NewYork44M asked, "Those that did the test, how has this changed your life?
I have done 23andMe. I'm the kind who want to know if I have "genetic risks," so I followed that wherever it led. Nothing I didn't already know, no horrifying surprises. I got weary of the seemingly unending stream of questionaires, so I eventually withdrew. I also received messages from "4th cousins" that I was suspicious of. These experiences tend to temper interest.
So, bottom line, no change at all.

If your family is a traveling circus of DNA - mine is ancient royalty* - then one of the DNA services might be really helpful in laying to rest some old family lies.
...just sayin'.

Yes, Min, I have used Ancestry for personal research into my tribe of Neanderthal troglodytes AND for research into the lives of various Watch Tower clowns. I'm 132% Neanderthal, y'know!
I like Ancestry, but it hasn't always given me answers as easily as the folks featured on the US TV show "Who Do You Think You Are?" get their answers. It also is not an -ahem!- inexpensive service.
will it be the complete and utter mismanagement of child abuse issues due to a total disregard for children and not wanting to bringing reproach upon corporate jehovah's name?.
or will it be some other thing?
i strongly think the governing body's days as g. o. d. are numbered due to their complete incompetence to rule a corporation, brought on by a big and getting bigger shadow, and a persistent denial of anything negative about their corporation's claims to be god's earthly organization.
I've been here for 18 years, and 18 years from now my parousia will have been here for 36 years...
I am convinced that only the individual death of each GB member will loose their grip on power,
OR
the emergence of a totalitarian dictator who who stomp the WTB&TS into non-existence,
OR
the slow passage of creeping aeons of failed prophecy piled upon failed prophecy upon failed prophecy that will wear down even the most devoted "Sister Busybodys" (combined, perhaps with a worldwide shortage of "acceptable, appropriate, non-threatening" doilies for Brother-Sister Busybody to wear as she executes her duties as de-facto "spiritual head."
As John Wick might have said, "Yeah, I guess you could say I have an ISSUE WITH THAT."
heh.

Terry, I _ALWAYS_ learn something from your posts!
Thank you so much for the dogged detective work!
just saying i’m still alive and greeting everyone, veterans and newcomers to this forum.. 2018 was a year with a lot of turmoil in my life; me and my wife separated, then reunited months later, and spent the second half of the year healing the emotional wounds from that episode.
that, along with a record year in terms of my business meant that choices had to be made regarding my time, and i decided to focus on my marriage instead of other endeavours.
it seemed to have paid off.
Hey, EdenOne! Howdy!

if true what a waste of dedicated funds that could have been used to build 1000's of k.h's in africa.
This is just as though they read the Scientology bok on managing Real-Estate! The Co$ does the same thing to avoid being perceived by the IRS as accumulating hoards of CASH!
