  study watchtower november 2023 p. 16,17 pars.

  9,10 - "consider the example of oleg and irina, a married couple who serve as pioneers.

  after moving to assist a congregation in another area, they lost their source of income because of the worsening economic conditions in their country......one day when they returned home from the ministry, they learned that a close friend had traveled about 160 kilometers (100 mi) to bring them two bags of groceries.

  if a pimi sister has been told by her unbelieving husband not to take these experimental vaccines then what is official jw policy in this situation?.

  should she go against her husband and tell him i will do what the men at my church tell me?.

  what on earth will the husband think then?

  the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.

  i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

  Top AI inventor Geoffrey Hinton reluctantly concluded that AI will probably humanity fairly soon

  geoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .

  “if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.

  there’s no way to make that happen.

  Slim Professor Roman Yampolskiy is the best explainer I’ve found on the topic so far. Surprisingly the death of all humans might not actually be the worst conceivable outcome from strong AI. Check out his comments around the 10 minute mark. 😮

  Oh lor.....the JW eternal paradise!!🤪😂😂

  Brilliant version!!!! Quite prescient,no???

  I beleive AI is a huge threat to humanity. I think AI will prioritise life on earth over humanity. As would any intelligent being.

  Do we blame the Governing Body too much?

  i'd like to start this post with a part from the movie 'v for vendetta'.

  here in a dystopian state, the main character named v, explains why things have gone so bad ....

  An excellent question. Id say yes. We do blame them too much. Its convenient, isn't it? How many of us cheerfully accepted the idea that billions of innocent people (either through youth or not having ever been informed of watchtower) were going to be unfairly murdered so that we could have our "happy ever after"? Not all of us were comfortable with it - which is why many of us are here - but millions clearly are and thats a pretty awful thought, isnt it?

  N.B. ExpimaBethelite thats one of the best posts ive read of yours, by the way ;)

  More than 17 years of service to the XJW community!

  i want to take a moment to salute rick fearon, an "apostate" near boston massachusetts usa who more than 17 years ago started the sixscreens telenetwork on youtube.

  you can find it here: https://www (dot) youtube (dot) com/ (at) araretreat/streams.. like our benevolent host simon green here at jehovahs-witness.com, rick has not done his great work for his own financial enrichment or to collect followers for himself, as some xjw grifters have done and continue to do.. saturdays and sundays are the busy days at six screens, with call-in programs like:.

  Efrain Rivera is a wonderful man. Thoroughly enjoyed this interview.with Barb.

  As someone mentioned Rick doesn't fleece new leavers of their cash. He's considerate to new leavers. I've actually had little run-ins with Rick (you can probably guess on what topic), but he's a good hearted man and no one can doubt his commitment to helping cult victims.

  Edit: I also heard your interview Nathan, I was very touched by it.
