APOSNT, just remember that you may also be hoping the victims have to be there for the court proceedings. I don't feel it would good to hope that they would have to be there and go through this.

Saw a post on reddit...
by Biahi inmany exjw’s don’t remember their birthdays or birthdates, some actually guess and are off by a year or two.
i’m always proud to say my age, and i’m a woman, here’s why.
i thought i would be dead in 1975. i turned 16 in 1975, and i thought god would kill me because he knew i hated being a jw, even though i hated it, i thought it was ‘da troof’.

I never knew how a jw could say they did not know their birth date. How ever did they get a drivers license without giving DOT one?

Probably WT Farms: not as many about 65 people in various houses in the farm area. 4 Bethelites from my congregation in NY worked at the Farm and lived in a renovated farm house, with a married Bethelite couple to act as the manager/supervisor and his wife cleaned the house and made meals for about 5 single male Bethelites.

JW visitors addicted to JW.org
by NVR2L8 inhow things have changed!
a childhood friend and her husband stayed with us for a few days and, except for when we went sightseeing, they spent most of their time on their digital devices viewing and listening to content from jw.borg.
a few years back i recall a stearn warning against the use of such devices at an assembly.

Soon, they will find JWN and become addicted, perhaps?
The WTS has opened the door to the internet to jws who woops find something they said they weren't looking for (in the case of porn that is)
As the WTS shows here (in 2015), using the internet can be a gateway to pornography (WTS opinion not mine)

8, 9. (a) Why did one young man have sexual relations with an immoral woman? (b) What situations can the example in Proverbs chapter 7 help us avoid?
8 At Proverbs 5:8, God’s Word warns us to stay away from immorality. In Proverbs chapter 7, we read the story of a young man who went for a walk at night near the house of an immoral woman. The woman was on the street corner, “dressed like a prostitute.” She walked up to him, grabbed him, kissed him, and said things that created wrong desires in him. He did not reject those desires, and as a result, he had sexual relations with her. Even though he did not plan to sin, he did. Then he had to live with the terrible results. If he had understood the danger, he would have stayed far away from her!—Proverbs 7:6-27.
9 Like that young man, we could make poor decisions because we do not understand the danger. For example, at night, some television channels show immoral programs, so it could be dangerous to keep changing the channels just to see what is on TV. It could also be dangerous to click on Internet links without knowing where they lead to, as well as to visit chat rooms or Web sites that include immoral advertisements and links to pornography. In these situations, what we look at can make us have immoral desires, and this can lead us to disobey Jehovah.

Interested in a refresher about the anointed
by frozen2018 ini've had very little to do with jw's since the early 1990's.
however, i do try to stay a little informed on what they are up to as i have several close relatives who are devout.
i rely on this site to keep me updated.. over the weekend i learned that a couple of my relatives, a father and son, have decided that they are anointed and had some bread and wine at the last memorial.

Ever heard of this angel power?
by blondie inhttps://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1961047#h=16:285-23:710. we may also safely conclude that angels, god’s spirit messengers, travel at tremendous speeds.
thus once when daniel began to pray, god dispatched an angel to him in answer to his prayer.
this angel, although coming from beyond the realms of outer space, reached daniel before he had concluded his prayer.—dan.

Nice points all. I really enjoyed the puns and humorous views.
I remembered this being said when I was younger (about 10) and other out of this world opinions (probably born in the mind of "Fred" Franz).

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1966923?q=angels+travel&p=sen
The Bible speaks of an invisible realm in which dwell spirit persons, the angels, much more powerful than man, who are able to travel through interstellar space where there is no atmosphere such as we on earth live in and, of course, they are beyond the need of any air such as we breathe and are not under its influence or control.
(yes speculation by the WTS was out there in the 60's and before)
Yes, in 1976, the WTS said is was no longer safe to conclude that.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1976485?q=angels+travel&p=sen
However, there are some questions that are best left alone. Speculative inquiries merely “furnish questions for research rather than a dispensing of anything by God in connection with faith.” (1 Tim. 1:4) In building faith, what value is there in presenting elders or the Society with such problems as: How fast do angels travel, and how long does it take a spirit creature to travel from heaven to earth?
(I wonder what would happen if a jw would share that gem with another jw in their congregation?)

1914 Was Originally Just 40 Years Past the End Date of 1874, That's All it Was!
by OnTheWayOut inyou don't need to understand complicated ways to go from 607bce to 1914ce.
you don't have to go back to the late 1700's to understand the founding of jehovah's witnesses on the back of william miller's teachings.
you just need to know that watchtower math and past doctrines along with changes in teachings are all based on lies.

est Work (Preaching) Complete
"HARVEST" is a term which gives a general idea as to what work should be expected to transpire between the dates 1874 and 1914." Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come p.135
"These, already examined, show that the close of 1874 marked the beginning, as the close of 1914 will mark the end, of this 40 years of harvest; ..." Studies In the Scriptures - Thy Kingdom Come pp.149-150
SETTING UP THE EARTHLY GOVERNMENT ---- Not until the full end of Gentile Times (October, A.D. 1914) should we expect the earthly phase of God's Kingdom; for in giving a lease of dominion to the Gentiles until that date God made no mistake and his plans alter not. The earthly phase of the Kingdom of God when set up will be Israelitish; for such is God's engagement or covenant with Abraham and his natural seed. Even the chief favor, the spiritual Kingdom, was offered first to fleshly Israel, and would have been given to them if they had been ready at heart to receive it on the conditions attached to it, - to suffer with Christ and afterward to be glorified with him." Studies In the Scriptures - The Day of Vengeance pp.624,625
The end of the harvest was to be followed by both the heavenly and earthly paradise.
"When this is fully accomplished, as it must be within this harvest period, then will follow the resurrection of the ancient worthies, then the kingdom of God, in both its heavenly and earthly phases, will be established and manifested to the world, - an event due at the close of this harvest period and time of trouble." Watchtower 1895 May 15 p.123-124 reprints 1816
