if you are a jw you think god is punishing watchtower?
after watchtower got banned in russia and buildings seized, lot's jws said russia would be punished.
org kept losing in court with child abuse cases.
DesirousOfChainge - "If the favorable court cases in the 1940's and 1950's were indicative of divine blessing, what else can all of these losses indicate but that WTS/JW's have lost God's blessing and He is using the Nations to discipline them?"
Yeah, didn't God let "Satan's World" bitch-slap his "chosen nation" of Isreal when they got out of line and wouldn't straighten up?
Retirement, eventually.

hoser - "I see the watchtower corporation as a rudderless, captainless vessel steaming at full power in an ocean full of icebergs."
Or a fucking train wreck in slow motion.
Sure is interesting to watch, though.
what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.
by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.
(mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.
"...Abominations... desolations... interpretations... that's all you're gonna find down here!"
so i have not been to a kh for 26 years.
if i wanted to dissociate what would be the procedure and is there any gain in doing it so long after i left?.

To loyalists in leadership positions, inactives are a potential threat.
They need to suss out potential “apostates” and DF them, so that the rest of the rank-and-file don’t talk to them and find out why they’re inactive.
Procrastinate? 😁
so, i saw dune (1984) yesterday.
i knew it wasn't gonna be great, but deary me.
i'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.. first, i'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing david lynch to write/direct.
Re. Dune ‘84…
…personally I think Lynch was given an impossible task.
if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.
(1992 franz death +80 more years).
if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.
I still think discontinuing the door-to-door work and switching over to online fellowship were always on the to-do list, and that Covid simply gave them a convenient pretext.
no one can steal your thunder when you are the fucking storm!
If you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don’t deserve to be defended.
doesn`t the god of the bible condemn him/her self ,incriminate him/her self by the writings as god`s word?.
any human charged with what god has done in the bible would be labelled a monster and either executed or spent a lifetime in prison..
