i received an email with the following information that is worth sharing.. the 2011 yearbook goes to great lengths to elevate the truthfulness of watchtower information in even minor details, and criticise information from other sources.
so it is telling that the 2010 "jehovah's witnesses - faith in action, part 1" has omitted an important element of their history when re-enacting the 1922 cedar point convention.. under the heading "tracing all things with accuracy" the 2011 yearbook states: .
"jesus said that the faithful slave would be discreet in giving the domestics "their food at the proper time.
Once again…
…the moment you use underhanded tactics in your efforts to claim the moral high ground…
…you forfeit the moral high ground.

Unless there’s a comparable paper trail for trolley work or tables in the park, I suspect the Org needs the D2D records in case their charity status gets audited by revenue agencies.

Whoda thought she’d been pulling double duty as a choirboy? 😏
a sister said the other day at the ministry group “”what is all this talk that the end is still some way off” she said she has been waiting for decades and she was told there is no way it would take this long.
some others said in an annoyed kind of way yes they would have made different decisions decades ago if they knew the end still would not have come by 2023.. how will the majority react in a few more decades time when the end still hasn’t come?.
why all that talk of sense of urgency decades ago?.

I doubt they’ve given you what you want.
So, why would you give them what they want?
i thought this was an interesting response to the question.
"being faithful and loyal to god implies or includes.
being faithful to your spouse (hebrews 13:4),.
Vanderhoven - “Do Jehovah's Witnesses view faithfulness to Jehovah as being equivalent to faithfulness to the Governing Body?”
Not quite.
They view loyalty and obedience to the GB-slash-WTS as being equivalent to faithfulness to Jehovah.
It’s a subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless, and most of them aren’t consciously aware of it.
i had a conversation about this 22 carat gold contradiction with a couple of zealous jw's a couple of days ago.. even their personal "explanations" contradicted each other as they tried justify their cognitive dissonance!.
an absolute delight to witness such absurdity.. "after all, no one will be allowed to practice vile things in the new world.
the unrighteous must have practiced these vile things [john 5:29] before their death.
Wilfully ignorant people do seem to sleep a bit better at night.

people who work with children in england will be legally required to report child sexual abuse or face prosecution under government plans.. .
the move - which is subject to a consultation - was recommended last year by the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse (iicsa).. .
the home secretary told the bbc she wanted to correct one of the "biggest national scandals".. .
That’s… a weirdly-phrased question… 🤨
