I'm at the recorded meeting right now. Trying to hide my disgust sitting up front listening to Geoffrey Jackson quibble about the Pharisaical minutai of sanctification vs. vindication. The audience is thrilled that they now have 'permission' to say God's name can be vindicated. So pathetic! I wonder if anybody's noticed my droll expression, lack of applause and stifled eye rolling.

Well see that's the thing, now I feel like the Witnesses I've spoken to have this "Soon the preaching work will stop" mentality and that that means Armageddon is closer and now is the time to decide to get in the ark or get off.
That's the frustrating part: No matter WHAT happens, it can and will be spun in their favor.

Does JW Org Have Goons Like Scientology?
by Counter-Watchtower ini guess this would be a good question to ask.
does jw org have goons they send after ppl to threaten them?
or to inflict violence on?

1: So even less magazines, 75% reduction at this point, (used to be 24 a year). It's just as well, they were just recycling the same topics year after year after year and will probably continue to do so.
2: The current 2nd study publication is being simplified.
3: The Simplified WT is now going to be the ONLY WT, is that right? (Not that the normal edition was so advanced to start with.)
So besides the dedication program and inevitable 'encouraging' experiences, no other news?

I'm here virtually every day, don't like to miss a single post title or I could miss something big.
My favorites are Wifi Bandit's leaks of course, as well as reverse witnessing experiences.

Two issues with mobile site
by neat blue dog inhi simon, sorry i just thought of two more things:.
on the mobile version (i use android) i can't load images anymore, and when i could (months ago) they would only load in a very low, sometimes unusable resolution.
requesting a desktop version of the site in settings didn't work either, i had to go use a windows desktop.. also, all posts used to say how long ago they were written, but that often essential information no longer shows.. thanks..

Wow, it must be a different glitch for every individual phone model 😂
Well, Simon said he hopes to at some point release a new layout with an emphasis on being mobile friendly, so standardization should clear up a lot of these isolated quirks.

Altered Scriptures?
by punkofnice inmy spies tell me that the jobos recently had a broadcast where 2 scriptures have been changed.. luke 22.26you, though, are not to be that way.
but let the one who is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the one taking the lead as the one ministering.. 1 tim 3:1this statement is trustworthy: if a man is reaching out to be an overseer,+ he is desirous of a fine work.
i don't have the tech to locate the broadcast right now.

The most significant thing out of the two that I notice is that it no longer says "office" of overseer, just overseer. Everything else isn't much different.
