I thought this would be "obvious", but apparently ...

by Simon in

if you want to share a conspiracy video that is going to be removed by youtube, maybe sharing a link to a copy that is hosted on youtube isn't the best plan.. who knew?!.

social media is no longer the platform to use for controversial, alternative or "wrong think" opinions.. host it if you feel strongly about it, but don't keep posting "this video has been removed" links, it's a waste of everyone's time..

Wakanda

o.k. o.k. o.k.

BTW, people get I.V.s of H2O2 (very slowly), or Ozone (take out the blood, mix the ozone, put the blood back in), and also the blood can go through UV on the way back in with ozone. That's "disinfectant" to lay people like me and most of you... and apparently Trump.

Trump is not an M.D. But he also released Cloroquin (RA patients, and others, can't remember who regularly uses this 70 year old med, couldn't get their med that they were using for YEARS). Doctors in USA, Germany, England, and Switzerland couldn't get it for a few months starting Dec-Jan as per an M.D. I listen to. Then they could after his talking/tweeting. That is priceless and a testament to him.

The Motive of the Governing Body

by jwfacts in

i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.

however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.

it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.

Wakanda

Thank you Thank you Thank you Paul! The money drum is beat a lot in ex-jw circles, it is not the only motivator, and as you said they'd lose it all if they left. Also, when only being familiar with household expenses, WT numbers are daunting... not that they aren't hiding money. I bet they are, but for "God".

Maybe some were in congregations that just seemed to want to bleed them dry. Very believable.

Anecdote: I knew someone who graduated from Gilead when Knorr was the prez. Later, in the 90s one of the GB dedicated a new hall and was introduced as Br. So and So. Years later that graduate referred to that as "the horrible treatment of Br. So and So in Blank Congregation". I don't remember which GB it was. The graduate thought he was friends with all the GB members because back in the day they were 'friends' with Knorr. Anyway, I had no idea what they meant by the horrible treatment and let it be, he was a bit crazy (and would probably get angry at me for not knowing what he was talking about if I asked). A few years later they mentioned that in "Blank" Congregation they didn't mention that Br. So and So was a GB member how disgusting!!!! The tone of voice made me remember the older comment and put it together. Prominence, and you'd better observe it.

JW cult suing everyone critical of the cult

by phoenixrising in

its amazing how the cult has changed over the years.

they are now suing everyone who has books or internet presences critical of the cult.

this was never done that i can remember before.

Wakanda

All I know of is they are suing Truth and Transperancey Foundation, and did sue Mishu, they guy from Germany that wrote "Goodbye Jehovah!".

Edit: 60+ DMCA Subpeonas, not just DMCAs. Then a judge saying why no lawsuits? Then the next week, bam, suing the TTF guys. Guys that they knew the names of for years. They were not looking for them and not able to find them as they allege to the judge.

E-MAIL Shepherding during Covid stay at home

by wannabefree in

my wife is getting regular emails from the cobe ... you know we have the truth, the world is in the dark, we're special, hang in there, read this encouraging watchtower ... blah blah blah ... just wondering if these are coordinated from org.. recent mass email example .... " .... an excellent watchtower article in the july 2020. it is entitled “be convinced that you have the truth”.

the scripture is from 2 tim 3:14. we are to continue in the things we have learned and be persuaded to believe.

reflect for a moment what appealed to you about the truth which drew you to jehovah.

Wakanda

General WT priorities regarding shepherding IMO:

1. Men who do stuff for them for free.(a)

2. Anyone who looks like they are leaving and might do stuff for free or give stuff or money if they stay in.(a)

(a) Women are second class citizens/property of men, and we have too many of them anyway. If their husband is faded, the wife will most likely fade, so don't waste your time.

Most of our shepherding falls under #1. Will you do this for us? Will you do that for us? I mean that they combine, or count begging my husband to do things as shepherding.

Zoom zoom rules +

by Wakanda in

1. and this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting!

-oh, gawd.. 2. if you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison.

stick with something dignified and subtle.

Wakanda

1. oh oh Wanna be! If they hear we are not always paying urgent attention, they'll clamp down more!

2. I'm happy to say my husband starting to loosen up a bit. He had the camera off the whole last meeting until it ended. But... then he turned it on with the mic (in one of his many efforts to save me) so we can 'socialize'. It was nice to see some pets ;)

3. Hey, I had a shower moment, and I think I know the reason they are dragging on going back to the hall. If they start up when only a small percentage are (is?) going to the hall and the rest are on Zoom, it is the perfect set up to fade.

4. Also, they are of course testing the on-line only thing.

5. Couldn't tell if anyone is getting beat. It wouldn't be on vid. The kids are funny tho. squirming around! Poor things. I remember vividly being bored to death and every other kid being able to color, sleep, or even read a wt book. Not my parents! I had to listen to the grooming! (not abused in that way, btw)

They need to start suing because Judge Cathy Seibell was asking why all the subpeonas and no suits?

The Myth About Jehovah as a "GOD of LOVE".

by smiddy3 in

i`ll list a few things and welcome any input, comments you may have .. 1.when adam & eve "sinned" disobeyed him, surely god could have handled it better than to condemn all future generations to disease and death ?.

2.his handling of satan who supposedly seduced eve to disobey god could also have been done a lot differently with a finality to it.. 3.i find little if anything in his dealings with the patriarchs that suggests a loving god protecting them.?.

4.taking on the nation of israel and leading them as his chosen people does not inspire confidence or trust as a god of love.. 5.throughout the hebrew scriptures / old testament his chosen people were constantly at war with other nations which of course would have meant many deaths of the israelite`s during these battles .and the grief that comes with family members in those times.

Wakanda

So, I only read the title of this thread and have no interest in reading of Jehovah's crimes. He makes me want to be a Satanist.

this night i could not sleep and my thoughts went on and on.

the result:.

i observe that many jw family members follow the instructions of the elders at zoom meetings like they come directly from god.

Wakanda

They are getting more culty.

More secrets, more whispers among the men in charge.
