just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

My feelings on this is like what Sansa said to Littlefinger in the episode The Mountain and the Viper as to why she helped him. Actually she didn't say it. I thought she said "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know." Littlefinger said "To gamble on the man you know than the strangers you don't."

We know this world and this system, but we don't know what things will be like in the new system. We just have painted pictures.

Last minute repentance

by inbetween in

while most talk about the end of reporting for publishers, i think the doctrinal change is even bigger.. repentance after start of gt still possible?

what does that mean for the judgement message, they pushed a bit lately?.

will that be really just before armageddon?

"Jesus forgave the criminal next to him on the other torture stake at the last minute."

Did he forgive him? What was there for him to be forgiven from?

He was a human born in sin, just because he was a thief did not make him any different than any other human that broke the 10 commandments.

Jesus said the guy would be resurrected in the kingdom, not because of any forgiveness, but because that was just what the plan was.

"Repentance after start of GT still possible?"

Repentance from what? Being in another religion?

Is that something to repent from?

Time, times and half a time - nerd time

by Anony Mous in

so, the famous 607 calculation to 1914 involves the above prophecy.

the common explanation is that time is one unit, times is an unsubstantiated number of units.. to prove you can make it say any date, we must write it as a formula:.

date = t + nt + 0.5t where n >= 2. so simplified:.

Why is the times of the Gentiles discussed on a Jehovah's Witness board as if discussing it will change history and God's plan?

It's like these ever recurring topics of beards and birthdays.

Why would people even want the end to come in 1975? There was too much going on and yet so much more ahead for the future. So yeah, I blame the people for looking to 1975 because there should have been no reason for them to be looking for the kingdom to come. The future of this system looked so bright from 1975 and on.

List of main points from 2023 AGM

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

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.

Rattigan350

I don't get it.

Many of you have described the governing body as cold and robotic and out of touch.

But yet user Jw gone bad criticizes the Annual meeting because they put humor in there and laughed with the audience.

There is no pleasing any of you. Whatever they do, you won't like it.

Did Anyone Have Fun With Their Field Service Reports?

now that there is new light on reporting hours in field service, it's raised a few questions for me, who was never in the jws.

did any of you ever have fun with the field service report slips, by finding creative ways of reporting time without raising suspicions in those who oversaw the collection of those slips?.

also, can anyone upload an image of what the slips looked like, or point me to a post that gives uploaded examples of the sort of paperwork that was familiar to jws in good standing?.

Turn the field service reports at the beginning of the month with the numbers already filled in.
