  New WT Hisotry channel on You Tube

  by Fr.RAS in

  for those interested in wt history you need to look at the relatively new channel over at youtube called wt-history.

  stuff i have never heard of before focusing on russell and rutherford with excellent documentation.

  theses two guys, jeff and paul who know this history better than anyone i have ever read with original documents, go through the history very professionally and with high accuracy.

  anointed great grandmother who woke upi arrived at the coffee shop on my bicycle and took up a seat at the outdoor table in the fresh air.

  (this was way before the pandemic).. a lady with permed white hair walked over to my table and spoke directly to me.. i was wearing earbuds at that moment and didn’t hear.

  i popped them out and asked her to repeat herself.. “that’s a beautiful bicycle you have there.

  Another great story, Terry! I wonder what ever happened to that letter she wanted read at her funeral. I bet the Society still has their copy, squirreled away just in case they ever want to use for propaganda purposes. Wouldn't it horrible if some apostate hacker dug it up and put it on the internet?

  I will never be a slave to the overseers of political correctness. I shall shuffle over to my master bedroom and peruse the whitelist of approved words. I don't want to be blacklisted for using banned words. Also, I don't personally know Tom Lynch, but I think he should change his last name because of the implied association with systemic racism in the past.

  If any individual elders have any assets to speak of, I'd bet their lawyers and/or financial advisors would strongly urge them to resign their positions immediately. It sure seems like the Borg is trying to leave them high and dry. I just wouldn't chance it if I were them.

  Wicked, evil and morally bankrupt criminally oriented organisation fails to sign up to victim redress scheme.

  by Holey_Cheeses*King_of_the juice. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to those who are familiar with the watchtower crime syndicate it comes as no surprise that the borg has bluntly refused to participate in the australian government arrangement for organisations found responsible for the abuse of innocent victims of sexual assault to be compensated for the abuse inflicted as determined by a royal commission.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-01/government-names-shames-institutions-not-part-of-redress-scheme/12406850.

  if you are an active, or in anyway associated with this group of low life pieces of worthless shit, you should be also named and shamed.. cheeses.

  now even more a hater of these grubs.

  I hope this, along with the Swiss Court's ruling that the anti-cult activist's charges against them were factual under the law, will bring the Borg under even greater scrutiny and into greater disrepute.

  I'd love to see them lose all official status, especially their tax advantages and any official recognition.

  Very moving story, Terry. You're a wonderfully gifted writer, able to put into words what others (like me) find hard to even read, much less express.

  That said, I'm so glad you got to catch up with your old friend. I hope that belated connection offers you both some comfort, even if things haven't gone spectacularly well for either of you and there's far too much water under the bridge for things to change course now.

  I hope you can bear to stay in touch. I think you'll be glad you did.

  Take care, my friend. Looking forward to your next tale.

  Excellent! Thank you so much for posting this, Petra!

  Forwarding this doc to several friends, relatives, and aquaintances for their consideration. Can't say it's apostate info. It's just a press release commenting on an official Court judgment.

  $77 Million sent OS from Australia

  by why144000 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  poor watchtower in australia, they made a loss of $1,537,325 in 2019 according to their filings with the government.

  they obviously can't participate in the national redress scheme as they don't have the funds.

  only problem is that they have sent over $77,000,000 of donations from australian publishers to overseas branches in the past 4 years.

  Not only that, but the leaders should be prosecuted and the organization severely penalized for this fraud.

  Bringing Reproach on Jehovah's Name

  by cofty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  all my jw life i was reminded constantly about the importance of not bringing reproach on jehovah's name.

  decisions on whether or not to disfellowship an individual often turned, not on the seriousness of the sin, but on whether the incident was public knowledge and had resulted in bad publicity for the congregation.

  i recall a middle-aged lady being reported to the elders for shoplifting a sweet worth less than £1- and the elders' insistence that a judicial committee must be formed because the store manager and staff knew that she was a jw (i successfully argued that all she needed was support for her dreadful family life, but that's another story).

  I can just hear their offer of settlement and redress if allowed to handle things individually on their own:

  "Sister, it's too bad your parents didn't protect you from that elder and his teenage boys all those years. Tsk, tsk. Well, at least you didn't get pregnant and bring reproach on Jehovah's name. As a full settlement for your years of emotional pain and the psychiatric therapy you required, the Faithful Slave has graciously decided you may be forgiven if you choose to suspend your regular monthly contribution for a month or two. What a loving provision from Jehovah! Would that make things all better?"

  Given the quality of the "spiritual food" that bags like this were supposed to contain, I can think of no better use than as an emergency toilet. Might come in handy if you have to bug out on short notice.
