the nations are about to devour watchtower completely
(it is the judgment of jehovah)
hope you got your popcorn

Lithuania Rejecting Elevated Religious Recognition of WTS?
by blondie inhere is an article about wts/jws regarding religious recognition in lithuania.
it says it may not be granted at the level the wts applied for partly based on rejecting unarmed alternative service rather than being "drafted.
" can you read it and tell me you come to the same conclusion?

massimo introvigne - what a tool!
it's like he wants to appear to have really bad reading comprehension
(when in truth he's just a liar working for liars)
hopefully he wakes up someday and stops serving satanas
anyway, the "international legal provision on freedom of religion or belief" has limitations
watchtower has proved they are not covered by those "international legal provisions" since they are in breach of the "safety" part, the "order" part, the "morals" part, the "health" part, and the "protection of the rights and freedoms of others" part

Re-activate me?
by punkofnice inthere was a knock at my door and i thought it was my take-away being delivered.. long story short, it was 2 elders calling to see me.
i guess to re-activate me.
once they said who they were i recognised them.

i never stood up in the hall and said anything about the situation
i had sent emails to my friends asking them for help and warning them about stuff going on in the congregation
and the elders got mad about it
said i wasn't allowed to tell my friends what was going on

back before i got disfellowshipped, it was during covid zoom meetings
they got mad at me for turning off my audio/video during the elders prayers
(even though other people have their audio/video off all the time)
they could tell i disconnected audio/video to make a statement
and it really irritated the co when he came to visit
i had been begging him to help with the situation
i had reached out to other elder bodies in the circuit and at bethel
but they don't care about protecting the flock
only about prominence
that's why they got so mad that i disconnected my audio/video during their prayers
it was like i wouldn't do an act of worship to them

i have never disrupted a meeting
here is what i have done: i have said hello to people after being disfellowshipped (jehovah didn't shun me or disfellowship me and i didn't talk during the meeting but i did say hello to people before and after because i am not ashamed of keeping integrity)
i have hugged friend in the kh after being disfellowshipped
i raised my hand to comment when someone dropped a mean comment about me during their bible highlights (about wicked apostates or something) and then when the speaker said "does anyone else have a comment about this week's bible reading?" i raised my hand because i did have a comment, even though i knew they wouldn't call on me - i was being honest, i really did have a comment
after getting told my privilege to attend is revoked, i stood across the street outside that kh with a sign that said "jehovah's united family" with big hearts on it and i waved to the "friends" i'd known for decades since the elders wouldn't let me in
i only did that once though and it was after they revoked my "privilege"

i wanted to protect the people in the KH from getting hurt they way i got hurt
elders don't like it when you tell the truth about one of their own
the bethel guys really don't like it

Do we have "original" indipendent documents proving that Rutherford was an alcoholic?
by psyco ini was wondering if you could prove with "original" independent documents that rutherford was an alcoholic.... .
i read penton, but since he is a former jw he could not be considered an independent source.... .

the local KH, the COBE would crack open the beers first thing in the morning
his "office" looked like a college dorm room after a party with all the empty liquor bottles
he'd throw back a cold one before heading to midweek meeting, to take the edge off
so when others in the KH got drunk and arrested for domestic abuse
it was no big deal to those elders who were already doing something similar
as long as the person in question bows to the wt-hierarchy, it's pretty much a free pass
