the watchtower—study edition | july 2020.
6. the first-century disciples built their faith on their knowledge of the scriptures and the teachings of jesus christ, that is, “the truth of the good news.” (gal.
2:5) this truth consists of the whole body of christian teachings, including the facts about jesus’ ransom sacrifice and his resurrection.
It appears to me that the GB is aware of the fact that they are losing the confidence of many active JW ‘s. Thus the need for all the “damage control" that we have seen taking place.
I believe one reason for the lost confidence is that they have also lost their "mystique". By appearing so much on JWTV, they have been seen as anything from mere mortals to absolute buffoons. And of course, it doesn't help their image when they put forth things like "overlapping generations". A true WTF Moment!
i knew a few pretty intelligent elders .
sometimes i would wonder why they remained as elders or even witnesses because they were successful men who made a good living and were highly respected because of their qualities.. that is a rather small group.
most elders that i know of aren’t the brightest bulbs in the sky.
Back in the day, when I was first appointed (prematurely ) to the BOE
there were a bunch of elders that were indeed smart. They had
intelligence, worldly experience prior to becoming dubs, and management
ability to handle the cong. ~ BluesBrother
I think all of those elders "have left the room". I'd like to think of myself as one of them.
We are all here. We are now all Ex-JWs.
Only the dumbasses are left running the show. Thus the need for video meetings pre-recorded by Bethell-ites.
here is the video, "strengthen your core" by robert luccioni.

here is the response by jason wynne .
Wondering if anyone at Bethell bothered to read it in its entirety?
the new york post published how hunter biden was involved with many criminal activities.
they showed how big daddy biden was well aware of what was going on.
the post got called out for this “ non story “.
Getting ready for President Harris.
i work at two separate hospitals and most of the rns i work with have stated they won't take the vaccine.
i've read a report that 1/3 of rns will refuse the vaccine.
for those in other countries do you see this being an issue or is it more an american phenomenon?.
I can see why there are some concerns. Especially about the Pfizer vaccine which is an RNA vaccine. RNA vaccines are a new thing. It's my understanding that none of our previous vaccines are RNA vaccines.In the USA these multi-billion dollar Big Pharma businesses have been granted immunity from lawsuits for injury resulting from the vaccines. If they are so f***ing safe and tested, then why the provision of immunity granted from Government?
Read up about them people before you make such blanket decisions.

Do we force people to take a flu jab?
Heathcare workers here are required to take the "flu shot".
so did biden make a gaff again?
he said his first 100 days his cabinet will have to wear ball gags.
lol that is some good news.
I bet Hillary would have loved to make Bill wear a ball gag, lol.
And Monica too! That might have saved an embarrassing impeachment investigation.
the breaking news in canada today is the rollout of the pfizer/biontech vaccines.
perhaps we can put this pandemic nightmare to bed soon.. i hate to rain on the parade, but we yet are not clear of any allergic reactions, side effects there might be as they roll out.
but, just have to wait and see...to state the obvious.
and you know God hates drug fueled orgies
Then I suspect that would be one area in which we would differ.
i predict that in a year kingdumb halls will be replaced by zoom.
they will still have assembly halls but will charge a heavy entry fee.
baptisms will continue to be so low that would not be worth counting.
The years fly by a lot faster than they used to do so. But then, that's probably because I'm a lot older.
Point is, a year isn't much time. I don't think changes of any consequence will take place within the next 12 months.

shocking that almost 3000 people lost their lives in one day in the US because of making masks political.
IMO more people are complying with the mask mandates than ever before. So WHY are the numbers rising so dramatically? Why are the more radical States having higher numbers? Why are Democrat celebration parties exempt?
