Was just thinking about this case. I had another conversation with my Mom as her eyes continue to open with regard to WT and their shenanigans. It seems that so much of the speculations on this thread have come true what with WT grabbing up and selling KHs. I know of an area in Pa US where 5 congregations were merged!

Hey all. It’s nice to interact again. So yes I saw financial dishonesty particularly as related to building construction. Bribing inspectors to allow shoddy work or work that was not up to code was something that I saw and knew about.
Mom is having her eyes opened with this Norway stuff. She detested Tony Morris’ attitude in the “update” video. We are experiencing the loss of my daughter and her granddaughter to shunning. So she has no love for disfellowshipping practices right now.
I have been able to introduce her to Google and the need for impartial sources when getting information. She is lapping it up.

I have been out for a long time now and have kept busy. But tonight my JW Mom asked me what is happening in Norway. So I researched and Wow! In my Google searches the JWD posts came up. So I dug up my old credentials and decided to resume posting. It’s so good to see JWN/JWD is still going strong.

@blondie, you’re quite right. I was baptized at 11 in 1978 and I was looked to for everything if an MS or elder was not around. I was in an inner city congregation in NYC so that kept me quite busy. I was after all the “brother” in the room.

Yes @blondie, this is their style. Problem of course is that they write so much stuff their printed words will get them just as in this case in Norway. It’s Matthew 12:37 coming true for them.

Watchtower looses Norwegian Appeal
by Diogenesister inwatchtower has just lost its appeal in the norwegian courts over the withdrawal of the funding it receives from the government as an officially recognised religion.
the initial decision will now stand due to what the court termed 'exclusionary practices' which includes the witnesses barbaric practice of shunning minors, even by family members in their own homes.
the ministry of children and families have decided they are now no longer eligible for the state grant of 16 million norwegian kroner given to officially recognised religions.. the following is a statement has been issued, i have summarised if it isn't readable: .

You know this is so simple. Follow the law. The Bible commands it. Being that WT claims to follow the Bible there should not be an issue. The Norwegian government is not commanding WT to break any Biblical commandments. In fact the government in question is not commanding anything. It is simply giving the conditions it will grant funds that it controls. The Norwegian government has that right.
As to the policy of child shunning, this is abusive. Any parent knows just how destructive bullying, social isolation and such actions are to a young person. It is simply wrong.

I wanted to share a short documentary that is premiering this week at the Bushwick film festival in New York City. This is all virtual and I am posting the link specifically for the documentary related to my experiences with the Jehovah's witnesses. However there is a lot of other good material here and I would recommend it.
This documentary goes into the story of the loss of my daughter when she turned 18 to Watchtower, and my efforts to get her back including visiting a Kingdom Hall where I believe she was present. Trying to raise public awareness of the horrible effects of shunning.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.
