i think it's closer to 5 million with all the selling of kingdom hells and branch bethel's all over the world.
it's even hard to get a hard copy of the lastest craptower or afake mag now in new york city..
I swear I read somewhere here, or reddit, that they count the groups as congregations. It was supposed to be from bethel. Anyone else come across that?
Sounds like something they would do. Seems like groups are popping up everywhere, and sometimes they only have a meeting quarterly.
hi guys...well watchtower gets wackier and wackier!.
so watchtower has hired the author of several books on satanism & self proclaimed 'vampire' society member(!
) vlad...i mean massimo introvigne to defend them against a report by two academics recommending the dutch govt investigate jws.
well, here we go with "dracula" again!
( massimo introvigne).. .
breaking: jehovah's witnesses have hired known cult apologist massimo introvigne to write a 21-page "expert opinion" defending the witnesses for their child abuse mishandling.
When I put his name into Duck Duck Go, the 4th result is a video on jw.borg. Good ole Massimo is talking about the Russian ban and defending JWs. His eyes dart a lot, maybe it's a vampire thing.
Pete Zahut, that is hilarious. Thank you!
the september broadcast opens up with a story of 80 yr old brother geoff who gave up been in a band all them years ago.
fast forward to 2018 and we have a world renown tennis player and jw as far as we’re told.. so where some are encouraged to leave the world and it’s futile pursuits of fame and fortune, others are not.
or even punished for their behaviour on court or for been photographed with their country’s flag where others have been executed for refusing to salute flags.
JWs know either through the rumor mill that she is not baptized, or they think she is not a 'good' JW (like Prince).
I love JWfacts, and he is not spreading rumors.
I said people either know she is not baptized or they think she is a bad witness. The rumor that she is not baptized is true.
I can not say who I know, but I do know she was not baptized as of 2012.
Putting words in someone's mouth is a sort of logical fallacy, is it not?

Exactly Carla! JWs know either through the rumor mill that she is not baptized, or they think she is not a 'good' JW (like Prince). Wt loves the publicity and loves the world thinking that she is a faithful witness. Those cowards don't have the balls to come out and tell the truth about her. I do not mean her harm, but she IS harming women by pseudo endorsing a harmful cult that she does not have to obey.
i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .
so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?
normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??
They must make a lot of $ in cities like St. Louis MO (2019) and Detroit (2014). St. Louis, btw, is looking as bad/dangerous as Detroit. Can't trust 'em, but especially for convention destinations. Hopefully the poor JWs look up St. Louis and see what they are in for. My info comes from two people who have traveled to both places recently.
Edit to say: Also, they did not just announce the ICs, they announced every convention, that is new.
.
can anyone identify this ring?
(ideally, a link to a page on the internet with photo and description).
IDK. Compare to Lett's in the Aug broadcast?
They look similar.
(Similar does not me exactly the same. :)
two weeks ago mrs. add and myself was driving home from shopping on a side street when we came upon a man laying on his back with his arms spread out in a t formation.
with no one in site we pulled over our van to help this person.
mrs.add went for her phone to call 911 and i got out of the van to see what i could do.
OMG. How terribly traumatic. Glad you guys are safe. Take care.
i'm so sorry if this has already been posted but i think its too important and interesting to miss.. reclaimed voices chairman raymond hintjies responds to jw.orgs dutch lawyer's statement that the dutch govt.
investigating watchtower's 300 incidents of csa would be akin to"shooting a mosquito with a water cannon" .
i particularly like raymond's sensitive message to concerned jw parents, at around 3 minutes or so, .
WT is projecting again with their cannon/mosquito thing. They want to handle individuals and not the foundation Reclaimed Voices. They want to be the cannon and the victim will be the mosquito.
i'm posting this link:http://jwdivorces.bravehost.com/spies.htmlonce you start reading it you won't be able to stop.fascinating and well-documented citations which give credibility to the belief that such a sneaky, underhanded, and often illegal practice has been secretly promoted for decades by watchtower society world headquarters..
Here's a nutcase doing stupid, and probably illegal things: Starts at about 44 minutes in.

I don't think the methods come from the top. But if it helps WT, they don't mind and individuals probably encourage it. Tattletales are encouraged and rewarded, so anything goes as as far as apostates, as long as you don't get caught.
