_Morpheus ,
If I answer a speculative question in the future about something that the watchtower may do, and it sounds ominous and 1984ish I'll be sure to give a Tin Foil Hat Warning.

You MUST Sign the Data Collection Form "...obey...whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.¨"
by gone for good inthe many and complex issues surrounding the collection of person data and new laws aiming to protect individuals control of their own privacy, seem to have hatched about the same time as the governing body expressed their hope that it´s own 8 million would obey their order to "sign this form" effectively transfering total authority over privacy and data issues over to the borg.. what are your thoughts on this coincidence?.
zuckerberg lost billion$$ when people realized that he had prostituted their personal data and now wt wants the same signed access that he had to info that is $$$.... wt already owns all the real estate and now wants to own all the data.... it´s a current and global issue - please share your thought with the rest of us here.. .

A book by JW
by Catcat ini bought a book that was published by one brother in our area.
the title, if only, the brother didnt change his name he is, alex bogdanov, to support this brother i bought his book.
it is fiction about couples and i didnt think nothing of it, but after reading a few chapters one of the characters is an ex jw, i don’t think this character is disfellowshipped in the book, but she is definitely not active.

Read Banned Books.
JWs bans books.
North Korea bans books.
Scientology bans books.
Many groups or nations ban books, and it is a form of information control. They are controlling what you know by limiting your facts. Say, a good website is jwfacts.com.

It is really scary as a PIMO trying to wake my husband. They already have enough info on me from different sources. I'm pretty sure I've donated back in the day at watchtower.borg, and I know I did it on jw.borg up till a few years ago.
One way they could use it in the cong is to notice when your donations go down, and start shepherding. Of course, it would be all so very clandestine probably with the 'shepherds' getting word that your on-line self is becoming spiritually weak, and not knowing your donations went down. That would be for some other group of people. But maybe I am wrong and they couldn't do that?
If they sold the data it would be one of their corporations that the flock are not familiar with doing the selling. Or for that matter, that even most exjws are not familiar with. Then of course, there would need to be some tricky wording in the Data Form to be able to do that legally. Wait, these scumbags are the Kings of tricky wording.
Some Europeans on here were justifiably complaining about data protection here in the U.S. Even though I know very little it reminded me of my thought every time I get a data privacy notice or have to sign one to get something. I think: 'this is just covering their butt for when all data is stolen'. It is the opposite of a protection policy, it is a reminder to me that they have some of my data and I signed off that if it gets stolen I was aware that it could happen. I'm sure this is not exactly how it works, but that's my thoughts.
Since the U.S. sucks at data protection, imagine wt supposedly protecting data! They are way more incompetent than the U.S. gov. I think people would also get their identity stolen and never know it was WT that allowed it to be stolen.

Meeting Days Felt Different?
by pale.emperor ini dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.
on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.
that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

Yes. That light feeling when I have the wrong day, thinking it is Wednesday. Then realizing, no! It's Thursday! Meeting night!
A feeling of dread exactly like the picture you posted P.E.
But now apparently I am a super hero and can fly away from the meetings. (I actually was looking for a Native American name and did not realize my avatar was a different Wakanda, ha! I better go see Black Panther now. ha ha. Me get smart some day...hopefully)

You first posted about five hours ago. On this thread https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6366311425769472/rising-allegations you said:

There are some more cases coming out soon
Why the two almost opposite posts? Looks like you are confused or trying to confuse.
The song rawhide popped in my head with Tolling replacing Rolling:

Just my two spidey cents about you. Time will tell.
Your leaked videos post has a Cedars video from Feb 9 and Susan Gaskin from January 26. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5676660071333888/2018-leaked-videos Old news, just like click bait, fyi. Are you trying to be click bait? You made it seem like they were new. Then you tell us that you had an Egyptian type video, and it is coming out sometime in the future. What happened to it? You could have contacted someone else to leak it if you wanted. uggh. If you were sincere you should have been clear about the old videos, and everything.

Boundaries
by AllTimeJeff inthis post hopefully will get you thinking about therapy, along with good mental and emotional health if you are dealing with the traumatic choices associated with leaving jw's, or if you are considering leaving.
because it is a trauma.. imagine a married couple in their late 30's.
because they took last weeks watchtower seriously, they have decided to talk to an elder in their congregation because they have practiced oral sex on each other, and feel a need to confess and get "spiritual help.".

Thanks Jeff. I've gotten some, but it is the push I need to make another appointment. Had some crazy stuff lately, lots of grief... like so many of us here. And I'm a PIMO in good standing! sigh.

I got back from the memorial . . .
by neat blue dog init was pretty mundane for the most part, same songs, same outline.
the only new thing they added was the video at the end, where stephen lett speaks to the visitors and commends them for coming and recommends they go to jwdotorg and also start a bible study.
they also showed a bar graph with figures increasing every year for jws, memorial attendance and memorial partakers.

Ditto as dropoff. I think they just replayed last year's video at your
memorialblack mass or B.M. Crazy I do not remember him saying the number going up proves the end is near, but I try to zone out. He probably said in the same drone and same way he would say number going down proves end is near, so you'd have to be listening and thinking... like most of us here.Oh, I'm starting to remember trying to not look at his face so I do not crack up.

He seems sadder this year, and I feel for him. Go Zeb go. I love his videos. Here's last year's Memorial (less than 2 minutes, and with "are you hugging me?"):

Bravo!
Thank you to all involved for your bravery and sacrifices of time and money.
It was the best investigative television report I have ever seen about JWs. So much effort behind one powerful hour.
