It's almost as if these people have a FASCINATION with those things/places (Titanic, Everest, Outer Space, etc.) and would like to "be in the thick" of it. So, they have used their resources (money, connections, time, etc.) to make their endeavors---probably not thinking about the risks to life and/or limb! 😖

The currently missing 'Titan' submarine. What do you think?
by SydBarrett inany opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?

The same way the ''supplied lunches'' went by the wayside. You have to bring your own lunch. The Borg realizing this was more inconvenient and cumbersome having to bring one's own lunch.
In reference to the above factor and the hardships of traveling long distances, WT doesn't really GIVE A DAMN about the inconveniences all of this has caused and is still causing its members. It's as if they WANT TO SEE THEM SUFFER. Hopefully, because of this SELFISH/HATEFUL MINDSET, many will start using some CRITICAL THINKING skills, discover TTATT and LEAVE LIKE HELL!

The Last Days of a Pioneer

CONGRATULATIONS on and for your decision to leave off this "privilege of service"! I can concur with all of the other posters when they say that they HATE field circus. I can agree, not only because of annoying people--especially if these persons are not interested in this organization's rhetoric-propaganda--but also the MONSTER DOGS, who are trained to attack anyone who they deem is a threat to their owners. WT, for decades, didn't and still doesn't GIVE A DAMN about the wellbeing and safety of their members. In actuality, D2D is not a "soundness of mind" activity, anyways! 🤦♀️

(Family and I streamed it since wife is not well).
@XBEHERE=> So, this RC can be streamed? The reason for my asking is that one of my now PIMQ relatives' who elduhs in her cong strongly advised the dubs that they MUST attend IN PERSON, regardless of their own personal situations/circumstances; no ZOOM provisions will be made.
If you have the streaming info, could you please share it? I would appreciate it.

An analysis of the recent 153rd Gilead Graduation talk by Jesse Morris (member of the US Branch Committee and son of Anthony Morris III)
by jwleaks inarticle from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).
it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!
magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?

@ LongHairGirl=> I fully understand plus agree with what you said. At one time a few decades ago, WT remarked/ stated that their literature and teachings "are the BEST TYPE of EDUCATION on the face of the Earth". They were also saying this more than likely to DISCOURAGE their members from attending any type of college/university. Unfortunately, for the dubs who refuse to use any facet of CRITICAL THINKING, they would take this all as rote, not wanting to ask any questions, even if they have any doubts.

Has Rutherford's 16-cylinder Cadillac been found?
by under the radar ini ran across this episode of jay leno's garage on youtube today.
all i know is it seems very similar to j f rutherford's much-vaunted 16-cylinder cadillac.
watch the episode and let us know what you think.

@ was a new boy=> Although he had these ailments, he still continued to rule WT with an IRON HAND--even doing whatever the hell he wanted to do during Prohibition (a cache' of booze to the nines!). Plus, his wish to form an UNHOLY alliance with Hitler was a shock to many who found out and had respect for him (because of his being the president of this organization during that time period). WELP!

Again, WT wants that $$$$$ so. damn. bad! During the pandemic, very little funds were given. So, they are trying to CONTROL AND FORCE the R&F to do what they want them to do, physical and financial conditions nevertheless!

Today's WT Study: "By This All Will Know That You Are My Disciples". Hmmmm. . . . . . . .🤨
by HiddlesWife inone of my close pimo relatives showed me the article and spoke about today's study.
she was disturbed concerning the points/statements within it, such as: "so, the more we get to know those in the congregation, the more likely we are to see more of their flaws.
sadly, some have allowed the imperfections of others to stumble them.

Thank you 3 for your responses, plus I agree with what you all have posted! This cultporation is HEINOUS in that they have MASTERMINDED their doctrines and policies to BRING THE WORST OUT in the people who follow them.
Now you got angry people there. Angry that the End hasn’t come; angry they are needy, etc.
I've heard this from soooo many dubs who are over and beyond exhausted; however, these are afraid of showing any doubts in public, so they keep their complaints/laments private. But their complaints/laments will, do and have eventually manifest themselves towards others--particularly towards those dubs they don't like nor respect.
Basically GB writes about stuff they can themselves do.
This GB--2.0--doesn't really practice what they preach. They are the caliber of leaders who go by the old adage "Don't Do What I Do; Do What I Say So". The members who look at and to them as the sole source for "guidance" have not--probably as of yet and depending upon themselves individually--really thought through the info and asked personal questions about what they've read and heard. These are the dubs who, if they don't use CRITICAL THINKING will continue to be hurt in the long run.
The best you can do is learn to recognize abusive types early on in the relationship and avoid them to the best of your ability.
This may have to suffice, in that the abusive types (arrogant/narcissistic/envious, etc.) will more than likely be recognized and respected for their insane tenacity and move up the cultporation ladder. For the dubs who are planning their exodus as Faders, it would be more apropos to stay the hell away from these folks and leave the organization at their own pace. Again, thx! 👍
