It's just the internet catching-up with the Borg.

Sunday January 15 is my 76th birthday. I answer some of your questions.
by Terry inhappy birthday 2 me!!.
sunday is my 76th birthday and i know that you want to know how it "feels" to have outlived my usefulness, to have lost my natural beauty (being reduced to wrinkles and flab), and constantly walking into a room not knowing why i'm there.
you also are curious as to how i can continue to find a reason to live since none of my kids think my opinions have any possible value, most of my facebooks friends i wouldn't recognize if i tripped over them on my way into starbucks, and my monthly expenditure on bird treats exceeds u.s. spending on the military.

Global population growth blows the JW's reasoning right out of the water.

Are JWs breaking the law?
by Indoubtbigtime ineverytime a publisher moves congregations they have a confidential letter of introduction sent from one body of elders to the other .
this letter contains some very very sensitive information like if they had sexual problems or mental health problems or if they self harmed etc.
most people don’t know but they can request or insist on seeing this information through a freedom of information request .

A lot of publishers don't know this but there can be some pretty 'juicy' details about them in those so-called letters of introduction when they move congregations. The never know.

The Borg must really be massaging their numbers. Have to be.

It’s started COBE asking all appointed men if they are fully vaccinated
by Indoubtbigtime inthere is a huge problem now in all congregations as the gb stubbornly will not do the u turn on staying fully vaccinated that many hoped they would do.. all congregations around the world the cobe has to ask all ministerial servants and elders if they are fully vaccinated (meaning no more than six months since last shot).
there is a massive problem now with many many jdubs not getting their latest boosters and not wanting to stay fully vaccinated .
but more serious than that is how the gb painted themselves into a corner with these vaccine mandates.. most governments did a u turn on the vax mandates but the gb can’t get out of this one so easily .

it's always about 'legal" and anything to avoid 'litigation' entanglements.

What can they expect, is that a 'sucker' is born every minute. It's the born-ins that usually pay.

What would Jesus be doing?
by eyeslice inwould he be working on the massive audio/visual complex being built at ramapo?.
i overheard my wife listening to some update broadcast this morning and immediately thought would a true humanitarian such as jesus, mahatma gandhi or albert schweitzer be at all interested in such things?
these were 'people' persons not interesting in the stupid trappings of life.. if the gb were to sanction the building of hospitals, orphanages, refugee centers and the like, maybe we would have a little more respect for them but this ramapo project seems like a sense waste of time, energy and money.

Jesus would be praising the Governing Body. According to the GB.

How did you find Jehovah's Witness meetings?
by Vanderhoven7 ini personally have only attended a handful of meetings at kingdom halls.
i did not enjoy any of them nor was i impressed by anything that was conveyed.
perhaps others did not find them boring as i did.. nadia viotto has this to say about her experience.

I can't say anything more about Ray Franz' Crisis of Conscience. It was a 'clincher',,eye-opener.
But to cap it off, it was Ray Franz' In Search of Christian Freedom. Now that was the icing on the cake. It's like cake, you have to have the icing on the cake to top it off. Many comment on Crisis of Conscience how influencial that was, but to me it was In Search of Christian Freedom that really cleared things up for me. Luckily, I was able to track a copy of ISOCF on Amazon for a reasonable price before the pandemic in 2019.
Mr. Penton's books ''Apocalypse Delayed' and ''The Third Reich'',,, also extremely eye-opening and instrumental books,,, masterpieces.
The JW's literature you then realize is ''extremely slanted' in portraying the JW's only as being ''so called loyal'' in their propaganda. Mr Penton relates how many JW's unfortunatly succummed to Nazi pressure,,and gave into pressure.. He relates how other Christian groups besides JW's faced unrelenting persecution and how JWs are no way unique in their claims that they are the 'only' group in facing persecution.
