jw.org is on collision course with russia.
the may wt study edition is full of prophesy related to the time of the end and what we have read so much in isaiah and jeremia bookstudy publications.. they found their enemy again.
jw.org needs enemy's to exist.
i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.
at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.
the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.
I remember being a child and feeling the change in atmosphere in the congregation when the PO walked after the congregational watchtower study to the platform for a special message.
Holding my breath, because I was sensitive. I still can feel it, and hate it so much!
Most of the local df's in our town were in the 70's related to apostate thinking.
What a sect, it is emotional abuse. For a child to observate it, being sensitive.

friends,.
of course we have the vampire story, but this is what i'm thinking of now:.
in the current dutch jw.org law cases about child abuse and religion rights the jw.org is represented by shane brady, partner of w. glen how & associaties.
Friends,
Of course we have the Vampire story, but this is what i'm thinking of now:
In the current Dutch jw.org law cases about child abuse and religion rights the jw.org is represented by Shane Brady, partner of W. Glen How & associaties. https://wghow.ca/partners-associates.htm
What I think, is that this law firm, fully owned by jw.org but presented to the outside world as independent law firm, is a money machine for Watchtower. It is very possible that the hours of the lawyers will be payed by the local witnesses cq. local Christian association of JW's.
The more and more I think about this vehicle, the more I smell a money machine.
When a court case is won by jw.org, the opposite party will be ordered to pay the lawyer costs. With this law firm jw.org can bring in a high cost level, because of the firm structure instead of a volunteer lawyer of jw.org
Let me know if i'm wrong with this.

hi guys...well watchtower gets wackier and wackier!.
so watchtower has hired the author of several books on satanism & self proclaimed 'vampire' society member(!
) vlad...i mean massimo introvigne to defend them against a report by two academics recommending the dutch govt investigate jws.
If you would write a book, you could not imagine this scenario.
I can't even talk with my jw father about this, because he will not believe it.
But it is a true fact that a Vampire is an important consultant for jw.org
O my God.

after the new construction project is announced, anthony morris the turd gives a talk where he arrogantly tells the audience to 'get over it' and get to work.
he says relaxing is fine and 'im not trying to put a guilt trip on you' but you all need to get busy.
no graciousness at all for the endless volunteer labor they demand for whatever new projects they dream up.
Anthony Morris III gave a remarkable speech, kind of "keep your f***ing mouth shut and work for us".
His eyes were arrogant and his style was so strange. These guys are going over the top.

This guy is part of CESNUR.
Watchtower has had close links to CESNUR since 1995, at the moments when they need them.
From inside thinking: This is the so called theocratic warfare. Use your enemy (Vampire) when you need them.
From secular thinking: this man is a so called expert on this subject and member of many of new religion expert groups.
A very strange cage, because in The Netherlands, Vampires are not well respected. I can see the face of the judge if he will notice this.

today i searched and found the jw chart at the station square just across the corner of my work hq, were i had an appointment.
this time they were not located at the central square, but hiding just arround a corner.
i looked the jw's in the eye, a man and his wife, +/- 50 years old, and they looked very depressed, down and quilty.

How would it be, with the full child abuse exposure in the Dutch media, to take your chart and stand at one of the busiest places in the country, knowing that all the passengers are well informed about the jw.org policy and strategy.
This must be killing for the local rank and file, enormous pressure, and maybe they see it as a sign of the end of times.

from a member of the board asking for this to be posted.. hi.

It's all about money.

must read news paper article about jw culture.. jehovahs: "you do not bring a brother to justice" a parallel community with deviating values and norms, which conceals abuse cases as quickly as possible and where women are subordinate to men.
that picture emerges from a report on the jehovah's witnesses published on thursday.
bas soetenhorst january 23, 2020, 5:16 pm a gathering of tens of thousands of jehovah's witnesses in the rai in 1979. image anp with the jehovah's witnesses, the biblical principle is that you should not bring your brother to justice.
