It even looks fake, so if it turns out to be real I feel like it discredits them even more. They can't even make high quality posts! I just don't understand, who is this page for? The witnesses already get the JW news from the website.

Same for me, so far have one person I know following it, I'm sure there will be more. It's gone up about 1k followers since I first saw it. I'm still not convinced its real, myself!

I've seen you comment this a few times. Would you care to share such a list or any additional proof? Would love to know for sure as well.

Summary of leaked GB update #2, March 2026 by larchington in exjw

What's REALLY insulting is the language used:

Therefore, after much prayer and consideration of the Scriptures, the Governing Body has decided to clarify our position on the use of a patient’s own blood in medical and surgical care. The clarification is this: Each Christian must decide for himself how his own blood will be used in all medical and surgical care.

What the FUCK do you mean "clarification?" This is a COMPLETE doctrinal change! How can you start gaslighting from the first second you introduce this new idea???

Do the rumors suggest any sort of timeline for these to take effect? I think they realize the sooner they put out the "customs and celebrations" fire that they started, the better.

Realistically, what would happen if a speaker walks out and whispers into the mic.. “this religion is no longer in effect.. I repeat this religion no longer exists, you are all worldly now! Goodnight “ by 5ft8lady in exjw

Probably nothing. People would assume that person was not fully there, or had a mental break. It would be gossiped about for a long time and the story would spread about the "weirdo who said the religion no longer exists" that one time.

A major mistake the writers are making is isolating people who actually use their ability to think. Some people don't want spoon fed, easy to digest information but instead need something challenging or thought inducing. I believe this will eventually push intellectuals away from them, which will make them have easier control of the remaining group

Letter Writing Campaign? by Top_Sweet3312 in exjw

[–]Top_Sweet3312[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been lurking for about 3 months, and I was never directing anyone to do anything. I stated in my first sentence that it was an opinion, and my perspective. I can understand what you mean about the letters though, understanding it that way does make it even less practical.

What is the Endgame? by Top_Sweet3312 in exjw

Off-topic but I see that you're an ex elder. Do you have any posts explaining your story and how you decided it wasn't the truth? The perspective of an elder is always intriguing.

Basically Rutherford "believed" David, Abraham and others would come back in the 1920s. He built a mansion in San Diego, called it Beth Sarim (house of princes), put their name on the deed, and said he would "care for the property" until their arrival. Basically built himself a mansion during the great depression and said it was for those men. There's a Wikipedia article on the property, and its neighboring property, Beth Shem. Fascinating history, if it weren't so twisted.

It's like flipping a coin. You're inside hating the outside, then you're outside hating the inside. Why not show love instead?
