  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Two of ‘em, actually, just before.

  Easier to get the supermajority vote you want if/when you stack the deck in advance.

  NotFormer - “…why stroke his ego in that way in the same year that he was on his deathbed?”

  Either the artist had painted that piece before Rutherford’s terminal diagnosis was common knowledge…

  …or the artist was a True Believer, wanted to score some points for the afterlife, and figured The Judge might be inclined to vouch for him.

  Here’s another related thread.

  If Ted Jaracz were alive today, he’d be going out of his fucking mind. 😎

  You posted the exact same image from the OP.

  Seemed a bit redundant, sorry.

  I’ve probably done something similar from time to time. 😄

  Something similar in Montana…

  Who’d’ve thought Letto the Clown’s panicked, over-the-top “shred the fucking files!” moment would ever come back to bite ‘em in the ass, huh? 😏

  I know, right?

  The sheer volume of stuff that the Franz-Era WT cribbed from other churches is breathtaking.

  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  Yes, the Org has “painted themselves into a corner” (so, so many times), and yes, I used to think it would cause them problems...

  …but by and large, the loyalist rank-and-file doesn’t seem to give a shit.

  The thing about painting oneself into a corner…

  …you can wait till the paint’s dry, walk across the room, and start again in another corner.

  Remember, loyalists want the Org to have the Truth be right, so more often than not, they’ll welcome adjustments after the fact, and commend the WTS for making them (whilst denigrating “worldy” religions for doing the same fucking thing).

  Sorry to be the one to say it. 😕
