if you are a jw read carefully before you sign.. .
I think I see what's going on here, but I need to do a little research. We're having an inside our bubble Thanksgiving so it will likely be tomorrow before I can get to it. I'm also trying to finish a rough draft of a (JW related) novel I've been working on for a long time.
Reminder: I was an accountant (working in real estate) for a long time.
Petra, you have a PM
watchtower examination has a youtube video about subliminal images drawn by the watchtower's art department.
i'm not a professional artist but i see too many strange and hidden images in this drawing.
i have boxed four examples of hidden images.
I don't see anything in A and B. C is obviously a shadow of the guys hand. D is a poorly executed drawing of the householder's robe.
There are a lot of things (cash grabs, sheltering pedophiles etc) actually wrong with the watchtower. I fail to see the point of some people's obsession with bad art and Freemasons. What I really see in these things is somebody who needs to get life.
in a recent feel-good instagram post about the 2019 international convention, a jw remarked, "was it the last convention we will have?".
there is no doubt jw's feel they are truly special and that world events revolve around them directly.
there is also no doubt that whether we get a vaccine for covid or not, and at the moment, its looking very certain that we will, that the world will continue to spin and life will go on, regardless of the beliefs of the jw's.. once the pandemic is over i'm wondering if some jw's will realise that even though they lived through a notable period of time, life kept sailing on, and maybe they aren't that special after all?
Every convention I ever went to somebody said "this might be the last one."
Late thought, OK the brain is almost 70 years old and I haven't been in a Kingdom Hall since 1988, the gears turn slowly.
I seem to recall that we were told not to identify ourselves as Jehovah's Witnesses because only the 144,000 were the actual witnesses. We were "associated with Jehovah's witnesses." Maybe they're going back to old terminology.
I'd like to see the letter. I'm not a lawyer, but I was an accountant for twenty-six years. I have some professional understanding of legal matters.
This may well be used to try to legally sever the link between the individual Congregations and JW Org,
I don't think this can be done, at least not with anything like the current configuration of the Witness Organization. As long as money flows up and orders flow down, the link exists, whether or not the WTBS acknowledges it. And, as one of my accounting professors said "the first rule of law is sue somebody with money." I spent fifteen years in three congregations and I can only think of two elders that might have had enough money to make a lawyer interested in suing them.
In other words, playing word games won't shelter the WTBS
why is there a group so fearful of being tracked?
if you carry around a cell phone, your every movement is being tracked, even if you disable it.
court proceedings have shown google and apple can hand all the data over of all your movement.
The chips would fail with the first patch update
I don't think they'd last that long.
evidently it would seem the wt sold the rights and will get royalties from "listen obey and be blessed.." this obviously is a trial balloon for what's to come.
kim and mikey alluded to this and i have been wondering why they are planning on spending hundreds of millions on a new movie studio in n.y. and also in australia just for the benefit of the few million jdub's.
well here's the answer, they are going to make money off the royalties from their music and video content selling to other church groups.
They're going to have to hide their identity. Most main stream churches, and a lot of non main stream churches, regard JW's as doctrinal heretics.
or do you think the idea of a deep state is malarkey?

How we know the CIA and/or FBI wasn't behind the Kennedy assassination: he's dead isn't he?

Don't know who will win, the American people will lose.
In the late eighteenth century there were about three million Americans and the country was run by the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, James Madison, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, Governeur Morris, George Mason, John Rutledge, Patrick Henry ...the list goes on.
Now there's 300 million of us and we've coughed up Trump, Biden, Pence, Harris Peolsi and McConnell. There's something wrong with this picture.
