have you guys noticed, this year 2023 no more public edition magazines...i wonder how they are gonna spin that fact.
Wow. It really is the end of an era.

Canāt help but wonder if this is yet another example of circling-the-wagons-slash-closing-ranks.
After all, the fewer publications there are, the less material is available to be offered door-to-door, the less door-to-door work can be done, and the less any halfway-knowledgeable householder can ask uncomfortable questions to those going door-to-door.

i just read about a disfellowshipped person who was looking for other disfellowshipped persons to socialize with.
what does the org have to say about this?.
ThomasMore - āAs I recall, the C.O. felt that DF'd persons should have NO ASSOCIATION WITH ANYONE. That seemed particularly cruel to me!ā
Not to mention a perfect recipe for eventual paranoia and psychosis.
i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.
also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i donāt want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .
there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, iām married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.
Why is this thread still going?
I honestly thought the original thread title was meant sarcastically.
What ābenefitsā? š

Iāve long felt that if the WTS wasnāt already its own worst enemy, they at least had one ready-made.

anybody else notice this?
the have a syndicate (governing body) regional bosses (district overseers), captians (circuit overseers), and elders are their "made men" that enforce policy at street level.
if you run your mouth too much, they wipe out your whole family (disfellowshipping).
āNice extended family connections you got thereā¦
ā¦shame if something were to happen to āem.ā
w81 11/15 p. 21 par.
18 āstay awake and keep your sensesā - "...the witness yet includes the invitation to come to jehovahās organization for salvation...".
such an ironic & tragic title for the article!.
Captives to the concept.
maybe this has been discussed in the past and i wasn't here... what do you think?
are the gb members knowingly pulling a con, or do they have delusions of grandeur?
i will go out on a limb here to say that i think they are con artist.

Actually, I suspect authoritarian leaders donāt experience cognitive dissonance.
