i had a thought about neutrality...how we were never to take sides on political issues, say by voting.
how does that square with the letters we were asked to write to various lawmakers in countries-not too many years ago we were ask to write to russian officials.
i wonder if there is to be a letter writing to norway.
Any “neutral” stand the WTS ever took was calculated solely to antagonize secular authorities just enough that the backlash could make them appear victimized to the courts, the media, and especially the rank-and-file.
Of course, we understand now that going around jabbing folks in the eye with a stick and then whining when you get a beatdown for it doesn’t actually make you “persecuted”.
It just makes you an asshole.
hi everyone i’m not pimi or pimo i’m pima.. i don’t think the gb have everything right but i’m sitting on the fence that maybe they do some things.. if the great trib starts i will jump that side of the fence.. this is a definite little sneaky advantage dodging but even by their own doctrine last min some could come in.. i suspect many are like me.. i spent years in bethel and am very disappointed and disillusioned by it all.. but at the end of the day i love the bible and think it is the word of god and i don’t see any other religion that comes as close to what jesus describes his true followers or who are fulfilling mat 24:14..
Welcome to the forum.
Best of luck keeping your sanity.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.

TonusOH - “…Taking it down doesn't make sense to me. That was only going to stir up more rumors and gossip.”
They don’t understand the Barbara Streisand Effect. 😏
kingdom halls will be the thing of the past.. conventions (mini assembly halls will still be going on) but will charge for attending and parking and always a donation.
elders will play a much smaller role since csa.
cart preaching will replace door to door.
No crisis.
They just keep scraping the bottom of the barrel even deeper.
No way that’ll ever go south.

inbetween - “…we must be careful not to assume too much…”
Aw, c’mon… where’s the fun in that? 😁

I think the WTS will slowly shrivel away to a pale, whispery shadow of itself.
Like the Hare Krishnas, or the WCG.
i have been out for a long time now and have kept busy.
but tonight my jw mom asked me what is happening in norway.
so i researched and wow!
Diogenesister - “…Tony Morris claimed Norway was interfering with their freedom of religion. Jehovah's witnesses are still free to practice their religion as they see fit in Norway. It's just that they are no longer entitled to state benefits…”
Unless…
…ToMo let slip an unintentional moment of honesty…
…and the Org’s business plan - and therefore its ability to function, i.e “religious freedom” - is, at this point, dependent on government financial assistance.
😏
breaking news!
every jehovah’s witness elder in the 67 counties of pennsylvania are being given notice by state attorney's office to turn over any & all documents relating to child sex abuse cases!

Jeezus, HTF does Fisherman keep his brains from dribbling out his ears?
Anyone with any sense knows that once you start semantic pretzel-twisting to support your side of an argument, you’ve lost the fucking argument.
And his attempts at semantic pretzel-twisting aren’t even that good.

Vanderhoven - “Mere coincidence?”
I’m not a big believer in it.
Can you imagine if he really was personally instrumental in sweeping criminal activity under the rug?
After all that angry ranting about how evil “apostates” are?
Makes you wonder if there was a little projection going on there.
i've been absent for a while, because i've been focusing more in helping portuguese readers know the truth about jw.
we're trying to form an association in portugal to help people abused by religious and non-religious organisations.
i've also been trying to get a little away of these issues because my life has been really complicated since i slammed the door on jw's face!.
Once again (regarding the cover-ups), you want to scream “WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING???!!!”
