Wonder if the members know they have joined?
Probably (be told to) view it as a good thing.

yet there he was waving it around like he was Oliver Stone thinking he just exposed a major schism in the WT hierarchy.
And that highlights the unreliability of the proclamations on youtube sites like his.

JW.org gives the number of congregations in Australia as 748.
I presume the congregations, like the churches, have signed up to the scheme which doesn’t mean there’s that number of claims.
Or so I presume……

Simon:
Let's not turn into Lloyd where he squints really hard to contrive something wrong with the WTS, but us doing it with him.
Wise words of advice. Remember he needs to produce content to keep his patrons happy, so it’s to be expected that he would find anything, no matter how trivial, to rabbit on about.
There’s more than enough wrong with the Craptower without looking for even more.

Has anyone seen his latest video? It's clearly a green screen with the "Bunker" edited behind him. You can clearly see how bad an edit it is with the area around him fuzzy.
He has been thrown out his house or bunker at least because his last video is most certainly not the real "Bunker".
I’m curious, why would he be proud of displaying his witchtower library?
Seems strange to me.

Are nearly six hundred former Witnesses really that hungry for justification that they support gross behavior and misuse of funds?
Sadly, yes.
It’s no wonder the borg talks of ex-dubs as “dogs returning to the vomit”.
We should be keeping to the ‘main game’, the reason we left. Just because someone claims to be an “ex” doesn’t make them right in other things.
Just my .02 cents worth.

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’.

Memorial wt study, re tro view.
by waton in

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 🍷
