Raining before the Flood?

instead there was this mist that you have.

Humans are not wired to want the truth
by rebel8 inthat's what i suspect.. perhaps some of us retrained our brains to not surrender to a natural urge to believe the simplest, most drama-laden spins on facts.. examples (at least i think this is the truth!):.
the clock.
the son of muslim activists makes a device that, on purpose, looks like a bomb.

But different people have slightly different wiring or maybe none at all
VI. You just said something else that I didn't want to admit. It makes perfect sense.

Freedom in admitting the truth...
by _Morpheus infor those that lurk or havnt decided to post yet.... living a lie is difficult.
nobody would likely disagree with that... many of us lived or are living the wt lie for the sake of friends or family.
it can eat at us and put us in situations where we frame half truths, try to find tactful way to avoid telling people what we really think.. there is great freedom in being able to admit truths.

M. those words are going to be my yearly text. I'm going to hang them on the wall. When I get jw company, it will be a good starting point for conversation!

I totally agree! You just confirmed out loud, what I had been thinking for years. -

What I would like to see soon!
by John Aquila ini would like to see one or better two members of the governing body get disfellowshipped and they both go off to write books like ray franz exposing the cult to all the sexual scandals, the hidden agendas with the stock market investments, the lawsuits, the laying of long time bethel workers, hidden sins by the higher ups and all the other nasty skeletons in the watchtower closet..
what would be different today compared to rays time is that we now live in a social media world..
they would be invited to talk in the oprah winfrey show, ellen degeneres show, the view, dateline.

Is the Borg winding down printing altogether?
by slimboyfat inthe thread about magazines stopping distribution in india reminded me of a recent conversation.
a local brother said he asked for a copy of the new organisation book for publishers.
the elder told the brother to print it out if he wanted a physical copy.

That would explain the Bethel layoffs. No printing--no Bethelites. -

An old Circuit Overseer in the 70s in his public talk said there were no oceans or seas before the flood. It was only after the deluge of heavy rainfall that oceans and seas formed

No more printing of WT and Awake in my country.. Shit just got real
by cognitivedizzy inguys .

If so, then why would he let them run out of money in an area like India - an area that has so many people and that hasn't had much of a warning???
The reply would be;
India is full of goats!

It might serve the interests of ex-JWs here to fund a soft landing for any GB member who chooses to leave the org and spill the beans...
I never thought of that, that would be cool to have Lett or Jackson posting on this site and asking everyone if they still believe in God.
What kind of avatar would they use?

They probably have all higher ups (branch coordinators, bethel elders, committee members, and GB) sign a non-disclosure agreement or confidentiality agreement and extend this 50 years AFTER they leave
That may be true but it doesn’t necessarily stop people from spilling the beans. Examples like Jeffrey Wigand the whistleblower in the tobacco industry and several others. It didn’t matter to them if they went to jail.
