Jehovah's Witness core Doctrine has changed over time. Has Dogma changed?
by TerryWalstrom infirst things first!let us define our terms: doctrine and dogma.doctrine: a codification of beliefs, taught principles, or positions.
dogma a set of principles laid down by an authority (in this case, the governing body, acting as the faithful slave of christ) as incontrovertibly true.
_____in the catholic church, dogma never changes but doctrines have over time.this sets me to wondering.

Commuter Bethelite video
by no-zombie infor those who missed last weeks clam meeting, there was a video played that was amazing ... however not in good way.. we are all aware how thousands of full time bethelites world wide got the boot and put out onto the street.
some having giving most of their lives to the organization, but often with no real way to support themselves other than to depend on the generosity of others.
so when this video talked about how special it would be for those who could step up and become a commuter bethelite, it made me think how calculating the governing body must be.

The latest prophetic prediction! You heard it here first
by stuckinarut2 inok, so it’s not a jw prophetic prediction, but one from our “cousins” the mormons (or as the latest president of their church russel m nelson prefers ‘the church of jesus christ of latter day saints’).
i reckon they will drop their ban on caffeine soon.
they will change their long held beliefs about tea and coffee being wrong.. watch this space!
