  What if the Watchtower Changed .......

  by IslandWoman in

  if the watchtower changed it's blood doctrine to one where publishers could do what their conscience dictated without fear of reprisals from the brothers, if they also quit using the two witness rule and said all criminal accusations must be reported to the police, if they stopped shunning, if they said all df and da'd could associate with their friends and family, if they apologized to ray franz and all others who were hurt by their policies; would exjws respect their dogma and refrain from putting down their religious beliefs to their faces?.

  this is an important question, more important than you know.

  Just to clarify, is the argument that this is a period of ferment at Bethel and within the organization similar to that of the late seventies and that good things are going to come out of this ferment? Were there good things for the r & f that followed from the disfellowshipping of Franz et al?

  Well, I, too, am touched by the terminally shy sister who called you to say she was now motivated to reach out to members of the congregation who are having a real time. I hope it doesn't get her a shepherding call from the elders!

  I guess this varies from Congregation to Congregation? So that in some, if you stop attending meetings, stop going door to door, you are sort of out of sight, out of mind? But in other congregations, if you stop attending meetings you'll get a visit or a phone call "encouraging you" to return? Or does it have to do with your position in the org?

  Did you ever get any response from anyone else? The tv person or the religion editor? Or anyone in the congregation?

  I wonder if CofC is available on tape? It's been translated into a lot of languages so it would make sense for it to be on tape. Anyway, another excellent read is James Penton's Apocalypse Denied. Like Franz, Penton was a third generation JW from Canada. Only problem with both of them is that Penton's last update was in 1998 and Franz's was, I think, 2000, so they offer no insight's on the major reorganization of 2000.
