Hopefully this will be shared in the upcoming court cases against the gb with all those involved.
Yes and watch them squirm and backpedal like the cowardly hypocrites they are . . . Oh wait that's called Theocratic Warfare ยฎ so it's all good.
i know this recent video has been talked about already but i just watched it and here are a few things that got me annoyed as usual:.
splane says that if a bible student says he saw some negative information from apostates and asks us to explain it, we shouldn't look at it or address anything specifically, but instead we should tell them to go to meetings and hear what we have to say about ourselves and also tell them to befriend people at the hall.
for any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is not a satisfactory answer.

For any person with integrity and/or intelligence, this is NOT a satisfactory answer. But for the JWs this is good I guess, because it weeds out the troublesome thinkers, and if they actually agree with it they'd probably make a good JW.
After that he says that anyone who believes all information from a source is "naive", but naturally he doesn't make that application to information coming from JW sources.
Then he brings up the hypothetical situation of an organization that has lawsuits against them and settles out of court. (It's obvious he's talking about the Watch Tower society's numerous settled child abuse cases.) He then says that settling out of court doesn't necessarily mean you're guilty, and then asserts that if it went to trial they wouldn't get a fair trial anyway.
Finally he completely twists a scripture to say the opposite. The scripture in question says, "Does not the ear test out words as the tongue tastes food?" - This obviously means that you can tell whether an argument is good or bad by listening to it, and it stands or falls on it's own merit. However he then says it means something else. He says we don't have to taste poison to know that it's bad. His 'logic' is that apostates have nothing to say but poison > therefore, what they say doesn't have to be tested and can be rejected outright without listening and testing first.
Magnum ๐๐ just goes to show you can make anything fit if you look hard enough, like Russell said, 'The Bible is an old fiddle upon which any tune can be played'
"No, you're prophetic!"
each eye-opener in my awakening had nothing to do with apostates.
it was always by looking directly at the so-called spiritual food that helped me awaken.. in 2019 they changed the wording of the second of two baptismal questions which are answered aloud before the audience.
now i realize that these questions have been adjusted over the years.
They made ridiculous changes to "this generation" starting in 2008 and I didn't bat an eye . . . But then they release a new songbook in 2009 and I start thinking about the orgs history. You never can tell what will give somebody a nudge.
i remember when i was a jw, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon.
itโs better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations i always got told.
so the best thing i ever got was johnny walker red back then (johnny walker is cheap blend).
Tony the Turd was caught on camera buying over $700 of the "good stuff", and he's in good standing. Although with that enormous paunch of his don't know how long he'll be standing.
my opinion is if possible fading is the best way to go..
They may actually hope the outliers fade if they switch to mostly online, that way they're out of the way, and then if they stop reporting hours they can count all irregulars and faded and keep high numbers.
it seems they are encouraging jws to get vaccinated.
not directly but a subtle suggestion.
it seems they hinted a possible return.
Vaccines are a personal choice. Just like beards, entertainment and dress & grooming.

they have registered their business at companies house under business code 41100 - development of building projects.. opening their latest full accounts filing it says on page 4 under principle funding sources:.
โthe society currently has two funding sources, one of them being the construction of new facilities or places of worship, which is invoiced at cost to other charities with similar aimsโ.
Well at least they're being honest ๐
