Luke 21 v 8 perhaps?
'He said: “Look out that you are not misled, for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The due time is near.’ Do not go after them.'
It’s a disgrace isn’t it and this would be GB approved I would think
Jeremiah 17:5
Amplified Bible
Thus says the LORD, “Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, Making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, And whose mind and heart turn away from the LORD.

Oh its definitely approved - its part of the plan brainwashing for the “strange and illogical” instructions ahead.
Maybe only a few R&F fathom the C19 jab problems that are due to GB mandate. So sad to see in their minds 1+1=1

If there was ever any doubt that they have elevated themselves to the same level as Jesus, they are making sure, more and more, that any doubt will be completely removed. Their arrogance is astonishing. What about Tony Morris? I guess he's faded away like the smoke from the match he lit, and he cannot be likened to the "voice of Jesus." I'll say it again, the complete and total lack of self awareness is all astounding!

I went to jw broadcasting and struggled through his 9 minutes or so video.
How they can take a scripture and then stretch it way beyond ...... never ceases to amaze me.
In my opinion there is not one thing refreshing about the yoke the gb has put on Jehovah's people.
No matter what we do it is never enough.
But no need to beat that horse again. We all know the deal.
Anyway, these comments below are just my opinion only. Sounds like gb are up to something. Usually when they make bizarro
statements like this something is in the works. Sometimes they put crazy in a study article and it goes right past most. Makes me wonder if they do blatant just to see how r & f will respond, then they wait awhile and BAM new light, change or new direction, local needs
Whateva.
I may be overreacting but that video made my skin crawl and my stomach did flops.
I will just keep on the watch to see if they make any subtle/sneaky impractical changes that may not make sense and as they say we must obey
.
One of my favorites is
LUKE 8:18
Therefore pay attention to how you listen.............
Good night hope all have safe rest of evening and pleasant Sunday.

*** w07 4/1 pp. 26-27 par. 3 Humbly Submitting to Loving Shepherds *** (Before change)
In this time of the end, Jesus Christ, the Greater David, is the “one shepherd” whom Jehovah has appointed over all His servants on earth, both the spirit-anointed Christians and the “other sheep.”—John 10:16.The change
*** w14 8/15 pp. 22-23 par. 2, 6 Hear Jehovah’s Voice Wherever You Are *** (After change)
6 The world is so saturated with conflicting religious teachings and doctrines that many people feel that searching for the true religion is futile. However, Jehovah has made his guidance abundantly clear for those who are willing to take advantage of it. We have to decide whom we will listen to. Since it is practically impossible to listen to two voices simultaneously, we need to ‘know the voice’ of Jesus and listen to him. He is the one whom Jehovah appointed over His sheep.
*** w91 8/1 p. 11 par. 12 “The Light Has Come Into the World” ***
Eventually, all mankind will have to acknowledge Jesus’ authority. (Matthew 24:30; Revelation 1:7) Lovers of the light, however, have gladly recognized it right from the beginning. Anointed members of the Christian congregation accept Jesus as “the head of the body, the congregation.” (Colossians 1:18; Ephesians 5:23) When they become part of that body, they are ‘delivered from the authority of the darkness and are transferred into the kingdom of the Son of God’s love.’ (Colossians 1:13) Henceforth, they earnestly follow Jesus’ leadership in every aspect of their lives, and in our time they have taught the “other sheep” to do the same. (John 10:16) Acknowledging Jesus’ headship is a key requirement for receiving a favorable judgment.
*** w87 8/1 p. 10 par. 1 Christ Actively Leads His Congregation ***
JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES recognize no man as their leader. Their organizational structure has no equivalent of the pope of the Roman Catholic Church, the patriarchs of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, or the leaders of other churches and sects of Christendom. Their allegiance is to Jesus Christ, the Head of the Christian congregation, who stated: “Your Leader is one, the Christ.”—Matthew 23:10.
*** w77 9/15 p. 566 Benefiting from Christ’s Headship ***
NO MAN or group of men but Jesus Christ alone is Head of the Christian congregation. He did not take this honor to himself nor did he gain it by popular consent. None other than his Father granted it to him. Writing to fellow believers in Ephesus, the apostle Paul stated that God ‘made Jesus head over all things to the congregation.’—Eph. 1:22.
It is only right that Jesus Christ occupy the position of head toward the congregation. His teachings and life course, particularly his sacrificial death, constitute the very basis for the congregation’s existence. No one can be a member of the congregation apart from Jesus Christ. “I,” said Jesus, “am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”—John 14:6.
*** g77 7/22 p. 27 Is It Right to Call Men by Titles? ***
Since the Christian congregation is an “association of brothers,” any title that elevates one Christian above another would be totally out of place. (1 Pet. 2:17) Besides, the congregation has only one God-appointed head, Jesus Christ. The Son of God said to his disciples: “You, do not you be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, whereas all you are brothers. Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called ‘leaders,’ for your Leader is one, the Christ.”—Matt. 23:8-10.
These words of Jesus have generally been ignored by clergymen of Christendom. However, not all have been so bold as to take titles to themselves. Well-known Bible commentator Albert Barnes, for example, personally rejected the title “Doctor of Divinity” as being contrary to Christ’s teaching. He wrote: “Jesus forbade his disciples to seek such titles of distinction. The reason he gave was that he was himself their Master and Teacher. They were on a level; they were to be equal in authority; they were brethren; and they should neither covet nor receive a title which implied either an elevation of one above another, or which appeared to infringe on the absolute right of the Saviour to be their only Teacher and Master. . . . [The] title [Rabbi] corresponds with the title ‘Doctor of Divinity,’ as applied to ministers of the gospel; and so far as I can see, the spirit of the Saviour’s command is violated by the reception of such a title . . . It tends to engender pride, and a sense of superiority in those who obtain it; and envy and a sense of inferiority in those who do not; and the whole spirit and tendency of it is contrary to the ‘simplicity that is in Christ.’”
FABULOUS COLLECTION! Great job brother

I met an older lady today who told me she goes to this special church. Honestly, she was kinda weird. But she did later clarify she was talking about Jehovah's Witnesses. Oh interesting. I said. I'm a JW too. I'm just not affiliated with the Watchtower. Strangely enough, saying that didn't seem weird to her at all. It's almost like she already understood. So yeah, very weird interaction. The only JW I ever talked to who almost implicitly agreed with me. I think there's a lot more people on the inside who get it, even if they don't fully understand it consciously. The organization may be pushing more people away than they realize.

My father used to say, about people in a general sense, "give them enough rope and they'll hang themselves." It appears this is what WT is doing. Except it's more like a trove of self condemnation, and an indefensible indictment of themselves. I guess the new light is that Jehovah has appointed them as the mediator to the mediator!

I think you are 100 % on the mark. I think one of the reasons we don't really know what people are thinking is because they all know if you have any even slightly dissenting opinion of what the GB says, you're automatically labeled an "apostate" so we all self censor. Even to the point even if we know someone at least partially have a sense of what's going on, we are hesitant to bring the subject up.
