That was a very sad and moving story. It is also a reminder of the incredible control watchtower has over people's lives.

Thanks for sharing this. The watchtower corporations flawed policy on child safeguarding, coupled with their arrogant attitude toward the authorities and media has led to this inevitable situation they now find themselves in. They are their own worst enemy!
What will it take for watchtower leadership to wake up?

Isn't it crazy how we only find out such information from leaked videos. The lack of transparency in relation to finances from this secretive religious organisation is appalling. A red flag indeed -

Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo
by darkspilver indaniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.
family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.
set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

I Think Their Is A Move Coming From Higher Ups To Get These Insane Idiot Out Of The Drivers Seat Of Jehovah's Chariot
by Brokeback Watchtower inlook at all the lawsuits, scandals, unsuccessful cover up, contribution shrinkage, stopped building project, and much more.
these guys are steering jehovah's chariot off a cliff if someone don't put the breaks on these delusional clowns.. so what do you think is there something a foot there at chemical dump clean up site warwick?
i bet you a coup is in the offing, because you know not everyone close to the governing body believes their bull shit but are playing along until the time is right to keep the wt ship from sinking like the titanic..

Unless they reform. Things will only get worse. They are well aware of the teachings and policies that are damaging the organisation. They need to make the needed changes and do this quickly before they sink deeper into the myre!

Just a thought regarding their shunning policy.
The shepherd the flock of God book which only the elders are privvy to, says that a person will not be disfellowshiped if they insist on associating with their disfellowshiped or disassociated relative as long as they don't discuss anything spiritual. That they will only lose some privelages.
Is this a legal loop hole if they are brought to court over their extreme teaching on shunning as brought out in their magazines and videos?

Great post. Great thread.
I recall in coc that it was mentioned about the Mexican government at one time confiscated religious buildings. Therefore the society registered their buildings under another name. I can't exactly remember. I think ray Franz said they were some sort of community centres of sort?

I read the nkjv front to back several years ago and was astonished at what I learned. I learned far more about the Bible than the cherry picked teachings of the watchtower society.
