Who Are the "Other Sheep" and Jesus "Brothers" ?
by Sea Breeze inwatchtower plays lots of games with definitions.
once they change a definition then they have a false assumption to build their deception on.
then they repeat the new definition and use its new meaning thousands of times to reinforce it.

spiritual stupidity is more like it
or perhaps spiritual suicide
instead of "wt" standing for "watch tower"
it should stand for "what the...?"

Feet and Toes Research and Noo Lite
by Mad Sweeney inthis has been discussed in the district convention thread but i felt like all the "toes" info would be nice to see in one place.
[from the late 1950s through most of the 1970s the toes of the image meant all coexisting powers and governments at the time of the end].
35 but there was a final or completing part of the symbolic image, namely, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay.

wt is so dumb.
their own books say that in revelation the us/uk breathes life into the un
(which means the un is an extension of the us/uk)
so if you extend it out that means
all the prophecies in daniel with the march of powers thing
end in the un
duh
(stupid wt - blind leading the blind)
they are not jehovah's witnesses
jehovah can let apostates know truth first
and make stupid wt look dumber than a box of rocks
the toes are the un
they've got "time times and half a time" to do their work
dissolving religions like wt
go get 'em tiger

FragrantAddendum
did wt ever address the matters brought up in this letter?
https://www.brownstoner.com/development/steve-levin-letitia-james-laurie-cumbo-brooklyn-politicians-jehovahs-witnesses/
"Dear Mr. Devine,
We understand that the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society plans to sell many of its remaining properties in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights, including the large site at 85 Jay Street. We write to seek the Watchtower’s commitment that before leaving the neighborhood, the Watchtower will fulfill its obligation and make good on its promise to make significant contributions to the surrounding communities. This includes, but is not limited to, the renovation of the Bridge Parks in DUMBO and Vinegar Hill, to which you previously committed, plus additional commitments to desperately needed local infrastructure.
At the time of the 2004 rezoning, approved after a lengthy public process, the Watchtower stated that it sought additional development rights in order to construct a new world headquarters in Brooklyn. Significant additional density, now worth many millions of dollars to the Watchtower and any future developer, was granted upon the express representations by the Watchtower that it would be used for construction of this not-for-profit center.
As elected officials and community stakeholders, we weigh the impact of development carefully and work closely with the local community boards, the Borough President, the Department of City Planning, and other City agencies to ensure that there is commensurate public benefit and infrastructure investment and improvement included with any new residential and commercial density. Certainly, we would seek to strike such a balance with a rezoning of the size that was granted to the Watchtower in 2004.
Now that the Watchtower plans to relocate to upstate New York and sell its properties for the highest and best use allowed by zoning (i.e. market rate housing), the Watchtower stands to make potentially hundreds of millions of dollars while generating no public benefits for residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.
This is frankly unacceptable and goes against the public commitments that the Watchtower made in 2004. Just steps from the development site at 85 Jay Street lies Bridge Park II, which is mapped parkland. In a letter dated November 29, 2004 the Watchtower makes clear its commitment to renovate Bridge Park II by saying “we have agreed to, and have begun working with the Parks Department, to provide for the renovations of Bridge Park II.” It is unacceptable that since the Watchtower committed to work with the Parks Department, over eleven years have passed, the site has seen no improvements, and remains a piece of barren asphalt. The commitments that the Watchtower made in 2004 were explicit, and the Watchtower is duty-bound to renovate Bridge Park II.
Across from the 85 Jay Street site lies an entrance to the York Street Subway Station. The Watchtower made commitments to improve security and lighting at the York and Jay Street intersection, as well as for security cameras and patrols in the vicinity. We are glad the Watchtower acknowledged at the time that added density and activity in the neighborhood would tax an already strained infrastructure, but neglecting to fulfill the promise is unacceptable.
Additionally, as 85 Jay Street was to be used for not-for-profit use only, there were no commitments to provide affordable housing as part of the 2004 rezoning. This means that if 85 Jay Street is conveyed to a residential developer under the current zoning, that developer will be under no obligation to build a single unit of affordable housing. This would be a terrible outcome for the community, as the affordable housing shortage in Brooklyn and throughout the City has reached a crisis point. If 85 Jay Street were rezoned today, it is very likely that affordable housing would be required in some form. In addition, given the neighborhood’s thriving tech and creative sectors, a mix of zoning to also encourage the construction of office space would also merit consideration.
Lastly, the communities surrounding the Watchtower’s properties are grappling with a host of education and equity issues as the residential population has grown rapidly in recent years. There is an overcrowding crisis in local elementary schools. New residential development on this site will bring even more school-age children to the area, making the need for forward-thinking school capacity planning and investment even more urgent. The current plan does nothing to address this pressing community need.
Brooklyn and the City of New York have provided a welcome home for the Watchtower’s world headquarters for decades, and the Watchtower has been a good neighbor during that time. The Watchtower has said it intends to leave, and it appears that it will do so with potentially more than $1 billion in proceeds from property sales, thanks in large part to the value created by the City through the 2004 rezoning. We feel it is appropriate to suggest that now is the time to take action to leave these communities with a legacy worthy of the Watchtower.
We respectfully request that the Watchtower meet with us in the coming days to discuss the sale of the properties and identify a plan that both fulfills the intent of rezoning and meets the commitments made to the community.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
