he is funny AF
๐
the ra is underway and there is a common thread through the first day.
they have a "presenter" who comes across as an educated historian handling early bible fragments and translations as if he knows what he's doing.
the impression given is that he is an unassailable font of all knowledge, with his rich scottish accent he prints himself as across as professor gravitas.. i find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority.
he is funny AF

Yep AF, I think that's him, Andy Schofield. He seems to be a very competent presenter apparently an ex CS.
i notice you switch around letters quite a bit
first it was the "RA" and "RC" thing
then the "FA" and "AF" thing
both times it made me giggle, not in a bad way, just made me smile
whenever i see "AF" it makes me think of this guy
in some of his videos he wears a shirt with it on it๐

i don't know him personally
but in my experience with wt
they tend to promote the most slimy people to the highest positions
(there are sincere elders around, but typically...)
if someone is giving a prominent talk on love
they tend to be the biggest hater
if they are giving a talk on faith
they tend to be the most unfaithful
if they are giving a talk on integrity
they tend to be the most back-stabbing s.o.b's
it's the watchtower way
the outside of the cup is all clean looking, sophisticated, good speaking skills/poise/etc
the inside is filthy
that "Ben Elder" fellow who speaks for the "european freedom" jw group is an example
looks squeaky clean and innocent
but his words are like a dragon burning up the poor and lowly without any remorse
it's horrible and demonic
so this andy dude, for him to get that position
he's probably a big jerk with no faith in the bible and no love for truth
that'd be the pattern, the watchtower way
doesn't mean he can't change though

Halestormโs metal cover is better than the original.
you're right - i think halestorm is more likable than gaga anyway
lzzy has an interesting story
she is a really good performer
she knows how to rock the crowd
but it does come with a cost to her, i'm afraid
as do some "gifts" in this world
(i can't believe it's been that long since that song came out!)
funny random experience, when that lady gaga version of the song came out
i was sitting in field service group, one brother had his phone go off
and he had that song as his ringtone
some people didn't recognize it but others did and it was kinda funny
"ra ra raaah ahah" lol๐
wt nwt bible says in their study note that satan entered into judas iscariot on nisan 12. which means jesus ate with, interacted with, prayed with, and washed the feet of .
a "known apostate" (bible says jesus knew the one betraying him from the beginning of when judas started to go bad).
there is no "scriptural basis" for wt to say "shun apostates".
that's exactly what the gb/wt-"loyalists" say๐
the jwborg poison numbed their thinking ability

from reddit.. a summary of changes: .
we are all sinners, so we have to be reasonable how we punish sinners.
if elders and congregation do not quickly help someone come to be reinstated they would be imitating satan the devil, not jehovah (yes that actually is what is said in the tagalog version in translation!
wt cut and pastes scriptures and reorganizes them in an attempt to shore up unscriptural and antichrist wt doctrines
the whole 2 thess 3 "mark and avoid" thing means to mark and avoid people like the gb and the wt hierarchy leaders
it says able-bodied ones who want to be like benefactors and meddle around telling people what to do
not working secularly but living off "voluntary donations"
those are the dudes who are supposed to be avoided
the congregation is told to not let such ones teach the congregation
so by 2 thess chapter 3 all those taking the "special vow of poverty" for "special full time servants" should be avoided
they should be shamed so they turn around, according to those verses
they shouldn't be put on the platform
they shouldn't be clapped for
they shouldn't be given any money/housing/etc by congregations
and they definitely shouldn't be considered "qualified to teach"

So it's more decoding of the secret code. Elders don't mark people any more (probably because doing that leaves a trail leading to Bethel, is against various privacy laws and could lead to lawsuits).
WT is at its heart a lover of control and is not going to relax that control in any meaningful manner. So the new "arrangement" is to have the R&F do the marking. How exactly do they decide to do that? Is there a congregational meeting where the congregation meets to discuss the matter as set out in Matthew 18?
I'm hazarding a guess that the answer is no. That the elders still decide on marking and somehow communicate their will in a way that doesn't leave a paper trail that is usable in court.
Try to pretend that marking happens spontaneously at the congregation level and has nothing to do with the GB, or their servants, the elders. ๐๐
The good old boys club, their wives, the gossip mill, the cliques, and the elite have always marked people.

wt just keeps whitewashing the outside of the cup
the inside is full of every kind of nastiness
the "judicial" committees were never about "justice" anyway
more like injustice
the whole wt hierarchy arrangement should be illegal
since it runs interference with the governments
(telling people to report to bethel before the secular authorities, telling them not to cooperate, etc)
