We’ve heard rumblings about the Org leadership half-expecting the CSA problems to sink ‘em, wherein they’ll declare that the Great Trib has started.
Wouldn’t it be a kick in the ass if the instructions were basically just “go to ground and await further instructions”…
…whilst they bugger off to parts unknown with whatever nest egg they’ve squirrelled away?

the watchtower's nightmares have just began in france.
on april the 9th the french senate passed a new "anti-cult" law that will basically strengthen the hands of miviludes, the french agency, the official anti-cult agency that is cracking down on dangerous cults.
LV101 - “…not sure how all that weird ended up about link/dislike/like…”
Don’t feel bad… my brain does that all the time. 😜

Basic common sense would dictate that they put up their hands, back away from the table, and accept their losses…
…but like I keep saying…
…doubling down like this is the kind of strategic blunder that True Believers are gonna make, because they can’t conceive that they’re not invincible and destined to prevail (or that the Truly Desperate make, ‘cause they’re running out of options).

but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’b 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards.
hmm... let's see is anyone on the governing body a strict master and a drunkard?
Who says they have “billions” in reserve?

This bit jumped out at me…
“…France has now become the first country as far as I can tell in Europe that recognises coercion to remain in a religion with the use of family pressure or application of punitive measures like disfellowshipping and shunning as a crime called ‘psychological subjection’ and in that way the open the door for hundreds or even thousands of exjws to take the Watchtower to court for having been subjected to such coercion…”
Its funny…
…the WTS always assumed that “Satan’s World” would try to destroy them with violent militant force.
Getting sued, taxed, and legislated into oblivion never seems to have occurred to them.

ThomasMore - “JWs never see these losses as indication of a systemic problem within their religion…”
Not the hard-core loyalists, anyway.
The rest, though?
if it is illegal for minors to get married, enter into contracts, drink, and smoke, why is it legal for them to enter into lifelong religious contracts they can not break without family shunning and community ostracism????
how religious shunning ruins lives.
a form of institutionalized estrangement, shunning hurts health of the excluded.. updated march 27, 2024 |psychology today magazine.
One small step closer to the Org losing its tax-exemption in yet another part of the world.

This.
Clearly, none of ‘em have heard of the Barbara Streisand Effect.

amazing new light in the latest morning worship by gary breaux.
the gb "never lie or deceive us.
we can have absolute trust in the governing body".. he then makes a very helpful point, so as to avoid being deceived and avoid lies.
GB Helper Gary Breaux - “…It's of note that liars will often shroud or cover the lie in truth...”
Well…
…he’d know.

Didn’t you know?
Everything apostates say is, by default, a lie. Even the stuff that’s true.
That being said, the Org has no interest in having the R&F “defend” themselves against anything XJWs say…
…they haven’t in a long time.
