imagine if all the governing body resigned and a new set of brothers came in and said we are very very sorry for all those who have been disfellowshipped and disassociated over the years.
we know many mistakes have been made.
we are really genuinely sorry to all those who have been hurt and especially those who have died and been hurt by these mistakes.
I agree with Magnum, also. Would take a lobotomy and a valium drip to be part of that so called religion.
The west must be full of lazy, deadbeats, Longy. Halls (enablers) out here beg/collect from studies for handouts to those in the 'in crowd.' I'd never been around so many lazy, entitled, slugs, in my life.
well -- couldn't proof to change again after hitting some key ^^^ - on call at same time w/XJW who returned to the fold. Oh my 😥
My cousins (older than I) were being drafted during the VN war. A couple enlisted - dropped out of college and I think deferments were option if in enrolled. A couple said they'd be drafted anyway. One didn't return for yrs. (prisoner of war) -- the one I begged to dodge the horror.
Re/"vaccinations -- it was my understanding (this board) they were compulsory for JWs to return to in-house meetings. I'm afraid to ask for details re/my fam members, but I've certainly lost sleep over it. The ruling class at headquarters (the proper term gags me and I'm not referring to them as the governing goons) must have had saline "vaccines" - still going strong.
Welcome Redsetter -- you're presently at WHQ?
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.

Oh my -- I, too, 'assumed' it was a WT video.
just 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.
