unbelievable.
okay actually it's very believable.
check out the latest video on jwdotorg:.
His message was that to remain spiritually strong, you don't question the Governing Body, you just appreciate then for all that they have done.
JWs are not to investigate or examine any of the claims made about them, their false prophecies, their dogmatic doctrines, their handling of child abuse issues and even the generation teaching.
They are not to be on the watch for that wicked slave.
This type of legal action is generally known as 'intentional infliction of emotional distress'.
Note that it must be intentional. A JW may have a case if they tell the Elders before a JC is held that by having one it would cause a breakdown or worse due to the prospect of losing family and friends. Then if the df went ahead and the now ex JW did have a breakdown then there may be cause.
There would be a time limit for when these cases could be filed.
here is a screenshot from a video on jw.org.

jehovah's witnesses—faith in action, part 1: out of darkness.
Scrolls were expensive so unless they had a Watchtower Bible & Scroll Society using free labour back then it would have been beyond most people's means.
latest news announcement is that there are two companies that have developed a vaccine for the covid virus which they say they will start being distributing to the public in a matter of weeks.. one comes from a company called moderna (94.5% effective) and the other is from pfizer (90% effective).
if all things go to plan you could see things return to normal once the majority of the general public is vaccinated by easter of next year.. yoo hoo .
I was trying to find more information about the Pfizer vaccine program and their claim of it being 90% effective. There is so little information it's not funny. That's a high success rate if true but they aren't prepared to release any meaningful reports at this stage.
They won't even say how sick people became or the side effects of those who have taken the injection.
in a recent conversation with my dad, i asked how he was enjoying the zoom meetings.
he lives in a rural part of australia, virtually untouched by covid-19, in fact, the state he lives in has a limit on religious gatherings of 300, which could easily handle the average attendance of congregation meetings.
so i asked why don't they resume meetings as usual?.
He didn't really give you a reason other than that he is obeying his Governing Body but the Governing Body isn't giving a reason why they have ruled that there is currently no door to door work or meetings at the Halls anywhere in the world, no matter how safe it is.
more proof of god's backing!.
on friday, april 19, 2019 .
a crowd of 20,919,041 gathered to observe the memorial of jesus’ death.
It's November 2020 and they are going on about a memorial observation service held 20 months ago. What no mention of the 2020 memorial? And they call this a modern day miracle.
i had a video from official je.org - an interview with jared judgment but i lost the data.
can anyone, please, post me a link to it.
it must be somewhere on the web.
They deleted the video but you might be able to find it on YouTube.
after 8 months of social isolation do they continue to think its loveing?
they also said social isolation was bullying..
It is apparent that a lot of JWs are in it mostly for the social aspects. It must be very difficult for them to follow the GBs instructions of not leaving their homes unless it is necessary.
Who knows what they are doing at HQ and the Branches when they've always been so busy. It must be tough, doing nothing and living off donated money.
in australia it is compulsory to vote but none of the jws do vote or even turn up at the polling booth and lodge an invalid vote since they don't want to stumble anyone (the people they meet door knocking).
the government fines people for not voting unless they have a valid excuse.
the jws state that they are conscientious objects due to their religious beliefs.
I'm surprised Trump didn't introduce something like that. He's been giving away food boxes.

I've just looked into it and it appears that under the constitution it is legal to not vote on the basis of religious conscientious objection.
Unfortunately, the constitution can only be changed by a majority vote.
