I don’t know about other states

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

Fake prophets and fake teachers also give out millions in front of cameras.

The devil can give u riches and take ur soul.


Politicians can provide roads or street lights with great media attention, while the hospitals and universities are understaffed.

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.

You can never be more wrong! Understanding the Bible is a gradual process, as time goes on, understanding improves, then changes are made not to the Bible but to our beleif.

Governing council and not the holy Ghost

One thing about man made doctrines is that those who make them later find themselves boxed to a very tight corner by those very doctrines.

DrAda:
Funny characters. Dictating to a full grown man what they should and should not do in this century. I blame the followers.

JW are like Robots.
They are not allowed to use their brain themselves. Watchtower does the reasoning.
They can't interpret the Bible by themselves. It is what the NewYork guys say the Bible is saying that they must believe. Even though the Bible is written in English.
All of their doctrines are mis interpretation of the Bible.

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.

OP, it seems you are always high on weed. You always dedicate your whole life attacking a religious organisation. Why can't you set up your own church to teach people righteouness.

Confused idiots. Foolish Governing Body. Scrape this rubbish.

You people have changed and bastardized all the good intentions of Pastor Russell.

When will Norway ban Islam or tag it a cult for agreeing that people who leave the religion deserve death.

dominique:
The female JW I know wear trousers very well. I had a former roommate that's a tomboy and never wore skirts.

Wearing to kingdom halls not wearing outside.. learn to read

What amazes me is that a lot of people are so interested in these JW people. There must be something special about them.

I wish to find out. I'll do my research.

I wish Christendom all the best.

Who are they?

'The Norwegian govt STOPPED giving grants to the cult'.

This is one of my Major Criticism of Jehovah's witnesses.

They DON'T vote during Elections and tell you Man's rulership has Failed
but go ahead to Enjoy Govt privileges such as Npower, Scholarships, Students bursary,etc.

The Govt of Norway really did well! 👍

Postinor:
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

Islam the true religion where Muhammad not sure of his aftermath right? Just dey deceive yourself

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

Who are they?

Why won't people be interested in JW when they go door to door spreading falsehood in the name of evangelism?

If they never go out indirectly threatening people and spreading fear, saying that their religion is the one and only way to redemption, no one would even talk about them.

They claim to be the only true religion, so they get the attention they crave for

Gentlemen, it's not only Jehovah witness that is man made. Infact they realise adjustments are allowed in Christianity that's why they engage in such.

The Bible itself has been adjusted to cover somethings which to them is not to be known by people of this generation, that's why there are versions and testiments of the Bible.

I believe going deep into research will be the right thing to do for every Christain fellow, seek for knowledge and dig deep to the first original Bible written in Hebrew. That's the only way out.

He is still around somewhere. The JWs in this forum suddenly went into hiding. No sound from them.

So, Money can move people to make changes.

Money is a very good motivator.

lol. If Jehovah witness wants money, they'll get it by selling their books and doing advert on their awake. Say want you want jw is never money minded organization. Personally I disagree with some of their doctrines,like no blood transfusion. Aside that jw remain one of the best religion organization.

Best in what way?

Please mention one!


There's absolutely nothing you'll mention that will make up for the damages they've caused their gullible members psychologically.

Na who still dey take this group seriously u dey blame.

Courz:


The Governing body didn't tell them. Let's just say when you taste freedom small, you will want It to remain that way. The COVID period has changed how JWs Preach. They are slacking. Some will rather do it online or through phone calls. The Governing body saw how JWS are slacking when they report very low hours or no hours at all. So, they made a change to scrap reporting of hours. These changes they make are always reactionary based on what they are seeing.

They did DAMAGES to themselves with the Covid-19 issues.🤨

They stayed at home for Nearly 2 yrs and never went out to Preach.😒

I remember asking a Female JW friend that 'You sure say you still Sabi open Bible?'.

That is WHERE many of their Members Backslided, particularly the Teenagers and those below 30's.

In Religion, there is no Room for Vacuum, otherwise Sth else will Fill it up.
This Fact is Why Pastor Oyedepo, Oyakhilome and others were Crying Loudly during the Covid-19 Church Ban!
They were Smart and knew the Consequences of Christians not going to Church on Sundays will have on them.

TrumpBiden:

Eya. They should calm down o. The changes are just getting started. If they can be disappointed at these little changes, how will they react when the more serious changes that have to do with their doctrines come? When EXJWS they call Apostates were warning them about what Watchtower is really all about, what were they doing?

I wonder what their next changes will be,
Maybe agree with other Christians that Jesus is God or maybe accept that there's hell hire awaiting them 🤣🤣🤣

Imagine the mental gymnastics going on

You're very correct. The truth is the average JW doesn't really enjoy the preaching they do. They just do it because they have hours to report and they will look like spiritually dead people when they don't. They look down on JWs that don't go to preach often in that religion. Some of them will avoid you like you have leprosy. Now that the reporting of hours has been removed, they are slacking. No motivation.

Na so one Jehovah babe tell me say I can’t marry her unless I am a Jehovah witness. I totally became turn off.

Not ONLY Jehovah witnesses,to Other church denominations do this, too. 😕

I once Dated one Dominion City Babe. She said I must be their Church member B4 the relationship can move forward.

The first day I attended their Church service, Na so after the service,
The Pastors and other Senior members started asking me questions like
'Where do you Work?
What's your Salary range?
Where is your House Address?
How spiritual are you?
Are you from a Polygamous home?🤨😒
Etc.

I just Quit the Relationship Jejely!
Etc.

If JWS are one of the best religions, why are they changing their doctrines? Why are JWs leaving them and why are their Governing body becoming desperate to rebrand and bring them back to their Kingdom halls? If it is one of the best religions, it shouldn't be dying to the point that their Kingdom halls are for sale. People should be flocking to them left right and center.

See more of their manipulations in that recent update of their spiritual software

If a person has been away from the congregation for a significant period of time, he would no doubt be very weak spiritually

See that part again

no doubt be very weak spiritually

That's how they manipulate members to believe and think anything outside their religious organization is false and from the devil
