Is his 'girlfriend' a JW? If not, his parents may try to witness to her, love bomb her & she eventually becomes a JW. This happens. 😞

Morning Woship: Kenneth Flodin targets "apostates"
by Sanchy invideo is entitled "beware of deceit" he uses the letter of jude to show that current day apostates are deceitful and that they use "trickery" to and "twist facts" to try to "grab our mind".
warning: your head might explode.
especially past the 5:30 mark.

I expect there will be 'many' talks in the future about "apostates." "Apostates" are their #1 enemy above the U.N. and the Catholics Church anymore.
Flodin refers to a copy received by apostate source, of a WT copy about Russell's writings as "truth," and not needing the Bible. He says it was a manipulated copy done by apostates.
Do any of you have that reference that he says is a lie?
Of course, the GB don't want anyone to know about the early writings of Russell and any facts of the early WT days.
On the other hand, since Flodin admits he checked this source, perhaps some will also try to verify any questionable sources too. (Of course, most JWs won't research anything.

Judge sanctions WTS - $4k per day penalty for not producing sex abuse documents
by Simon injudge sanctions jehovah's witnesses.
imposes $4000-a-day penalty for not producing documents in sex-abuse case.
by dorian hargrove, june 24, 2016. a san diego superior court judge has ordered the church of jehovah's witnesses, also known as the watchtower bible and tract society of pennsylvania, to pay $4000 a day for every day that it fails to produce documents requested in a civil lawsuit brought by former parishioner, osbaldo padron, who claims a church elder sexually abused him when he was seven years old.. in a june 23 ruling, expected to be made final today, judge richard strauss admonished the church for willfully ignoring a court order to produce all documents associated with a 1997 body of elders letter that church leaders sent to parishes around the world in a quest to learn about sexual abuse of children by church leaders.. over the course of the past year, the watchtower society and its lawyers have fought hard to keep the letter confidential, claiming that turning over the documents would infringe on the privacy of those mentioned in the letter that were not associated with the case.. in march 2015, the church turned over a heavily redacted version of the letter.

Happy to 'chime in' with this group here. I was 9 yrs old when I was told my folks and I would never get old - 60 yrs ago. In 1970, I was assured mom would be resurrected 'soon.' So, for a dozen years or so, I juggled these and many JW issues. I chose to accept 'reality' versus JW lulling dreams. I have not missed the unrealistic JW world for one second!

Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This
by sir82 injws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.
i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?
where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

Thank you, sir! I wonder who of the GB were raised in org and only a couple or few in all had any biological children? I know a few years ago, it was stated on this site, there were about 88,000 elders in U.S. I wonder what percent of elders were raised in org? The org. has only been a burden for their children, totally unrealistic.
I assume Steve Lett was raised in as he was at Bethel by 20 yrs old or so.

Is this a desperate measure to get the young brothers to reach out because of the organization's need for "ministerial servants"?
