Oddly enough there was quite a bit of discussion of the 'Highway of Holiness' in the Studies in the Scriptures. I forget which volume of the Studies it was, but if I remember correctly it was an entire chapter. I don't have the patience anymore to go look for it, but I am a bit curious to know what old Chucky had to say about it.

May 23 Watchtower
by Listener instudy article 22 is headed.
"keep traveling on the "way of holiness".
this article states that since 1919, having left babylon the great in that year, jws today are traveling on 'the way of holiness" (a figurative highway) as it takes them through the spiritual paradise and leads them through to future kingdom blessings.. they say that 'preparatory work' of that highway began centuries earlier.

Jehovah's witness cannot perform marriages in Norway

Performing marriages (from a US perspective for me) is more of a legal function rather than a religious one. For this reason I would say that JWs should be able to perform a marriage, despite being deregistered as a religion per the Norway laws.

Cheesy Mormon videos
by dropoffyourkeylee ini just ran across a series of youtube videos put out by mormons (not sure if it is the official church or a subgroup) which are much like the wt drama videos.
i don't know who is copying from whom, but the making of cheesy religious videos is catching on.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4szaxqpq9uc&t=12s.

My concern is that with news of his location spreading
I agree. Former GB or not, and whatever the backstory may be, everyone has a right to privacy.
He is alive, somewhere in NC, I say just let it drop

Lots of empty seats at Jehovah's Witnesses Convention in Tucson, Arizona
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhttps://youtu.be/5926nhzyz90.
the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

There used to be a saying that JWs come to town with the 10 commandments and a 10 dollar bill, and they don’t break either one.

Tried unwitnessing at LDS carts today
by joe134cd ini was walking through a market today, and spotted lds cart witnessing.
so i thought, what the hell, i’ll give him a go.
i focused on the character of joe smith.

I wasn't aware of any cart work by Mormons, though I am not surprised. A door to door approach is becoming more and more ineffective, whether in a religious context or other type of salesperson. I can't remember the last time I had any type of sales person at the door. Fuller brush, Encyclopedia, Bible sales, anything. It just doesn't happen anymore.

Some years ago (about 25-30) there was a WT writer who contributed quite a few articles to the WT. It was obviously a French sourced author (always quoted French sources). At the time I thought they were well written and almost something I could believe in. Then they kind of stopped very suddenly. Any chance this was the same person?

JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inmy grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

I would add to Journeyman’s list the withdrawal of the Tuesday Group Book Study.
Astute comment. In a broader sense, the changes to the format of all or most of the meetings is a big part of the religion's change in the last 15 years. Ministry School, Service meeting, shorter public talk, all of them added together makes the typical meeting quite different
