  JW Expanded Volunteer Activities?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think the gb needs to expand publishers' volunteer activities beyond door knocking.. gb has shifted away from door-knocking to more varied forms of witnessing and no longer counting time for publishers.

  my prediction is that the gb will start encouraging jws to participate in broader community volunteer efforts: clean-up drives, food banks, senior citizen support, and other non-proselytizing activities.

  this move could help them gain goodwill with government agencies and the public.. expanding volunteer activities could significantly shift how jws are perceived by the wider community.

  There's a Biblical basis they could use, as Paul said there are different types of ministries.

  The "10 Year Plan" - What is the realistic outcome?

  by redsetter2 in

  1. watchtower

  as there has been some discussion calling bs on this topic, .

  i will paste the text from my 10 year plan post and i will critically evaluate how i feel things will turn out.

  i will add bold italics my thoughts.. the governing body has a 10-year marketing plan to remodel the organization to become closer to a mainstream christian religion.

  Hilarious how this 'insider' is doubling down on these theories while at the same time backpedaling and hoping nobody will notice. Present Truth, amiright?

  June 2024 WT: Don't talk about Anthony Morris

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the latest study edition mentions hypothetical scenarios of jws who are no longer serving at bethel or no longer elders, etc.

  and says we shouldn't speculate, as defaming them could border on slander.. we could unintentionally defame someone by spreading negative information.

  ..... would it be proper to speculate on the reasons why these adjustments were made and to share that opinion with others?.

  One brother kept trying to bring up in group conversation that he knew where Morris was moved to, but nobody took the bait. I was kind of frustrated for him but couldn't out myself.

  Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? The recent changes and the Governing Body's 10 year plan

  by redsetter2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am sure we were all shocked at the governing body update #2 with the unusual and impulsive changes set forth.. i am an insider at whq, and when i was on reddit and in communication with avoidjw i explained to the best of my ability that the approach on disfellowshipping was going to change based on the new light at the 2023 agm, that the jubilee rumor was false, and there were going to be changes on how jws approached disfellowshipping in response to the norway situation if it didn't turn out in watchtower's favor.

  the decision came because of a legal blow to watchtower, not because "holy spirit" wad directing a faithful slave, who is going to become the "evil slave", more explanation on this soon.. everything i stated came true.

  i left reddit exjw community due to the immature and mentally unstable nature there, and yet as has been the case my words came true.

  It's actually pretty scary how many users here are even mildly accommodating to this poster.

  Your heart may be in the right place FR7, but the sooner you realize JWs simply aren't special, for good OR for bad, and you don't have to spin their own pseudo-biblical antitype rhetoric against them, the sooner you'll finally wake up.

  Sorry but the OP's obviously full of it. Even if he was some 'insider' he doesn't have a clue. It is a hilarious fanfiction though:

  private consensual intimacy and sex between adults of the opposite sex will be a conscience matter, as long as vaginal sex and pregnancy is not involved and as long as the activities are not broadcast openly to other members of the congregation. If a married person is involved, they must receive permission from their spouse
  ....
  The Faithful Slave will soon refer to all Christians "taking the lead" in the Organization, not referring to solely anointed Christians. The Evil Slave may refer to the Governing Body of today in the event legal issues cause them to completely disband
  ....
  The memorial of Christ's death will no longer be observed by all of Jehovah's Witnesses, only the "anointed".

  New rules for dress & greeting disfellowshipped: It's even worse!

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know they're panicking and trying to gain favor with governments, former members, prospective converts & those who are teetering, all for financial worries.

  still, the latest update in some ways made things worse, and if there's any jws watching it who are beginning to wake up it should be very disturbing.. starting with dress codes: they say that suits, ties & skirts are no longer required, but in so doing they admit that they were required, something not often appearing as an explicit command in print.

  (similar to how lett referred to the "policy on beards" in his video, even though this direct policy wasn't made available to rank and file.

  what about a brother who wears a sweater to the meeting and then gets asked to volunteer to do a part

  Exactly. This 'relaxing' of the rules is really making things more rule-focused & will lead to issues like this as long as there is that double standard for the stage.

  nothing was said about Sisters™ being allowed to wear pant suits or slacks to the KH or other JW functions

  Pants are a go on everything except giving a part on stage.
