Blondie, thanks.
I'm now on the 2nd time reading CoC, but now through kindle on my android phone. I can read it wherever, and wherever I want. I have a hard copy and a kindle version.
I really hope In Search of Christian Freedom is re-relelased again here soon.
I have read your accounts on previous threads how you were in touch with R. Franz how you tracked him down and actually hung-out with him and visited with him.
Amazing.
deborah will be interviewed on the "watchtower insider: barbara anderson tells all" program at 9 pm edt.
saturday, june 24, 2023deborah suffered extreme child sex abuse as a young girl in the watchtower.
this abuse took place at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses in brooklyn, ny.
Alll these testimonials are just mind-blowing.
As if the rank and file or $heeple are 'oblivious' to this. Or they're just plain stupid, dumb or something.
This is the danger of cult-programming. Keeps people in the dark.. It's almost dangerous.

Thanks. Sounds interesting
self-aware npc has an upload that the ""top-secret"' elders only secret boxes is a drum roll here......a new brochure.....ta dahhhh🤪.
i mean how more dramatic can we get..
Should the Borg come up with a directive, or some stupid direction, here is the thing.
It can only happen one time. That's it, there's no going back. If the Borg demands iits adherents( victims) to do something like go someplace and give everything up, they can't go back. Thats's it. That's the conundrum the Borg will put itself into.
I'm sure this is what a sticking point the Borg has come against. Very tough spot,
today, i received a call from my oncologist nurse.
she informed me that i will need to sign a consent form for a blood transfusion.
the doctor will see me next wednesday to go through the consent form with me.
it's just part of the JW programming which is ingrained in me. Hard to deprogram.
Its like we grew up in JW lala land not having a choice.

the short answer is, god communicates with jehovah’s witnesses very poorly indeed.. jehovah’s witnesses are the first to affirm that god doesn’t directly communicate with them at all.. however, this fact doesn’t stop them from making the baseless assertion that god communicates to them through reading the bible, through holy spirit and through their leaders (known as the governing body, or the faithful and discreet slave).. here is a claim made by one of the first leaders of the watchtower organisation:-.
communication through reading the bible.
HaHa.

Thanks.
I did not know that.
so the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?

This is a video from David and Vivian Aspinal from another thread:

Its just very difficult for me to go out and give blood.
Its just part of what's left over from cult programming.
If I was in the hospital,,,and my life depended on it,,,,,I would have no problem taking blood.
You see,,this is how this cult effs you up.

The re-release of Crisis of Conscience in March 2018,,,I got my copy in mid March 2018 devoured it by end of that month.
That was my 1st ever reading of it
Then I had to,,,just had to trek down In Search of Christian Freedom by Ray Franz at a reasonable price.
I put 2 & 2 together,,everything fell in place and I realized I wasn't alone.
Ray Franz,,I feel like I'm always in his debt.
