Thanks for all and take care.

body of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.
Thanks for all and take care.

did you notice this?
2020 governing body update #5. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/docid-702020307_1_video.
why do they show the black goat in the picture?
I think such a symbol can influence people in indirect thinking. Maybe the message of a "beast" stays in mind.

when i drive by the kingdom hall i grew up attending at but, was sold directly to a church, i get angry.
the elders who handled the sale didn't even remove the watchtower shaped bricks on each side of the sign near the street so, now they advertise for a baptist church.
how many times as i grew up i heard things like: you should not do work ( such as clean carpets for a church) you wouldn't want to work at a cigarette making plant or a facility that makes bombs for the military.
The ibsa property link shows the professional property investor, jw.org has become.

elections have been held per the us constitution during many difficult times; us civil war, ww i, ww ii, whatever.
i just put on the pro-trump fox news and even they are saying ... oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. this is really scary.
are we headed towards a dictatorship?
This is a known Soviet style manouvre.
T. has his Moscow advisors.

i've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.

the watchtower—study edition | june 2020. .
study article 26.
6 who can share in the search for inactive ones?
The super elder did not share how he did it, keeps it for him self 😆
G.
i was six, not given any choice.
i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.
i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.
@rubadub, that's great humor!
My first generation great great father will turn in his grave when he would see todays jw.org and it's doctrine.

i have no love loss for the gb or religion and this is not an apologist attempt.
in fact i hate the religion and the gb.
but i watch night after night young kids who's minds have been corrupted by the propaganda and dogma that modern college's are teaching them.
Become plummer!

sorry for the posting error below.. my wife is reading crisis of conscience now.
this is good news because i know i will have someone to talk to when im caught and dfd.
but in her reading she is recognizing most of the names ( we were there at bethel during the 70s as a married couple) and asked what happened to reinhard lengtat?
Great writer, anyway.
