  Poor guy.

  I hate it when I get deleted, too.

  Takes forever to come back from it.

  it’s now official - the governing body members are called for legal deposition in a major court case against jehovah’s witnesses!

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ke6cgh/its_now_official_the_governing_body_members_are/.

  recent court documents show that members of the jehovah’s witnesses governing body — including former member tony morris — have been officially subpoenaed to give sworn testimony regarding cases of sexual abuse in new york and how the organization dealt with (or essentially hid) them.

  when member (vintage) told me that my private messages were not working, i thought a mistake was made.

  but it seems he or she are correct.

  my private message option is "not" working, so i was wondering if that could be fixed.. .

  since the jw organization started video production there has been such a flood of it that no one can, or possibly even wants to keep up with it all: some thoughts and questions i"ve had -.

  Did the Fred Franz style of writing cease after he died?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was completely out by 1991 and 1989 would have been the last time i had to attend regularly.

  that over the top franz writing style was still there in the 1980's although i've heard he wasn't actually doing much writing by then.

  but his style was definitely picked up and imitated for many years beyond its wacky, outlandish peak of the the 50's - 70's.

  Ted Jaracz used 9-11 to purge all the moderates and liberals from the decision-making process (and the premises), so now there’s no one left with the creative chops to give WT theology and eschatology the rewrite it needs.

  As a result, they’re stuck with Franz’ old Cold-War-centric End-Times script, and it’s increasingly implausible sequence of events.

  It has been about keeping the Org’s reputation untarnished…

  … but only insomuch as it placed their charity status (and subsequent tax-exemption) at risk.

  More Importantly, it was about keeping the full scope of the problem from the rank-and-file.
