musical highlight of jehovah's witnesses, recently added to jw.org.
we had "from house to house, from door to door", but this song will be more famous!

“freeing” Shelly Miscavige. The LAPD already conducted a welfare check and she told them she wasn’t being held hostage
A simple web search will reveal plenty of claims of corrupt links between Scientology and LAPD.
people who work with children in england will be legally required to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans.. .
the move - which is subject to a consultation - was recommended last year by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa).. .
the home secretary told the bbc she wanted to correct one of the "biggest national scandals".. .
At last Ms Braverman has done something seemingly useful. At least the subject is in the public domain for now.
As for watchtower, how long before they join in the consultation demanding any legislation includes clergy-penitent privilege for them?
they are not just going to be "joint kings and priests," oh no, because the latest washtowel is sneakily implying that they will be "joint kings and high priests.
october 2023 study watchtower p. 28, par.
13 - "after jesus was resurrected, he entered the most holy of the spiritual temple, where all the anointed eventually join him.".
Equality with Christ, you say? When His ministry lasted what, a few years, and those humble brothers taking the lead have been faithfully serving for decades?

Since we are talking about views, here’s a tweet of him bragging about his convention rebuttal views in 2020.
A certain unlisted video is at 75k and counting. All views are good for the algorithm, eh.
putting this under "friends" because i couldn't figure out where to put it.
it is very often on here and in ex jw videos, ect that people like to undermine some of those who once we would have called friends.
there seems to be a view that window washers, plumbers, cleaners, construction workers are somehow less intelligent than those who may be college educated.
The issue is when the window washers, janitors, plumbers etc put on monkey suits and presume expertise in fields far removed from theirs.
I'll take lessons in window cleaning from someone whose profession it is. But I may fact check him on archaeology, history, physics and medicine.
atheist scientists now agree that "elasmotherium sibiricu" lived with humans.
all they had to do was read their bible to know that.
job 39:9 “will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?”.
It's the KJV which mentions unicorns, not the Hebrew Bible.
And by the way, the rhinoceros still exists!
any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?
