if instead of thailand, he had gone to a place where its legal and (supposedly) has some sort of oversight to prevent exploitation?
like nevada in the u.s or amsterdam in europe?
would the being unfaithful part still be a deal breaker as far as supporting his channel?
To quote Hyman Roth: "He's small potatoes."
It's ironic how JWs always found little BS things to make into BIG stories like it really mattered and ex-JWs continue the tradition. Neither group has any real bearing on the World Scene today. It only matters to us because we were/are members in one or probably both of those "clubs".
ultimate justice means that conduct is not inconsequential.

The Bible says you reap what you sow...
But the Bible also says "justice never goes forth and the wicked encircle the righteous". Hab 1:4
As usual, you can justify any position on most any subject by cherry-picking scripture from the Bible.

yesterday's jw annual meeting was held without a word...without any prior mention of it.
anyone on this forum attend the event supposedly held via zoom?
Will the last person leaving the Watchtower, please turn off the New Light. ~ Beth
I just hope I'm still alive to see it.
i would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.
i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.
i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.
I sincerely regret my decades of support and apologetics. ~ ThomasMore
DITTO!
The greatest revenge is a happy and successful life!
i had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.
and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".
" i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.
I always thought using King David as the standard for a "righteous man" was a pretty low bar. I think I'll be OK based on that.
Without knowing how much those men are making, it's difficult to determine how fair the system was
Interesting comment, but true.
Who decided that I should give "Society" a greater percentage of my earnings than the guy next to me who works part time because he wants to do it that way because it gives him the opportunity to help out on maintenance at the Ass Hall?

Forty two minutes?
Sorry. Can't do it.
Of course, I realize it could be worse. It could be Stephen Bozo Lett.

Were is the time we had a lot to talk about new light and changes after the AM
Ahhhh, the "new light" is dim and flickering these days. Probably a rolling brown out.
can i ask please especially for all who are pomo?.
we've taken a decision similar to revelation 18:4 to get out of the watchtower and not share in its sins.. how many of you still believe that god will one day terminate the world's many systems by means of an armageddon?.
I'm betting we get wiped out by an asteroid sooner than the Big A. Or, a bit worried about the F*cksticks around the globe that have nuclear capability. Even that seems more likely than Armageddon at God's hands.
for those of you who still respect the bible, which translation/s are you using now?
why?.
I usually go to the NIV online, but I caught myself pulling out the Diaglott recently when "online" wasn't available.
(Yeah you read it right. No internet in the heart of the USA [admittedly very rural heart of the USA] even though we've been paying a tax for it since Al Gore introduced the idea.)
