  A lot of the partakers are PIMO. That is how I see it, and the WT hierarchy knows it.

  for those who want to see how bad it really is, 2 thoughts: .

  1) the article says "jehovah" gave gifts in men, but the bible in gal: 6 clearly mentions the one who ascended into heaven as the one, jesus, their reigning king, that does provides these " the captives.. of course when wt writers say jehovah they really mean the wt society.

  and local elders, ms, really are wt appointees, now done by the co, a man with no assets.

  according to the GB they are not inspired but they are guided by spirit, although they took that out of the baptismal questions

  here is one of the many commandments jesus instructed his twelve apostles to keep, follow, and obey!.

  here is anthony morris ( supposedly selected by jehovah to keep, follow and obey the sayings of jesus ) name-calling and condemning enemies!

  In the Spanish groups there's talk of many officially denouncing Tony's video as a hate crime which goes against human rights which are written in many countries' Constitutions.

  Several YouTube activists have made videos of their denouncing Tony's video by filing official complaints according with their respective national laws.

  Is that something that could happen in English speaking countries at the same level of involvement? Are our national laws as clear concerning human rights so that we could take measures to file against this hate video?

  Ant legal recourse?

  by Huxley1979 in

  2. friends

  hello everyone, if the elders start hounding someone to attend a judicial committee meeting is there any legal recourse that someone can take to make them back off?

  i know that sometimes they will just at the threat of it.

  thoughts?.

  it depends on whether the local elders feel they need to kick you out to let the rank and file know you were dealt with or they can leave you alone and no one will notice.

  David Splane's 2020 Conventionl talk ....''Jehovah has to come first''

  '' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?

  you lost your job and you searched for another one.

  finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.

  Can the GB'ers be so out of touch?

  That they don't realize how stupid their counsel sounds?

  I guess that's what they meant when they wrote about instructions that don't seem reasonable from a sane person's point of view.

  It's a Cult, yup, it is definitely a very unreasonable statement, but what can we expect from a Cult leader who has all his needs taken care of and doesn't have a clue what people in the real world go through just to make ends meet and survive.
