  you heard me correct, this is not a joke, and it is not april fools day!

  the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

  summary: .

  I have a crick in my neck from shaking my head side to side. With Norway and Spain, it was a matter of time that these changes would happen. I just didn't think they would happen so soon.

  The Reasoning Book

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the book reasoning from the scriptures was released in the 1980's, and it was used at virtually every meeting for service, every service meeting, and every theocratic ministry school meeting thereafter.

  many jws had copies bound together with their bibles.

  it was huge in jw land back then.. at that time, with the reasoning book, jws were trained to keep conversations going in spite of objections, to almost stick their feet in people's doors to keep conversations going, to defend "the truth," to argue doctrine, etc.. compare the situation today with that of the 80's.

  'm sure many JWs kept the Reasoning book hidden in their Bibles so they could look at it without alerting the householder to the fact that they were just parroting Watchtower statements.

  Yes Ding they did. I know of pioneers that had the reasoning book bound to their bible

  The reasoning book was the holy grail. You never left home without it. I was pioneering during all the 80's In your service case the reasoning book took priority. Now it's discarded like the piece of shite that it really was. I see from the website that it's available online.

  For a long time , the gb has been prepping/grooming the rank and file that there will be changes coming that we may not agree on. I believe that this will be the next big change. It's in the works but they haven't rolled it out completely but its coming.

  Prior to the JW affiliation with the UN, many of us would never have believed it. Well, it was true.

  I never thought I would see the day they would accept beards and remove the reporting and yet here we are.

  The 1914 doctrine is not sustainable , 607 is a made up year , it has to be eliminated.

  This is an evil, pragmatic organization that is looking out for its own existence and they will stop at nothing. They will trample their own doctrines to survive.

  I can remember hearing a talk, by Glen Howe from the Canadian Branch about all the victories the dubs were winning in courts. Those days are gone bye bye.

  I bet this piece of news wont be on on the "breaking news" on the website.

  THIS is how Jehovah operates? Examining GB Jefffrey Winder's words

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  governing body member jeffrey winder on jw dot org:“we are not embarrassed about ‘adjustments’ that are made; nor is an apology needed for not getting it ‘exactly right’ previously.

  we understand: this is how jehovah operates.”

  1952 no wt 6/1/52 p.338 1965 maybe they will be resurrected .

  https://cne.news/article/3755-norwegian-jehovah-s-witnesses-demand-subsidy-despite-their-loss-of-religious-status.

  jesus never demanded "subsidies" from the government to share truth.

  wtbt$ leaders love the god of their bellies/selfishdesires - having others provide communes for them in opposition to christ's direction.. .
