There are a few openly trans people in congregations and they can easily live by Bible principles I know one who was in Bethel

A religion that condemns the opposite sex even wearing the clothes of the other sex allows trans people in Bethel?😂

Sorry, I'm not buying it.

I'm aware there are plenty of gay people in Bethel, perhaps you mean that? Definitely not trans, though. No way. They've even said in the publications someone would have to "revert" to their birth sex to be baptised, let alone work in Bethel (not that you can ever change sex, they should say gender).

Lloyd got in trouble a while back for calling them "THE transgenders"😂😭He's just jumping on a bandwagon (as usual) he knows absolutely nothing about.

What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?

by Sea Breeze in

we all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.

my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

Diogenesister

Whether you wake up immediately at death or wait till the resurrection, you will have the exact same reaction. Either way, the next conscious moment after death, you will face the inevitable.

....yes......Jehovah.....I have questions. Where do you want to start? There's David's baby, Uzzah, the gentile picking up sticks...but all that can wait.

My first question will be..

Jehovah, was the savage - cruel beyond all reckoning - system of predator prey arms race, really the only possible way that life could proliferate on earth?

The immense suffering that has taken place over millions of years, just so that I can have a big enough brain to order take out pad Thai & enjoy netflix documentaries really isn't worth it. Let alone generations of my ancestors dying of horrendous viruses, just so I could be immune enough to mingle in a warm swimming pool that's choc full of bacteria whilst drinking Bacardi and coke.... without Keeling over!

What's the old joke?

St. Peter opens the doors of the pearly gates and let's in a couple after a car crash...

"Come in, come in welcome..."

He takes them past some rooms with "Catholic" "Anglican" "Mormon" They move on past lots of rooms with the names of various religions.

Then he puts a finger to his lips "shhhhh" as they pass a sign with "Jehovah's witnesses". The couple look confused.....

St. Peter laughs "They think they're the only ones up here!!"

Because even though I care for you, my guitar

I think that's "and even though I gave you my guitar" (hence jokes because he probably gave that guy his guitar to play because it's tuned for his singing key)

LE: I still look back with fondness at at successfully sorting out my screws, Allen keys,spanners etc. Good times!

Cobblers! I bet that was the only time his ~~that~~ tool saw any action!

This what I think of him sorting out his screws and Allen keys...for what exactly? He couldn't even decorate his own daughters bedroom! When was the last time that wet sponge did anything useful.....

......around the house😈

Jehovah’s Witnesses President Robert Ciranko dies of coronavirus

by Balaamsass2 in

fyi.

this showed up on my google feed.

i couldn't find an earlier story in the search box.

So he did pass away from COVID, then? An early victim? It's all that jet setting in first class. International travel was pretty dangerous when the virus first escaped from the lab. It's now evolved to be no more dangerous then any other flu like virus.

At one point it was said that I earn a six figure salary, which is just completely untrue.

More weasel words. Semantic games.

Ipsilon Media makes six figures. Ipsilon Media is him. Ok he has to pay Tibor out of that, but again - & I'm sorry for Tibor and all that - it's not essential for his channel to have a video editor. He's just a dude talking in front of a camera with occasional JW.org video interspersed. Claiming "he received" the message (from whom, Dijana? Or was this the left side of his brain telling the right?) his wages would not be paid is laughable.

Vin As soon as his eldest daughter can read and do math, I guess she will be hired by the family business.

You can guarantee that Vin, because it means his personal income is less so he's taxed less. And because what he "pays" Dijana will be so small, she won't be taxed at all, in all probability. Splitting income from a business is an old ruse for the family to pay less as a whole. I wouldn't mind, everyone takes advantage of tax laws. But as someone said it's just his way of avoiding child support.The admin/arranging interviews BS to grift from those who give to a cause, just stinks. The patreon began specifically to reimburse his time spent on watchtower projects and was never an open paycheck.

He's so effing LAZY! He does one interview every couple of months, if that!! He gets all his info free from the internet and "his" research has already been done for him! Yes it's great to have a video of editor, but many exjw videos look just as well produced without one.

As to grifting the vulnerable he's learned from the best, that's for sure.

When I think of all the superchats I chucked every Watchtower in focus live! Because Irwin Zalkin was there telling victims he would help, and Kim was breaking everything down legally, and Mark was going over cases he went thousands of miles to observe and report on for us......all the time Lloyd's ugly mug in the top left hand corner - grinning like a cheshire cat as all that cash went STRAIGHT into his porn hub account. Nothing to victims, nothing for Kim at least to pay her internet fees, nothing to reimburse Mark's (I'm sure) hefty travel expenses. Grrrrrr. It doesn't matter if these colleagues "refuse" you damn well insist!!! It's not payment it's just reimbursing some of their costs! The greedy git was happy Mark refused!

Kim If he is comfortable at 620 patreons, what were they at 900??

Well, if you can take a two month long holiday in the tropics weeks after a month long break in the USA and two other family holidays on the Dalmatian coast in a year I wouldn't say you're exactly struggling. Especially when you live mortgage and rent free. He was complaining online about his shares and savings taking a nose-dive after Brexit and the recession, too. Which makes me think he's squirreling a lot away.

I also don't understand how he's stupid enough to deny his earnings, when it's there on the govt website for anyone to see. Is he a compulsive liar? Does he just enjoy it, or what? He seems to do a hell of a lot of it.
