Side note: I think it's hilarious that one of Diogenesister's comments got a downvote because of a passing mention of Cedars 😅

The Faithful and Discreet Slave Just "have" The Truth
by Number 6 inin the late 80's when i was in my late teens i used to with my then wife to be attend a monday night pre-watchtower study at a local elders house.. this guy was revered as very knowledgable and he was scholarly and interesting to listen to; so at the time it was a genuinely enjoyable monday evening spent with oftentimes discussion would veer far of the subject at hand and lasting to well after 11pm some evenings.. this particular night, the subject up for discussion was "the faithful and discreet slave" and how we should be obeying them without question.
right in the middle of the study this elder said as a question not in the wt article; "how do we really know the current fds as lead by the governing body are the real deal.
i mean what actual proof do we have?".

JWdotORG, JW Broadcasting, tablets instead of books, carts instead of door to door, real estate and fund theft, the FDS being exclusively the GB to centralize power, the move to Warwick, the acceptance of Christian rock and other pop styles previously viewed as inappropriate, the overlapping generation being elaborated and cemented, dancing to pop songs in the Hall, putting on Broadway style plays, having red carpet events and other over the top attractions at international conventions . . .

Merry Christmas Vanderhoven7, and thank you. It's comforting to read posts like this as a secret Christian / JW PIMO.

When Paul spoke against poor people in dirty clothing being made to sit in the back at meetings, he wasn't talking about 'newly interested ones', he was talking about Christians. There's nothing wrong with dressing up if that's what you want, but one rule leads to another rule and another without end. A very slippery slope.

Jehovah’s Witnesses form a barricade at Melbourne 2019 International Convention protest
by RULES & REGULATIONS induring the pyeongchang 2018 olympic and paralympic winter games, which were held from february 9-25, 2018, and march 9-18, 2018, brothers and sisters in korea engaged in a special campaign to offer the many international visitors bible-based publications free of charge.. .
here are protesters exercising their rights to free speech at a 2019 international convention in melbourne, australia.
just like the jehovah's witnesses have rights to hold up magazines while olympic attendees walk by, protesters at the jehovah's witness convention are not given their rights to walk around with their signs and protest.

Should't they cancel their meeting tonight?
by carla ini find it kind of amusing that as worldly people who pass by a kh and know nothing of jw's tonight will think that the jw's are having a christmas eve service.
many churches have a number of services tonight; children's program, family/christmas eve service and maybe a midnight candlelight service.. you know how some jw's won't even wear red between nov & dec lest anybody think they are celebrating the holidays?
well then, shouldn't they cancel tonight's meeting so nobody thinks they are doing their own christmas eve service?

They cancelled special holiday witnessing at my hall years ago, making it just the same as any other day. I just assumed this was done everywhere. Any PIMOs here that can confirm?

Pray before sex just like you do for food-W62 3/15
by krismalone inthe governing body has lovingly provided instructions and reminders to couples that they should pray before having sex.
please be obedient and follow the wise counsel from the gb leaders who never stick their noses into other peoples business and are not creepy cult leaders at all....not!.
"had he not created the first human pair so that they could cohabit, planted in them an attraction for each other and then commanded them to "be fruitful and become many"?
