Yeah, being cut off the public teat and having to “pay back Caesar’s things to Caesar” is “persecution”.

Ten bucks says Top-Shelf Tony’s video is a half-assed attempt at damage control in the face of yet another embarrassing loss.
it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.
i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.
the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.
Hearing all the misinformation, errors, and outright bullshit presented as irrefutable fact was starting to feel like ants crawling under my skin.
😖
any news how things are at bethel just now?
been thinking, strange they have gb members giving speeches when they look so depressed.
but maeby there is not many others too choose from.
Bethel’s like a prison. I mean, it’s got a watchtower and everything.

'legal concerns seem to be a factor behind the watchtower society reversing its position and allowing vaccinations from the 1950's.'.
"the matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself... and our society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.
" watchtower 1952 dec 15 p.764.
Ten bucks says their “charity” status was on the chopping block if they didn’t budge.
last spring norweigian state refused to give public contribution to jws (religious organisations can apply that in norway and previously wtbs has been granted that).
the decision was caused because of practise of disfellowshpiping.. now there is a new twist.. 25.10.2022 authorites in norway send a letter to wtbs and told them that they have four weeks to fix that practise.
if they don't do that they will loose their status as a religiouse organisation.. intrestingly jws did not "understand" what authorites meant by that and requested more time.. how can they not understand?
They haven’t got much legitimate reason for complaint, either; all they’ll really lose is tax-exemption.
Boo-fucking-hoo.
Unless…
…their financial status is at risk without it.
😏
so i grew up as a witness but i’m no longer active, i have some family that still practices very seriously.

Yup.
