You need to use the pause button so you don`t miss the texts .
I thought it was pretty good , straight to the point , using there own words / publications etc.
Show this to anyone still in and they reject it , then your only conclusion could be , they either have there head buried in the sand , there head up there arse , or they are just plain brain dead , or sadly , stupid.
I`m sorry , I missed brainwashed

just curious what would wt do if a government said reform your policy on shunning or you will lose your charity status.
we will also be monitoring your reforms and there will be consequences if not brought up to our standards.
I would be asking why do they have a Charity Status in the first place ?
They do no Charity work for the general community at all ?
Any aid they claim to give is for there own members or family members or persons who they consider are prospective members .
They do no charity or Aid work for anybody else period.
How they have got away with this farce for so long anywhere in the world is beyond me.

so, it's that time of year again.
here's a few of my predictions.
) no armageddon.
1.) Vincent Toole ,will be sacked , demoted , as the Lawyer for the WT. Bethel H.Q. Sydney.
2.) Jehovah`s Witnesses Org. will dig themselves deeper into a hole with the A.R.C. , refusing to accept there recommendations .
3.) There will be an even greater influx of newbies to sites like this exiting the Borg.
4.) The 144,000 will become a symbolic number , and never reported again
5.) The WTB&TS will pocket Billions of Dollars from real estate sales especially in New York .
6.) They will still be begging for more money in donations etc. and saying they do not solicit for money ?
7.) Many more child abuse cases around the world will be found in favour of the victims with millions of $$$$ in compensation .
8.) A significant decrease in membership overall , and baptisms for the year .
9.) The selling off of many more KH`s around the world to try to balance the books
10.) The WTB&TS is now on a downhill slide to obscurity where it will never recover from.

according to jw beliefs the anointed / 144000 are going to rule with jc for a thousand years .as kings rev:20;4 .
i think they , the anointed , would be more important in the scheme of things than an elder or a ministerial servant in any congregation.. yet for the most part , they have no say or any position in any of the congregations in the world , and certainly not if they are female , however heaven accepts female anointed ones.. yet here on earth ,along with there service , elders and ministerial servants , with the holy spirits blessing , are appointed to there position in the congregation.. apparently there is no such scrutiny , guidelines or procedures in place , no holy spirit , or performance of service to determine who is an anointed person , so that any tom dick or harry ,mary jane or joan can claim to be an anointed person and it is accepted by the watchtower organization .. .
can you imagine every male claiming to be an elder in a congregation if you use the same guideline/ leeway that is given to the anointed ?.
Surely sooner or later they will have to say the 144,000 are a symbolic number , we all know they are slow learners coming to grips with obvious changes that have to be made .
Evidently the G.B. are not that bright.

i told a still in dubya that the wt was now officially in the real estate buisness.. they looked at me like i had grown a second head.
so i showed them a web site, which they loudly proclaimed to be "apostate".
then i showed them the rest of the web site and asked how long the official jay dubya dot org web site was aligned with an "apostate" web site.. i hate to link that site but as it is somewhat covered up by the dubya's and it may be of some use in making someone think about the money grabs, and the constant begging for more money from those who have little of it for the necessities of life i do so here.
And they claim to be a not for profit Religious organization with tax free charitable status ?
The relative Authourities should take a closer look at this excuse for a religion .
It just shows , your example that is , how indoctrinated , blind to reality ,people can be when they are brainwashed .
That reminds me of a C.O. at a convention who said that our brains needed to be washed , and everyone applauded .
How do you get through to people like that ?

i just saw a commercial for a new movie coming out.
spotlight - about a newspaper exposing the cover-ups of the catholic church about child sexual abuse.
michael keaton, mark ruffalo.
I highly recommend this movie also ,surprising how much like the Catholic Church Jehovah`s Witnesses are in covering up and refusing to put the victims of abuse as there main priority and concern above there own image.

being as serena williams shows outstanding abilities and skills at that which she exerts herself in, such as tennis, it would seems reasonable that serena williams has the same high level of abilities in all of her worthwhile endeavors.
perhaps she has this level of abilities in her journey as one of jehovah's witnesses.
would it not be reasonable that those who need greater clarification and understanding of certain bible subjects, to make contact with serena and ask her such questions?.

You can also say that with Roman Catholics , There are tons of baptized Catholics that aren`t Catholics at all they are fake , living double lives .
True Catholics are the hard core followers of their faith
There are no Catholics in prisons , they are all fakes .

As I understand the op , Kevin could be saying to the Borg.something like this .
You send out more than 7 million people going from door to door every month ?
Spending millions of hours door-knocking ,?
And you get F*":#k all increase ?
Your CEO Jehovah should be sacked for incompetence .

if this has been discussed i missed it.
i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.
but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

If I remember correctly the numbers never went below 8000 , and they hung around that figure for decades , and then gradually started to increase , to the point they are now over 15000 participants.
The Society has controlled the numbers of all those being appointed in there organization sanctioned by the G.B.
Elders M.S.etc. Etc.
All except the most important appointment , the anointed , so it seems. Which the Society seems to have no input whatsoever , they are not involved in there appointment , they dont seem to have any impact whatsoever who is an anointed person .
Isn`t that strange ? The most important appointment and they have no involvement in it ?
The anointed are the ones to rule with JC as Kings , not the elders or MS ,DO, or whoever

paragraph 12 recommends that we meditate on the weekly reading for the theocratic ministry school.
ok, i'm splitting hairs here.
but there will be no more tms in a week.. somebody isn't keeping up with jehovah's celestial chariot..
Didn`t they say something to the effect in a court of law that they didn`t conduct schools ?
Case of Steven Unthank Vs WTB&TS in Vic. Australia
Is that what you are ref. to LostGeneration ?
