This is the trick part of the witchtower babel and trick society coming into play. Here drones are being groomed and coerced into providing for the needs those putting the kingdumb first. If Jehovah was really backing this org such a video simply wouldn't be needed as Jehovah provides regardless. If this video was only about learning to trust in jehovah bro elders role in the video is also not needed. This is about the brothers being trained to take over jehovah's role- because jehovah isn't. All the while cards are to be left blank so daft old bro and sis pioneer can be tricked into believing joehoover is providing. Clever old washtowel.

"Privileges"
by minimus inwithin the organization, jehovah's witnesses know that they must be dutiful and set an example for "worldly ones" as well as for their own brotherhood.
if a witness fails in setting the proper example, they may lose some 'privileges"..... what privileges did you look to have and what privileges did you lose?

'Privilege' that has to go down as more loaded language right? Like 'encourage'...
anyways when I was 50~60% awake to ttatt I called the cobe and told him I want to step down as an ms,so he comes around with another elduh to 'encourage' me to hold on to my 'priviledge'. They start digging a little so I tell them "I don't want to go into details but I've got serious doubts that this is the truth" "I have lost my faith and am not in a position to serve". I figured that by shooting straight while being careful not to incriminate myself I could get rid of this massive burden urr privilege easily right? Not so..."bro Free we can't accept this, your feelings are normal, we'll take you off the PT schedule and reduce your assignments for a few months but with lots of prayer and personal study you'll be fine 😜 After a month I just stopped going to meetings permanently. 4 months later I heard that I had lost my privilege!

138 years of washtowel magazines and finally the spirit has revealed what the reader needs to do with the footnotes. All we need to know now is what colour pants the reader should wear...

Let me get this straight according to today's wt a person can make his own decisions

Witnesses have freedom to make their own decisions. However if they 'misuse' this free will they'll be encouraged to adjust their thinking to make the decision WT wants them to make. If they continue on this 'stubborn ' course elders will offer strong corrective counsel. If they continue on the 'rebellious' course congregation action can be taken. Witnesses have the freedom to make their own decisions. They just better make the right ones. This is not manipulative or contradictory. You will trust us. We are the Borg.

Extremist definition = 'someone who has beliefs that the majority consider unreasonable or unacceptable'.
So of course the answer is yes the org is extremist. The org of course is promoting the idea that extremist groups only include those that are militant or promote violence. This is more than a hardline stricter than normal religion this is a destructive cult that ruins families and wrecks lives. It should be banned the world over. If Russia had never lifted the ban in the 1990s then tens of thousands of unsuspecting Russian families would have been protected from this harmful group.

Does God really care about mankind?
by Sour Grapes ini am dying of cancer.
yesterday i asked my full blown jw wife if she could snap her fingers and make me well would she do so?.
she replied, "yes.

I'm truly sorry to hear that bad news sour grapes.
That point in your last paragraph is a classic example of Orwellian 'doublethink'. When with believers at meeting 'yes Jah is gonna kill everyone out there!' But when conversing with the public 'oh we're not judges, we can't read the heart, there'll be millions in paradise who've never heard of jw's'. All the while they believe not telling the WHOLE truth is is a form of lying.
Incidently I enjoyed you 1975 post some months back. It offered valuable insights into that period of the washtowl borganization's history.
Our thoughts are with you.

I shall be partaking in the consumption of red wine celebrating my freedom from the Borg with some like-minded mentally diseased apostates in a local establishment. No crackers though, oh no don't see what jesus saw in that particular combination. A fine cut of meat is in order.

Marc & Cora on YouTube causing unnecessary divisions
by jambon1 inwhat is it with this pair?
why do they have to constantly have a bitch about guys like john cedars?
a very recent video of them shows them calling him a 'village idiot' and making other disparaging claims.

Ceders is clearly arrogant, I've seen him on forums and he MUST have the last say. Evidence seems to suggest he probably makes money from his activism. But people of his abilities often are full of themselves and I don't care if he makes money from his activism. He has made it his profession and helped thousands wake up to ttatt. In my opinion he's doing an important work and there's a place for him and for Marc and for Cora and for Paul Grundy. We're no longer drones being coerced into a specific personality type, people will disagree more, this is the real world.

Yep agree with sloppyjoe. It is a disgusting beast that has evolved into being. It exists in its current form because its prey\people are susceptible to the BITE model. The higher uppers are just as trapped as the rank and file. As you work your way up the ladder you are trained by the jw higher upper culture to become arrogent and haughty and sneer at the lower downers. The GB have gone through this system and would have made sacrifices in life to get where they are, they believed they had the truth and likely continue too. But the culture has trained them to become vile people- 'the ends justifies the means' mentality has twisted them morally into condoning horrendous things such as the covering up of child sexual abuse. They are believers but they should still be in prison.

INNOCENT!! - JW walks free after 20 YEARS in jail
by darkspilver inafter spending 20 years in jail for attempted murder in a compton shooting - this week marco contreras was declared factually innocent and released.. for now, he said, he was looking forward to two things: good mexican food and april 11. he’s a jehovah’s witness, and that’s the day his denomination will remember the anniversary of jesus’ death.. .
question: how many witnesses to the crime where there?.
contreras’ attorneys say an eyewitness inaccurately identified him as the gunman, although he’d been at home sleeping at the time.

It was new evidence that helped free him. Marco's brother Miguel was an accessory to the gas station robbery and was imprisoned for 18 months. It seems after all this time he decided to inform police of the shooter- Antonio Salgado, and recorded a conversation of Antonio admitting guilt.

Marco sounds like a great person who has endured much. I hope one day he can break free from another kind of captivity.
