A family member told me as of Jan everything is changing. ANd they are so glad because they were getting so bored with it and Jehovah must have known and inspired the GB to make all these changes so it's more interesting.

It's not the same religion anymore.
by punkofnice inthat was a quote from a dyed in the wool jw recently.
it was a complaint.. we all know that with 'new light(tm)' that the watchtower corporation's version of 'religion' has kept changing for a long time.
since i remember.....and i go back a long way too.

If you really read in context, in interlinear, etc, and take notice of key scriptures in the OT and NT that are generally ignored, a few possibilities of hidden teachings/revelations about God, Jesus, etc.
1. YHWH in OT is Jesus, but YHWH himself is a son or the son of the father. YHWH 'inherited' Israel. This would explain why people had seen YHWH in OT but Jesus said no man has nor could ever see the father and yet live.
2. YHWH possibly same as above scenario but not the only son, other sons too, who inherited other nations, but all had fights and disagreements on how to rule over people. (evidence would be in Ps when YHWH is in the council of the most high and seems to be disagreeing and disputing over how others are ruling and judging people)
3. YHWH in many instances of the OT was not actually YHWH, but an imposter, this is why in Isaiah and first martyr stephen says they weren't serving God those 40 years in wilderness but forgot the name another entity and his star.
4. YHWH in many instances in OT, especially when seemingly very brutal and merciless was the angel that carried YHWH name/authority, that YHWH said would be sent before Israel after they worshipped the golden calf and to be CAREFUL TO OBEY HIM, a warning that he was not forgiving and extremely strict.
5. If the above is true, taken with what Isaiah and Stephen said, either he was authorized or after having that power became corrupt.
6. From what prophet Jeremiah said, combined w/ things in Isaiah, and while in wilderness the orders the Israelites given to make sacrifices, cakes, etc, then in Jeremiah and Isaiah, Jeremiah says its the 'queen of the heavens' they are worshipping and not God, and in Isaiah what sounds like a loving, caring entity who says the sacrifices and rituals he did not command and asking why they are doing such things and when Jesus says the father of the jews or pharasees is Satan........who is leading them?
There are a few more but they get even more complex to try to explain.

Anthony Morris's talk about beards and facial hair
by EndofMysteries ini just found an archive of one of anthony morris's talks back from 1916, (yes the man is that old), about facial hair.
obviously he recycles his talks as it will sound very similar to a recent rant of his!
"it's in america, and it's in europe, they have the metrosexual look.

Beth - is there even a picture of Rutherford ever having a beard or did Rutherford never even have one? But I think he imposed it for his own personal taste and like everything else he wrote, whatever he said was not from him but from Jesus or God himself and to be obeyed as such! -

Nope, if he was alive then, that would have been his talk, remember Russell and those in that time had beards. But Rutherford jumped onto the clean shaven 'trend'. And suddenly facial hair was bad. Also shows the hypocrisy and backwards thinking of his condemnation of 'tight pants' but acceptance of clean shaven lol. I think even down to today it's frowned upon even though, at least in my area, clean shaven is becoming a minority. The beard is back! -

"It's in America, and it's in Europe, they have the metrosexual look. It's becoming very popular. It's not new, but what's new is it's becoming so very popular. What it means is teens and grown men are both shaving off all of their facial hair, it's called "clean shaven" or "clean cut". Beard, mustache, all gone with just the hair on the head remaining.
It's not that you don't groom your facial hair to fit your physique, that's fine. That's what Max and I do. What's wrong is shaving it all off. It's not appropriate for a Christian man. And frankly I'm puzzled by this, I've asked sister after sister, "Does this look good"? ANd I haven't had one yet who could say yes. And I have been saying this from the start, the homosexuals who start this trend, they like you looking more feminine.
I was proud of one circuit overseer, who told me this past summer at an international convention, cuz he brought it up, one of these fellas shows up for his circuit overseer visit, and he wants to go out in the ministry, work with him door to door, and his face is hairless! And the circuit overseer was man enough, spirital man enough, to say, "No! I'm not going door to door with you! Mm mm. Not with that hairless face. Inappropriate. You're a man, grow a beard! So a lot to think about. And you elders out there listening in....and be kind now! We always wanna imitate Christ Jesus. Jesus himself had a beard, and is he not the example to follow?! Infact can you think of ONE faithful bible character past puberty who had ever shaved their face? No. Infact shaving began in ancient Egypt it was a rebellion and rejection of how Jehovah God created a man to look and we should stay far away from those pagan practices!
And do you remember that many, many, many homosexuals are in the trend industry and start the trends. Don't you know they love it when you're clean cut? Oh yeah, you chuckle. I don't think it's funny. I think it's disgusting!"

JW Elder Lawsuit Update: AAWA Fliers are Illegal and Uncle claims he is "Going to Kill us in Court"!
by ReligionOfHatred inhi, my uncle made the first move by taking my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa(all in good jws in standing and non have put out anti-jw fliers or speech), that's who he is taking to court.
i have left the organization but than again, i was only a unbaptized publisher.
my grandma (whom i love so dearly was shocked to learn "i am not going to marry a pioneer and i don't want anything to do with any pro-jw females, i feel this religion is one of the most hateful religions mankind has seen).

Here's what I got from OP's post.
Some mumbo jumbo about his uncle who is an ex jw suing his family for absolutely no mention of any reason other then some AAWA signs are somewhere in the mix. Then suddenly he has 2 uncles, and one that threatened to kill somebody. One of the uncles made threats or attacked people who molested. And everybody is giving the lawyers a lot of money.
In other words, mumbly jibberish.
What does AAWA have to do with this?
Who made AAWA signs?
Who posted them and where?
Who is suing about those signs and what is the reason stated?
Where does molestation fit in to all of this and death threats?
