  Never Bring a Knife to a Drone Fight

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  apparently, it's good news, everybody - mohammed emwazi (aka jihadi john) has been targeted by a us drone strike.

  the location was in raqqa, syria, a few yards from isis hq, near a clock tower where crucifixions are carried out.

  there are conflicting reports, some say he died instantly at 11:40pm yesterday, others say that he was badly injured and taken to a nearby hospital.. from what i've previously read about emwazi, he was apparently terrified of being targeted by drones - yesterday it seems his nightmare was made reality.

  This guy actually believed he could spit in the face of the ENTIRE U.S. intelligence community and get away with it.

  He was just asking for it.

  A famous boxer now retired used to say to his opponents, "one thing is to call out the devil, another matter is facing him."

  I think we lost him to the "Tower of Terror!!"

  @ punkofnice - very interesting video. I have always noticed inconsistencies but never followed up on them. Will do now!

  @ TheSearcher - I was expecting you any minute. Hahaha. Many good points you make as always. Keep them coming.

  Make your predictions!

  by Coded Logic in

  1. watchtower

  the more specific the better :) here are mine:.

  i predict that within the next two to three years (2017-2018) we will start seeing negative numbers in growth.. i predict that within the next thirteen to fifteen years (2027-2030) the number of jws will be less than 4million.. and i predict that by the time the first person sets foot on mars there will already have been a major split in the organization with either one of the gb or a branch overseer starting a new religion..

  They are getting desperate that's for sure. Counting a link as a placement?

  Is that any different than telling someone at the door where to go online to get more information? Or is that a placement?

  Things are going downhill fast next thing you know people showing even a slight positive acknowledgement such as a nod or handshake will be counted as studies or even associating with them.

  Honestly speaking, I see a major event perhaps through a series of events that collectively make up a drastic change for policies within the next 5 years. This could potentially include inciting and working up the members to another specific or decade date. They have to do something to stop the hemorrhaging of members fading, leaving, resigning, and being kicked out.

  Document Blood Transfusion Deaths - please help

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the vast majority of deaths from the blood policy are undocumented because they are simply not newsworthy.

  if you know of a death or serious injury/disability related to the blood policy, please help us document it.

  send as many details as you can recall.

  @ ILTTATT2 - thanks for making the list. I'm sure it was tedious work going through all those papers looking for them.

  I started a to do the same but I just didn't have the time. Now I have the time but instead have taken up the bible translation comparison work. :-)

  Did you know anyone who commited suicide in the org?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  back in 1991, a young brother maybe 18 years old living next to my place committed suicide.

  his father expected him to be very zealous just like he was, but the son never wanted to be like that.

  he was always controlled by his father.

  Thanks for bumping this thread GM.

  These are the kind of threads that wake people up or at least make them see the reality of some inhumane WTS practices and where they lead to.

  What I would like to see soon!

  by John Aquila in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i would like to see one or better two members of the governing body get disfellowshipped and they both go off to write books like ray franz exposing the cult to all the sexual scandals, the hidden agendas with the stock market investments, the lawsuits, the laying of long time bethel workers, hidden sins by the higher ups and all the other nasty skeletons in the watchtower closet..

  what would be different today compared to rays time is that we now live in a social media world..

  they would be invited to talk in the oprah winfrey show, ellen degeneres show, the view, dateline.

  I don't believe this would be possible today considering the GB knows the tremendous impact Ray Franz did to their movement. They probably have all higher ups (branch coordinators, bethel elders, committee members, and GB) sign a non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality agreement and extend this 50 years AFTER they leave if they are ever terminated, suspended, disfellowshipped, or made to resign.

  There are however, certain limitations in various country statutes that can make null or void depending on circumstances.

  That's my 2-cents. :-)

  i am not sure if it's true but i heard from a good source that wt has given instructions to elders to postponed disfellowshipping members from wrong doing/gross sin until further instructions given by headquarters.

  i heard some jws were just reproved either privately or publically.
