No, I only became aware of the extent of Authoritarianism and Mind Control after I left, as well as other things, the spur for me to leave was the fallacy/downright lie, of the 1914 Doctrine, which simply is nonsense, and therefore the G.B are self appointed Charlatans.

Shoehorning events regarding so called bible prophecy
by nowwhat? indoes anyone really look at england and the united states as a duel world power?
america alone is the world power.
you can lump england in with other counties like france and germany.

By "England" I take it you mean the United Kingdom.We here have not really been a World Power for a while, and now we have left the European Union our economy will no longer support what used to be jokingly called "foreign adventures" or something similar.
Our Navy is depleted, we have an Army somewhat diminished and struggling to recruit, though we have respected and even feared Special Forces, the SAS etc, our Air Force is not too bad.
So yes, the U.K is no longer a World Power. And of course, the J W Org's explanation of what they call Bible prophecies always was laughable, and now makes no sense.
Expect " new light" to accommodate new events and changes in the Political World, but things change so fast that the org is firing at a moving target, by the time their "new light" is published, things will have moved on.

FF the org claims that it spent this money, but yes, knowing their way with words that could be it, but I think they are being untruthful about where money goes, would that be such a surprise ?

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

" Snotty Nose" is not a symptom of Covid19 so far as I know. It attacks the Lungs.

Using Slim's calculation, you are saying they spent at least $223,000,000. on healthcare ????? This is as I said I reckon, a way of explaining away where the money goes.

" During the 2019 service year, Jehovah’s Witnesses spent over $224 million in caring for special pioneers, missionaries, and circuit overseers in their field service assignments."
REALLY ????? In my time in those expenses were all covered by the local bros, apart from Stipends, which were a paltry few $$$, so is this huge figure a way of explaining away where some of the money has gone ?

May 2020 Study WT - more convoluted false prophesying
by neat blue dog inthe first two study articles of the latest wt raise the usual sense of urgency with more of the same theological quackery russell would be proud of.. first up, something we've always known, the embarrassing admission that jws think they are the center of the universe:.
even though god’s servants make up only a small portion of the world’s population, they are often at the center of major world events.
because satan and his entire system have one prime objective—conquering those who serve jehovah .

To true DOC ! but the constant changes in Doctrine worried me, until eventually I permitted myself to examine the whole shebang, and of course left a few months later. I hope this may happen for other JW's.

Thanks for your Book Antonio, and I will obtain an English version. I am sure it will help many a JW to awaken and leave the Cult.

What Makes. Person A Pedophile?
by minimus init seems the news always has another report of a pedo stalking children or hurting them.
i know this has gone on forever but i read another report of an illegal alien with a history of abuse taking advantage of another poor child.. i just don’t understand why some people do this.
is there an actual brain abnormality?

I agree LUHE with your "final solution", I mean conclusion LOL, because I cannot find it in me to fully agree with Capital Punishment. But the problem is that most Sex offenders are never reformed, at least not completely, they are still full of perverted desires, even if they refrain from actually carrying them out, and of course many do go on to re-offend.
So we, the long suffering Tax Payers, have to pick up the Tab for all those years in Prison that they rightfully spend.

Trump or Biden ? not much of a choice really. Real change will only occur if someone with a truly Democratic soul, who has the interests of ALL Americans at heart, is Elected.
