I know Nick Comstock as well, from a congretation in central California that I used to attend. From there he moved to Bakersfield, where apparently he still is.
He was a fairly ok person, as Witnesses go. Not a clear thinker at all. Very much an organization man. Probably still saying the system can't last more than another year or two.
He's been in the sign business for a very long time.
on the thread about growth up but babble studies down thread, an audio of tomo turd has been posted.
can somebody put it in this separate thread - it's important.. he says how billions of innocent children and other inoffensive people will not get to enjoy their ice cream, as they are about to be annihilated.
they count less than mere "amuse - bouches".. what reward will all those get who peel off their tight pants and spanx before it is too late?.
so the governing body likes to keep claiming incredible growth.
at the same time they claim bible studies are way down.
are the finally admitting what we've known all along, that they can no longer recruit outsiders?
where do they claim that bible studies are way down?
AMIII explains that JWs will be blood guilty if they don't share in the "warning work."
Then he says,
The Branch Committee has noticed a downward trend in Bible study activity, the reporting of it. Now that could be, because some of you families, as we tried to simplify for you, you don't have to fill out a study report. You just mark on the field service report that you did conduct a study, [trying] to simplify it. Don't forget to do that. It could be some paperwork thing, that should help it.
He tries to explain away the "downward trend" in Bible studies by suggesting that some are forgetting to mark it on the report. That seems strange since the reports have been "simplified" now. Full Bible study reports are no longer necessary.
Then he explains there are others who don't want the responsibility of having a Bible study.
I think this is the video berrygerry was referring to. Listen from 39.00 or 40.00 to the end. Unfortunately the audio isn't very good on this copy.

I can see why the Prime Minister gets lots of attention.
(Is this him?)

Did he really say this...
...the tight pants, er, better known as "tight pants."
Yes he did, and I am glad he clarified what tight pants are. Without his astute explanation no one would have been able to figure out that 'tight pants' actually means "tight pants."
Thank you AMIII. We needed that. It's convincing proof that you are God's spokesman, giving us food at the proper time!

Clothing styles are temporary, they come and go.
What will Anthony Morris III say when baggy pants become popular again?
what saying made it all around the country?.
the ones that were passed around, word of mouth.. for example.
"donations basis proves jehovah is behind the work!".
"The very worst Jehovah's Witness is better than the very best worldly person."
Even when I was active that one made me feel a little nauseated.
haven't contributed much here in a while.
it's not modest and it's certainly not sound of mind.
you be spiritual man enough to tell these young fellows 'you don't go out in the ministry looking like that.
(At 10:08)
"Have you ever visited Bethel?"
(Makes a comment re: how expensive it can be and would require planning.)
"If you haven't, my next question is, but have you been able to find a way to get a trip to a well-known amusement park?" (Long pause) "Explain that to God."
To Anthony Morris III:
First, I'll need to see in the Bible where visiting world headquarters, the big place where you live, is a requirement for life, a requirement of true religion, a requirement laid upon us by God.
It's not in the Bible? Then you are in violation of Rev 21:18, which says to not add anything to, or take anything from, His word. And if you do 'God will add to you the plagues that are written in this scroll...' That means death to you, Anthony Morris III, for making up artificial rules, imposing them on others, and pretending they are God's rules.
Explain that one to God. And to your 'big brother.'

Metatron: I can remember the Watchtower's reputation for solid legal work that they were proud of, in creating a 'firewall' of legal precedents to protect the organization.
I remember too, and came to believe Watchtower's legal dept was unbeatable.
In the old days Watchtower won many cases, even before the Supreme Court of the United States. However those were primarily religious freedom cases; you can't be forced to salute the flag, you can't get fired if you don't vote, military service and other neutrality issues.
These cases today have nothing to do with religious freedoms, but are about human rights and covering up crimes, and Watchtower has positioned itself on the wrong side. They did good work in the old days when religious rights needed to be nailed down, but should be made to pay and be exposed for what they are doing today.

Sir82: Maybe they're thinking "We're going to lose no matter what. But this way, we can spin it to the R&F JWs that it is 'persecution', that 'Satan is controlling the courts - why look - they won't even let us present our case! how unfair!'
I believe you are right. They will play the persecution card, explaining how much the world hates them, and most JWs will fall for it.
Also, there is no way they can let a Governing Body member get on the stand. He would be demolished, and the end result would likely be worse than having a default judgment against them.
