  the governing body is now focusing on those that are pimos in the congregation, trying to wake up pimis.

  they have a video series featuring a mom, dad, and son.

  the mom is fighting cancer.

  Is that video secretly made by PIMOs because they are very blatant here and may actually wake some people up

  Don't get support and keep your head down when you ARE DYING OF CANCER.

  Then the reflection that "we used to be young and we're still here" - that argument alone is what many people are silently thinking, but now the org is SAYING IT OUT LOUD!

  The questions "How do you know they’re lies if you haven’t even read it" MANY people may actually think this argument makes sense AFTER YOU'VE BEEN TOLD TO FUCK OFF AND DIE.

  Yeah, they're spinning it in some story that you should still rely on the Borg, but many people are going to be asking themselves, Why? Once those doubts start nagging, it's hard to get them under control again.

  Self control fruits of the spirit. Fat GB seem to lack it

  by JohnR1975 in

  fruits of the spirit would surely be required to be gb members?

  yet some of them seem to lack self control when it comes to eating.

  br herd, mark sanderson and br jackson in these are all very obese.. if they travel to poor places wearing their rolex watches and gold pinky rings the brothers there will surely wonder why they are so fat.. there are many scriptures talking about not being greedy and not gluttonous for food.. if they were really chosen by god as his channel on earth then why can’t they show the fruits of the spirit and show self control when it comes to being gluttonous?.

  Not sure where Rattigan gets that JW’s were ever led by Jesus. Even if you somehow think the Bible Students were earnest, the GB idea came after the third schism of Bible Students. The JW organization has always been led by people at the top, they never claimed otherwise. If you want the original Bible Students or Watchtower organization, it is still around, it is not the WTBTS/JW.

  There are various cases where it has held that elders are not covered because they do not have anything resembling a confession or secrecy. If you report to an elder, they start a committee and a written report, that is no longer clergy penitent privilege but business record.

  The problem is that very few attorneys actually know how the JW org works and in most cases there is no claim of privilege, nor are elders sued directly.

  What does the Catholic church think of JW?

  by Halcon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on a trip to rome a few years ago i asked my friend (who is roman and jw) what the catholic faith thinks of jw.

  he simply stated that jw is tolerated by the church but that really not much thought is given to them.

  is there an official stance on jw by the catholics?

  The articles mentioned before seem interesting, but don’t constitute proof. At this point it is hearsay in some sensationalist local rag. There’s always some far away family member in someone’s vicinity looking for 5 minutes in the limelight.

  As far as the papacy, I recently heard there are at least 2 instances in the last 100 years where people say the current pope is not legitimate. Pope John XXIII and Pope Francis both had active opposition in the Church to their legitimacy, believing the current seat to be vacant. Coming from JW it may seem surprising, but that is actually tolerated in the Catholic Church, one had to do with the fact Pope John XXIII covered up serious corruption surrounding the Vatican Bank, for Francis they believe someone or something forced the previous pope to step down (whereas typically they must pass away before vacating the seat).

  breaking: fbi director kash patel has announced the arrest of milwaukee judge hannah dugan for obstructing ice during the arrest of an illegal alien.

  patel: "we believe judge dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, eduardo flores ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.".

  Also, Trump wasn’t convicted, most of the court cases were not criminal, tossed or the one in NY the judge never even sentenced him. And now one of the networks (ABC?) has been sued and must pay Trump damages and publicly apologized for calling him a ‘convicted felon’ which BECAUSE it is untrue is defamation.

  As for the J6 damages, you should be able to prove that rather than just tossing out random numbers. According to FactCheck.org, there were of the about 1700 police officers and about that many of ‘peaceful’ (CNN’s definition, not mine) protesters, 1 protestor died from a stroke on the day before the event started, 1 was murdered by police, 2 police officers died from heart attacks days or even weeks later, 4 from suicide, some months later. That is stretching the definition of cause and effect, even the chief of police said he could not link the deaths of any officers to the riots. Also, there was a nearly 1:1 ratio for police to protestors, not sure how they would have gotten or caused hundreds of injuries, they could have arrested them all on the spot, they’re really unfit or again, you stretch the definition of injury to include that the report actually says the union reported that many feeling sick or injured the next day, this does not seem to be linked to any evidence, of the 170+ reported only a handful were deposed to testify to the fact they were injured, one infamous example was the (rather rotund) officer that was on camera to have simply tripped while walking by himself that day.

  As for the AI videos, all it can do is very short clips and even those are heavily edited to make them coherent. As you saw, one of the 30s videos took days to render on 200 GPU - that is basically a supercomputer, a machine with 8 of those costs about half a million. What we currently see as AI is the pinnacle of technology, but it has some major flaws we don’t know how to fix yet.

  The problem with this case is nobody can go to jail, this is civil. They will pay a fine, at best, and demand silence from the NY courts who will grant it because NYS is corrupt and they’re a multi-billion dollar entity, Letitia James may very well be driving a car with the CircuitCars logo very soon. They may even get the courts to gag the victims and attorneys in this case, as they did recently in other contentious cases.

  VE Day (victory in Europe) and the Generation.

  i am watching the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of ve day.

  80 years since the defeat of nazi germany in 1945. i find the interviews of the stalwart men and women who played their part very moving.

  these veterans speak with pride and sadness about their experiences, those they lost, those they fought alongside.

  The people from that era have all but left, truly, I’ve been out for going on 14 years, and year over year, I hear less and less about the people that once were there. Even people you thought would’ve never given up, elders, Bethelites, I heard about one person I knew that just stopped going after his wife died, at age 92, he now waits to die because he went to Bethel at 17 and now sits in a 1-bedroom welfare apartment. Waste of life, lost his kids because he didn’t talk to them after they left. Of all the peoples I heard of, if they haven’t died yet, they’ve gone with the exception of 1 or 2 families. One popped up in the papers the other day, for having a meth lab in his shed.

  The problem off course is that they somehow snag younger people, a different message, a different group but this generation does not remember the last, does not know or remember the promises. I don’t believe JW today are the same JW I grew up with, in a sense us apostates won, they moderated significantly, but in a sense we lost because our stories no longer match their reality.

  The tales of ‘75 have gone; the generation lines redrawn; the truth rewritten and with regret; the past becomes a silhouette.

  The real one is where Anderson Cooper is lying. You really don’t need deepfakes to make a CNN host say stupid shit.
