Re. Fisherman’s post…
Yup.
You can trust that the Bible is true because the Bible says it’s true.
After all, if it wasn’t true, it’d say so…
…wouldn’t it?
even though i'm disfellowshiped ( & i belive wrongfully so).
i still belive this is the truth.
i have been d'f for about 8 months now and working on reinstatement.

i have been thinking about this in relation to the directive given to elders to destroy any incriminating evidence they may have either on their pc`s ,e-mails , private notes in their possession, or notes in their witnessing bags ,etc.
to do with child sexual abuse they may still have in their possession.. isn`t that encouraging the elders to interfere with the justice system ?.
to break the law?.
blondie - “…the WTS will lie to all of them if the WTS deems it is necessary.”
Thing is, they were dumb enough to tell the loyalists to lie in writing.

DesirousOfchange - “I think most of them are not savvy enough to understand the potential consequences.”
I've met a couple who could barely tie their shoelaces without the GB’s “direction”.

i hope the truth about the covid vaccines becomes public knowledge as it does now in australia.

What ThomasMore said.
I’ll add that the more secretive an organization is, the dirtier its secrets tend to be.
the whitewashing of tm111 from jw history continues - tending to confirm that he was booted.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ghbhv6961a.
i'm pretty sure the cult got him to sign a nice nda - in exchange for a lifetime residency in the house bought by wt..

I’ve long felt that insisting that they’re “God’s Chosen” - and therefore invincible and destined to prevail no matter what - would be a major contributor to their downfall…
…because that mindset cannot help but influence them into making increasingly poor decisions.

Teddnzo - “…is it possible that the Borg can throw enough money at the problem that they can make it go away?”
Maybe ten or fifteen years ago.
From what we’ve been hearing nowadays, though…
…not so much.

‘Course it is.
From their POV, however, they have no choice.
Shoring up the premise of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” is paramount - at this point, without it, there’s virtually no incentive left to even be a Jehovah’s Witness. It is - by the WTS’s own internal rhetoric - its entire reason for existing.
However, the use of more conventional methods to resolve their problems (such as Chapter 11) come uncomfortably close to being - for all intents and purposes - tacit admission that the WTS is not “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization”.
in the torah, where the need for sanctuary cities is being established, a hypothetical situation is described where a bloke is swinging an axe, and the axe head flies off and kills another bloke.
the dead man's brother is designated "the avenger" and pursues the original guy in order to kill him for being responsible for the death.
he is allowed to do so, if the original guy doesn't make it to a sanctuary city.
I’ve long suspected that Jaracz & Co. essentially weaponized the “two-witness rule” to deliberately and specifically make it as difficult as possible to expose sex offenders in the WTS.
I strongly suspect that the weirder decisions they make are the result of trying to defend “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” against threats to its survival…
…without having to acknowledge - even to themselves - that the survival of “God’s Exclusive Earthly Organization” can even be threatened.
