The World Today
by peacefulpete ini've been meaning to share some recent experiences that defy the usual tropes about the 'world gone to hell' or 'people now days".. as some of you may remember i was seriously ill for a while and had to close my business and shop.
now, as it seems i have beaten it, i put up a sign again advertising that in a limited way i'm back.. what amazes me is how many times over the past 2 years customers and even competition have written and called to express their concern and best wishes.
just last week i had a personal visit of someone who i thought of as a rival, come in and shake my hand sincerely happy to see me up and around.

THE PROBLEM WITH THESE 2 NEW GB MEMBERS APPOINTMENTS
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/rjr0ugtu6zu?si=d3zsz20ee33gytxi.
these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.
these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.

:) lol BINGO we have a winner: "a glib, BS-spouting real estate agent trying to legitimize an unorthodox trade-school 'education'. No degree, no legitimate university education." AKA = 1st degree boot licker.
No Theological reasons, just more money making guys for Watchtower.
Reminds me of an old 70s Beatles Peter Sellers flick "The Magic Christian". People willing to do anything for MORE MONEY including diving into filth to grab more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xg2v_T2XH8

JWN, 23 years posting Blondie
by blondie incan 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.

I guess we can leave all the Theology angles out of the equation...simply FOLLOW THE MONEY.
Now they have a guy who understands REAL ESTATE at ALL Governing Body meetings. How to buy, sell, borrow, and lend.
Will the NEXT GB member be one of the new Irish Hedge Fund managers???????

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

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?
by Athanasius inon 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.

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.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING UPDATES JWFACTS.COM
by blondie ini 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.
