Governing Body missing their big chance
by under the radar init seems to me that the governing body is missing an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that they are indeed the faithful and discreet slavetm.
even if, as they claim, they collectively constitute the slavetm only when meeting together to consider spiritual matters, surely any one of their number could expect to be guided by holy spirittm when testifying before the australian royal commission on such an important matter.. in fact, they should widely publicize the hearing and encourage all jw's to watch it live.
this would show they have nothing to fear and really believe all the (hot steaming piles of) spiritual food they've been spewing.. after all, their own translation of the bible says, at matthew 10:18-20, "18 and you will be brought before governors and kings+ for my sake, for a witness to them and the nations.+ 19 however, when they hand you over, do not become anxious about how or what you are to speak, for what you are to speak will be given you in that hour;+ 20 for the ones speaking are not just you, but it is the spirit of your father that speaks by you.".

New Britian Branch set to open Dec. 31, 2019?
by JustVisting inaccording to the august jw broadcast the new britian branch is scheduled to open by december 31, 2019 and is currently the 2nd largest construction project (assuming warwick is the largest).
are the current facilities that spread out that a more centalized location the main reason for acquiring and developing an 85 acre site?
also, with the end looming on the horizon, what message does that send regarding making long-term plans?

What is their official explanation for not allowing beards?
by keyser soze ini ask because my gf, who knows all about my jw upbringing, convinced me to grow a goatee, just to see how it looks.
we both decided it looked good so i decided to keep it.
i tried to explain to her that as a jw, i wasn't allowed to grow one, but then drew a blank when she asked me why.

the watchtower cannot lose if brother jackson goes before the RC.
the 8 ish million rank and file brain dead dubs will lap it up and praise de lawd forever and a day whatever crap he comes out with.
the small army of apostates will no doubt gleefully pounce on anything he says----but that will only serve to reinforce the views of the dubs anyway.
the other 99.99% of the population simply wont give a shit.

Bumbling idiots..... RC & JW broadcast
by snare&racket inone of the contributing factors to me leaving was the realisation we were being led by idiots.
bethel life reinforced that, middle aged ego's trying to suck up to brooklyn.
ray franz book was a final nail for me, because he described the same incompetence along with the same ego's.

Either the GB are figureheads and not the guys really "in charge", or we won't have to wait long for a spectacular crash of some sort.
armageddon maybe ?

of course he will attend--what GB member could resist the limelight as they give a fine witness to jehovah---setting a great example for the rest of the sheep to follow.
or then he might not.
