Unusual for a GB member to own a Real Estate Brokerage. Charlotte, NC is just a couple of hours drive NW of Lumberton NC (Tight-pants Tony's new home).

He has a couple of barely filled out profiles on Linked-in. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jody-jedele-a725892/

He is listed as a corporate officer on a Florida Assembly Hall- Daytona Beach: https://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=OfficerRegisteredAgentName&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=JEDELEJODYJ%20N940000029866&aggregateId=domnp-n94000002986-d2d018ab-0eb9-4bf8-ad80-a9d185288bad&searchTerm=Jedele%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20Jody%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20J&listNameOrder=JEDELEJODYJ%20N940000029866

JWN, 23 years posting Blondie

can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.

i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.

in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

Balaamsass2

Thank you Blondie.

I joined years ago as an EX JW to discuss EX JW issues and support other EX JWs and those leaving or examining Watchtower.

I have no desire to join another cult or high control religion after all the years wasted with Watchtower.

I am also grateful for Simon's work and time keeping this site up for all these years.

Where is Tony?

on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Balaamsass2

Silent Budda saw him. The taxes are getting paid. = proof of life. Good enough for me.

If someone wants proof, Send a card/letter, check$$, or tracked package.

by enoughisenough in

out of curiosity, i went to the jw website to see if they had posted anything about helene, it's damage, and what their relief plans may be, i any.

i looked in the news and in video sections to see if there were any postings.

i couldn't find anything.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING UPDATES JWFACTS.COM

by blondie in

i have followed an ex-jw website that has many articles on the past history of the wts and current articles using wt publications to tell the real truth not just the edited wt version.

considering recent changes this link to df'ing was updated in august 2024. it is worth a serious read, puts things in categories and has timely comments from a long-time ex-jw from australia, ex-bethelite and father is a circuit overseer.

i have used this many times so i don't "reinvent the wheel" when discussing certain topics on jwn.

Balaamsass2

Great post. :)

JWhub

i’m an elder who is pima, i’m amazed how much info is available to all elders.

you can see all private details of every member of the congregation.

i wonder how these sisters feel about their private details being available to these creepy elders?.

Balaamsass2

Fascinating thread.

How many EX Elders are on this site?

How many CURRENT Elders are on this site?

1974 Watchtower Prophecies verses Dad’s Prophecies. Who was correct? An old guy reflects on calamity howling.

by Balaamsass2 in

calamity howling is always in style with some folks, every year.

1974 was 50 years ago this year!

i was fresh out of high school bright eyed and earnest about all things jw and watchtower.

"As an Aussie, living in the southern hemisphere I find that mildly insulting." Actually it is a plus.

According to "prepping experts" rural Aussies are well situated should WW3 occur. Northern Hemisphere Jet Streams and Winds would kill millions as prevailing winds spread fallout from the various combative parties in USA, NATO, RUSSIA, CHINA and the Eastern Bloc . (once again "Worldly Dad" worked on nuclear triggers, stealth, microwaves, and reverse engineering Soviet Tech at work, and felt "the soviets preferred Electro Magnetic Pulse weapons to avoid excess fallout contamination in hopes of subjugating/enslaving their foes". His advice: "Store 30-120 days of silver, food, and water just in case you are lucky enough to survive the initial attack"-eeek!). :(

Personally, after LEAVING Watchtower, I now prefer to enjoy the remainder of my final years, go with the odds, and not get all worked up about possible "Armageddons" and every worst case scenario.

IF you REALLY think World War Three is about to start. It is time to get off this site, get that passport updated, buy and load up a sturdy well equipped sailboat, and then find a new home in the undeveloped southern hemisphere.

Staying home with a years worth of Prepper supplies, or expecting to book a flight at the last minute won't cut it... if real nukes start flying around. Radiation sickness and cancer are a shitty way to die slowly. Remember, the fossil record shows Sky Daddy didn't save the dinosaurs. :)

JEHOVAH'S WITNESS STUPID: a special category of ignorance

by Terry in

worse than being stupid is thinking you are smart while you are stupid.. i should know.. for many years i was a special category of "stupid"; i was jehovah's witness stupid.. .

what does that entail?

listen and i'll tell you.. ___________________________________________________________.

Balaamsass2

YES, I was JW stupid for many years as well!

Being brought up in Watchtower affected my life negatively in soooooo many ways.

I always did well in school and at work, but believing the "END" was "just around the corner" affected many life decisions negatively. "Failure to plan...is planning to fail."
