In my morning meditation, I was considering the new doctrine being slyly worked into the JW psyche. And, I know pretty much all of this forum members agree with my conclusions but perhaps you each can add something thoughtful that may help new ones or lurkers. In my opinion, you may as well add unscriptural to the description of illogical etc., because that is what they are prepping the friends for. I personally know friends who have sacrificed their health and in one instance I know of a brother who sacrificed his life in compliance with this new “doctrine” by following their advice on the vaccine. In addition to creating a vulnerability for unscriptural ideas, it also seems to promote the idea of once saved, always saved, since they believe Jehovah would never allow the GB to become apostate or lead them in the wrong direction.
One of the members here pointed out that from his recollection they have been teaching this new doctrine since about 2013 and I do recall it being promoted well before the pandemic.
Ezekiel 18:24: “‘But when someone righteous abandons his righteousness and does what is wrong, doing all the detestable things the wicked do, will he live? None of the righteous acts that he did will be remembered. For his unfaithfulness and the sin he has committed, he will die.”
