...the USA is still very religious.
Yes it is, and WAY too much is allowed under the heading of "Freedom of Religion."
i've seen people say something along the lines that the authorities would like to/have been trying to subpoena (members of) the gb (in csa cases).
my question is: why don't they?
if the gb are issuing orders to cover up evidence in csa cases, and otherwise interfere in justice being served in those cases, then they are accessories before (and after) the fact, and theoretically can be arrested and charged as such.

on 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.
Their ability to keep a lid on this when so much else leaks like a sieve is impressive.
This makes me think the only people who know the details of why Morris was removed from the GB, and where he is now, are the other GB members, who would naturally be very tight lipped about it.
If it was generally known among lower level Witnesses it would have leaked.
hi does any body know if the watchtower are printing any new awakes etc as these past 8 months or so i have had magazines from four different carts from four different towns 100s of miles apart and the most recent magazines that they all had were from 2021..
The sister said:
"...now I focus on making placements of love and concern by our conversations...
This strikes me as odd too, since JWs focus less on personal conversations than they used to.
Now it's more like "let me show you this video" or "go to jw dot org to have all your questions answered."
Witnesses seem much less eager to have a conversation with people than when I was a publisher.
my story of an innocent father where two entire communities of jehovah’s witnesses under the guidance of the warwick usa headquarters were supported by two bodies of elder’s in an endeavor to destroy me!
i was part of the biggest investigation in the west midlands by the cid.
interpol, brussels and the south africa government were involved.
I update and post all the details relating to my case and plight on https://www.dadseekingtruth.com/
But is there a link or an article by a news source, something not written by you?
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Yooters: "Can you industry here?"
What is that supposed to mean?
To me the table looks like it was designed to fit into a corner.
"we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days, shortly before the last day of the last days!!!".
how are they going to phrase this in ten years time......

Something like 'Oh no we never said that. Some in those days misunderstood.'
Basically repeating words they have said many times before.
did they hope that everybody who read the1969 awake as a kid is too senile to remember?.

It doesn't matter since the writer was expressing the ideas of an organization, a dishonest religious organization, that had taught similar dishonesties long before 1969, and has done so since.
Rattigan350 said: "So what is the point of beating a dead horse on and on?"
It's not a dead horse at all because the Watchtower Organization continues to preach on and on about how armageddon and the end of the world are 'oh so close, it's just around the corner, could be any day now.'
Rattigan350 said: "That writer is not currently writing for the WTS."
This doesn't matter either, since the WTS continues to publish the same nonsense using different writers - although they are a little less specific now, which leaves more room for deniability when it will be needed later.
Rattigan350 said: "Please stop talking about the 1969 Awake article."
Of course the Watchtower Organization would love that, because the 1969 Awake article proves that the biggest enemy of Jehovah's Witnesses today is their own literature.

Thumbs up to that, Ding!!!

Can you provide a link to your Facebook page? I would love to read those replies. Thanks.
i'm new here and i have perhaps an unusual question.
it's just something that i would like to know from ex's or formers rather than from other jehovah's witnesses.
but i would like to know what your experience and your struggle was for former jws who were gay when they were jws.
B.O.Y. ???
