I feel sorry for them. What a terrible misfortune that their daughter stumbled across this English narcissist, a wolf in sheep’s clothing at the Kingdom Hall.
Nah, not having that......Lloyd? Evans?...dudes clearly Welsh!

Watchtower has a way of ruining marriages.
They'd been out of the religion for over a decade and they were even living with her JW parents, proving Watchtower doesn't have to sour family relationships if people are willing to place love above power and status. -

Marcial--News and Update on Atlantis!
by Atlantis innews on the person you call (atlantis!).
(before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.
he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.

Dear Petra, Would you at all consider recounting the story of yourself and Atlantis, please? Perhaps an interview with Barbara Anderson, who does interviews every other Saturday on Rick Fearon's "Six Screen" You Tube channel? You can do so anonymously, I think, with just a voice over. I'm absolutely sure she would do both Atlantis and your own story justice! Very many of us would be enormously interested to hear all about Atlantis, the humble and generous-hearted JW "apostate grandfather" to us all.....but most especially to you, of course!
Much love and thank you for your heart warming post. There could be no better tribute to Atlantis xxx

by Mikejw ini’m an elder who is pima, i’m amazed how much info is available to all elders.
you can see all private details of every member of the congregation.
i wonder how these sisters feel about their private details being available to these creepy elders?.

DW If she is a doubting JW, then she will never give out any such details to the elders in the first place itself. Simple.
Well, not quite. Presumably she would have been a believing JW at some point and often that is the issue. There's often no way to get this information removed once a JW does wake up, no?

U.S. 2024 Report on Religious Freedom: Challenges for Jehovah’s Witnesses in Japan
by raymond frantz inthehttps://youtu.be/ycplox56-rk?si=l51-gppfzccoguhd u.s. department of state’s 2024 report on religious freedom sheds light on various challenges faced by minority religious groups around the world.
while the report covers many nations, one of the key regions of focus is japan, where jehovah’s witnesses are encountering growing hostility amidst a shifting legal and social landscape.
this article explores the issues jehovah’s witnesses face in japan and the broader implications for religious freedom in the country.. ### the u.s. report: focus on cults and minority groups.

National Network of Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales,
Dont know who came up with that name but its spot on!
rather than relying on sensationalized accounts from disaffected former members.
Again with the "disaffected former members". Who else but former members are going to understand how the group works. Its also interesting how all "former members" appear to be disaffected to some degree, cant think why!
The U.S. report highlights the social difficulties Jehovah’s Witnesses face in Japan, where they are often ostracized and excluded from public life. Members of the community have reported being shunned at public events, denied participation in community activities,
HA!! Who wrote this report?! Massimo Introvigne??? Sounds like the kind of utter bollox he'd come up with! Either way they are laughably uninformed about jehovah's witness beliefs and cultural practices (or lack of them!)
Very interesting, thank you Chris!

This will be the next watchtower scandal - after CSA, blood and shunning (particularly of minors) that governments will or should be investigating at some point. The big con, or 'vow of poverty' the "free workers" sign, in order that watchtower doesn't have to contribute to social security!!

Half hearted JWs compared to past generations
by JohnR1975 inis it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.
when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .

Gorbachov I asked him, how succesfull the cart work is, because nobody is interested and walk by.
He told me with big eyeballs and an irritated voice: "It's a great succes, because Jehovah sees what we do".
Its all "me, me, me" isn't it? All about the Browney points they can win for themselves, not about doing their best to reach the hearts of their brother!

JW Gone Bad Tony Morris was definitely dismissed for being "not open to any agreement"...with the alcohol issue being a side problem as part of the evidence against him.
I think that defintely makes sense though, even though it almost certainly will never be proven one way or another....
DOC Ever since the photoshopped pics of GB with beards was posted (without a disclaimer that it was PS), I've become more skeptical of some things if read here first.
Hey DOC some of them legitimately do have beards now! I know from JW Broadcast Marc Saunderson has, for instance.
JW Gone Bad "...naw, I really am not a true Jehovah’s Witness believer, though I do enjoy being in front of the camera...in fact I believe WT is as guilty as hell in their mishandling of CSA cases!"
Now I can defintely see him admitting to Watchtower policy bearing responsibility for CSA within the organisation, either on or off mike, to journalists (especially attractive ones!). But saying he "does enjoy being in front of the camera" and is not a believing Jehovah's Witness, sounds more like Watchtower/JW embelleshment and (sad attempt at) character assasination!
Free theMasons is that the most recent video? In other words "rumours of his (JW) demise were greatly exaggerated"?!

Rumour 144,000 literal number teaching to be abandoned at Annual Meeting
by slimboyfat insay it ain’t so!
.
in one sense it’s a no brainer because the figures just don’t add up any more.. in another (negative) sense it’s a no brainer because it’s been fundamental to jws since year dot and might undermine the whole thing?

It will save the yearly embarrassment of counting the ever increasing number of partakers!
{Sigh,,,} If the rumour is true we may as well change the name on this forum because it trully is a whole other religion at this point!
