this image is from "the watchtower" july 2024 (study edition):i can't figure out what that object is that is between the sleeping apostles.wath is it?
a stick, a scroll of the scriptures?
....
If you know this:
Finished M. It is said that the human mind has a tendency to see patterns even when they're not really there.
Then why conclude this?:
F.M. it's got to be demonic forces changing the digital art somewhere along the way before it goes to print
I can't see any faces in the background and as per the story, like Nathan Natas I would assume it's a (poorly drawn) sword (doesn't look that much like a willy) but I think it does look far more like a scripture scroll🤷♀️

LV101 Good thing her father was a non-witness or they never would have had the sports opportunity/financial success.
Exactly!
She's clearly not the most logical thinker of all time.
this is a court case filed in august 2021 by the zalkin law firm.
deborah hines vs watchtower and the governing body.. what's interesting is;.
"ny already set a precedent that an unincorporated group can be sued for its action and has specifically said this case can move forward.
My god though, what that child endured. 😢
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Thisismein1972 So I just received this in my email. Has he been any help...No.
Oh no don't tell me he's getting references from people so he can apply for a visa for the US or somewhere as a 'cult expert' or 'therapist'🤦♀️If so, he really isn't someone who should be working with vulnerable people!
i think i may be moving on shortly.
i officially joined this web-site 12 years ago as pimo about to exit the organisation.
i had spent about a year before that, as just a none commenting member.
I've sent to a message Joe123cd
Why do I feel sad when people move on? I should feel happy for you, that things have worked out and you feel confident enough to move on up😀
(Boy I have abandonment issues alright!😂)
I really wish you the very best Joe, whatever you do ❤️

in the march 2025 jw broadcast david splane in his morning worship talk mentioned that "some thought" that armageddon would come 40 years after 1914. such statements are usually meant to shift the blame of their own false predictions on to their members for speculating.
however, i was unable to find anything in print showing that such a thing was indeed taught by the society.
was this really a thing?.
I've never heard of that date, Jerome. But maybe some of our more senior or long time members may have heard of it?The only thing related to Watchtower and 1954 that I could find was the Douglas Walsh trial in Scotland, where Fred Franz was found to be unable to translate a Bible verse into Hebrew.
However I don't trust David Splane and I wouldn't put it past him to either arrogantly get the date wrong, but refuse to correct it, or use a false date to throw people off.
i swear, you can't make this shit up!
for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.
" of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.
😂😂another daft GB name! Judy? "Can be a boys name"? Yeah if you think that...I knew a Boy named Sue, too!
NB Marion is an old Polish name and it's MariON not MariAN.
blood donor james harrison has died aged 88 in australia (17th feb) has saved the lives of over 2 million babies.
after receiving a huge blood transfusion during heart surgery aged 14, he vowed to become a donor at 18. he held the record for the most blood plasma donated until recently, donating every two weeks from the age of 18. his blood produced anti d used to produce jabs that protect unborn babies from hemolytic disease of the foetus & newborn (hdfn).
this occurs in pregnancy when a mothers red blood cells are incompatible with her babys.
I certainly remember being told that as a child Not former! I'm not sure if it's anywhere in writing ..I imagine there is! I'll have to see if I can dig it out somewhere. There was so many crazy stories told about blood transfusions.
Now I understand JW medical staff have been told not to administer it, let alone prescribe it. They have Bethel doctors & nurses. If they continue with that ruling they won't have any in a few years because such a ruling will prohibit any one training as medics in future🤷♀️

His blood produced anti D used to produce jabs that protect unborn babies from hemolytic disease of the foetus & newborn (HDFN). This occurs in pregnancy when a mothers red blood cells are incompatible with her babys. Her immune system sees her babys blood cells as a threat and attacks them, which can be lethal causing severe anemia & heart failure in her baby.
James even saved two of his own grandchildren with his blood plasma. Nothing any witness could do could ever compare with the joy and happiness this man has given to millions of desperate parents.
