Country Line Dancing was "banned" in our circuit many years ago when it was popular. Seems that too many couples went from line dancing to the "horizontal tango" with each other's wife.

They must accept that Jehovah will [very, very] frequently mislead his people by giving the GB the wrong information or knowledge. (I fixed that omission for you.)
If you come to the perfectly reasonable conclusion that a group of men who have to constantly correct themselves may not be getting their information direct from God... you are an apostate.Of course, they are not infallible nor inspired and they admitted in writing in the WT rag that they can "make mistakes in doctrine and organizational direction" and at the Annual Meeting they admitted
sometimesoften "they simply DO NOT KNOW".Deut 18:20-22
20 But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’
21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ 22 If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.

We had the CO stay in our home many moons ago and he checked out our book shelves (several racy ones there) and our video library. He said he watched Schindler's List. (WOW! Rated R)

THANK YOU BLONDIE!
That is exactly the article to which I was referring. So, maybe we should add the following to it:
Deuteronomy 18:20-22New International Version20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.”
21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

It does not mean that God tells them what to say or write. That would be a prophet. A prophet relays God's messages.
FYI -- WT claimed in the WT to be God's "prophet". Seems like it was an issue in 1972. I'd take the time to look it up but . . . . .
Look it up yourself, if you think you can deal with the cognitive dissonance.

Although CNN does not mention any sources other than a vague agency, doesn’t show the report, who signed off on it. Just a ‘trust me bro’.
OH! Is this the same CNN that said Trump would be in jail and Harris would be President?

I suppose that's supposed to be some OH SO PROPHETIC QUOTE from so old antiquated scroll that hasn't been correct about anything, but it's supposed to make us get excited and tremor.

SPIMI Friend Asked Me For The Name Of My (FORMER) Congregation
by HiddlesWife ina present-spimi friend texted me to ask me the name of my congregation--which is my former and last one that i left right after becoming completely/presently pomo.
she was a longtime buddy, who was pimq-pimo-ppimi-on-occasion for many decades.
then shortly before the pandemic, she was dating a brother who was reaching out to become an ms [mind you, this guy was a mic-handler for several decades as well--until an older brother (who was a close friend of his uncle--who converted him into the cultporation years ago--encouraged him to the point of harrassing him to move up the wt corporate ladder🙄😤].

If there have been Cong closings and "shuffling" as there has been here, you could say "I live in the XXX Cong territory since the (changes). But it does sounds like she might want to "inquire about you" at whatever Cong you claim to be with.
If you do reply, be sure to tell he how great everything is going for you. Life couldn't be better!
The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!
