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.
Athanasius - “…nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store…”
Wow, that… IS serious…
Wait, didn’t Stalin actually “disappear” that poor fucker he proto-photoshopped out of existence.
Maybe Top-Shelf is roomies with Jimmy Hoffa… 😄

“🎶 Koo-lookoolookoolookookooo… 🎶”
prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.
are they allowed to?
would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.
Ohmygod, that’s too funny!
Reminds me, I had an aunt who thought Def Leppard was demonic…
…simply because the band was popular.
Seriously.
She was so out-of-touch (and her personal preferences were so entrenched) that she couldn’t even consider that maybe they were actually skilled musicians and that people enjoyed their stuff.
I played the piano back then, and told her point-blank that I knew for a fact they were talented, simply because their music was really hard to learn. The look on her face was fucking priceless, but she couldn’t say anything, because…
a) …she’d always respected my musical ability, and…
b) …I was one of her kids’ only cousins who’d hang out with them. 😏
Looking back, she probably would have had a meltdown if she’d ever found out just how “Pour Some Sugar On Me” originally became popular. 🤣
how many can you think of.... they speak for god.. it would seem presumptuous to say they speak for god,.
they are neither inspired nor infallible.. they are god's only channel for issuing truth here on earth.
they won't be apologising for any errors/falsehoods they have promoted in the past that fail.. congregation members must be quick and apologise for their errors to avoid harsh discipline/disfellowshipping.. when they change a major belief/doctrine you must not complain or criticise them.
@ Ron.W.…
Here’s a couple more of my favourites:
“Everything bad you hear about us is false! Even the stuff that’s true!”
“Every idea we have is a blessing from God! Even the stuff we cribbed from Satan’s World!”
with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.
in my mind these are the results;.
1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.
Apathy… burnout… Covid… dwindling finances… litigation…
…the hits keep coming.
annual meeting 2019—talks and 2020 year textthe governing body members are nothing but a bunch of weasels.
here is a talk by jeffrey jackson on how the governing body ''the slave class'' has remained spiritually awake over 100 years and alerted its members.. he looks back on the ''faithful and discreet slaves'' false dates over the 100 years: '' but at times, we look back over 100 years, and there were times they got excited about a certain year or time, and the end didn't come at that time.''.
he makes the comparison between the ''slave class ( who disappointed others when the end didn't come ) to a barking watchdog ( who in his enthusiasm barks at nothing in the middle of the night and wakes up the owner).

Corrected for grammar, punctuation, and above all, accuracy.

For some reason, every time I read this thread title, I keep picturing Top-Shelf in a red-and-white-striped sweater-and-toque ensemble…
🤔

So… is this our inevitable future?
And, if so, where can I find a flame-throwing electric guitar?
