Yes Ding, and what creases me up is the way other GB members, witnesses on the cart etc etc refer people who want more detail on the subject to it as if it answers all their questions!!!!

"jehovah's witnesses often, not only change 180° from what they used to teach, they change from things they vehemently asserted were absolute truth.

If the org. Is being advised by consultants, is a name change in the works?
by nowwhat? inlet's be honest, there's a stigma to the name jehovah's witness.
if they are going more mainstream.
i imagine the first recommendation was a name change.

Love it!
Could they backtrack and acknowledge what the 1969 Kingdom Interlinear said and rebrand as Yahweh's Witnesses??

Good points Jeff, thank you,
My shallow mind kept asking 'Should Lloyd humping a Christmas Tree in the book have been pruned, or is it vital to the narrative!?'

Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness
by Ron.W. ina slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

Who really is the Faithful and Discreet Slave? The recent changes and the Governing Body's 10 year plan
by redsetter2 ini 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.

I have received a pleasant reply from redsetter.
I told him a bit about my own background that involved Ray Franz and also John Barr, that I have not so far discussed here, and asked him a question or two that I would like further info from him on.
I await his reply in his own time and at his own pace.
Regards
Ron.

I think in the past he must have been raking in an amazing amount of money.
When he received superchats etc and payments in his livestream he seemed to be getting paid a small fortune while his 'helpers' got nothing.
Perhaps he thought in the future he would be able to retire and live a non jw life of ease on the strength of these and other donations..

Will recent dress-code changes affect the WTS negatively?
by Wonderment inin a span of a few months time, we have had many unexpected changes announced by the jw organization.
some here have expressed the belief that a great number of witnesses will leave the religion.
in fact, there is a great probability the opposite will be true.. yeah, ancient hardliners will have a hard time assimilating these changes, but the younger generation will likely welcome these changes.

slimboyfat & BluesBrother, many thanks for that info.
My aged family are desperately trying to find ways to convince themselves to be faithful and loyal to these new dress codes but are seriously struggling.

What I Remember From The Past...
by titch infolks: 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 inthe 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!
