Dear Brothers and Sisters. We, the Governing Body have received a beacon of new light from beyond the Pleiades and are very happy to announce that that we can now "walk on the wild side". For further clarification, listen to a song by Lou Reed which you can download from YouTube.

U turn on LGBT
by ExBethelitenowPIMA infeb broadcast they have a drama about someone who works with a colleague who is gay.. they actually make it sound like the jws are the only ones who support him and is tolerant of him and everyone else is against him🤣.
after all these years they try gaslighting and saying we are the ones who are tolerant and everyone else is not!!!.
you couldn’t make this up.. after this monumental u turn now, what about all the gay people who were born in’s who have been shunned by their own family?.

Jehovah provides Javier a part-time job
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | march 2025. keep walking by faith.
7 note how javier, a brother in south america, saw the need to walk by faith.
he says: “i had applied for a prestigious job that would double my salary and provide considerable personal satisfaction.” however, javier had the deep desire to pioneer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought there was no more door to door work. I never see JW's anywhere. How the hell does one pioneer these days? Such a waste of time.

As we live in the last hour of 2024, I want to wish all of you a Happy New Year.
All of us have come a long way. We have faced the dragon and spit in his face. We are no longer captives.
I sometimes wonder how the hell I made it to my soon to be 78th birthday.
Since I woke up and left over 24 years ago, I downed enough alcohol that my liver should be rock hard. But thankfully, I no longer do this shit. I am perfectly happy drinking my herbal and exotic full leaf tea these days. And with good organic coffee thrown in every morning.
Right now, I'm listening to old R&B music from my younger days in the 1960's. Love ballads and such! My mind goes back to my life before JW takeover. I think of my first love and how I would have died for her. Then I got drafted and before I knew it, I got the Dear John letter. Two years later, I was done with the Army and started listening to my mother who became a JW in 1961. Started studying and met the next love of my life who became my wife. I was happier than I could ever imagine.
26 years later, my wife died of ovarian cancer. For the first time in my life, I was alone. Oh yes, I still had my mother and father and my daughter.
Jumping to today...28 years since my wife died, I live with my daughter. I feel truly blessed that she wants this old codger around. I'm also happy and blessed to have relatively good health.
But you know what is really strange? For decades, I haven't been able to shed the image and memory of my first love. The girl who wrote the Dear John letter when I was in basic training. It was 1983 that somehow, she got in touch with me, and we had so much to talk about, and what happened to our relationship. We met on the sly. I was totally screwed up. I wanted to go back in time to when we were in love. I was messing up my marriage too. Thankfully, we didn't go all the way.
Why am I admitting to all of this? I don't know how much sand I still have in my hourglass, and I cherish my memories, good and bad. I also wonder if any of you other old codgers and ladies, have old memories and people you had in your life keep invading your daily thoughts. My mind keeps going back to those days of my youth. I can't tell you how many times I dream of that first love, and others from my young days. Doing an internet search, I have addresses of many people I knew in those young days. Would I be wrong to write to them (my first love who isn't married) and others, or should I just put it in the "Closed" file?
I'm still a HappyDad. But I wonder about things that might have been.

You need to marry a ministerial Servant!
by John Aquila ina single sister in her 40s and her two single daughters were visiting my mom.
i would say her daughters are in their early 20s.
my mom got sleepy and we put her to bed but the three sisters stayed to finish their drinks..

Oh yes! Ministerial Servants and Elders are the pillars of Jehovah's earthy organization.
Let's rattle my 77 year old brain a little to bring back inside the borg memories. rattle rattle rattle.
Among the MS's and Elders I personally knew, there was a successful suicide, and two attempted suicides.
Two MS's who's wives divorced them for physical abuse. One was only married for two months (his first wife divorced him. Hmmm, wonder why?) when his second wife left and divorced him. Hah....she wound up getting alimony.
A married Elder in my congregation disappeared for over a year. It was later known that he was living with another woman and was also a crack addict. All of a sudden, he reappeared and stepped right back into the role of Elder. Go figure! It seems that the PO at the time knew everything.
About 6 months before all of this went down, I had resigned as an Elder, so I wasn't in the loop anymore, but a fellow Elder kept me informed as much as he could to the shenanigans going on. The attitude of this PO was a very big part of the reason I resigned. The other elders to my knowledge were also kept in the dark. Sometime after said Elder returned from his "hiatus", he was seen making a "purchase" on a street corner by a fellow member of the congregation. When this eyewitness reported the incident to the PO, they were told to say nothing more about it. Guess what? Nothing was done. Eventually, this crack addict and his wife moved 1200 miles away to Florida. Let's forward about 20 years later. In 2014, this guy was killed in a car wreck when he crashed into a concrete pole on the Interstate. Interesting!
I wound up leaving this congregation. My new congregation would be paradise compared to the previous one I spent over 25 years in. Yeah right!
Yes, Elders and MS's, and don't forget the Pioneers, folks, They make wonderful husbands too. LMFAO. About six months into this new atmosphere, the wife of this Pioneer couple came to a meeting with the worst black eye I had ever seen on a man or woman. She wanted the entire congregation to see what a wonderful Christian her Pioneer husband was. He had been physically abusing her for their entire marriage, but this time she got the courage to let everyone know about it. They divorced.
At about this same time, my new congregation was one of two that met in the KH. The PO of the second congregation was a "fantastic" brother and a public speaker who would keep your attention throughout his entire talk. This "fantastic" Elder PO had a girlfriend on the side. Seems his wife found out and went to the Elders. Another one bites the dust!
Oh yes, young sisters, find a Ministerial Servant with a shit job, no ambition, and no sense of decency or loyalty, and marry him. What could possibly be better in Jehovah Organization?

It looks like people are waking up and leaving most of the mainline religions/churches. They are seeing just how corrupt and evil they actually are. Nothing more than a business that wants more and more money. The religions/churches are a far cry from what the first century "house" churches were.
I don't agree nor disagree, but I'm seeing a strong growth in the Hebrew Roots groups. Tons of info about them on YouTube. Many of them have gone to areas to start homesteads and live off the land rather than living in large towns and cities. They seem to be happy doing their "thing" at home, not in church buildings that want their money.
Do a Google search on Hebrew Roots Near Me, and you will be surprised how large it is actually growing. They are right in my backyard so to speak.

"Me, The Mob, and The Music". This is the book Tommy James wrote. It was well written and left nothing out about his music career. He tells what the motivation was for Crystal Blue Persuasion. Do a little research on your own with Google. It's as simple as that.

The next step to being a JW will be having a chip put in you so they can track your comings and goings.
'Oh my goodness, brother Soandso went to a bar. We need to have a meeting with him."
"Look at this tracking brothers. Young sister Hottotrot went to Goodstuff Arena the night a rock concert took place. I always knew she would stray."

Matthew 15:14 is really being fulfilled with Jehovah's Witnesses.
"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
I have a hard time understanding how an individual can still cling to this religion with all of the changes that have come about. Years ago, if we so much as hinted to some of these things that are now ok, we would have been called to an elder's meeting very quickly. Some have even been disfellowshipped for wrong thinking.

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.

Babystar said: I just realized something. It's strange that not only Tony, but also his wife has gone into hiding.
Remind me of Scientology. The head of the religion, David Miscavige's wife was last seen in public in 2007.
Hmmmm!
