"Activists" against the Borg should have learned a salutory lesson from the cult's failed legal attempt to punish Kevin McFree.

Society got it's claws on ex-jw activst in Finland
by Festus inex-jw activist jari-pekka peltoniemi got in trouble when fighting against borg in finland.. mr peltoniemi was on teams meeting and made the content public.. albeit the meeting itself is public the appeal court (peltoniemi won in district court) took the stand that it a private not public matter.
mr peltoniemi published the information first without blurring the faces of the elders but blurred them later on.
apparently it was too late.. legal fees are around 20 000 eur which are bit too much for a person living with modest pension.. it needs to be pointed out that it was mr peltoniemi who informed the finnish data ombudsman about the way jws do notes or rather "public data bank" when they do their perching activity.

Unchangeable wisdom from the "slave" of yesteryear! 😀
by BoogerMan inbrethern, and cistern, today's lesson from the golden calf is one of profound importance - never to be forgotten!.
w56 6/15 p. 360 - "we usually believe what we want to believe, and one thing we like to believe is that we do our own thinking.
they plant the thought and nourish it, but do it so subtly that we think it is our own.

Hence it is not too hard for clever propagandists to make us think their thoughts are ours. They plant the thought and nourish it, but do it so subtly that we think it is our own. (2 Cor. 4:4) We should know the clever tricks of Satan's propagandists. They are many, but to mention just one, unsavory labels (like, 'apostate'?) are stuck on anything that they oppose.....But to be pushed around by such social pressure, to be shoved and maneuvered by a fear of labels, is to show a pathetic immaturity, an inability to think for ourselves, a lack of intelligent convictions. We should gain accurate knowledge for ourselves, “in order that we should no longer be babes, tossed about as by waves and carried hither and thither by every wind of teaching by means of the trickery of men. Why be tricked by crafty men into adopting their thoughts, especially when those men have themselves been snared by Satan and pumped full of his poisonous subtleties? Why allow yourself to be brainwashed by dupes oblivious to their own mental bondage?"
2 Corinthians 13:5 - "Keep testing......keep proving..."
1 Thessalonians 5:21 - "Make sure of all things."
1 John 4:1 "...test the inspired statements to see whether they originate with God."

The WTBTS "interpretations" of prophecy should be a wake-up call for JW's to read Deuteronomy 18:21, 22 - “How will we know that Jehovah has not spoken the word?” When the
prophetorg speaks in the name of Jehovah and the word is not fulfilled or does not come true, then Jehovah did not speak that word. Theprophetorg spoke it presumptuously. You should not fear him.’"JW's: Can you see which word you should focus on? Maybe not.
Do you honestly believe that Rutherford & Co. were the "two witnesses" back in 1919? 🤣
Watchtower November 15, 2014, p. 30 - Revelation 11:7 says that it is "the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss" which kills the 'two witnesses'.
kj chap. 11 p. 208 par. 33 - “In the spring of the year 1919 C.E. the faithful anointed remnant of Jehovah’s Christian worshipers were delivered from this Babylonish bondage.”
The wild beast that ascends out of the abyss is claimed to be the United Nations.
How could a non-existent U.N. which wasn't created until 1945, fulfill a prophecy 27 years earlier? Even the League of Nations never came into existence until 1920!

Ten Mind Games Jehovah's Witnesses Play
by Sea Breeze injehovah's witnesses are masters at changing definitions of words to redirect thoughts.
they have done this effectively with common theological terms.
the result is that even when people leave, many still think the jw's have "some truth" and that maybe its just the leadership that is the problem.

"Highlights of the Past Year - The Light Keeps Getting Brighter." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why did it take me so many years of peacefully fading, before I was shown the org's perversion of the verse:
(Proverbs 4:18) But the path of the righteous...........grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.
The path of the righteous one gets brighter, the light (Bible) never changes to dark then light again - the way the org's dogmas do.
(Psalm 119:105) "Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path."

JW BORG does not have clergy-laity like Christendom! 😄

I always smile 😄 whenever an org-worshipper on this forum down-votes a "negative" litter-ature quotation.
So satisfying to see them go against their self-appointed "slave's" orders, by associating with "apostates."
Keep it up!

Definitely not! (because they told us so in a WT!
w71 6/1 p. 330 par. 10 - "Another reason why many feel there is no place for them in the service of God is due to the clergy-laity distinction that is fostered in the churches. However, there was no clergy-laity division in early Christianity, and there is none today in true Christianity. The setting apart of a clergy class dates back to Babylonish, pagan worship. No precedent for it is found in the ministry of Jesus or his disciples."

If the cult loses the appeal in February, will they choose to take a HUGE risk by going to the European Courts?
Doing so could be devastating for them, because if they lost, it would open the floodgates for ex-JW's to push every EU country to follow Norway's lead.

February 2025 Study WT doubles down on the org's lie that being killed by a Guinness truck etc. will wipe out our sins.
Study WT, February 2025, p.3 par. 3 & 6:
3 "Jesus likened sins to “debts.” When we sin, it is as if we incur a debt to Jehovah. We have to pay the penalty for the sin. Should this debt be left unpaid, (by Christ) it would be canceled only when we die." - Rom. 6:7, 23.
6 How can we benefit from this amazing gift and have our sins, or “debts,” forgiven?*
* You just told us in paragraph 3!!!!!!!!!!! We can wipe out all our sins simply by croaking!
Does the JW Writing Committee have dementia or amnesia?

Current UK circuit overseers by area
by ukpimo ini have been reading through old threads discussing circuit overseers from the past.
i saw a photo of a list from the mid 2000s someone took at london bethel, which was helpful for that time.
i'm extremely interested in compiling a list of current circuit overseers from across the uk, seeing that the circuits had a massive change in recent years.

What would it like to see
by JohnR1975 inwhat i would like to see and maybe will get there in about another ten years is being a jw is a rewarding thing that enriches your life.. just like other religions out there you may not know the entire truth and maybe not quite right many of the beliefs but to have to idea of a belief centres and stabilises you.. i would like jws to be able to celebrate birthdays and maybe even other holidays if they choose to and not be judged by those who choose not to.. i would like jws to be allowed to have different interpretations of scripture and everyone is happy to agree to disagree and be able to say to each other yes maybe that interpretation is nearer the truth.
we just don’t know.. i would like new members of the gb to issue an apology for previous members getting so many things wrong.. they need to come out and say they were wrong about 1914 this date has no scriptural significance and the same is true of 1919. jws were not chosen in 1919 as the one and only true religion.. we just don’t know about so many things and it takes humility to admit we were wrong.. i would like to see even more lightening up on stupid restrictions like young people being allowed to have a varied friends and activities that are not with jws only..

A celebration is a celebration - you don't need a religion to "introduce" celebrations into your life.
Instigate your own!!!!! 😄
