I've long wondered if the quiet-but-steady increase in recent partakers may actually be the result of woken-up still-ins who are doing it just to futz with that stats...

9How to CYA (cover your ass) Watchtower style
by eyeuse2badub intoday’s watchtower article was the ultimate cya.
for friggin’ decades all we heard was that as armageddon gets nearer and nearer, the number of the ‘great crowd’ will increase and the number of the “little flock” will decrease!
in fact, it was one of the proofs that the end was near!.

Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?
by AlainAlam indo you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?
as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

A good rule of thumb to remember...
...every decision... every decision...
...is made with the ultimate goal of reinforcing the fiction that the WTS is "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization"...
...because by their own ideology and reasoning, if a religion is not "God's Exclusive Earthly Organization", its very existence is illegitimate...
...i.e. "false".
Without that underlying premise, there is virtually no significant incentive to even BE a Jehovah's Witness.

Medical Supplies - Please Help Me Understand the Rationale About States Bidding Against Each Other
by RubaDub ini really don't understand why states have to bid against each other for essential items such as medical supplies.
when you get into bidding wars, the consumers are the ones who lose.. put 50 people in an auction for a product and the one who wins is the manufacturer, not the ones purchasing.. my wife works for a multi-national corporation.
if she is importing or exporting goods, she doesn't determine what the costs will be; this is already determined through the corporate offices that negotiate worldwide movement of products.

In a lot of ways, the US was a nation created by businessmen, for businessmen...
...it's practically become an integral component of the country's DNA at this point.
Is it really any wonder, that virtually everything is conducted in a businesslike fashion, up to and including "bidding" for resources?

As far as I'm concerned, "sticking to the script" is just one more example of their transition to a full-on e-religion with canned talks, cycling login passwords, and a mandatory monthly membership renewal.
Which just makes the exodus that much easier, IMO.

Today’s nauseating WT
by Slidin Fast ini am sitting at home, trying not to barf as this wt paragraph by paragraph tries to character assassinate those who have the temerity to take the emblems.
the unwritten, unspoken subtext is that they, the gb, the now distinct and separate “slave” are above all this.
they, the gold standard are immune to this questioning.

Ten bucks says they're priming the rank-and-file for the moment the shitshow gets too much, and the GB (and select "helpers") quietly bugger off to the Caymans...
...one else gets "raptured" because all the other partakers have been not-so-subtly smeared as posers and liars.

JimmyYoung - "My feeling is they have so much bad press they know if they disobey they will get hammered."
Ditto.
Ten bucks says their lawyers have advised them that due to all the pedo-related shit going on, their tax-exempt status is too precarious to risk pissing off "Satan's World" any more than they already have.
Which, of course, begs the question...
...just how dependent on their tax-exemption IS the WTS?

by The Fall Guy init lasts for 45 minutes, but the first 11 minutes are more than enough to see that something is not quite right regarding the media's information about covid 19. the video has english subtitles.

Repetition Of Things/Repetition for Emphasis!
by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara inall this gt,end of times, corona, etc has got me thinking that something i read some time back may perhaps seem true abotu repetition.. james clear wrote an article about:why facts dont chnage our minds.
"silence is death for any idea.
an idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it.
