I am baffled that John 8:1-12 was removed from their bible.
did they really ? why ? what reason have they given ?
i recently had a discussion with a jw concerning a change in wording of a scripture - in fact this was my all time favourite scripture, namely, micah 6:8.. my view is that the wtbts have deliberately changed the wording and meaning of the said scripture.
the other person is of the opinion that that is not the case.
micah 6:8.

i had to go into a office close to a supermarket on a very high traffic expressway with next to no persons on the street anyway ever near.
i see this jw lady about 65 yrs old standing there alone with 2 bags of groceries staring at the catholic church one side across the interstate road and the kh across the other side of the highway.
cross bronx expressway.

i do hope Simon doesnt ban JYD completely...just warn him to moderate his bad language and offensive childish comments.

JYD reminds me of Mick Belker in Hill Street Blues. ( loved those series )

i was talking to a very pimi relative the other day.
despite been ultra orthodox she is a sweet old soul.

is it worth trying with elderly dubs ? why try rocking their boat ? they will be getting their promised resurrection any time soon.
go after the young dubs--they have so much more to gain getting out of the cult.
one of this things that constantly reminds me of the extent and the reach the organization has into our lives, is the fact we all need pseudonyms to have a conversation or to make a comment in this even here in this place.
even when people have left the society (by however it has occurred), its rare to see somebody change their online presence to their personal name.. now i'm not expecting people to do that of course, fore we are all free to do what we like (which is the real beauty of this forum) but the fact that it doesn't occur that often, shows how much we've all been effected by being told over and over again, "not to be critical of god's organization".
of course there could be an number so side issues at play here; with some people not wanting to burn their bridges in an attempt to keep what reputation they have left intact and sadly a small minority others, do enjoy the anonymity to just talk trash ... but if a person can not feel free to stand up and respectfully make a critical comment or ask a thorny question without fear of repercussion from their religion, then doesn't it show that there is no real freedom in that faith.
when i first discovered the internet world of xjw's, i used the pseudonym BIGMAC, and stan livedeath as a facebook name for xj activity. i think someone complained to facebook management and the listing was taken off.
i now use the name Mac Jaxon on facebook.
the reason i was incognito was just in case some jw recognised me--and caused trouble for my father ( Jack--hence Jaxon ). as he died in 2016 there is no longer any need for pseudonymity.
