  What I Remember From The Past...

  by titch in

  folks: regarding all the recent changes about dis-fellowshipping and time for re-instatement.

  (and, even speaking to persons who are dis-fellowshpped.

  ) back in 1972, a new book was released at the summer district convention, that replaced the yellow-colored "lamp": book.

  If I was disfellowshipped and the elders wanted to visit me:

  I would insist that they were all clean shaven and wearing smart suit, shirt and tie, as MY STANDARDS of respectable dress and grooming (Like jehovah's) have never changed..

  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?.

  You'd probably have to explain WHO Tony Morris is to most publishers - then tell them not to talk about him if the average publisher is like most of my jw family!

  They just feel they can do no wrong, and even if they might admit among themselves that they erred, they would NEVER do so to the R&F.

  The GB are so interested in their own image and retaining their own authority and perceived holiness that they refuse to openly admit their own humanity in any kind of specific way.

  👍👍👍

  Very well put indeed - I totally agree.

  Thank you Earnest.

  I always feel that it it it wasn't for legal accountability the wt would be just as hardline or maybe even more than those past examples in their treatment of DF ones.

  I would just love to be a fly on the wall at the next elders meeting.

  Just a minor side point, what do elders wear now at an elders meeting?

  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.

  the asl portion of the governing body updated #2 (march 2024) has been released a bit early and someone caught it.

  New light on shunning?

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one theory why tony was booted out was because he was a stickler for not changing the shunning doctrine.

  he actually said the words we will never ever change it.. they are slowly deleting all of tony’s videos and now losing court cases and losing government hand outs in places like norway.. it’s looking very likely they will release new light on shunning policy after losing this latest one in norway.. .

  what are the odds they coincidentally get new light from jehovah and lighten up their shunning policy ?.

  ^ They changed that in 1981 because of the famous Peter Gregerson/Ray Franz situation...

  Yes, thanks. That's the impression I was left with after reading Ray's books and conversing with him via email.

  Shows perhaps how a world wide jw policy can be changed just because of one man.

  Good points about how disassociated ones should be treated going forward.

  Would make a good wt questions from readers...
