JW whine me and my immediate family for a better part of 2 decades..My father was an elder and regular pioneer,I was a baptised publisher..But thank God we found our way out of that dark pit....
Courz: Based on the New Governing Body Update in the Jehovah's witness website, certain changes have been announced as a response to their heavy loss of Memberships and loss in Court cases. These changes are minor but serious to the typical Jehovah's Witness who has taken the words of the Governing body members way too seriously.
The changes are as follows:
1. The Governing body has decided that Jehovah's Witnesses can now use their Bible trained conscience to greet Disfellowshipped people ( people who have been expelled from the congregation based on a wrong doing). Jehovah's Witnesses are only to have brief interactions with them but still are not encouraged to socialise with them.
This little change was made because the religion has come under fire for their Disfellowshipping doctrine in different Court cases. Because of this doctrine, Jehovah's Witnesses lost their registration in Norway. The Norwegian government ceased giving grants to the Cult and no longer recognise them as a Religion. They are also no longer permitted to conduct Marriages in that country.
2.The Governing body has decided that Underaged Children/Minors are no longer required to be in a judicial committee for Wrongdoing. The parents and the Elders have their role to play in talking with the Minor and if the minor is of good behaviour, a judicial committee is not necessary. This change is also as a result of Jehovah's Witnesses loss in the Court case involving the Norwegian government. The Norwegian government deregistered the Religion when they found out that Underaged Children are disfellowshipped and are shunned by their Families. This is Discrimination in the eyes of Norway and against their rules for religious institutions who are interested in receiving Government grants. So, money is the motivation behind this change.
3. Jehovah's Witness Women are now allowed to wear Trousers to the Kingdom hall, to the Ministry and to Conventions. The mode of dressing with trousers must not be Casual. When they have parts to be done in the Kingdom hall or Conventions, they must wear skirts. When visiting Bethel Headquarters, they are to be dressed in skirts or dresses.
This change came because EXJWS who have left the religion have been making these suggestions. Sometimes, this suggestion is made as a joke and was very popular in ExJW Reddit Forum. It is quite a shock that the Governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses listened to the ExJWs that they call Apostates. There have been reports that there are agents of Watchtower spying in the ExJW Reddit Forum, listening and taking notes of what is being discussed. Afterwards, their suggestions are implemented in the name of New Light. They believe that when they make these changes, it would move EXJWS to come back to the religion. So, who is running the JW Religion, Apostates or the Governing body?
4. Jehovah's Witness Men must not wear ties and jackets to the Kingdom hall, to the ministry and to Conventions. They are only to wear Ties and jackets when they are giving parts/Talks. They are also to be dressed in ties and jackets when visiting the Bethel Headquarters. Earlier, it was announced that they are free to grow beards. The Governing body member giving this update in the video below had a full beard.
It is evident that a lot of changes are a response to a dying religion and they are doing their best to rebrand themselves to make themselves more appealing to the public.
I don't know what is more confusing than being a Jehovah witness
Their doctrine is so contradicting and strange.
While Christian evangelists preach the gospel to save souls from hell fire, Jehovah witnesses preach their distorted 'gospel' to confuse more unsuspecting souls into hell fire.
Wetin concern JW's with your allah? Hope no be say fasting dey affect your brain this morning
that is to tell you islam is the true religion the only religion in the world that it's doctrine has not changed since creation,Allah is too great abeg
Courz: There are lessons to be learned in this. These changes show that;
1. The religion has always been Man made. Their rules have always been rules by Men to control people and are subject to changes when it is evident that they are not Biblical.
2. The changes show that humans can be led astray if they are not knowledgeable in the Bible.
3. The Governing body are scared of the World's government and when they are pressured to make changes, they will do so just to get approval from the world.
4. If their pockets or Bank accounts are running dry due to one doctrine or the other, the Governing body will make changes accordingly so as to get Money. These changes will be made under the guise of New Light. If they keep losing money in Courts due to one policy or doctrine, they will change that doctrine.
5. The religion is losing members at a fast pace and Kingdom halls, assembly halls and Bethel branches are being sold or are up for sale. When you watch this latest GB update above, you will see that the overall theme of the update is Membership retention. The Governing body member even appeals to disfellowshipped people to come back.
They are also listening to the tips provided by Apostates a.k.a EXJWS with the hope that they also will come back to the religion. Jehovah's Witnesses who are rejoicing over these changes should show some gratitude to the Apostates/EXJW Activists who have been fighting for years for changes to be made.
Watchtower is also trying to become More Mainstream just like every other Modern Church but at a slow pace so that it is not too shocking to Jehovah's Witnesses.
6. The changes show that Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is more of a Business Corporation than a religion. As mentioned earlier, anything that hurts their bank account will be changed. A typical Business losing profits will rebrand itself to look more appealing to help cut off these losses. Once you see Watchtower as a Business and not a Religion, you will understand the changes they are making. Since they don't take part in any Humanitarian activities, it is clear that they are truly a Business.
7. These changes also show that their doctrines are not Biblical and that the Governing body have always been wrong about everything while the Apostates have always been right. It also shows that they are not reliable and you stand at risk of being deceived and led to a pit should you take their words seriously. It shows that the Blind have been leading the Blind to an unknown destination.
8. These changes show that the Governing body values the views of Apostates and are willing to do what it takes to bring them back. It is beginning to look like the Apostates are the ones running the Jehovah's witness organisation.
Another example why we tell Africans that all these imported religion from any form of Christianity to Islam are nothing but human control, enslavement, and money making schemes for the societal elite and the government.
They are all glorified business entities seeking to take your money in exchange for mind, body and God-given soul. We are Africans and should retrace our steps back to the root of our spirituality which far exceed any foreign religion.
But in EDO and DELTA states the JW are doing a great job with rural literacy. Many uneducated persons in rural areas are able to read because of JW. I salute them
IkengaRussell: JW whine me and my immediate family for a better part of 2 decades..My father was an elder and regular pioneer,I was a baptised publisher..But thank God we found our way out of that dark pit....

We know they share common denominator in lies, high control and manipulations of their members. I was watching hotel transylvania part 1 yesterday, high control or totalitarian societies like these will disgust you. They will even stage and dramatise situations to cover up realities and spread lies against others

epainos: My issue with JW is that they claim to know God so much that they do His will. No other person or denomination knows God in their eyes. Yet, other people are influencing their laws. The same laws they claimed are directly from God. Scammers!!! So, God bends too...right? See eh. Religion is a messed up thing for the human race.
They choose to play GOD over all others and in so doing enter the realm of LAWLESSNESS. The chaos they sow they will reap.
