Did you get a chance to talk to her about her broken engagement? That's also a big problem in JW land and I would have thought that the Elders raked her over the coals about that too.

2020 Memorial Talk points for "interested persons" to raise.
by The Fall Guy in1) "what jesus gave was equal to what adam had lost—a perfect human life.".
jesus said that he came as a ransom, (matthew 20:28) but according to jw dogma, jesus' ransom gained far more than what was lost – 144,000 immortal king/priests in heaven to be precise!
adam was never going to produce such super-human offspring!

Thanks Petra, you guys are amazing.
They describe the so called anointed as the bride and groom (or maybe just the bride, who knows) at a wedding and taking vows whilst the other sheep are just the invited guests.
Pretty soon they'll be wanting the invited guests to shower them with presents.

No Need To Preach In Every Country Anymore
by pale.emperor inspeaking to a pimo from my hometown yesterday.
he told me that in the watchtower study (10 nov 2019) regarding “the great tribulation” the elder on the platform said that there’s no need for jws to preach in every country in order to fulfil the prophecy, and therefore the org has already fulfilled that prophecy.
and that there’s nothing else left to wait for now but for “the great tribulation” to come.. gasps of delight came from the audience.. has anyone else heard this?

Watchtower 2015 5/1 states
The Web site www.jw.org focuses on “this good news of the Kingdom.” The site features literature explaining that message in over 700 languages. Do you know of any other initiative that emphasizes the Kingdom good news to such a global extent?
It's interesting how they are now claiming that there web site is now fulfilling the preaching of the Good News to all the inhabited earth. -

ALJ denies refund to tax-exempt to Watchtower
by Rattigan350 inhttps://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=8bdcae82-b20f-4ac4-9c04-4b1cf1191aab.
alj denies refund to tax-exempt religious organization .
finding that a tax-exempt religious organization failed to meet the requirements of the statute providing for exemptions from the motor fuel tax for exempt organizations, a new york state administrative law judge has upheld the department of taxation and finance’s denial of a refund.

"Watchtower did not permit any of the fuel to be used for on-road vehicles, and implemented policies and security procedures—such as securing all tanks and nozzles with keys kept in a secure location, limiting access to the keys, and hiring security guards—to prevent the fuel tanks from being used to fuel anything other than its off-road construction vehicles."
It sounds like they went to extremes to protect their fuel, even hiring security guards. I imagine that wasn't the reason they hired security guards otherwise the cost of protecting their fuel would have been greater than the tax refund.

Selling KH to another religion
by blondie ini found this question box in the july 1969 km.
question box (july 1969, p. 4).
• is it all right to buy a church building for use as a kingdom hall or, when a new kingdom hall is built, to sell the former hall for use as a church?

Thanks Blondie.
"There does not appear to be any direct Scriptural objection to doing so."
If that is the standard to go by then they can throw out just about all their rules, including no blood transfusions.
