That's an incredible amount of research and the most detailed history on Anthony Morris III or should I say Anthony Morris Jnr since this is on a public forum?

Anthony Morris- Military records are now available under FOIA
by Bleep Bloop inif you've wondered what tony morris' original last name was, or if he really served in the military, i put up a youtube video today summarizing many of these details.
my goal is not to doxx him or his family, but to put some meat on the bones of his life story article, using available public records.. thanks to the community here that gave me the impetus to dig into this.
and i can definitively say that, contrary to popular opinion, his last name was not esposito haha.

Beroean Pickets- please offer encouragement
by Lightgrowsbrighter infor many who have left jw.org, there is still a spiritual need and faith in the bible.
beroean pickets is one group/website where serious bible research and commentary, weekly critical reviews of wt studies, as well expose's of flawed wt opinion/doctrine- all backed by the bible- can be considered.
this vast amount of work and research is all done by just a small group of our volunteer brothers and sisters.

I'm not too sure that they are paranoid in this instance as they have every reason to be concerned with how they handle their JC with Eric Wilson.
My thoughts are with Eric Wilson as you think you've got the organization worked out and it just sinks lower and lower with their tactics. -

This is a transcript of the email that Mark from Watchtower in Focus received. He says a letter was written to a Governing Body Helper that works closely with Morris explaining concerns over this incidence. The reply from the helper stated -
Dear ..
While I appreciate the concern of the Brother "who witnessed this" I also have some concerns about the assumptions made.
Please keep in mind that there are a number of circumstances that others may not be aware of. For example, using the purchase in connection with visitors, graduates from Gillead or the Branch Committee School, also over what period of time will this be used?
As far as dedicated funds, some of our Brothers had businesses prior to coming to Bethel. I will not get too personal on Brother Morris' circumstances in that regard.
It does point out that our dear Brothers are a "theatrical spectacle" so please assume the best of our dear Brother. Thank you
The response explains that there are a number of assumptions made and he has concerns about this. He then proceeds to make a number of his own assumptions but expresses no concerns whatsoever with these. In fact, there are a number of concerns if we were to examine them..
He then explains the obvious - that there are a number of reasons why behind Morris' actions but doesn't even attempt to give anything factual when it is within his ability to do so and further to that, he has been asked to do so. I guess that if a Brother does have concerns about this then they are not only entitled to ask Morris directly but Biblical direction would make him required to address it.
One of his suggestions is that they have been bought as gifts for other Brothers/Sisters. I wonder if anyone has gone out and bought something like expensive bottles of perfume for the Sisters. I can't imagine many of them being interested in Scotch Whiskey. But this is a boys club to begin with and only further cements it as such.
Another problem is why are they giving such gifts to other Brothers? When I mentioned this video to my husband (never a JW) the first thing he said was it could be a type of bribery. How much more are these JWs going to feel indebted to the GB with expensive gifts being showered on them? How many should be stumbled because of this? How many Bethelites or other JWs would be offended when they hear of this?
The GB Helper then chooses to completely ignore the issue of whether dedicated funds have been used or not. There are no reassurances here even though it would be easy enough for him to find out or advise. He obviously shows no concern for the Brother who has written the letter in the first place, even though he claims that he does.
The odd thing is that the GB Helper refers to Morris as being a 'theatrical spectacle'. He's a spectacle for sure but a 'theatrical' one? That surely means that what he does is an act. The man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz comes to mind. Regardless, how did the GB get to a position where they are 'spectacles'?
Then without any explanations of the actions of Morris he turns this all around and asks that the letter writer ASSUME the best of Morris.
One thing does stand out - he does not deny this happened. His letter suggests that it did. -

It's good to hear that you are doing well in moving on. It would be appreciated if you could put threads like this that you start under Social - Jokes and Humor or Entertainment. There's a good reason why there are different topic labels to post under.

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'. -

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

meandering thoughts on the memorial meal study:
by waton inso, 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.
