Speaking most definitely for myself, and I suspect many others here, I very much appreciate all you do to maintain this site and this community of friends.

JWN, 23 years posting Blondie
by blondie incan i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.

TWO NEW GB MEMBERS! WOW!
This important announcement/revelation helps me see where my journey from JWism has taken me --
I could not care less about 2 new GB.
Once was the time I'd have googled and searched and made a couple phone calls to PIMO and POMO friends, but now I simply cannot be bothered. This religion has less and less affect on me as time progresses. This religion is nothing more than a bunch of people who have an overly inflated opinion of themselves. And more recently there is an increasing amount of mediocrity from the leadership.

I have no desire to join another cult or high control religion after all the years wasted with Watchtower.
DITTO!

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon 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.

I would say I was here, but in disguise. But really, I haven't been here. I will always return as I have some JW family left, but really- I have drifted away from drifting away. Been there, done that.
Sounds like you're on your way to being an "Ex Ex-JW" --
Sorry to say I am still letting it (JWism and ex-JWism) be too much of an influence in my life. But as the few JW friends I once still had go more and more incognito on me, I think it will have lesser and lesser influence.

He wears a disguise when liquor shopping.
Bet he wishes he had done that on his past trips to Liquor World.

In the grand scheme of things, he's just not that big of a deal
I think AMIII was one of the most visible of the GB. Ole Rubber Face is probably more recognizable because of his facial mannerisms. Maybe Herd as he is the only black GB. But after those considerations, I think Tony is most memorable. For one thing, he was a better speaker than the others. And you have to admit he made some shocking statements that made him memorable.
So, I think it's amazing there are no reports of him being sighted. There are, after all, PIMO "spies" everywhere! That's something WT cannot fix and it has got to bug the hell out of them! I suspect he is intentionally staying incognito.

What is non abhorrent pornography?
I believe that may require an extensive investigation to determine.
Although I find myself very, very busy these days, I will do my utmost to schedule the time required to do an exhaustive investigation.
