i had a conversation about this 22 carat gold contradiction with a couple of zealous jw's a couple of days ago.. even their personal "explanations" contradicted each other as they tried justify their cognitive dissonance!.
an absolute delight to witness such absurdity.. "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.
the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things [john 5:29] before their death.
Willful blindness. Or, sunk cost fallacy. Likely both.
.....for a religion which boasts their ''God'' will 'ruin those ruining the Earth'. They cause a lot of environmental impacts.
Like cutting - down trees & pollution and stuff.
a sister said the other day at the ministry group “”what is all this talk that the end is still some way off” she said she has been waiting for decades and she was told there is no way it would take this long.
some others said in an annoyed kind of way yes they would have made different decisions decades ago if they knew the end still would not have come by 2023.. how will the majority react in a few more decades time when the end still hasn’t come?.
why all that talk of sense of urgency decades ago?.
Like I always say, the Borg is it's own worst enemy.

Not in JW reality.
you just see them fiddling with their mobile devices. and talking about people.
people who work with children in england will be legally required to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans.. .
the move - which is subject to a consultation - was recommended last year by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa).. .
the home secretary told the bbc she wanted to correct one of the "biggest national scandals".. .
Personal feelings take a back seat
i have not attended any kingdom hall meetings in 10 years.
the elders gave up on me a while ago.. the last 3 years i get phone calls to listen in to zoom meetings.
listened in several times... nothing has changed!
"spiritual policemen" LOL
we have all watched some of the documentaries about the church of scientology hiring detectives to stalk and harass their former members,( their "apostates").
i have heard of individual cases of rabid jw elders stalking ex-jws, and of course, one would expect some enforcement of corporate copyright infringement on anti-jw websites.. what were the most outrageous jw "stalking" or investigation stories you remember?.
tonight's 60 minutes into ebay stalking a middle-aged couple who writes a newsletter reminded me a lot of the menlo park congregation watchtower "takeover", closure, and stalking of local elders to mind.
The Sheeples who donate, are truly misinformed and clueless as to where their donations are going toward.
ie,, like secret books like ''Sheppard the Flock of God'' and going after youtubers.
It's like a 'sad' but yet 'liberating' feeling all at once,,,,when you really know where ''donations'' are going.
i think we produced this by group think and bears reiterating.. if you don’t want to be thrown under the bus in jw land, you best not.
1. verbalize disagreement with any official teaching of the society.. 2. celebrate your child’s birthdays.
3. celebrate christ’s birthday on december 25th or any other date.. 4. socialize with others who have already been thrown under the bus.. 5. take up smoking.
""Bottom line, do not speak against the elders because they are appointed by holy spirit ...""
If I could hit that 'like' button I would 100 times.
