Wow...higher appellate court rules that lead WTBTS lawyer Philip Brumley is 'a snake in the grass' of an attorney & that the $154,000.00 fine for fraud (submitting misleading & faulse affidavits) in 2 Montana CSA cases is upheld!
What are the chances that Philip Brumley turns states evidence against WTBTS...flips on the Governing Body to save his own ass & reputation? Yay!
there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.
even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.
.
In the U.S.A. a C.O. by the name of Lou Razor. Believe me...this guy lived-up to his name...he had a razor's edge about him! Many a JW were happy to hear that he had retired but pitied the congregation he was eventually assigned to...1,500 miles away!
it comes up from time to time: that the wt's "constant pleas for money" signifies their precarious financial state due to the pressure of the csa settlements.
is there any way of demonstrating that to be a fact?
i ask because i've always been under the impression that "constant pleas for money" is the default state of the organisation, possibly going back to rutherford's time.
People misquote this scripture for their own agenda. "For the love of money (greed) is a root (not the only one) of all sorts of injurious things..." (1 Tim 6:10)
Hey 'a watcher' what do you think of my version of how 1Tim 6:10 should read:
"For the WTBTS is the root of all sorts of injurious things..." (1 Tim 6:10)

I've always viewed Mormons as the older sister to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. The Mormons being the older, more attractive & more successful sister...the Jehovah’s Witnesses being the younger, less attractive (ugly duckling) & less successful of the two.
from the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.
decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.
and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.
...Again to those thick-headed JWs:
"Do not go beyond the things that are written..." (1 Corinthians 4:6).
Capiche!

The years 1914, 1918, 1919, 1925, 1935, 1975 & 2000...WT/JW devotee Rattigan350 won't find any of these dates/years in the Bible.
But, what Rattigan350 will find in the Bible is:
"Do not go beyond the things that are written..." (1 Corinthians 4:6)
By way of summary: Everything a believer says should be based on Biblical truth.

At timestamp 8:00 on the May 2024 #3 Update video or you can reference Atlantis' opening post English Transcript '4.3.1. Study notes: Appropriate' where Kindergarten Teacher GB Winder states the following:
"For example, there are clothes that are appropriate for when we go to the beach or on a picnic. And there are clothes that are appropriate for when we attend a wedding. And there are also clothes that are appropriate for when we go to worship at the Kingdom Hall or in the ministry."
I've been out in public...to the mall, pharmacy, doctors' appointments, grocery store, work , etc since reviewing Winder's above comments on what's appropriate & what's not appropriate dress. It's quite apparent that people in general know how to dress appropriately...I swear...I didn't see anyone wearing pajamas or beach swimwear at any of the places I've been to. I wasn't offended by anyone by what they were wearing! It seems to me that Jehovah’s Witnesses are the only ones that need to be reprimanded, educated & reminded continually on how to dress appropriately in public...I swear!

How Does The Governing Body Get Enlightenment?
To be clear it's not "Enlightenment" in the sense that the WT GB get guidance & direction from God Almighty, Holy Spirit, etc.
You can liken the WTBTS to many USA based man-made large corporations such as McDonald's Hamburger Inc, Jack In The Box, Kentucky Fried Chicken...even General Motors to be fair.
A corporation's business and affairs are managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. Although the board has the power to make all decisions on behalf of its corporation, many business decisions are actually made by the corporation's officers and or investors.
By way of summary: The WTBTS is run by a number of business-minded flunkies & knuckleheads!
the shocking truth behind watchtower's legal maneuvers.

The WTBTS aka Jehovah’s Witnesses flat out admit @ timestamp 1:00 that they are not Christ-Like when it comes to caring for those in need:
"The Church (Jehovah’s Witnesses) has long argued that it has never assumed for the care of children, young people or vulnerable adults...
This is because the Church (Jehovah’s Witnesses) did not have any residential facilities, nor did it operate in any other way that involved the systematic care of such people.
It (Jehovah’s Witnesses) also said there was no institutional structure, system, practice or policy by which individuals were taken into care."
Damn the WT/JWs!
