lett made a complete public denial of any wrong doing on the part of those directing watchtower policies i think his statement as well as splane's statements of denial to the portugal indoctrinated members certainly shows the evil information he is willing to spill out to keep these matters of serious concern away from their believing public there in portugal.. i feel these videos if they can be used in court cases of child molestation will swing the jury toward megabuck$$$ based on the denial expressed to make these denying ass holes wake up and shrivel up their real estate assets quicker.
these videos make it very plane that these guys are evil and deserve to be given the maximum fine that the jury can award to the victims.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2gqnwvvwtk.
I for one don't think WT is anywhere near its "end." I think it's merely changing its format and moving towards a business model more like an online megachurch.
JD - Funny you say government won't shut down WT because accoring to WT's own Bible interpretation the Government will shut down all religion and then come for WT which we all know will be the excuse for armageddon.
just got to share this, zizek at his very best.
explaining how the traditional view of the ransom makes no sense and reverts christianity to paganism where god is subject to a superior notion of justice.
how the injunction from jesus to hate mother, father, brothers and sisters is really a call for a non-hierarchical society, of which the holy spirit is a symbol.
As I said in my earlier comment this guy puts an interesting angle on things that I have come to similar conclusions myself back when I first woke up and I was reading a lot of philosophy. I have moved on from there now but it was good to revisit.
On a side note I observed this guy has very distracting gestures and a manic speaking style which makes him difficult to listen to.
My intial thought was "blow" (cocaine) user but after thinking about it I realise he could be displaying signs of tourettes syndrome as that is a neurological condition that can involve involuntary physical and verbal ticks.
as we have seen, the society has so smoothly rolled out the rebranding of the organization in just a few short years!.
(in fact, i remember a thread post here a few years back, where it was mentioned that all halls are going to get the jw.org signs on them.
it was initially laughed off and doubted) https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/279409/jw-org-signs-put-on-all-kingdom-halls-new-directive.
If there are any next gen witnesses that stick around they most likely won't even care about actual old school full words and titles their whole language will consist of letters, abbreviatons, substitute words etc. It will bye bye english as we knew it as WT seems to be getting right on board with the language reduction thing.
i've received the following news from a reliable and trusted source: .
the demise of printing literature in the u.k. is being brought forward by one year - to march 2018. graphic design and printing support will go too.
large numbers of "disposable" bethelites will now have to make their own way in the world, when their "mother" abandons them.
I think they will outsource all printing evenyually anyway. Surely there would be cheaper ways and places to print. I honestly foresee a time when books, DVDs etc will be available from the website.
i was an elder in two different congregations and both were conservative and strict, especially congregation number one.
it was headed by a former branch servant as they were called back then.
all elders were by the book.
All the usual BOEs with all the usual suspects.

Yes, he raises some important theo/philosophical questions all of which I will admit I myself have mused over since the spell WT had over me broke and my faith broke along with it and I finally gave myself permission to give deep thought to these questions. His conclusions are interesting and simliar to the ones I came to but he really shouldn't do blow before interviews - lol that last bit was joke.

Maybe they're a satanic, money laundering cult masquerading as a publishing house masquerading as a real estate business masquerading as a charity masquerading as a religion masquerading as "The Truth" ? FFS will the real WT please stand up!
Feel free to add any I've missed.

The GB/clergy/faithful slave/Guardians of Doctrine/talking heads/JD's psychopath bosses or what ever the hell they actually are.
I''m sure JD is right as he seems to have the skinny on all things GB...wonder why that is... oh well. No doubt by their smugness it's obvious they've been smart enough to structure things so they are clear and free of any legal liability or accountability to their congregants and their families or their "employees" at bethels or rather slaves at bethel and pesky little things like a working conscience and a sense of duty and care.
it struck me that witnesses have mastered the art of revelling in "trials and problems" that require "enduring".
of course, the persecution complex, and the paranoia about these "wicked last days" no doubt contributes to this.. if one witness has some health issue, or if another has a family drama, they seem to revel in sharing these stories amongst their witness friends...almost in an attempt to elicit sympathy.. has anyone else noticed this?.
most normal people though outside of the org, simply recognise that life has its ups and downs, and need to be dealt with..
In witnessworld everything is a competition even misery.
I figure it's because the GB rewards self-made martyrs by using their example in yearbooks, awake articles, convention "experiences" etc.
The only attention to be had is being a really really "blessed" career witness or by being really really "persecuted" and "tested" and living to tell the tale.
And, if you can't be really really actually persecuted you just make up some storm in a teacup bs story about how your scarewy disfellowshipped relative tried to speak to you but you mangaed to stay strong and shun the shit out of that bitch. Then you get interviewd at the assembly and you win the award that year for most persecuted.
so we know that by jw logic, the idea is that everyone who dies is acquitted of their sin and will get a resurrection in the "new world".
however, those directly destroyed by god, or at his command will not.
(for example, those destroyed in the flood.
NO RESURRECTION FOR YOU!!!
