Watchtower Museums

now covid restrictions are over, they're pushing on with watchtower museums at many locations through out the world.. looks to me as if they'll be pretty boring.

a few old bibles and photos of the witnessing work from way back when.. one things for sure is they won't include anything relating to constantly changing doctrines or have libraries full of old publications that have since been swept under the carpet..

They could open up a big section on "Why are you looking forward to 1975?"

Ken addresses both guys by their first name, not even calling them by 'Brother'

Poor Gage, he says that being a GB member wasn't the preferred assignment for either him or his wife.

Now with Morris gone, there is not one GB member who has had children, a pretty sorry state of affairs given the serious abuse problem.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

His true colours became evident on this forum and not only was he all about self serving, he had a habit of leaving a destructive trail behind himself.

In relative terms it didn't take long for Simon to ban him permanently but there was another forum that was oblivious to his schemes.

Ex JW Reddit welcomed and supported the God like praise that LLoyd enjoyed for many years. It pay rolled his climb to ex JW fame (on that forum). But when moderators over there realised their complete bias and refused to play his game Lloyd hit back with his threat to resign after someone was not kind to him. No one really cared, his outburst was like that of a two year old and a lot of ex JWs started to see him in a different light. It was the beginning of a very slow and painful death for Lloyd until Kim Silvio came along and exposed Lloyd in such a way that no one could ignore and backed up by his own confirmations. It proved to be the perfect earthquake, swallowing up most of his support.

Unfortunately, other than Lloyd himself, it was ex JW Reddit that has proven to be responsible for the support and praise that he received and ultimately led to many, not just hundreds, but thousands of ex JWs thinking he was someone worthy of their respect.

I think Ex JW Reddit has learnt a huge lesson from this.

Hellothere -

Could it be that he got a conscious and hade to get drunk before delivering talks. That he stepped down cause of guilt.

Surely stepping down wouldn't be nearly enough. Any (True) guilt would move him to make a public apology to all those that taken his words to heart and obeyed them as is required by a JW.

Ray Franz was able to write a book to express his sadness for some things he did whilst a GB member.

Surely this is another example that makes a nonsense of their claimed anointed arrangement.

Supposedly they only have to remain faithful in order to retain their anointing However, if they lose Jehovah's favour, they are no longer anointed but once they regain it, they are anointed again.

If Morris was drunk many times, surely he lost his favour but since it looks like he has been removed as a GB because he has been doing something, then again, it must go hand in hand that he has also lost Jehovah's favour.

Since these dudes are supposed to know, beyond doubt, that they have the anointing, then they would also know that they have lost this anointing whilst they are sinning.

This would mean that Morris was acting in the role of GB when he fully new he was not entitled to do so. Surely masquerading as an anointed before millions would be far more serious than the sin.

Of course I am glad you are okay Vintage. It was nice of you to let us know you were okay so quickly.

I've never been through a really bad storm although the weather reporters are constantly promising us one. (They exaggerate to the extreme). We had thundering, lightening and even rain for the first time in a couple of months last night.

A few years ago we drove for a couple of hours just after a bad storm on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria with fallen trees/branches/rock slides. It was scarier than a theme park ride.
