I agree with FFGhost above. This doctrine change is probably the largest in my lifetime, even bigger than the "Generation" changes.
Every single JW that was a hardcore, time-counting, "Good JW" will 100% think that about that scenario above, about how the weak-ass JW's who did whatever the hell they wanted can just get right in line to be "Saved" at the last moment. That is really, really, REALLY infuriating, and also completely negates the "Hailstone message".
It also takes away something for the "Good JW's" to look forward to. How so? Well the ones that sacrificed every damn thing in their lives for this cult, were absolutely 100% looking forward to seeing these scummy, weak-ass JW's and worldly people destroyed during the GT and the Big A. Now, they get to see them pull a last-minute "Opps! I messed up, I repent and accept that WatchTower was right all along! Hallelujah I'm saved!!!!" And then stroll right into the Paradise with a grin and a smirk.
Yeah, there's going to be a lotta chapped asses and PIMI's waking up from THIS change! It is MIND-BLOWING for anyone who's sacrificed for this cult for any amount of time. (like their entire childhood and 20's, 30's, the best years of one's life)
This is NOT the religion I was raised in. This is so far removed from the 1980's that is basically become an Apostate parody of itself. If you could hop in Doc Brown's time-machine DeLorean with an iPad filled with this current GB's nonsense (Splane's Generation chart, anyone?) and go back to the year 1984 and show a Congregation of JW's what 2024 is like, they'd run your ass right out of the KH, probably throwing old green bibles at your head.
