They couldn’t even get money from them until the Governing Body decided they could give them their few saved coins, no ice cream for them.

Few JW leader have children
by slimboyfat init’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.
this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.
i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

Thanks for an interesting read. It’s nice to know she was comfortably well off in her later years.

With the Watchtower having similarities to a business, it can also be seen in this aspect too.
For decades, it’s been argued that the main reason females are not paid the same as males and fill far fewer top positions is because of childbirth. Their careers are badly affected by having children. The same can be seen in the organisation where childless couples fill a significant amount of higher positions.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Juneteenth being celebrated by JWs
by Anony Mous inso today i saw a group of jws i know, we were sitting down to eat at a public place and i guess they (mom and daughter) were performing at an event with their sports team… for juneteenth.. they (the entire team) happened to sit next to us for some fast food and i recognized them and said hi, hoping to make them uncomfortable.
they actually said hi and introduced themselves to my family, i’ve seen them before (they go to the same school as one of my kids) and they usually ignore me.
i know for a fact they and their family still goes, the family patriarch is an elder etc.

I have never heard of the holiday, I’m not American. It’s to celebrate blacks being freed from slavery.
This family my becoming less attached to the organisation or have always not followed all the rules.
Either way, it could be a good sign.

EisMe - Perhaps I did not clarify, however, it was late in the night, and I knew in my mind my purpose. I apologize to those that were misled.
What you wrote 8 days ago was -
“ This will be the final topic I post. The structured fulfillment of prophecy has now been made undeniably clear, and after completing one final task—the letter to the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses—I will take my rest. The truth has been presented, the timeline confirmed, and all that remains is the culmination of prophecy itself.” Estephan Leuese”
You made that post to the Governing Body but you also started this thread.
Now you are saying something different in that, you will post that which you are told to. Then you claim that truth is written in your heart.
However, you’ve clearly made two completely opposite claims. Which one is it and how can truth be written in your heart when clearly, it can’t be?
We are all imperfect. I hope you can see the difference in that we may strive and aim to have truth in our heart but we cannot claim that we do for God has spoken to us and warns us
Jeremiah 17:9-10 New Living Translation (NLT)“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the LORD, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” -

EisMe. It was only eight days ago that you started a topic and said it would be the last one you post. What happened, I am asking about your honesty?

WT AUGUST 2025: NEW LIGHT ON HAILSTONE MESSAGE : IS IT BIBLICAL OR JUST CONVENIENT?
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/n_fttvylm-m?si=l44406ohysubkajr.
so today we are considering, the watchtower's new take on the "hailstone message", and if you don't know what that is , they used to believe that according to revelation 16:21 they would be preaching a hard hitting message during the time of the end.
now, let's read the verse first from the new world translation: "then great hailstones, each about the weight of a talent, fell from heaven on the people, and the people blasphemed god because of the plague of hail, for the plague was unusually great" now this is their new understanding as it appears from the 3rd paragraph from their new watchtower study edition for august 2025 and their article:when will the preaching work end, has this to say: "our clarified understanding of matthew 24:14 also adjusts our understanding of the hailstonelike message foretold at revelation 16:21. further examination has revealed that the two scriptures complement each other.

“Further examination has revealed…”
They should ditch their optometrist, fork out a few dollars and collectively, go and see an ophthalmologist. Better still, retire the GB and employee a few Bible Scholars.

The JW is simply going on a childish hissy fit/tantrum when he says that the email was garbage and ALL lies.
He hadn’t even read it, in this skit.
They are training JWs to be liars because there is no way that email would have contained ALL lies.

The climate system is bad and getting worse, it is unpredictable. Global warming is a contentious issue but there is certainly change and probably due to man’s mucking around with nature.
How bad can it get and when will that be? God will intervene before the earth is destroyed and all of mankind. There were only a few left after Noah’s flood days.
Its horrific what man is doing, even our food is not safe.
