I certainly don't condone what happened to her.
In her city, "Oakland is among many cities cutting its police budget, despite the rise in murders, doing so over the objections of its police chief."
Makes you wonder if there were more police boots on the streets of Oakland perhaps things like this would happen less often.
interesting find through a book "inside story of jehovah's witnesses" (1967) by w.c. stevenson, supposedly a former jw circuit overseer.
it's an interesting "apostate" perspective written prior to the wts 1975 debacle.. anyway, at a certain point, there's a quote from a book called "the four cults", by professor anthony a. hoekema (1963, william b. eerdmans publishing company), a calvinist, which makes some sharp remarks about the way jehovah's witnesses teach the dead coming back to life:.
1) in the case of those "resurrecting" for everlasting life on earth, one asks: if the soul is extinct at death, and the body disintegrates and its components are integrated into other forms of life, what is there to "resurrect"?
I once asked my jw how many clones of you could God make then? he paused and said, "I guess as many as he wanted". He still did not see the point. Went on to say that God wouldn't do that. How do you know that? change the subject.................
"when he who says: ‘all the gold and silver of the mountains are mine,’ fails to provide necessary funds, we will understand it to be time to suspend the [watchtower] publication.” consistent with that, there is no begging for money in the literature of jehovah’s witnesses.. what is true of their literature is also true of their meetings.
there are no emotional appeals for funds in their congregations or at their conventions.

In November don't they usually have a 'leave the wt your estate' sort of article? seems like they had an article every Nov. like that for awhile.
yep, i never heard him use profanity------ever.. a couple of us were invited to lunch, which in my case never happened before covid because i never got baptized.. but now i’m being invited by most of my jw family to family cookouts.
and we never talk about kingdom stuff.
they always ask questions about politics.
Loved the post!
We all giggle and bite our tongues around here when my jw lets a cuss word fly. Sometimes it is so funny we have to walk away.
i just watched excerpts from his cnn town hall event and something is seriously wrong with him.
he can’t put together a sentence without getting lost, tripping on his own words, forgetting what he is talking about.……this is embarrassing.
and it’s not because he has a stutter!
I think he has dementia, Alzheimer's or some other neurological problem associated with age. If you look back to his speeches when he was young they are like watching two different people. This has nothing to do with what political party one is associated with, he clearly has some sort of health issues.
maybe someone can help me here:when i got baptized at age 23, an elder dropped a bombshell on me.
he said that the new testament wasn't written for the great crowd (me).
he said that it only applies to the anointed, and "by extension" the nt applies to the great crowd.

i keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.
but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .
you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .
DOC said, "FACT IS, JW'S DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE."- until the gb tells them what to believe which is subject to change at any time. So much for God being the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, if one is a believer.

I think the jw's are listed as a cult in a number of books I have read in the past. These were books by cult experts not just Christians, though they could have been. They were college educated, theology, brainwashing, psychology
etc...

1 Awake and 1 wt for a whole year? how many did they used to print? was it 1 wt per month and 2 awakes?
At least this goes into 2022 so the end isn't quite here is it? if they forget their go bag on the way to the store they can relax a bit.
for whatever reason i was thinking on the topic of jehovah's witnesses' practice of disfellowshipping its members based on the concept of preventing "bringing reproach on jehovah's name".
follow me if you will -.
over 20 years ago a friend of mine did something rather crazy; he committed a major crime.
How jw's decide if one is a jw or not is almost irrelevant in the outside world. So often if there is a news story or some local scandal involving a jw or even someone who just goes to a kh on a regular basis the jw in good standing will say, 'he/she isn't a real jw anyway'. News to jw's everywhere, if a person goes to a kh even on a semi regular basis without being baptized, people on the outside consider them a jw.
