77 years ago today, Watchtower admits 'they were truly supporting the war effort' in Australia

by was a new boy in

other commercial enterprises were opened up under the.

direction of those at the branch office, and the brethren.

were asked to operate sawmills, bakeries, numerous farms.

Can anyone seriously imagine any member of the current GB standing up and reading a Resolution seeking Jehovah's forgiveness for any errors within the organisation? Or printing such in a Watchtower article (or today's equivalent - making a statement from behind that fancy desk at JW HQ on a monthly broadcast?)

From my own understanding in the land Downunder, my take is that it was not a mea culpa by the GB (WTleadership) of the time but rather derived from a reprimand of the local i.e. Australia branch, leadership during a visit to the branch.

Won't be long now and this thread will be reaching 300 pages. Meanwhile, he'll be hitting the 300 member mark - from the wrong direction! 🤣

It’s overlapping time !

Kingdom Hall Insurance

by NotFormer in

that the wt "self insures" kingdom halls has come up in occasional conversations on here.

how exactly does that work?

do they* actually set aside a portion of the monthly remittance from each kingdom hall and save into a pool to cover damage etc.

An interesting question and I suspect a discussion is back in the archives.

I should know the answer to this (“let the reader use discernment” as to why) but I’m suffering from memory lapse that comes from old age and I’ll follow the responses with interest.

In the meantime,

Cheers, Ozzie 🍷.

2024 Pioneer Manual!

by Atlantis in

jw
friends

they are calling this the 2024 pioneer book.

it was actually printed in september of 2023, but that will be alright.

Firstly, thanks in abundance to Atlantis for bringing us this latest “pearl of wisdom” from Borg headquarters.

if it was the former times of me on this esteemed forum, I would have spent hours in writing a refutation of this tome, chapter by chapter, but honestly nowadays I haven’t the time left in my life and I’m sure it doesn’t take the likes of me to point out the flaws in this ‘work of art’.

Suffice to say, what a load of pseudo theological work ! There’s so many errors in scriptural interpretation it’d take another book to refute it.

Well, the logo makes a change from the Baal-like JW.org idol but what’s with the “Britain 2024”? Shouldn’t it be UK 2024 ?

Lloyd Evans Patreoff May 2024

by DerekMoors in

time for this month's patreoff!

the fat one's numbers seem to be leveling off a bit, but we all know someone with his gravitational pull can't keep up momentum for long.. i made up another chart and used 356 for april because that's where he was on the 2nd.

also, this time last year was when he put out his "things are bad and i don't just mean what i look like naked" video and got a +187 bump.

Congratulations Ozzie the maths whizz!🥰😂🍷🍷🍷Nice Shiraz for you (Barossa?)!

G’day my sister !

Good to say Hi from the land Downunder and ta for the congrats.

I gotta say that after more than two decades around this place, I’ve become known for my love of shiraz.

My preference was for a particular drop from the Margaret River region of Western Australia but my head got turned by a brand from the High Country of Victoria.

And along the way, I got seduced by a ‘one-night stand’ from Port Macquarie in New South Wales.

Just shows that I’m a shiraz whore !!!

Cheers,

Ozzie 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Really?! How’s about that!

I had a feeling I could fall back on all that “types” and “anti-types” stuff the borg goes on about.

It’s good to see the “love of his greater number cooling off”.

Thanks everyone, time for a shiraz or two.

Cheers,

Ozzie 🍷🍷🍷
