  Very nice interview. I was expecting them to run you off any moment. At least this bunch seems willing to listen to what you had to say. Too bad all they could come up with was the same ol' excuses. Still, maybe you got them thinking about the stupidity of saying babies are "enemies of God." Sheesh!

  Not to complain, but your video is flipped horizontally (left to right reversed). That's easily fixable and might remove the distraction of seeing the writing on the sign reversed. If you search for "flip video," several free solutions should pop up.

  It happens a lot with selfies when the setting on an iPhone is set to "Mirror Front Camera." To stop that, go to Settings > Camera > Composition and deselect Mirror Front Camera.

  I can promise that I will put exactly the same amount into the new contribution box as I put into the old contribution box. My contributions will therefore be twice as much as before: double zero.

  1,000 years well spent 1942-1946.. .

  this booklet was written by ray marsh and others while inmates of chillicothe prison.

  as jehovah’s witnesses, they refused to serve in the military during world war ii and therefore were sentenced to several years in prison.. .

  i’ll go first.. in a previous congregation we had a pioneer couple that have since gone on to be gilead graduates and are now either in circuit work or translation.

  they checked all the boxes off the societies list so they were exemplary.

  WokenfromJWcult: If you want to turn them in but don't want to get involved personally, PM me the details and I will anonymously report them myself. I can't stand cheaters and fraudsters who hide behind religion.

  If you have to sue a "brother" to make him honor a signed contract, it is HE who is "bringing reproach," not the victim who needs to be made whole.

  A JW may well be forced to resort to "worldly courts" for justice if the congregation won't help. That very refusal to hold members accountable also "brings reproach."

  the last 2 1/2 years have been extremely stressful.

  while the rest of the world was dealing with covid, i was also dealing with cancer.

  in fact it seems none of my doctors knew about it.

  I watched it and noted several similarities between the FLDS and the WT. The most disturbing was the insistence that the organization be obeyed even if the instructions don’t make sense or fit in with what the person feels to be right and just.

  The original post has a distinct “Six Screens” flavor about it. While I don’t doubt that the substance has the ring of at least a kernel of truth, it’s a bit strident and bombastic for my taste. Hair on fire, if you will.

  I will say it was entertaining, but as others have pointed out, it’s not really proof of anything. No smoking gun here.

  Thanks, Atlantis! This is truly a great find! At least we know what they're telling the authorities, so any discrepancies can be pointed out to prove they're sugar-coating it. For example, the boloney about normal family relations remaining. That only applies to those living in the household, and even then, relations are indeed strained.

  I wonder if this manual includes the recent instructions to the sheeple about not looking for loopholes or excuses to maintain contact with disassociated or disfellowshipped ones, "for example, by email or text."

  The Borg is well-known to misrepresent and twist the facts to fit whatever narrative they're pushing at the moment. Sheesh! I hope this blatant attempt to justify and whitewash this cruel practice backfires on them.

  Again, thank you for sharing this important document with us.
