i overheard my wife listening to '2023 governing body update #2, presented by kenneth cook jnr.
a few points i got from it.. new hour requirements.
quote "with the new hour requirements for pioneers, many us us can share in the pioneer work.
''Bringing it back to GB members, they of course encourage this thinking with all the fuss about how wonderfully spiritual it is to be a pioneer, and all the fawning over "fulltime service" in meeting parts and talks. They spend far more time emphasising that than, say, working on spiritual qualities (eg: the fruitage of the spirit) and being a better individual, married couple, family, etc,''
Don't worry. It's often been said that the Borg is it's own worst enemy.
mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.
at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.
single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.
EdenOne:
''Not a single word of praise or gratitude to the police and authorities for their prompt intervention that probably saved many more lives .,,""
Of course not, What did you expect..

''I hope they don’t use this as a publicity stint.''
Don't give them any ideas for an assembly, convention or something.
not a hint of a new date for the great tribulation.
the attitude of jw is that they expect it immediately although the inter-lapping anointed allows for any additional extended time.
given the time of the end, the end comes after the good news is preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations with the internet and 108 years and tons of publications even in finnish.
With all the debunked dates the Borg has come up with over the years,,they would be foolhardy to pronounce any 'dates' specified at this time.

As of Feb 22, 2023 Anthony Morris is no longer on the governing body. Unspecified reasons,,just pure speculation why. It's undisclosed.

""Utterly dreadful for all those involved, and for the children who witnessed something no parent would ever want them to see. Kind thoughts to all those who were there and their families.""
Nice comment, well said.
HiddlesWife: In the early 1990s I believe the Borg got "spooked"" as a religious organization existing as a tax-free entity that would charge a "monetary" fee for anything ...including food or literature. David A Reed has a book outlining that. Secondly......yeah...they rolled-out the donation $ystem in the early 1990s.....might have realized the sheeple were too comfortable.....scrapped the food arrangement & making it more cumbersome and difficult for the sheeple and families
now covid restrictions are over, they're pushing on with watchtower museums at many locations through out the world.. looks to me as if they'll be pretty boring.
a few old bibles and photos of the witnessing work from way back when.. one things for sure is they won't include anything relating to constantly changing doctrines or have libraries full of old publications that have since been swept under the carpet..
""WatchTower "jumped the shark" a long time ago. Total cult and con.""
Jumped the shark in around mid 1990's generation change and 1914 people passing away.
The long - timers just can't get their heads around it and accept it.

""I'd be surprised if any of them actually believe in god. '''
When you can travel across the world,,be treated as rock stars,,,live like kings in upstate NY,,wear jewelry,,,you would believe anything just to keep up the facade.
the mrs (third gen) and i have been on this site for a number of years now.
we appreciate simon's efforts to keep this site active and available.
i find a number of pimo jw friends enjoy youtube for some reason.
Yeah, of course Lloyd Evans or Cedars,,,on a personnal note:
I became PIMO back in the winter of 2006-07,,,,and I was PIMO until Cedars earliest videos around 2013-14..
For those years before 2013 I had to 'swallow' my doubts and hoped I wasn't going crazy. I joined this site in late 2009. I came across Fearon"s videos first,,,then Cedars, I realized that I wasn't alone,,,or NUTS. Cedars was actually my ''confirmation'',, that it wasn't just me.
So yeah,, although most dont' see eye-to-eye with Lloyd,,,,I still do have a level of ''rapport'' with his vids.
KUDOs to of course,,,,Mike and Kimmy, bridgetAZ, and Marcus Vaughn.
