  The real reason the Watchtower Magazine is studied

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the watchtower study is not real bible study.

  it is a study to introduce wtbts beliefs,doctrines, and practices.

  just think for a moment!

  I was just listening to Michael Felker who has a youtube channel and did a review of the April Watchtower QFR and had this to say about a statement written
  
  

  the "Questions from Readers" article in the April 2018 Watchtower Study Edition. The most noteworthy statement in question is this: "By directing interested people to our official websites, we are connecting them with the one true source of spiritual food, 'the faithful and discreet slave.'"

  Apparently the Bible is not longer the one true source of spiritual food and the JWs job is to direct people to JW org, not Jesus.

  for almost 12 years now, i have been coming to this site on a regular basis and in the last 5, i “faded out”.

  i never regretted this and never will.

  unfortunately though, yesterday, i realized that, until i can publically tell all my old acquaintances why i have left, i will never be truly free.

  That's a really good reason to leave, if we don't try different tactics then we can never appreciate what works for us personally.

  Thank you for all your contributions here, it's been a delight. Also thank you for having the desire to help others.

  That's interesting that you don't need inside information Bobby. Let's look at their property ownership. Possibly now their most valuable properties. Which legal entity/entities own the Patterson, Warwick and Walkill complexes?

  What inside information do you have Bobby? This is a secret society you are talking about and you don't know what they are up to or what their financial situation is.

  For all we know, the Watchtower is going bankrupt as they syphone off the money into other financial structures.

  I know of someone who has a room to let but I imagine it might be a long way from you and you would need a passport and visa.

  Let me guess, you live somewhere in the USA.

  There's something very strange about his obsession. In this video he seems to suggest that other people think he's only saying it because he doesn't have the figure to wear a skinny suit himself. In other words, he is acknowledging that this type of suit looks good on some men. He stated, "Some say you wouldn't look good in one anyway, that's why you don't want one", Tony responds "that's alright Buddy, I would never disrespect my heavenly father". Since he uses the term 'buddy' suggests this conversation is with men.
  
  Either he's being hypocritical or there's only one other possibility that I can see. It's only other men that he thinks, find this attractive.

  He's a creep.

  He says other people would make the point that he wouldn't look good in a tight suit anyway. It seems to me that he thinks young men do look good in tight suits.

  His legacy will be that he is the GB member known as having an obsession with young men in tight pants.

  a reliable source has informed me that a bethel contact has informed them that paul gillies - a london branch committee heavyweight - is moving to warwick to join the legal department there.

  anyone else aware of this?.

  during the recent court case in russia, he posed for a photograph with the gb member and the rest of the wt a-team..

  From 12 years ago IT Support on this forum wrote -

  • Paul Gilles went into London Bethel from high school. He was overseer of the Public Affairs department until the GB consigned it to the dust, although he still seems to be the Society's official spokesman in Britain. He is widely tipped as the next branch-committee-member-in-waiting. His wife Judith is Australian and used to pioneer is Papua New Guinea.

    It is interesting that the OP JWB suggested he might be moved to HQ, possibly as a GB member if he felt he might be anointed at a future time. According to the info he would be 63 years old now.
    
    Even if he was given a position as a GB helper, it sounds more like a demotion from his current position. Maybe they can come up with a new title, no doubt the GB members have plenty of time on their hands these days to come up with one.
