  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.

  SilentBuddha I would appear to be some kind of stalker, and I’m definitely not. It’s just that I happen to go by his neighborhood on the way to a tractor supply that’s near him

  Very understandable you wouldn't want to cause him any distress. But the truth is I bet a lot of people who know him are concerned about his mental health. I mean the folks in his congregation know Toni has always been a true believer, if nothing else. So either he'll be absolutely devastated because he believes the religion he is devoted to has completely lost God's holy spirit. Or he will believe that he is absolutely deplorable in the sight of God - if not utterly wicked - to have to be removed from the GB. Either way he must be in a very vulnerable state. I could totally understand if someone who knew him would check up on him (not saying you of course).

  The concept of a statute of limitations for serious crimes such as sexual or violent offences, amazes me.

  I couldn't agree more Journeyman.

  (It's clearly because Robert Hendrix has dropped the ball this week. Hasn't he run off with some journalist? If he hasn't he should)

  o

  What do you expect, it's the BEEB.

  More concerned with inclusion, pronouns and other left wing twaddle.

  In recent years I've been absolutely gob smacked at the standard of work (grammar etc)produced by editorial writers, not just the BBC but at almost all the established agencies we are used to getting our news from in the UK. Especially the Broadsheets. At first I assumed they were Eastern 'content farms' or whatever. Or A.I. generated....but no! These shameless imposters who generally begin their bio's by "AS A ...(insert identity here: "Trans, left handed wombat of colour" or whatever) actually put their NAME to their "work". Then proceed to hector us on the definite understanding we have ZERO right of reply 🙄

  How do you find reddit

  by joe134cd in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.

  for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.

  i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.

  In the early days I enjoyed exJW Reddit - less than 2,000 when i joined.

  Now like the rest of Reddit it's run by PC robots. I was recently banned from one Exjw sub (not the main one).

  A 16 year old girl made a post asking to DM other girls about their experience of growing up JW when questioning whether you may be attracted to the same sex. First response this middle aged (I know because he posts loads of pics) trans woman (biological male), STILL MARRIED to the same biological woman he married as a JW ministerial servant. (So straight, in other words, but claiming to be a lesbian) and here's the kicker POLYAMOROUS too. So for those out of the loop, that's someone who has sex with more than one person on the go.

  So....At best a straight biological male was claiming he understood what it was like to be a JW teen girl, growing up thinking you may be same sex attracted, with all that entails - which wasn't true.
  

  At worse a middle aged, married male who desires multiple partners was trying to get into private conversations with a minor on sexual subjects - not appropriate at all and I told him her question had nothing to do with him.

  But he was A- ok by the mods, apparently. Who banned me from the sub, reported me to Reddit and got me a "hate speech" strike.

  Well wasn't someone there when that lass Salena Vertolomo went around to his new place to confront him? Was it the house, or did she visit their local kingdom Hall when she was filmed talking to that chap outside? Either way, isn't it possible they had him moved rather than risk random - especially angry - apostates going to see him?

  Yesterday's Public Talk: '' Reject Worldly Fantasies, Pursue Kingdom Realities''

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my brother ( an elder ) calls me every time he's assigned a public talk.

  he believes listening to zoom meetings is a great start, to eventually attending in-person meetings.

  the talk is titled : '' reject worldly fantasies, pursue kingdom realities.

  Halcon OMG, They are still recycling that garbage talk? I've been out of the org for about 25 years and I remember this talk given that long ago.

  LRG

  😂Ditto. I'm sure I remember that talk.

  Kingdom realities?? Like the generation who saw 1914 with understanding would be alive at Armageddon? Or selling your house in 1975 to use the last few months before the The End™ to preach?Those realities, they mean?!
