quote from that world wide resolution: .
that, in order to prevent the destruction of the nations by their own means in war, the nations further refused the surrender of their sovereignty to god’s messianic kingdom by setting up a society of nations, which, since 1945, has taken the form and the name of the united nations, with international headquarters at new york city.
this international organization stands for world sovereignty by political men.
“…but it appears to be what is known as controlled opposition…”
Equally bonkers.
Know what this reminds me of?
I used to joke that Six Screens had to be some kind of misguided “false flag” thing that the Org started, but it got away from them.
Hell, Rick Fearon was practically the “apostate” poster boy… he ticked all the boxes on Top-Shelf Tony’s checklist.
I never meant it seriously…
…but now I’m starting to wonder.

“…the WT owns IBSA aka International Bible Student Association… which still sells the writings of Charles Taze Russel; while the WT currently claims to reject his teachings as apostate…”
Okay, that’s…
…fucking bonkers.

from the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.
decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.
and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.
Biahi - “…those so-called ‘replacements’ are just ‘mentally ill’ people, according to the WT.”
Well…
…they’d know.

TonusOH - “…That bedrock assumption that the GB was god's voice and the WTS was god's organization had to be defended at all cost…”
Even more so for the GB themselves…
…virtually every decision they make is, ultimately, to shore up that premise.
moving on is the hardest thing anyone has to cope with.. i have officially left the org.
and now it feels my family have been waiting to do this for a long time, officially shunning me, even though they were practically doing this whilst i was still in.. it feels like i've accomplished a victory and at the same time i feel guilty i was tangled up in communication with someone who "hid who they were" claiming to leak information from bethel.
i got the call from the man who i thought i worked with.
Actually, I don’t think authoritarian leaders experience cognitive dissonance.
Seriously.
you can't make this shit up!
lol!!!!
someone over on reddit posted this illustration from some wt publication or website or whatever.
Special.
if a change in the blood policy happens, who will be more upset, jws or former jws?
i suspect the latter.
when the beard thing went down, jw's seem to immediately embrace it, whereas many former jw's have been brooding about it.. did it take away a pet gripe we had?.
The modern world isn’t as bad as one might think.
Case in point…
…given a choice, would you rather live in, say, the Old West?
The Middle Ages?
The First Century AD?
the new class action lawsuit against the watchtower for having covered up child sexual abuse will begin in court on may 13-14-15, 2024 in the province of ontario, canada.
it is not the same as in the province of quebec because the laws aren't the same.
i don’t have more details.
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.
Hmph.
When isn’t there something else going on?
😏
