Might help the toxic religion's reputation -- people do not appreciate being distracted/interrupted at their homes. It's annoying and who shows up uninvited/unannounced other than thugs casing/home invasions or JWs. So rude/disrespectful of JWs (religions) having the right to leisurely stroll on private property.

Door to Door
by pontoon injust wondering if the witnesses still go door to door.
once in a while i see them doing their cart work and my still in relatives talk about going out in cart work, never mention door to door.
i haven't had a knock on my door since probably 2 years before covid.

Why would they apologize -- many elderly were snuffed out and WT picked up estates. It shortens life spans and called the 'slow-kill' method to speed up/continue big pharma's/medical $$$.

What kind of accountability is this -- makes me sick!! Way to go Australia! I'm not viewing their material. As usual WT skates.

'Hope Without Disappointment' sounds like they're assuaging the members' fears -- giving them a new type of hopium.
Mikejw -- I admire your hope but anything WT/JW is immense misery and blocks out any/all optimism for enjoying the present.

Murder JW Style (True Crime)
by Tahoe ina home remodeling job in england that went wildly wrong:.
a builder who bludgeoned his client to death with a hammer in a row over her new extension has been jailed for at least 15 years for murder.. peter norgrove killed sharon gordon at her home on 20 july last year.. her daughter rhian brown said norgrove acted like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" after earning her trust at the church they attended in dudley.. wolverhampton crown court heard he led the jehovah's witness service the same night he killed mrs gordon.. he repeatedly lied to her about the work he was doing, which took 15 months instead of six weeks.. .
"he didn't have the experience to be doing the work he was doing," miss brown said.. "he took full payment for the extension in advance, which we believe to be more than £30,000.".

Per sound advice from a PO yrs. ago, I avoid any/all employment situations where witnesses are involved. Couple yrs. ago had couple JW thugs working (construction) via my licensed contractor's crew. Told contractor they were done -- not allowed on my property and security would not be allowing any future entrance. He found out for himself the losers' work ethics and within a day terminated them from company. He'd blindly trusted them because of another JW employee's theatrics - I laughed when he told me and filled him in.
It's the same regardless the religion -- church goers love trashing house while cleaning, etc., etc. Have cameras but big deal.

Conversation with old friend
by LongHairGal ini recently had a conversation with an old acquaintance from the congregation i used to attend.

Longy - you're a smart gal and hope you enjoy that retirement for yrs. to come!
My friend returned to the JW fold (oh my) and is being asked some personal, financial, info -- she's being very evasive and cautious. She's educated, very intelligent, divorced, and owns a home - a target for free loaders and I warned her. She is still employed. All elderly adherents in her hall w/only couple younger ones.

Shaking Down Satan - WT Sues Norway
by Sea Breeze ini wonder how many witnesses are aware that the wt and their team of lawyers are currently suing the government of norway for millions of dollars?
i thought that the wt taught that all the governments were run by satan.
when i was a witness, this would have really bothered me.

Is The GB Paranoid? And Should They Be?
by NotFormer inthe gb seems to have a bunker mentality, that they are special, and that the world is out to get them, so they tend to keep within their tightly controlled, protective environment.
bottlegate proved that there is some danger outside of the rarified atmosphere of their echo chamber; you never know when a camera might be trained on you, or that someone might recognise you as being something more than plain old "joe citizen".
further, tm3's new address was quickly found and distributed, and (as i understand it) someone drove to his gated community to tell the security guard that tm3's "ass is grass".

Paranoid re/safety perhaps but the power/control over the adherents is the aphrodisiac that increases their arrogance. The oppulent, luxurious, lifestyle, compensates for any negatives. -

Thanks for the link -- excellent investigative journalist but I can't watch it all at one time -- oh my. I'll finish tomorrow. I hope all members on this board click and view.
No wonder many people want nothing to do with organized religion.
