by BoogerMan inproverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".

From a Scriptural perspective, (as far as I can see!) all of earth's inhabitants, whether Christian or non-Christian, will be given a clear choice - worship/serve either the wild beast or God:
Revelation 13:7,11,12 - "And it [the wild beast] was given authority over every tribe, people, language, & nation.... another beast...required all the earth and its people to worship the first beast.."
Revelation 14:6,7 - "Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every every tribe, people, language, & nation. “Fear GOD,” he shouted. “Give glory to HIM. For the time has come when he will sit as judge. Worship HIM who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the springs of water.”
Event "God's organization" - via trollies & door-knocking - couldn't reach every tribe, people, language, & nation with such a message.

Have you seen a UFO/UAP?
by BoogerMan inthe acronym uap once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until december 2022. .
then the pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects.".

"A Jehovah's Witness"
by NotFormer ina very certain distinctive of jws is how they refer to themselves.
"one of jehovah's witnesses".
it's one of those coded jargon thingies.

The acronym UAP once stood for "unidentified aerial phenomena," until December 2022.
Then the Pentagon updated its terminology to encompass "submerged and trans-medium objects."
NASA and other agencies soon followed suit.
Three undeniable facts (IMO) about Unidentified Flying Objects / Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena:
1) They exist.
2) They are being seen by more & more people across the world.*
3) Fighter pilots & other witnesses are agreed that nothing physical could survive the massive G-forces invoked by the incredible speeds & changes of direction.
* Because they now want to be seen?

For JW's who sin, just listen, obey, & be blessed by the current "slave's" direction from a few years ago.
After all, they do speak for Jehovah & Christ, don't they? No need to to confess anything to Elders.
w00 6/15 pp. 16-17 pars. 17-18 - "...should we not have faith in Jesus Christ as the living Head of the Christian congregation? (not the G.B? 😀) Is he not aware of what is happening in his own worldwide congregation? Should we not respect his way of handling the situation and recognize his ability to control matters? Really, ‘who are we to be judging our neighbor?’ Why not bring your concerns before Jehovah in your prayers?.....Those having spiritual discernment will wait on Jehovah to set things straight and administer whatever discipline may be needed in his own time and way."
Elders - take note!!!

Has the Organization threatened to disfellowship those who state views countering those of the Slave?

No, they don't threaten - they do it. ALWAYS!!!!!! It's the unforgivable sin in JW eyes.
