  yes, it's true, geoffrey jackson, the cleverest member of the governing body, is going apostate.. he's already written two scholarly books, the question is .... when is his third book going to be released!!.....

  desirousofchange: "faded" is definitely only an "apostate" term.

  i don't know of it being used by wt publications or "in the dark" jwsberrygerry: geoff jackson used it during the arc..

  He was also seen in a video about the new song book shown at the Annual Meeting which was probably recorded fairly recently.

  Isn't it about time they renamed themselves "The Watchtower Building and Tract (of land) Society"?

  To beard or not to beard...

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  1. watchtower

  ...that is the question our circuit overseer asked the elders.

  to elaborate, the agenda for the co meeting with the elders had an item about the "beard paragraph" (sept watchtower p21 para 17) which i assumed would be an instruction to not use any with beards on the platform.

  instead he genuinely wanted to know if we would recommend a brother if he had a beard but everything else was ok. he kept pressing until he got 100% saying yes - a beard isn't a problem.

  All or nothing - I am in the UK (I don't want to be any more specific than that)

  Maybe the GB are preparing the way to invite Cedars to join them

  The funny thing is that he is a recent CO and is the most extreme example of a "company man" I have come across. It may just be that he has been directed to do this and that the beard restriction will be relaxed eventually. The point in the paragraph which he highlighted was where it says "In fact, some appointed brothers have beards" and said it is the first time that has ever appeared in print.

  Also, of course I didn't mean to restrict the discussion to elders - not many of us here!

He seemed to be recording the results as he visits different congregations.

  Any other elders had this? Or is he just just doing it for himself?

  What will happen when they go full cult mode

  by RobertT18 in

  2. beliefs

  and they start delivering their message of judgment?

  what do you think will happen when they start knocking on doors and telling people that their families will be killed in armageddon because they did not believed in jehovah.

  i'm curious how people will react.

  The answer I usually give when asked when I think something will happen is "Within a generation"

  The paragraphs to be crossed out in the elders book are to do with sending information to another congregation. This has pretty much been replaced by "Phone the legal dept"

  BTW, the "real" Saltheart Foamfollower is a character in my favourite novels. "Saltheart" refers to the fact that he loves the sea and "Foamfollower" is a descriptive term for a compass!
