Michelle Chang: I do not hate JWs. I just want to expose your false doctrines since you claim to be Christians.

The truth: I have never been JW and I will never be.

I noticed in my 22 years as a Witness, that your are spot on, in how the Governing Body handles changes....they will introduce a small idea at an assembly or in an awake magazine, and soften the minds of the followers to their idea, little by little....We can all see this happening over their Blood transfusion edict...It is changing, and the witnesses are starting to stir, but it will be so gradual, that most witnesses will not know what hit them.
Those who do not go along with the New Light, will be disfellowshipped, and no Witness will be able to speak with the one kicked out, so the congregation will never know why the person was actually disfellowshipped..
Where in the scriptures did god say that you could sepairate blood in parts and if you do it in pieces, you are allowed to have transfusions...LOL...People die over this idiot thinking.

They're silent about a lot of things because investigations over the last few decades have exposed them for the cult they really are. No wonder so many JWs are leaving the cult every year. It's mind control and fear is what's stopping them from leaving. I wish only the best for my fellow human beings, and hope that more JWs begin to realise what they are involved in. Nothing more then a cult.

No.
Jehovah's Witnesses use literally dozens of different legal and corporate entities, many of which have names similar to "Watchtower Society" but none of which has "doctrine". Rather than to a corporation, beliefs and teachings are common to persons of the same religion, specifically to the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
When a questioner refuses to even use the actual and respectful name of a religion, it would seem to expose the questioner's lack of objectivity and lack of credibility.
In other words, a legal or corporate entity tends to comment upon legal and corporate subjects. A legal or corporate entity is generally "silent" about subjects involving "doctrine".

--NO , THERE HAS not been any doctrine change which I view as important as the following or anything brewing ,
--WHAT WE HAVE applied is simply what the Scriptures have had clearly stated for over 3000 years:
1. Jehovah God is God alone; He & Christ are not a trinity!
2 There is one hope for the majority of mankind , that is to live on the paradised earth, forever!
3. The holy spirit is not a person!
4. The Kingdom is the heavenly rulership and the only hope for mankind!
5. Christ is the Son of God, Michael, Shiloh, Messiah , the Word, Prince of peace, The Great Prince, the ransom etc.
----Never Jehovah
6. Abstaining of blood is a Christian requirement!
7. 144,000 alone have the heavenly hope!
8. 1914 was not only the beginning of the last days but also of the birth of God's Kingdom in the hands of Christ
9. The resurrection to the earth is the true hope for billions of mankind who have died, since Adam!
---SO NONE of these have ever changed as for our doctrine, once they were established!
---SO IF YOU are going to refer to any other dates as to our doctrines that just does not wash or carry any valid proof of false teachings as many of you wish to make your agenda!

From what I have heard they are ALWAYS making changes. Ironic that they claim their crazy rules come from God and yet God gets them wrong and they have change or get rid of a rule every several years. lol Just like their 8 false claims the world was coming to an end. haha

They haven’t made as many changes as people think. They change how the Organization my do preaching or such but not the Doctrine of their religion. A few thinks have been changed when it comes to how Christ would return; they used to believe he would come back to earth as a man. Now they feel he will rule in heaven. (Or to be more precise, does rule in heaven.)

Nina? did you ever read from the Bible the words of the man named 'Gamaliel'?
You apparently have a large ax to grind with the JW's must have done something to make you angry, or what?
The only changes in doctrine (if the pattern holds true from history) that the Jehovah's Witnesses ever make is to root out the vestiges of paganism in Jesus' teachings, to make the faith ever more accurate in complying with them.
