Is it just me, or does the Org almost seem to be morphing into a parody of itself?

26Is WT Using ATTENDANTS At The Conventions To Be: "TOY COPS"
by HiddlesWife ini have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.

Should a person die for their religious BELIEFS?
by Fisherman inin ancient israel many of the prophets were killed as a result of their religious assignments —from god.
even soldiers were sent out to fight against idolatrous “uncircumcised” and logically some died for example jonathan, the son of king saul.
these soldiers were said to be fighting the wars of jehovah and there was no miraculous salvation for everybody all of the time.

truthlover - “And they are still giving talks off platform in halls- as an elder gave last week, that false religion are the ones committing such sexual offences against children”
That’s interesting…
…up till recently, they’d use weasel words and misdirection to influence the R&F to come to that conclusion themselves…
…now they’ve advanced to full-on lying.
They must be getting desperate.

One thing’s for sure…
…if ever the Legal System felt compelled to “make an example” of someone…
…the WTS has gotta be the perfect candidate.

ThomasMore - “…They reluctantly admit that CSA is a crime, but their actions betray that they view it as sin, maybe just a short-coming.”
And yet they rant from the platform about (conventional) sexual “immorality” like it’s a goddamn epidemic.
By that logic, there are WT higher-ups who genuinely think that unmarried but consenting adults boning is somehow worse than a father diddling his little girl.
What. The fuck? 😵💫

Unbelievable Amount of PIMOS at Massachusetts JW Convention
by RESPECTFUL OBSERVER inthis comment was made on reddit, perhaps protesting is starting to get the witnesses' attention.. it amazed me how many jehovah's witnesses exiting the convention were reading the protester's signs.
some of the witnesses were taking pictures of the signs.
jws were going by and smiling and giving a thumbs up.

You know, it occurs to me that this might’ve gone a different way if the Org hadn’t so stringently demonized the secular world for the past hundred-odd years.
They made absolutely no “friends in high places” to come to bat for them if and when they ever got in trouble.
Jeezus, even nutjobs like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell saw the practical value in that.

Something I just thought of regarding the JWs that Rick mentioned were smiling and giving thumbs-ups…
… I’m actually inclined to believe it.
Remember when there used to be a kind of implication that hidden “sins” would somehow semi-miraculously make themselves known (ostensibly to “encourage” the sinner to get ahead of it and confess, lest it go worse for them)?
I suspect more and more still-ins (PIMO or otherwise) are realizing that that just ain’t so…
…so they got a lot less to be afraid of.

It’s the over-the-top scream-yourself-hoarse ranting that turns me off.
I used to love reading Infowars…
…when I was reading it…
…imagining the information being presented in a calm, concerned Ted-Koppel-like tone (also, because I was still in at the time, but looking for reasons that the Org could still somehow be right, and a lot of early 00’s conspiracy theory could easily be retconned into WT eschatology).
Then I finally got around to watching one of Jones’s videos, and realized, “holy shit, this guy’s a fucking loon”.
