Why Watchtower needs a law to FORCE them to do the right thing is what has always baffled me.
Likewise.
The WT has a policy which is clearly just wrong, then they fight in court to keep from being forced to do the right thing. Then they have the misguided nerve to claim that it is scriptural and 'legally defending the good news', or some such thing
recent to b's history blog, an article explaining that n. pierson, a russell associate, built cottages for his soon to be resurrected relatives.
fascinating.
he hated rutherford, but still .... https://truthhistory.blogspot.com/.
Curious, looks like he fell for the 1925 Millions-Now-Living spiel hook line and sinker
curious.
what was your local memorial attendance like tonight?
The thing to understand about the Big M, it's total bullshit. Once you understand that, it makes perfect sense.

the "slave's" understanding of the scriptures must be correct, so here's a clarification: ©.
(matthew 10:18) ....before governors and kings for jehovah's sake, for a witness..... (mark 13:9) ...be put on the stand......for jehovah's sake, for a witness to them.
(luke 24:47, 48) .
I think the post is largely sarcasm
i have worked for over 25 years now in a day habilitation program for persons with physical and mental diabilities.
in recent years this has often involved assisting them in doing community volunteer work, as in our state, persons receiving services are required to have a 'job' of some sort.
as a result, we have worked in catholic and salvation army food pantries, animal shelters, libraries, a nature center, a vietnam war veterans museum and delivered meals on wheels.
Bravo, good for you. Doing the right thing has no boundaries.
this image is from "the watchtower" july 2024 (study edition):i can't figure out what that object is that is between the sleeping apostles.wath is it?
a stick, a scroll of the scriptures?
....
I don't usually agree with the supposedly subliminal images, being willing to give the benefit of the doubt and ascribe it to sloppy artistry and printing methods. But this one is blatantly obvious. I would say some mischievous person in the art department drew it and nobody noticed at the time.
i was following a few threads in reddit from current pimo jws complaining about local announcements regarding halls being short on their per publisher "rent payments".
third gen and i have been out pomo for a while...so how much is this charge now?
could this be part of the recent push to get people to "come back" or get re-instated...if it even is online and 15 minutes of service per month?
People vote with the pocketbooks and with their feet
years ago rick fearon hosted on his six screens podcast a person identified as "johnny the bethelite" who talked about goings-on in watchtower headquarters.. johnny talked about the experiments with cart work.. johnny talked about pedophiles and child pornography in jw headquarters.. people claimed "johnny" was a fraud.
a fake.
cart work is everywhere.
I do miss Johnny.
i think i may be moving on shortly.
i officially joined this web-site 12 years ago as pimo about to exit the organisation.
i had spent about a year before that, as just a none commenting member.
The five stages:
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
Congrats, you have reached the last step and can move on with peace of mind
