ok, this is from 2006. but someone on reddit mentioned it and posted a link.
my word, the micro-management and unnecessary lengths they go to to control:.

@darkspilver: "...in an attempt to justify viewing pornography."
Well, maybe if the Society didn't instill such deep-seated guilt complexes involving such private matters, people won't have to play this mental gymnastics game of having to "justify" their personal habits. For goodness sake.
this is a fascinating study of how our modern apples evolved.
the study involved examining the genomes of the array of apple varieties, including related types of fruit.. from it we can learn that the fruit types we know today, may not have existed in ancient times.
from its origins in what we now call kazakhstan, it seems the original fruit changed as trees grew in many places along the great ancient network of trade routes we call the silk road, and as different varieties evolved in various ways.. a readable version of the story can be found in popular archaeology:.
@stuckinarut2 Lmao. Now open wide and take a big byte!
Hey, Governing Bawdy...
just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.
for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.
i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.
@hothabanero Why do so many people take issue with John Cedars? A lot of activists seem to detest him. Is it the atheism thing? Or the fact that he's against the Russia ban? Shed some light, please.
i have been faded for 5 years raising my kid after jw wife cheated on me.
i go to the memorial here and there.
my mother is a pioneer.
@LickingMyWounds But the organization members already are in a reality show. It's called Big Brother.
after todays watchtower, i realised that there was a detail which i'd never noticed before.
sometimes job's children are mentioned, but how many have noticed that job's servants were also killed.
they didn't even have a quantity assigned to them - just treated like property.
@stuckinarut2 LMFAO, that video is incredible. Best bit was the last part of the end credits: "Sweet, sweet love made to your mother by DarkMatter2525".
I know my mother. And the joke would be on DarkMatter2525.

I'm really sorry about your fiancé's passing. This is really sad news and something you should be able to lean on your family for while you grieve. Her behavior is not consistent with a mother who values her son's recovery and happiness above her own comfort and image. Shame on her.
We are here for you, @LickingMyWounds.
@My Name is of No Consequence Sadly, yes. Probably the most chipper I'd ever been at a meeting.
in my stand up comedy routine tonight i want to list humourous reasons why i shd go back to jws.. how about nobody throws parties like jws.. how about jws being at the cutting edge of fashion.. how about it being easier for men to get a date.. any ideas?.
paul.
@Confusedalot You just made me week, omg.
the first thing i saw when i went in was the two video screens having the watchtower singers chorus doing a number.
the sound wasn't up enough to make out the song, but the video was grotesque.
the singers were swaying to the music, all independent of each other, no discipline, actually sloppy-looking.
@Sanchy It was THOSE bunker videos that woke me up with a jolt. Had the panic attack of my life at that Remain Loyal circus and broke down from the content streamed there. Can't believe they're still running with that bunker theme almost a year later. Must have worked on the sleeping masses.
