in the past, we used to hear talks on:.
avoiding sexual immorality and porn, as well as masturbation and other sexual practices.
why evolution cannot possibly be true.
The Borg lost its appeal to the New York supreme court.
Guess what?
Without any doubt the Borg will appeal to the U.S. Supreme court now. Usually,,, the higher court upholds the lower court ruling. The Borg will have to do some fancy lobbying to the U.S. supreme court to convince them.
The way the Borg is losing these court battles,,, you'd have to wonder if the rank and file think "" Is God truly behind this organization?".

Yes the Borg is lowering its standards..
To appear less harsh,, nicer,,, gentler....
Just to appear nicer to appease some governments

evolutionists can change their model, and invent stories whenever they want to accomodate data.
biblical literalists are stuck with just one model, one account, and are unable to change it.
Over on the Reddit forum..
There is a subheading about if asked if they were asked to kill nonJWs.
I forget the exact wording of the subheading.
But if JWs were asked to do something if asked by the GB,, including killing people,,,,without hesitation the $heeples would do it.
That's how dangerous mind control is.

What you're saying about someone NOT wanting to be proven wrong is dead on.
They'll spit on your face. On your grave,, on your spouses' grave.
This is no exception in JW. They would rather watch you choke to death. Than rather point out the screw-ups in their theology. And be happy watching you choke and not help you.
This is what mind control is.
And they'll tell you "" f@#! You " after you die choking on your own saliva,, blood whatever.
Because if this is what the GB told JWs to do,,,they would do it !!
i would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.
surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.
my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.
. . TTW,,,That was a good one !!!

Id actually retract that and say maybe even 1/4 of their figure.

Oh..
Heres one:
"We treat people how they would want to be treated".
Uh,, ok...
But when they dont talk about the shunning policy.

Id venture to say to cut that number of true believers by 1/2 maybe even 1/3 of that.
for those still in the organization what is your meeting attendance like these days?.
when i left in 2017 there were around 80 publishers and the average meeting attendance was 70..
Whenever you hear of a hint to their tax exemptions,,, they 'wiggle' a bit .
Not because they want to appear nicer & kinder.
No. There's an ulterior motive. Their tax free status & subsidies
