NotFormer - Yes, horrific not allowing alternative service for the JWs like Terry -- WT charlatans. Poor guys -- bad deal during Viet Nam. I had older male cousins non JW, thankfully, but it was bad and remember too well. Sad WT doesn't fold and collapse but I gave up hope yrs ago. Evil prevails -- always.

It was a win-win for WT. They not only shortened time collecting on estates of the elderly and perhaps childless, younger, couples, (know many younger ones who checked out/died not JWs) but also received compensation from government for promoting the horror. Why they'd need to worry about losing any tax exemptions is slim -- they jump to authoritative demands.

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.

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.

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.
