  DerekMoors Sorry but I have no sympathy for these trolls who might suddenly be realizing that they've been taken for a ride by this fat ass. He and Redwood and Richard Kelly and the rest knew Lloyd was a bully to everyone in the community, knew he stole CoC, that he shit all over the protests (even those that led to the special on that Canadian channel)... the list goes on. They either joined in (like Haeck squashing that story) or turned a blind eye.

  Complicit.The lot of them. It was so infuriating to watch them become so controlling and petty in their jealousy of their new found (conveniently lucrative) feifdom. Their complete refusal to participate in any joint endevour or celebrate the success of others - however minor - stood out like a sore thumb.

  JW prepper fiction

  by Teddnzo in

  there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.

  one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.

  i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.

  thats the one! Its a classic and already rarther prophetic !

  "at the morning meeting, Brother Thorn publicly reprimanded Rob and I for watching television. The elders have decided that, henceforth, watching videos is prohibited since we do not want our new paradise to be contaminated by the old world. Thorn speculated that one day we might have “theocratic television” from the Society. The Watchtower Channel? Spare me."

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Befriend him, take him to the pub one Friday night, get him good and soaked, discreetly hit “rec”, and just let him talk.

  Sadly I think once burnt twice shy (is that the phrase?). That "bottle gate" stuff probably made him even more distrustful of the outside world. The way Cedars went after him over that incident was out of order, in my opinion. So he likes a decent scotch...so what? (Cheap whiskey is 😫) Might have been for a party...50th wedding anniversary? Super hypocritical of Cedars of all people to condemn him for that.

  Personally I think we'd get more headway down the old Lumberton Dog and Duck with a bottle of Jameson..... for Mrs. Morrison 😉

  The letters she released could also be entered into evidence and she could be deposed on the contents of those and why she sent it to other parties

  Which would 100% confirm to even his most deluded patron he authored them....to me they make him look worse than even his livestream, I can't get over how abusive they are😞

  still hasn't addressed Norway, AT ALL!! What a simp!

  Not to mention several other stories....the Association of Spanish Victims of Jehovah's Witnesses and the Belgium shunning verdict. I mean there's so many he's missed by now it's ridiculous.

  As to some of his predictions (just fluff...what the hell are they paying him for?) If it isn't clear by now that he's incapable of producing in depth journalism/reporting on serious issues without taking advantage of volunteer "helpers", I don't know what to say.

  Pants a definite possibility & I can see birthday's becoming a conscience matter - since they really don't have any scriptural reasons forbidding it. I doubt tatoos since the old testament does forbid them (principals and all🙄).

  He's clearly been getting his ideas from Mike & Kim about moving to online meetings and stealing other ideas from You tubers, Reddit and this site!

  LeeMerk Why call this goatiegate? Was there a crime?

  Complain when we couldn't have facial hair, complain and make fun when it is allowed. This group is not reformable apparently.

  🤣🤣Lee it's 'goatie-gate' because a lot of people thought it was fake, is all

  The Meaning of ETC

  by titch in

  1. forum
  2. suggestions

  folks: i don't mean to be a "forum grammar policeman", but there is something that i've noticed a few times.

  i've noticed that a few---not all---but some, members of the forum who use the abbreviation "ect" when they want to use the abbreviation of "etc.

  " for your education today, the term "etc" is the abbreviation for the latin term "et cetera.

  A Modest proposal to solve the 1914 problem

  by r51785 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  throughout watchtower history dates have been a problem.

  the usual solution for failed prophetic dates has been to kick the can down the road.

  this needs to be done with 1914. the generation that will never pass away is now 110 years old and therefore is past its useful life span.

  You are in a year when nothing happened of any significance, 1934.

  🤔Oh I dunno....some old fart called Hitler becoming chancellor of Germany ?

  Smoking

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is it likely to be removed from the list of disfellowshippable offences?

  given that the ban on smoking 🚬 is completely unbiblical*, might they ever remove it?.

  *even mainstream christianity can only come up with one verse "against" it, the one that says that the body is the temple of the holy spirit.

  Dreary weather Why will it boost the numbers?

  Clearly because previously if you had no service time for 6 months plus you would no longer be considered an active publisher🙄With zero time requirements they'll more or less be counting all baptised publishers unless they've been df or DA (or literally refuse to tick the box)
