Oh I don't know, maybe the COBE's head is inside that christmas "gift" box with a card that says "you're next" with a smiley face emogi.

Satan is "bullying" you through family
by neat blue dog injust thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

Were These People “Demonized” or Simply Mentally Ill?
by minimus init seems that every congregation had a problem with people being affected by the demons.
looking back i have to wonder was it that more people were emotionally or mentally unbalanced?
or they simply off their medications or were they in need of meds?.

I'd say in the "new system" (ugh) all activities that carry the risk of inadvertent arousal will be eliminated.

There are physical illnesses that cause symptoms which could be mistaken for mental or "spiritual" illness by the ignorant. People in ye olde bible times didn't know any better fortunately we know more - I hope.
Epilepsy of which there are different forms btw originating from different parts of the brain
Brain tumors
TIA
Brain injury
MS
Parkinsons
Side effects from medication - the list goes on.
Not everything is as black and white as demons or crazy.
JWs are a combination of willfully ignorant and extremely suggestable with varying degrees of hypochondria.

The real clue lies in the fact that the JW "funeral" is referred to as a "program."

Update on Detroit-Area Murder Suicide - Front Page Article
by lepermessiah inhttps://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2018/02/19/keego-harbor-jehovahs-witness-mom-triple-murder-suicide/351559002/.
this was on the front page of freep.com this morning - sadly there are some factual errors in this article that people will jump on (not allowed to go to college was in original article for instance - hopefully the reporter will correct it).
interesting reading the comments below the article - all kinds of opinions.

There is a lot more details to this than we can possibly know from a news article.

Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales
by freddo ini was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.
i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.
as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.

Changed Jesus Painting
by neat blue dog inthe theme of feeding many through the hands of a few was discussed at a recent clam, and it was based on a wt article from 5 years ago.
for some reason though they changed the picture that goes with it.
usually people are erased from pictures when they defect, but this doesn't look too different, just like they made him have more delicate features.. .
