well i think this pyramidion (a capstone to a pyramid ) looks a lot like the remembrance stone of charles taze russell, the watchtower president ,they may have taken and hidden his stone away but those of us who can remember it, it says a lot about russells belief in his version of prophecy based on egyptian pyramids holding gods secret of false prophecy..

my big one was: .

20: 5 "but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.
My favorite texts from the bible that make me wonder what god was thinking, and in turn the Jews and Christians and of course the WT try to ignore. I have not brought this up since the Royal Commission in Australia into child sexual abuse.
From Deuteronomy firstly Ch22 vs 22
" If a man is found lying down with a woman who is the wife of another man, both of them must die together, the man who lay down with the woman as well as the woman. So you must remove what is bad from Israel."
Ok this is for context ,so adulterers are FOUND and god says they must die and the reason is given to keep Israel spiritually clean.
Next from Deut: CH 22 Vs 23 -24another example
" If a Virgin is engaged to a man, and another man happens to meet her in the city and lies down with her , 24 you should bring them both out to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the girl because she did not scream in the city and the man because he humiliated the wife of his fellow man. So you must remove what is evil from your midst."
So an engaged girl is viewed as in marraige ,and because she did not scream it is assumed it was consensual sex,the text says nothing as to whether she was overpowered to the point of her mouth being covered and therefore could not be heard by anyone! In vers: 25 - 27 we see the lesson continues with the same man but in a different location and circumstance.
Continuing Deut: 22 vs 25 -27 THIS is key to showing the failure of the WT explanation of the 2 witness rule they use!
" If, however , the man happened to meet the engaged girl in the field and the man overpowered her and lay down with her, the man who lay down with her is to die by himself, 26 and you must do nothing to the girl. The girl has not committed a sin deserving of death. This case is the same as when a man attacks his fellow man and murders him." 27 For he happened to meet her in the field ,and the engaged girl screamed, but there was no one to rescue her .
The example above shows what should happen if the same man raped a virgin in the field with no one around to witness her screams. So the only witness is her word ,he dies for rape at her word for their was no one to witness this crime. So how can little children be not believed when people in the WT rape and molest them. And even when molested children or women ,when they keep quiet till adulthood and reveal the perpetrator ,why does the WT not reflect on these scriptures instead of incorrectly applying a two witness rule that clearly does not apply to circumstances like these and then DF people for holding to their truth ?
And following on from these scriptures above, Deut; 22 vs 28-29 where a girl and a man are discovered having sex where he siezed her (so no fault of hers) ,the man must pay the girls father ,but worse, she is forced to marry the offender. How unfair is that , and he cannot divorce her but she is tied to him as a slave bought at a price .Disgusting ,The man has already shown his violent nature but here we have this poor bound to this filth for life.
I think if I was that woman I would be looking very hard at shortening her anguish by doing him in.
So wheres gods wisdom here? Where is the WTS protecting the flock with the 2 witness rule when the scriptures by this example clearly show them badly in error ,even cruel .To show their attitude my own personal experience with my ex wife ,where she had been molested by her elder father for years as a kid ,we married and then she told me what happened and so began about 15 years of trying to get the WTS to handle this properly . It wrecked my health at the time .They never reported it to the police so she did. One elder in Queesland Australia when trying to talk to him about the WT stance said to me that if of a 100 people they found one innocent person who had been falsely charged of molestation, then the WTS is vindicated in applying the 2 witness rule . So there you have it ,and so began our leaving that unloving hypocritical religion.

the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.
some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.
Does anyone find it odd that people like Fisherman and Scholar seem to avoid topics like this......can't count hours maybe?
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
I think someone at bethel America is doing an excellent job at keeping the AM 111 news discreet now after some one let the cat out of the bag. Due credit to where it belongs.
However, I think the ExJW community deserves due credit as well for ,if you think about it ,bethel would not have done what they have done, and the way they did it ,unless they are running scared of the ExJW ;s who have seen thru the WTS and exposed how it operates to the world and the JW's themselves . The WT leaders have lost their power in this regard and must be so irritated at how speedily news gets out to the world by people who used to be controlled by them.
When I became a JW the governing body played the "discreet" role and hardly any witness knew who they were ,but these players today became a sad American pantomime.

llubrevlis2000-said " is he apostate? If so, he will be a hero and can do a lot of good and save a lot of people 😀"
Well I put up my hand up now to say that viewing TOMO as a hero would be presumptuous and foolish ,being part of a disgustingly hurtful group of egotistical false prophets this has not proved to be a decent human being let alone a follower of the bible Jesus.
Would it not be silly at this time not even knowing what's going on ,to start claiming how he would be viewed as a hero if he went "apostate".
At the moment I will regard him the same as an elder in my old congregation ,also an alchoholic (even at the meetings one could smell the booze) where the elder body did not discipline him till it was too late . People caught him molesting children at a public toilet .The witnesses tried to hide his lifestyle.
my first week of posts here were very serious and all the wonderful, encouraging replies helped me very much.. so now i want to ask something semi-frivolous.
(actually it's one of the many things that don't make sense to me about "the truth").
why do animals die?.
God says he is aware of even sparrows dying ,so do they have a spirit? Does this soul dwell in the cells of the creature?
If they return to god on death where and why would he keep them?
If the creatures don't have a spirit how is it that they function and die the same as us?
Where in the bible does it say at conception or birth that god puts a spirit in a human?
These sorts of questions annoy the hell out of irritated believers ,because thats all they have got faith and belief like I had at one time with no explanation or proof.
jw magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.. is it detailed?
name one person outside of noah’s family.
name one nephilim.
Well as far as heating and light that would be covered by taking some bamboo from a desert and sticking lengths of it up the rectums of the creatures and collecting the ample quantities of Methane gas ,very useful stuff.
Come to think of it gods people have been blowing gas out their bums for a very long time.
i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.
thanks..
What Alethia said ,when I started to be a JW they encouraged us to get copies of different Bibles for comparing ,I still have some ,and the emphatic Diaglott.
I wonder if thats the case these days ,perhaps that's the problem that Scholar has not using other translations ,and therefore he always comes up with the same thinking on things.
another example of jehovah protects his people except when he doesn't.

Jehovah must have been in the privvy
many of you are aware of the ongoing battle over clergy exemption from reporting of child abuse.
the question is, are we in the field doing enough to push for what is right!?.
there are always multiple ways of looking at an issue, and the viewpoint advocated by the catholic church, the mormon church and the watchtower church is that the provision of confession without the fear of being turned in to police allows an abuser to seek help to stop his abuse.
Seems to me that if the religious organizations report these crimes they have heard in confession they will lose members which in the end translates to dollars.
