perhaps you considering joining the wt cult - here is a concise list of why you should not.. what the watchtower demands of you:.
1.complete obedience to them.. 2. be willing to lose your life for zany blood teachings.. 3.put other cult members before your real family.. 4.refusal to let you leave their religion when the penny drops it's a cult.. 6.accept that they can backtrack and change any of their flip flop teachings at any time.. 7. you can't change your mind about their teachings without harsh discipline,.
8. insistence that you humbly and quickly apologise for your mistakes and errors.. 9.gladly accept they will never be apologising for any of their mistakes or errors of judgement.. 10.accept that even ones who follow and believe in the bible, but not the governing body are worthy of destruction.. please feel free to add more..
Anyone else who has just read these comments thinking to yourself something like "THANK GOD I'M OUT OF THERE!"?
read this relevant message on reddit, about current elders.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1eb0ees/the_changes_are_affecting_elders_the_hardest_in/.
spot on, isn't it?.
gorby.
Not only the OP on Reddit but many of the numerous replies & comments contain lots of emotion. It appears there are A LOT of elders (and former elders) that don't just "blindly go by the book". I totally understand my so many have decided to walk away. (Me too.)
Those who follow blindly are simply too stupid to question anything, or afraid to be caught questioning anything, or perhaps the prominent ones who are in the limelight find it to be their "drug" and they can't see reality because of their addiction to bright light they are basking in. And for some, it is the only affirmation they get anywhere.
someone sent me a link to the anoninsurrection youtube page.
i found eleven videos documenting an interview with the legal advisor for the former menlo park kingdom hall elders.
you can find them here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=plszmu_qv0dgtco2wl5bnjdx12ny2_cmoo .. i've also published the entire set of eleven along with my comments on ex-jw.com.
SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD and climbing on roofs and "washing windows"! Very sad indeed.
IF he had "stayed faithful" to Jehovah the bOrganization he would have been interviewed on the convention program and given token accolades for one who kept their "eye simple" and held up as an example. Had he had this accident while still an exemplary JW elder, his memorial service would have been conducted at the JW Assm Hall where everyone who attended would feed the contribution boxes (money kept by Assm Hall) before heading out for a few beers with their "clique".
Instead, he dared to challenge the unethical, money-grubbing WT/GB who sought to profit of off this mostly low income, minority congregation, and he was maliciously cast to the curb and thrown under the bus. Without a doubt, his sad demise was "celebrated" in many private conversations of his former elder "friends". ("See there! You can't escape Jehovah's judgement.")
Hopefully he lived (and died) deservedly filled with pride about his brave decision and NOT full of guilt and regret.

Karter -- thanks for correcting my false assumption. Seems WTS isn't so tight fisted when defending themselves. (Just ask the brothers for more money!)
good pick?
bad pick?

An interesting choice between a sincere prosecutor and a multiple convicted felon.
Quit getting all your news from CNN & MSNBC.
Kamala Harris was a horrible prosecutor, and especially toward black men. Of course, that doesn't apply to Willie Brown who helped get her in many "positions", (including missionary). She sentenced MJ users to jail during the time she admits to using it herself.
Have you not noticed that the cases against Trump are "eroding" one-by-one? Some have been overturned and all others under appeal.
I bet you think Trump set up that assassination attempt!

I wonder what it's costing WT to appeal this case...is a WT flunky lawyer involved or did WT source out the appeal proceedings to a pricy appeal specialist attorney?
This is mostly just "pushing paper" which here (USA) a paralegal would perform. I would think British HQ and even Australia HQ have a lawyer to turn to for things like this. Since there is little risk of any kind of CO$T (no monetary award), I cannot see WT paying for outside counsel.

I think they are foolish in pushing the matter so publicly and I believe it will result in the "Streisand Effect" bringing even greater attention to them and CSA.

"They" will allow Biden to finish out the term so that Kamala will not be in the way when they anoint Michelle at the convention.
both political and religious true believers often distinguish themselves by their limitless arrogance towards people who dare hold different opinions from them.
every thing has to be done on their terms; people who think differently cant expect to have the same rights as those who consider themselves true believers.
in this way a elite is created a kind of spiritual master race.
