with all the bethel leaks.
i started to think about the levels of pimos with in bethel as apposed to the rank and file.
would there be higher rates of pimos bethel due to seeing the more unsavoury side of it.
Would there be higher rates of PIMOs Bethel due to seeing the more unsavoury side of it.
I never "served" at Bethel. But I was an elder for many years and I was involved in the Borg politics at the Circuit and District level. The higher you go, the more evident is all the politics and bullshit. I would not be surprised that someone at Bethel sees a lot more BS goings on there than the average R&F JW lapping up the Koolaid.
It is merely a televised theatrical spectacular that is completely 100% politics. This same group of "concerned" politicians who want "the truth" to be revealed totally ignore the Biden Crime Syndicate, BLM corruption, and other "lefty" radicals (like Auntie Maxine and her calls for violence).
I thought Trump (2016) would be a joke or else a RINO (since he had plenty of rubbing of shoulders with the Democrats). But he was (as anyone would have been) the better choice over Crooked Hillary. It was the best 4 years of governance (as well as prosperity) I've seen in decades. I truly believe he wanted to "fix" America. I can see no greed (unlike the Biden and Clinton families) in his presidency. He served 4 years and accepted no salary -- something no other president has ever done -- even the rich ones.
i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.
What I find ironic is this -- over 75% of abortions are performed on "people of color" -- primarily blacks and Latinos. These are the people that the democrats claim to support, yet they still support "killing" them off. There is clear evidence that Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, knew that primarily black babied would be aborted by this procedure. Seems like the Dems were intent on killing off more of "their base".
saluting the flag was something not encountered very often here in the 1970s uk, in fact that kind of nationalism or patriotism was something i'd been warned about as a young boy, being brought up in the jehovah's witnesses from age 4, through meetings and the publications.
at some point, i don't know when, i decided it was more american, whether rightly or wrongly.. but even so, there was a large black and white photo of our entire school in panoramic format right outside my classroom on the wall saluting the flag, and i think this was the 1977 25 year jubilee of queen elizabeth ii.. now as a young person attending a fairly religious school in the 1970's, you were used to "making a stand" for things, letter in hand first day in a new class, and being ushered into one room or another to avoid religious assemblies and other xmas, and other seasonal celebrations.. one day the teachers, in their abundant wisdom, stood myself and a younger witness in the corridor right outside the assembly hall where the children would filter past.
every second or third child that filtered past would ask, "why are you standing there?
Teachers can be shitty people.
Ain't that right!
Look at some of the bat-shit crazy stuff the Teachers Union and (ultra liberal) teaching are touting here in the USA.

Those are great!
Wonder if we could copy them with Legos?
i know this subject has been talked about lots over the years, just thought i would share a recent finding from canada.. while visiting with a group of friends, an elder (don’t recall how the subject came up) mentioned the local body had voted to allow brothers with beards be allowed to give talks from the platform.
(it was a very close vote).
the direction given was for each congregation to decide for themselves if that is now acceptable.. so some congregations will be for, and for many it will not.. it’ll probably be a long time before we see any pictures on the watchtower where they’re allowing this though..
What publicatoin?
for argument sake let’s assume that this verse should apply to 1914. what are your thoughts on generation?.
Let's review: "It's a Cult!"
a pimo elder at bethel has come forward with a special message posted on reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/gallery/v9mgao.
the dated pictures attached are "proof conclusive" that this is for real.
no outside guests are allowed inside bethel at this time.
Is Billy the Bethelite the source?
Did he finally make it to Bethel Elder?
the court of appeal of belgium acquits the watchtower for its shunning policy, ex-jw patrick haeck previously won.
he will see with his lawyers what to do next.

Sorry to hear that news.
only jesus has the power and authority to defeat satan and kick him out of heaven:.
“now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our god.”.
Who gives a rat's @$$?
Is Santa really Satan?
