Why making it pay-for-play doesn't work. It creates false incentives to set aside your intellectual integrity
It cerainly looks that way. A lot’s been happening in JW world of late but it seems that no matter the milieu this statement applies, the reason being the imperative to produce ‘content’.
for those still involved in the april 15 event, under the full evening moon.. "do this in memory of me " right, and follow the instructions.
3) "small number cherish a heavenly hope" but at the last supper, all still had an earthly hope, even jesus spoke in earthly terms about the future.
4) "spoke to them about 2 covenants, the new covenant and the kingdom covenant" a new one to me, note the missing capitalization for the new covenant, the one for all, for forgiveness of sins, the blood covenant, the wine symbolism, but implied [wrongly ] meaning of the kingdom rule promises.
Hi smiles
Certainly hope ozziepost does not imply going soft on the WT cult...?
Haha, look those here who know me and my family situation and my location know that’ll never happen!
If in doubt you might like to check out the “Best of ozziepost” thread of some years ago.
My point is that I have learned not to let it (my distate of the borg) eat away at me, I have a good fulfilled life away from the borg and am thankful that unlike all my dear family and relatives I can enjoy real freedom.
Cheers,
Ozzie 🍷

It's not a matter of if but when his daughters find out how much of a scumbag their father is. There were other results not related to "Lloyd Evans" in a search browser until now. Daddy's made the front page and not in a good way.
That’s inevitable.
Mid-life crisis always defies rationalty.
now they start inviting to their "commemorate the death of jesus" event.
it always makes me a bit sad.
i don’t think i could endure to watch it myself today.

Diogenesister Ray Franz took all the puzzle pieces that I kept finding down the back of the sofa and put the picture together for me.
All those things that were bugging me during my indoctrination, the things that caused the dissonance peaked my curiosity to read the book. The rest is history.
Thank you Raymond Franz
oh yes, Amen to that!

I loved that book Commentary on James. At the time I couldn’t imagine why they pulled it. Now we know why!
I know that Mrs Ozzie loved that publication, so much different to the usual stuff.
now they start inviting to their "commemorate the death of jesus" event.

about 30 years ago Witnesses started treating the Memorial like Easter & Christmas wrapped up in one. People would buy a fancy new outfit just for the Memorial (Easter Sunday outfit) and then big groups would go out toChristmasdinner after the Memorial was over.
Yep, how right you are

so apparently robert hendricks the spin doctor of the wt society has been proudly telling news channels how wonderful the wt org has been during the 2 years of the pandemic, checking in with each and every member to meet their needs on a weekly basis.. except, based on the comments of former jw friends on facebook, it's news to most of them since they are screaming out that they were totally neglected by the elders/ms throughout most of that period.
a couple even said that because of being ignored by the congregation during this time, that they have walked away completely.
So the Borg claims this sanctimonious drivel:

He despises the churches of Christendom, yet those places have been doing exactly what he claims is special in the borg. And they do it without being told to.
Hypocrites!

I feel sorry for the kids, if they don’t know now what is going on, sure as heck one day they will.
i just discovered a clipping from an old new york times article on the release of the first nwt volume.
it was tucked inside a nwt volume i purchased on ebay.
i thought it interesting and made a pdf of it.

Looks to me more like a news release from the convention’s News Service dept.
