  Yes it is clear by now he's incapable of producing in depth journalism/reporting on serious issues to do with JWs. He is always late never one of the first. Then he just copied what others have said.

  Lloyd if your reading this you need to realise you have been out for too long now and XJW activist community needs people who understand the organisation.

  Those who have been out for decades still think like the old organisation but they need to realise it’s a completely different organisation these days.

  I would guess than it won’t be all that long until it’s completely changed yet again.

  What the XJW activists need are members still physically in, or just about still in. They can speak in the correct manner about what’s going on.

  Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

  the kingdom hall is still empty.

  even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

  the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

  Yes attending the meeting and ministry groups dark is a growing trend. They can’t stop it because so many elderly and infirm rely on zoom. They can’t police it saying you are well enough to attend in person. If someone says they are not well how can someone tell them they are wrong.

  Yes those on zoom ministry groups don’t do letter writing anymore. They don’t hand out territory like they used to in covid. I think they said something about writing letters to out through not at homes yourself . But nobody really does this as far as I know.

  I have noticed everything getting shorted. When I was young it was about 20 paragraphs that were deep and long winded.

  now it’s written for low IQ people

  A Modest proposal to solve the 1914 problem

  by r51785 in

  1. watchtower

  throughout watchtower history dates have been a problem.

  the usual solution for failed prophetic dates has been to kick the can down the road.

  this needs to be done with 1914. the generation that will never pass away is now 110 years old and therefore is past its useful life span.

  Another proposal to solve the 1914 problems would be to admit the men who thought that up have all died and the current GB have inherited this false doctrine.

  The truth is everything hinges on 1914. Everything. Elders pray in the name of our reigning king Jesus. They teach that Jesus started ruling in 1914, this was when he battled with Satan and the demons and threw him out of heaven.

  I think there is no way they could admit they were wrong about this and survive. All they can do is not talk about it and hope JWs are so stupid, hey this has worked for many decades.

  I think all the huge changes are a desperate attempt to stop the haemorrhaging.

  The wish the zoom can of worms was never opened but they had to for covid. Now they can’t take it away for the genuine old and infirm, but what if someone simply says they are too ill and needs to stay on zoom?

  All KHs are so empty these days and the GB are in panic mode. They are desperate to think of something try anything but latest attempts have made it even worse.

  I heard a young person in a congregation said “I don’t like that guy” when Steve Lett came on with the beard new light. His mother said “you can’t say that he is a member of the GB”

  but it sums up what young people think and once the older ones die off there won’t be many left

  Yes Kim I remember watching one of his covid live chats with a few others on there. His arrogance really showed when he said multiple times it’s my channel and I do what I want.

  The only official announcement was on the latest News section for a day or so. It was hard to spot and most missed it. It just said that it was announced to the bethel family that Am3 was no longer GB. If it’s good news they put it on a banner at the top for days Breaking news so you can’t miss it. If it’s not good news but they have to announce it they try to hide it.

  The only other way to know he has been removed is slowly deleting every picture or video he has been in. It’s taking a while because he has obviously been on a lot over the decades.

  Thoughts on annual meeting “new light”

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, i finally saw the annual meeting video part 2.. this is the one with the “new light” on who might survive armageddon, vs. those who do not.. in summary, for those of you fortunate enough not to have to sit through it, it’s something like this:.

  old light: once the “great tribulation” starts, that’s it for non-jws.

  the “door of the ark” is closed.

  Yes it’s inevitable they have to admit 1914 is all wrong. But it’s often been said everything hinges on all the 1914 doctrines, yes it does and I say again it’s inevitable they will have to admit they are wrong about all the 1914 doctrine

  It definitely is new light. Thinking about the flood account Jesus said they took no note and the flood swept them all away.

  well this new light they could wait until they were sure the flood was going to happen then get in the ark?
