WTBTS/JW's Copyright Hypocrisy?
by The Fall Guy ini remember one congregation's territory maps used to be copied from an ordnance survey map , which is crown copyrighted and requires a licence fee to do so.
naughty jw's.. https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/licensing/licences/paper-map-copying.html.
afaik, jw congregations don't employ professional map-makers, (cartographers) so how do all the uk congregations obtain such copyrighted items for their business?.

Only jw's .....
by carla in"(14) arranging for elders to visit or write a letter to addresses of households that have asked that no further visits be made.—see 23:21.".
what is so hard for them to understand that someone is requesting to be a 'do not call'?.
how does that conversation go?.

Tbh most houses only get called on once a year in some territorys. So the yearly do not call is not missing anything

Similarities to David koresh doctrines
by purrpurr ini've just been watching a bbc documentary about waco, when the doctrine of the seven seals is explained by the branch davidians it is frighteningly similar to the interpretation that the wt have.. i also note that they use the term "new light" as well.... i don't think the gb would ever "force" an "armageddon" type situation like koresh did..

Are the younger generation taking on roles in the Cong?
by purrpurr ini notice that several of the congs i've been to seem to have a majority of the male roles performed by older men.
very few young men are wanting to be ms or elders etc.
it also seems like very few young people are being pioneers either.. would you agree with this?

I know of several young jw men who actually resented how little they saw of their elder dad's when they were growing up. And they don't want the same for their kids, strangely enough the younger generation want to take an active part in their children's lives. Then there's the huge workload, of which they will have seen their own dad's struggling with. The late night calls from distressed jw's wanting support, the report writing, letter writing, extra meetings, extra training and that's all before the issue of jc's is considered.
A recent co at an assembly actually said from the platform that the wt has lost a whole generation of ms, pioneers and elders. The young just don't want it and really who can blame them?

Df'd minor thrown out of home
by purrpurr inhave you ever heard of a jw minor getting disfellowshipped and their parents then throwing them out of home?
i know of 1, 14yr old, df'd for smoking and the very same night it was annoced his mother kicked him out of the family home on to the streets!.
unsurprisingly as an adult he's never returned to his mother or the wt .

Humans only survive for 3-5 days without water...
by purrpurr inand yet today's watchtower and indeed the bible condemns the israelites for moaning about having no water!
it's never occurred to me how unjust this is!
and how could a so called loving god not provide a basic human need?!.

Perry. An important point you're forgetting is that pharoah multiple times agreed to let the israelites go but god changed his mind for him and hardened his heart. Effectively pharoah was being controlled like a puppet just so god could show off.
The God of the ot is not morally acceptable by any standard that isn't uneducated superstitious bronze age
