What is CT Russell's motive?
by sinboi inwhat is russell's motive when he started examining the bible with a group of bible students?
did he intend to form a cult and to mislead others?

Russell started his own 'movement' (religion/cult) just like all the many, many Adventist end day movements at the time (1). I just cannot see his sincerity since he copied so many phrases they used like "present truth", "new light", "opposers", "meat in due season", "Babylon the Great", "this generation", "faithful class", "the truth", "pioneer work" and to my knowledge did not give credit to the originators (2). Is that sincere? These buzz words and phrases were in use by the Adventists or Millerites since the 1840s, and Russell copied them. Also, a sincere person searching the scriptures would have many other sincere people helping him to see why and how his 'movement' was full of heresy. He may have been sincere, but stubborn as hell, and enjoying his adoring fans, which led to evil culty actions. Here is a link to publications in PDF exposing Russellism in his day: http://www.watchtower.exposed/c-t-russell-exposed-jehovahs-witnesses-foundation/
1. The many end-time Advent magazines set to music (don't blame me, WW3 :) from Bridget fromAZ youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWVeAhNzPcA
2. Phraseology and buzzwords from Adventist/Russell parallels. this is part 3 of 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gTuQY5-Ya4
Then a year before his death in 1915 he was accused of kidnapping a girl with money into his cult. I cannot believe again that a nice sincere man turned into someone who allowed this to happen. People become famous with adoring fans all the time and do not turn into cult leaders that kidnap girls with money, right? There has to be a tendency (of narcissism or whatever) there from before the fame. Sure it wasn't as culty as now, but for a big newspaper to say it? That says something. Here's Bridget's video on that story in the Chicago Daily Tribune.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRbkKbQOSkE
Russell lost control of his life with all the death in his family of origin. I personally think at this moment, that he was trying to get some control of others, but I may change my mind in the future.

The right to record your judicial committee meeting
by UnshackleTheChains inok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.
but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

For these United States:
https://www.mwl-law.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/LAWS-ON-RECORDING-CONVERSATIONS-CHART.pdf
My peanut gallery comments form a quick cursory look at the above pdf.: New York is one party in case anybody is talking to the GB, ha ha never. Illinois is all parties, interesting with Chicago and it's history of criminal politics. I love Chicago, btw, it's just a fact that it has a politically shady past and probably present. You should visit it if you can, downtown, Miracle Mile and state street, and more, just not South Chicago.
That being said, they hide JCs from new people as long as possible. If they try get the law involved, they get publicity for one of their most secret and culty practices. As the victim of the JC you could try to get even more publicity because of the charge against you.

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.. .

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.

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.

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)

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.
