BOE Update! (as of 2020-07-31)
by Atlantis inbody of elder letters, announcements, and so forth will be next to "none" unless more elders decide to contact us and help out.. atlantis has lost three elders in the past two years.
two elders were disfellowshipped, and one disassociated and walk away a month ago.. when this happens receiving confidential documents is severed.
the last announcement we received was 2020-07-23. i was not about to send out a childish letter on "mold" in the kingdom halls.. there are people out there out of work and concerned about what they will eat tomorrow, and the watchtower is concerned with mold!.

The presenter states this at the start and also expresses how grateful he is at the comfort they are able to provide for her.

Trump suggests postponing the elections ... I'm not making this up
by RubaDub inelections have been held per the us constitution during many difficult times; us civil war, ww i, ww ii, whatever.
i just put on the pro-trump fox news and even they are saying ... oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. this is really scary.
are we headed towards a dictatorship?

This has got to be a sign that Trump has lost confidence that he will win the election.
For a while now, we hav seen Presidents elected for a second term. It will be embarrassing for Trump if this is not also the case for him.

2020 Convention Friday Highlights: Information Control and Hypocrisy
by neat blue dog inthere's yet another talk to add to the list of talks written specifically for damage control against "apostates".
the speaker says, "some who were once part of the christian congregation attempt to mislead us", that they tell "false accusations" & "lies".
to combat this, he says that you should "protect your ears from damaging noise by not listening to it", comparing it to wearing "noise canceling headphones".

They are only in the second half of the first day before they started asking for money.
I couldn't believe it, they were supposed to be standing up at the time and were told to be seated as soon as the request was made.

What's Wrong with the Watchtower?
by Vanderhoven7 innot sure who wrote this list a while back but i think it is worth a repeat....to be added to or subtracted from or modified...whatever.. what's wrong with the watchtower.
"overlapping generations" - this teaching makes no sense.
the word used by jesus is in the singular, not plural form.. .

They are great points Vanderhoven and the list doesn't stop at those 50 valid reasons. No wonder the Watchtower tells them to block their ears.

Just wanting confirmation on an unofficial JW experience
by joe134cd injust wondering if anyone can confirm or deny this unofficial jw experience that my father received by email.
i’ve told him that it against wt rules to forward unofficial accounts.
but of course he just puts that down to apostate driven lies.

I don't think the Watchtower would appreciate this story making the rounds. Giving praise and attention to a worldly organization is not what they encourage. The GB would want it directed towards them for providing these new arrangements.

Tonight there was an 8 minute segment allocated to reporting on JWs regarding child abuse and the redress scheme. It was presented by Lisa Wilkinson for The Project.
The Australian Branch has issued a statement to the Show advising that they will not be joining the scheme.They state:
Statement From The Jehovah’s Witnesses
The religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses does not have the institutional settings that the voluntary National Redress Scheme is designed to cover.
Therefore, the Ministry for Families and Social Services has been advised that Jehovah’s Witnesses will not join the Scheme.
Jehovah’s Witnesses have responded and will continue to respond directly to individual claims for redress in a caring, fair, and principled manner, taking into consideration the unique circumstances of each claim.https://10play.com.au/theproject/articles/statement-from-the-jehovahs-witnesses/tpa200621ycelq
I do not know whether those outside of Australia can access the program but if you can then the segment begins at 31.33
https://10play.com.au/theprojectLisa Wilkinson who speaks as she sees things concluded with
"Maybe remember that next time one of them knocks on your door. The cruelty of it all is breathtaking."
No doubt, the 'JW's do not have the institutional setting that the voluntary National Redress Scheme is designed to cover'.
That's because the Australasian Branch can only accept instructions and direction for the Headquarters in New York, regardless of what they may think is morally right or not.
