    Yes the full implications of JWLITE will anger those who have been breaking their backs for decades. Some hardliners made so many sacrifices and were knocking on doors pioneering for 100hrs month until they were exhausted. Then we still got loads of telling off CAN YOU DO EVEN MORE.

    If you wake up at 4am and do Bible study can you wake up at 3am and try to work one day a week less to spend more hours for watchtower

    JWs dont know the reason, and never will. Tony Morris could have been an apostate, a child molester, a wife beater or an alcoholic and the JWs would never be informed and still defend him to the hilt.

    JWs I’ve spoken to assume that he “stepped down” due to ill-health. But that cant be the reason, because former governing body members have served as members while deathly ill but kept on the governing body despite not being actively involved in any way.

    The only other times a governing body member has been removed and disappeared of the face of the earth were:

    • Leo Greenlees - Molested a 10yo boy.
    • Ewart Chitty - For having a homosexual relationship with his younger Bethel room-mate.
    • Ray Franz - Removed for eating a meal with a former member and defending the Bible over Watchtower.

    It’s no coincidence that since Tony Morris “stopped serving in that capacity” that all these changes in doctrine and practice came in. Tony Morris was known, even within the JW cult, as a hardliner. In one of his last talks he boasted that JWs would “never” change their policy on disfellowshipping.

    After his exit, they did.

    Lol!

    Fine synopsis Vanderhoven. i suspect his name will resurface in a court document sometime in the near future.

    Vanderhoven, Franz was df'd for what you said but he was already off the GB before that happened.

    Gotta admit that I am pretty surprised that WT has kept the lid on it so successfully. That is a rarity in WT World as they all love to gossip!

    "Lose Lips Sink Ships" A common WW2 poster.

    Everyone has lose lips after too much booze.

    Old cranky ass Tony was mean, opinionated and abrasive when SOBER...on video. Can you imagine such an ass after a bottle of Scotch? He must have been a real gem around his GB co-workers.

    When you REALLY dislike an abrasive alcoholic co-worker, it is easy to find ways to help them move along to greener pastures.

    It sure seems like the others on the GB stacked the deck with the new GB members and were successful in building a coalition to oust Tony. Guess it should not be that surprising as it happens in congregations every day. I suspect every former elder here has witnessed it.

    I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that TM signed a non-disclosure (keep your mouth shut) agreement in order to live in that North Carolina home that most of us could not afford, for free, for the rest of his days.

    I ran into a cart this morning , I asked about Tony.

    They said he just retired.

    I ask why all his articles and talks have been removed from JW.or

    They said they were still there.

    I have idea if they are still there or removed. Does anyone know ? I hate looking on that site.
