- Reviewing the 2024 Governing Body Update #2 of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Edit: Already more info on the new policies available in document S-395-E 03/24. It is possible for disfellowshipped ones to be reinstated after three months. Disfellowshipped ones can be studied with by an elder or MS, or mature sister for a disfellowshipped woman.

I emailed the changes to an active JW , he didn’t know them yet. After he watched the update online , he mailed me back how happy he is with a gov body members and that they truly are a faithful and discreet slave and apply Acts 15 not to add any more burden. I never responded to him. It shows that any changes that these guys come up with is a proof that they have “the truth”. While some may wake up, most of them will definitely stay!
A very complex, yet thorough MIND CONTROL-BRAINWASHING, MENTAL GYMNASTICS, MInd-fvck etc. ISH
A very, very Unique thing
Amazing how the JW will just accept "new light"and feel blessed for it.
It's sad.
Jesus Christ sent all of you to preach about the Jw's or satan the devil sent all of you to preach about the Jw's???????

I've been out for 27 years and my JW mom has been telling me about all these changes. I just say "well that's nice" and once she mentioned me getting reinstated, I think she thinks I still kind of believe and I don't get in any trouble but the truth is I'm totally divorced from the Bible and any gods. I only bring up Bible stuff once or twice a year, one was when she was doing a phone call Bible study with some lady and they were talking about Deborah and how she killed some guy in my sleep and I told her if I take a nap please don't drive a stake through me. I think three GB is going for the LDS model these days.
@@vusimngomezulu2500 it wouldn't be an Exjw video without this twat showing up
$$$$$$$ it's all about the $$$$$$
They could care less about the people. Too bad the governments could be duped.
Could NOT care less...... Ftfy
"Thank you for allowing me to dress myself, oh wise ones!" 🤦🏽♀️
A snake may shed its skin from time to time, but it's still a snake even with its new skin !!!
Tellement!!
Yes!! So true!!
Yes!! So true!!
You put a beard on a pig but it's still a pig.
And a snake only sheds to get bigger. 😢
Seriously ridiculous updates! Beards on, suits off, slacks on, ties off, sounds more like a rock concert than a Kingdom Hall! We were all duped 😢
CRIST left all the information we need in order not to be wrongly informed by other people..
He Said:
Be careful about the false prophets they will come in the last generation...flip flop like GB does in not fallow true Christianity...
Crist said :
Fallow my steps as close as possible... how?? By reading the scriptures only....not man made publications...
No worries Almighty GOD YHVH appointed his son Crist Jesus to judge mankind individually including the GB.
All to attract new members 😅
Nice tie, matches the Norwegian flag . . . 🇧🇻🇧🇻🇧🇻
It doesn't surprise me this man putting a tie matching the Norwegian flag...they were part of UN for almost 1 decade...and same time published a book criticize the UN.
Hipocrisy,on top of more Hipocrisy.....
I was part of this organization for decades....not anymore.....
CSA is a HUGE disaster in this org.
1006 unreported cases in Australia alone since 1959 up until 2015
When the Australian Royal Commission came to light...
What is the point to give all those advises about skirts size, skirts with an opening on the side (
I remember the WT and that picture about the skirt with an opening) what's the point if there is so much Gross immorality done against our young brothers and sisters???
It's called fake morals...
I,m out still serving Almighty GOD YHVH according to his will.
Not the will of massive control man.
Lol. Interesting
The micromanagement of people’s lives is really unreal. Although it took over 40 years for my eyes to be opened I am hopeful that many today with the help of the ex JW community will be able to see through the hypocrisy more quickly. This is all about the organization and not the people otherwise they would apologize for all the harm they have wrought over the years. Harm that can never be undone. These changes are just a drop in the proverbial bucket! What about the mistreatment and shunning of those who leave on conscientious grounds and are shunned and lose their families as though they are disfellowshipped? I am one of those.
So you have been disfellowshipped for a year or 2 you go to walk onto a hall there are men with beards women with trousers and someone who knows you are disfellowshiped says hello has a quick chat the first thing you do is go back out to see if the sign still says kingdom hall of jws then you go back inside and freak out because you think you have entered a parallel universe
😂 good one
Just last night before this update came out, I was dreaming about the show "Sliders" and the parallel worlds! Then this comment. Yes, it feels surreal like the "Twilight Zone" or other programs like that.
Funny but so true
😭😂😂😂😂😭😂🤣😂😭
Sisters in pants! This truly is the final part of the final part of the final part of the final part of the final part of the final part of the last days!
you forgot to mention it's the final part...
Twice the sermons, for sinners' delight,
More meetings, a double dose, to set things just right.
Minors in mischief, with parents in tow,
Double the judgment, a family show.
Lost sheep get a visit, with memories dim,
"Recall why you're shunned, and rejoin our hymn?"
Disfellowshipped fogies, a welcome surprise,
"Forgotten your trespass? We'll open our eyes!"
Pants for the ladies, a fashion coup,
But freedom still measured, with boundaries to loop.
Progress, they whisper, with tongues slightly forked,
Same doctrine, new outfits, a message reworked.
wonderful talent you have
Thanks again, Phil, for a thoughtful and thorough analysis of the GB update. As a witness for over 60 years, I find it amusing to see all the modifications. I'm glad to be out now, but am more amazed at how the 'Truth' could be so remade on the whims of a few men.
I echo your comment... Including seeing Sanderson wearing a beard... What nonsense.. I would love to see Anthony Morris,s reaction too when he sees this...
No worries.
Almighty GOD YHVH appointed his son Crist Jesus to judge mankind individually including the GB.
WT are imitating the elders in Jesus time... that's why Crist called them SERPENTS
Registered in Matteus chapter 23.
I had to frown angrily and laugh at the same time when he said: they must be very weak spiritually. He has no idea that since I've left, I've found myself and have a deeper relationship with God, the higher being. I'm now stronger than ever, Mark. I'm sick of being labeled and defined according to the standards set forth by imperfect men like the 8 self-appointed governing Freemason idiots.
"New light" is what the constantly use to get away with so much atrocity that when you are associated with religion, you actually become blind, not the other way around. They use and abuse you, control you, take your money for free and get access to your children. It isn't new light that was responsible for making these humongous changes. It's because of the backlash, out cry and activism of ex JWS. It's because they are losing members faster than the donations that are coming in, where they are hemorrhaging money. So to reel ex-members in, they throw different bait at them. It's an organization that has disgustingly likened themselves to being equal to God/Jesus in that whatever they say is written in stone. It's been going on 9 years since I've been out and it's been quite a blessing. Never again. I'm politically as well as religiously neutral, my comfy spot without the control.
Great summary and analysis.
Seems like baby steps. Given the rising disgust with shunning and CSA, the broken families, the mental health impacts, the suicides and bodily harm happening, one would think they’d move more swiftly. These are just bandaids.
No baby steps here... pedophiles will be covered, don't worry about it...
EXCELLENT ANALYSIS & COMMENT
Thousands of repentant 'sinners' have been disfellowshipped. So, it wasn't the choice of the disfellowshipped one. Slimy weasel lying words, as you alluded to, Phil. Thanks again, and you were so prompt!
I personally know of a beautiful young JW girl that was DFd, despite one of the Elders on the JC admitting that they knew for a certainty she was genuinely repentant. The Elders wanted to 'teach her a lesson,' whatever that means.
I hope the lesson she learned is that WT is a cult and the Elders are pond scum.
when i left j-dubs years ago in the late 90s, i made the prediction that they'd eventually turn into catholic-flavored protestants...they're effectively there at this point.
I also left in the late 90s. I still pay attention to this crap because my mom is still an active JW and she tries to tell me about these changes. I believe they're going for the LDS model where in the last ten years they've also reduced the restrictions and have made a lot of stuff what we'd can conscience matters. But it's funny how the online JW PR people all mention in their profiles that they're coffee drinkers so the world doesn't mistake them for Mormons.
Notice how they said The governing body will LET publishers use their Bible trained conscience. So they admit the didn’t allow people to use their own conscience. And we all know what happens when something is not used or exercised. NO DOUBT we will find publishers in a weakened spiritual state.
I’ve been out for 40 years. When I reached the 30y mark, I was visited by some elders from a congr. I didn’t know (moved to another city where noone know me). Not once in all the other years was I ever contacted. But perhaps it was due to me not being disfellowshipped, but choosing to disassociate myself? 🤔 Then I’m probably considered a dangerous apostate 😂😂
I was thinking that. I’ve never known of my disfellowshipped family members being visited
I've been full blown apostate for almost 30 years and my jw mom has never shunned me, and she tries to tell me about all these changes as if they're surprising good news. I think this might open the floodgates for more JWs who think like her and hate having to shun family.
Apostate or just inactive
It’s amazing how powerful money can be. Loosing their money privileges, and also “members” leaving by squadrons, either they make changes really fast, or they are doomed. They’re still the same controlling bastards, they have always been. T4s
Jw corporation rebranding because sales are down and government funding is down.
Next jws will wear logo t-shirts 😂😂😂
I know my family members are feeling like fools right now since we were always separate from the world 😂😂😂 they wont admit it 😂
Chariot moving fast nowadays....I think a wheel fell off
Oh, terrific! Now I'm picturing the chariot race in "Ben Hur". However, Jehovah's "chariot" is the one with the blades, which are used to cut down the rank-and-file.
@@thomash.schwed3662 and has eyes that are closed shut
The wheel was Tony Morris
All good thoughts! Appreciate your uptake on this. I was waiting for your video. I too am disappointed about the suicides and mistreated minors due to the harsh unloving policies previously weilded upon the brothers and sisters. How much would it hurt them to be even a little bit apologetic? After all. A lot of talk about the governing body and little to say about God or Jesus. Again, thank you!
Mormons and JWs are simply different franchises operating under the same corporate parent company.
Pfff...so instead of being a 'slack of bones and a hack of hair', now I'm a 'smaller cranial capacity clad in pants'...😢
Still a cult disguised as a 'part of the world'.
Changing its normanclature to skirt legal ramifications!!
I'm not a witness but my wife for years said the don't ignore disfellowship ones..... theocratic warfare I guess...she's allowed to lie to me
“The governing body has decided”
*_/yawn/_*
The way I read this was him saying that he really, really doesn't want people DFed unless at all possible. Speaking through his teeth, ask, "Are you sure?" Over and over again until they say they're sorry and then they can let it go. Then when DF people come back, he wants as few roadblocks as possible. They realize shunning is hurting the numbers and they are willing to compromise their principles to make the numbers bigger again.
👋Always good to hear your perspective. Thanks!❤👍
Jehovah sure does change his mind a lot.
So they are actually changing "Gods requirements " to fit the laws of man 😂....
This is a funny kind of "Truth" indeed .🤔
Im soo grateful to the governing body because even though Jehovah created me with facial hair,I had to patiently wait for the fds to say it was ok.
Really appreciate how you brothers continually make personal grooming decisions for me,I'd literally be lost without ya'll.
Is this another reason Tony Morris got removed? Possible changes represented “apostate” thinking in governing body? Alcoholism and/or is work as a CO in the Pennsylvania area with awareness of CSA cases is the other floated around.
Thank you, Phil!
Opening frame: WTHeck ??? Was it clown day at the headquarters !?
2 elders?! I've never seen less than 3
Technically 3 elders is a JC while 2 elders is an exploratory committee.
@@oliversacks3837You're right, except that I think the actual term is "investigatory committee".
Yes. Two elders for shepherding calls or factfinding visits. And Three elders for judicial committee possibly to break a tie depending on which side two may be leaning
YES! Was hoping u would weigh in!
The Bible Study!
Perfect possibility to help them, in a gentle way, to wake up. 😉
I'll accept it!
I really enjoyed your summation here, Phil. Nice work, as always.
1/3. Have not gone back after C19. and PIMIs dont give cash.
Sanderson admitted that they don’t greet DF members, yet they say we don’t shun on the other side of their mouth
Nicely🎉 summed up Phil❤, 8 Changes!
.
Good to see you again
I really enjoy listening to you. You do a great job. Take care pal
It seems to me this is a changing of the guard, just as Rutherford rewrote the religion, abandoning 90% of Russell's teachings, then Knorr took a more modernising approach and changed the face of the religion again, so it seems, younger guys are now changing it again, ironically to look more like 'the world".
I just see this now as Sanderson (aka The Kingpin) is at the wheel, he is shaping it in the way he wants it which is a desperate survival bid. The appointment of the cardboard twins shows all that is wanted on the Governing Body is " yes' men to back him up. Maybe when Lösch passed away, even bigger changes may happen.
I still don't see, with firm roots in Adventism, that this religion can pass another 50 years.
I’m anxiously waiting for that phone call. Somebody is gonna get an ear full 😂. The elders are gonna start hating this Santa Claus
It's now Santason 😊
fantastic video , keep up the wonderful work.
"Coming Home"
A term used by those within the Catholic Church.
this cult just sickens me of how much they passively adopt from other religions...they are no different.
Thanks! Great thoughts on the update.
Group of pen pushers 😢
yes the judicial process is filled with toxic trauma that one never forgets
Mark is reading the elders letter on a teleprompter his level of personal interest is zero.
When you update, you know it's big.
Good concluding remarks
The damage is done! My whole family abandon me disowned me, looked down on me, would not have anything to do with me, and I wasn’t disfellowshipped it’s just because I wasn’t a JW!
New subscriber here. Great video.
I love your ever level-headed, kind manner of presentation.
No wonder Tony left
He’s been dancing ‘round the kitchen of his new house singing “myriads and myriads of ice cubes”.
Rush Limbaugh on the GB now?
sharing their new blight i c
Ironically, Rush Limbaugh would have fit right in as a member of the Governing Body. The members of the Governing Body certainly share his hatred toward people living with integrity (which is to say people being who they are).
Nowhere in the NT does it outline that there should be a 3 man judicial committee formed to determine repentance, then that there be an announcement made to the congregation.
The gentleman in Corinth who was screwing his father's wife was known in the community and the congregation to be actively engaged in that activity, so Paul wrote a letter that was read to the entire congregation to quit socializing with him. In 2 Cor. Paul wrote them again and said the rebuke given the MAJORITY was sufficient and to welcome him back since he stopped the behavior. He was not required to sit at meetings for a year while being ignored and to write a letter requesting reinstatement. nor was there any mention of fellow humans judging his heart condition (repentance)
Yes! I am going to use this. Excellent.
@@ritastevenson5639 Thank you! I hope you find it useful.
I still don’t understand if the new arrangement means minors can or can’t be disfellowshipped.
Every denomination has its practices. But the difference between the real gospel of Jesus and that of false teachers is regarding his deity. Without that, it is all window dressing.
How many times does he say, "The governing body has decided...."
His beard is quite full. Given he’s been working on his beard since October, and was scraggly before, his remarks may very well post-date the March 1 Norway decision.
Just a guess of course.
My mom had to comment on his beard too. She made some remark about him looking like Santa Claus! 🎅
@@juanamarias.5048 Mark SanderClaus!
"We will never change our beliefs [for this Norwegian Government]"
DOH!
Looking fwd to the time they say edibles are a conscience matter.
Wow, they must be losing hundreds of millions of dollars.
“The Governing Body has decided” 😂
We finally get beard privileges back after 90yrs, and they immediately want to allow these omstriporous sisters to get to wear pants?! This is an unbalanced of power!! 😅
These changes are not gonna be so easily accepted by me...I have been treated like garbage since 1998
Grew up 100% JW. Zero outside relationships. Married very poorly and she used a couple of different bodies of elders to attempt to brow beat me. Took them 3 years but finally i slipped up and was cut off from literally everybody I knew all my life. Disfellowshipping is cruel and unusual punishment especially for people who did it right and shunned all association outside the organization growing up.
The Governing Body doesn't have to decide anything about judicial matters. Both Jesus and Paul set out the process scripturally.
Which church are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many churches are not true according to this scriptures, Roman's 10;1-3,2Corintians 11:12-15,2thimoty 4:3-4,2Peter 2:1-3...
There is one true church: the universal church of Believers. I think you might mean "denominations". And there isn't a one true denomination.
@@ritastevenson5639 Please show me a word universal church of believers in the Bible.
Well hellooooooooo, Phil!
Elders has always been reaching out to DFs once a year for years that is nothing new. However, reaching out or scheduling to meet a few months after the committee meeting is New. But if elders are able to reach a person thats DF has been put in place probably before this guy was born.
Could you make a video or share the information about people having suicidal thoughts during the committee... One I was under treatment for severe depression and anxiety prior to my committee and the elders were aware of it. One of them even asked me if I'd rather die or be disfellowship. And I said 100% died. To the point that even my ex husband didn't want to leave me alone in the house cause he knew how I was feeling. And all because I was tired of lying to myself about my sexuality. As I saw it 4 heartless men didn't care about my well-being emotionally or physically.
I have to disagree a bit on blaming the disfellowshiped being a new thing. The minute I started to voice any opposition, I was quickly reminded that all the consequences were my choice etc. I do believe blaming the victim is very integral to the whole shunning idea. There has never been any room to think that anyone could leave for legimate reasons or that there's anything to remedy in the DF arrangement. Therefore the "wrongdoer" chose to be stubborn and leave the obvious paradise of being a witness.
That disfellowshipped person can be a former Bible Student???
What kind of toilet paper should the brothers use? Charmin or the store brand.
The answer will come in Governing Body Update #3.

Presently the Elders only meet with a wrong doer one time, .....................but the Governing Body over and over again can't fully address the Child Molesters situation, the WatchTower Boys are weak
💰JW💯💰CULT💰
the JW Ministry are reading the writing on the wall particularly the wall in Norway. They can see that if they dont give at least the appearance of "easing up" the human tights violations in regards to shunning and being able to leave a religion without creating psychological issues might get out of control. Of course one major religion does this as well in an even worse way namely the muslims in terms of their "honour murders" and such like. I dont see too many complaints about " human rights " abuses being discussed on that. Maybe thats because the muslins will come after you in vengence.
I can't watch this. That man with the beard is scaring me. He looks like an unkept Wolfman and now I'm going to have nightmares The Wolfman is trying to get me to join a CULT.
He stumbled me right out of "The Truth". Lol!!!
I am curious if the house 5 doors down from TM in Lumberton N,C, the other house deeded to the religious order of JWs has anybody living there yet? Are they reserving it for Steven Lett? If I recall the WT bought two houses, one for Tony and the other one down the street. Maybe the other one was a hedge investment? To sell and make a profit, cuz it was a brand new subdivision. Also I bet the house Tony is in has a few holes punched in the walls after update no. 2. I think he knew all this was coming down from heaven and he didnt want any part of it and he knew millions now living..........would get a clue.
Think they'd be okay with me wearing a men's moo moo
I demand a LAWYER ......everyone should ......
15:10 Spot on video. Except for your "assigned female at birth" statement. Gender isn't subjective to one's feelings.
Untrue about blood , nothing was done to me in early 90s
It's absolutely true. Just because you somehow flew under the radar doesn't change Watchtower's easily-verifiable blood policies.
No questions asked huh? Smh!
Still it's all about judgment and control. All the apostates are gonna be showing up at the halls looking for their special greeting. Lol
AFAB? Really? (Sigh) I guess we know what this dude's politial beliefs are. It's not assignment, it's recognition. Literally the most obvious thing besides skin color.
I dont know of any ONE MEETING JUDICIAL COMMITEES ...... this is a lame joke by lame fools 😮
No matter what they do u can’t say something good
24:24 😀
VICTIMS DOING THE WILL OF SCAMMERS.
“You would be spiritual weak if you haven’t been to meetings” 😂
Nope you would just not be brainwashed enough to believe them 😂
You had me till you said assigned female at birth 😭
The JW should allow its followers to take part in eating the bread and drinking the fruit of the vine at the memorial meeting this year as New biblical light discovered
The first thing WT needs to do is get the date right. Wrong Memorial date for 2024. Again.
Why should the followers even need permission? The relationship does not include the GB; they have no right to meddle in that relationship. Grow up, members, stop being children.
@@Joeandfran
Of course, you know the answer to your own question. WT tolerates no dissent or "independent thinking". Discipline comes swiftly to any JW that steps out of line. JWs are not grown ups. They need permission to do everything- facial hair, what clothes to wear, etc. - permission from Daddy GB.
who cares what they do? people have too much time on their hands
Bunch of crybabies 😂
