  You've got one thing right Gorbatchov, it's cheap. We would call it as having fun at other people's expense.

  I've been reading the articles on the website for several years now and really appreciate them.

  He is soon to face persecution from the JWs and has been summoned to a JC. They will not tell him who is going to be on the JC or even what they are charging him with.

  Governing Body should also be in Caps, they only use lower case when referring to their 1st Century governing body.
  
  If this were true it would be incredible that this has resulted from the direct work of 'apostates'.

  "however, i say to you that everyone divorcing his wife , except on the grounds of fornication makes her a subject for adultery...etc" .

  new nwt:.

  Lap dancing can be grounds for divorce, I'd hardly call that fornication.

  meandering thoughts on the memorial meal study:

  so, its a simple meal, wt trying to deflect away the questions about the elephants in the room.

  no record in the bible the apostles celebrating it later, until paul writing about it.

  jesus commanding it to be celebrated every year.?

  sadly an 18 year old russian male shot and killed 20 people and injured another 70. this occurred last year on the 17th october, 2018. kim and mike (youtubers) reported this today.. the russian had been raised by his mother who is a jehovah's witness.

  his ex girlfriend said that he had been subject to bullying because he was seen as different by other school kids and believed the shooting may have been a form of revenge.further information can be found here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/kerch_polytechnic_college_massacre.

  his mother belonged to the local jehovah's witnesses,[27][28][29][30] limited his social activity, searched his pockets and refused to allow him to go to the cinema or use a computer, only allowing the latter when he turned 16.

  Oh, sorry, I didn't realize it was about this incident as I didn't click on any of the links. I appreciate when an OP includes details or a summary of the issue they are raising.
  
  Here's the link to Mike and Kims Youtube

  There has been very little news coverage of this event but I think the Wikipedia entry has been sourced well.
