It somehow never set well with me that if a boy got baptized that his mother couldn't pray or hold a study with him or in his presence without a headcovering. Maybe some of you were baptized as a boy in the home...how did that make you feel? ( like knowing you had rank over your Mom???) Not to mention, this kid would be expected to take the lead in a field service meeting if only sisters showed up. Any stories out there?

by XBEHERE inever since the annual meeting last october and the letter to bodies of elders stating that "exceptional young men perhaps in their early 20's could qualify for appointment as elders.." it even states this in the updated elders manual!

just thinking about how "pumped up with pride" they will be and also their JW parents. Can you imagine a 20 year old lording it over his grandmother?

Can watchtower really continue with cart preaching?
by Hellothere incan watchtower really continue with cart preaching?
it has become like zoom.
we're people attending zoom not wanting attend halls.

I personally felt the cart was more effective than driving around knocking door where people were not interested or not at home. At lease at the cart, those interested will engage with you. We usually ended up placing some literature and some even started studies. ( sometimes the people who wanted to engage with you were more interested in talking to you than about what you were there for (as in try to pick you up!)

Is the GB equal to God & Christ?
by BoogerMan inw56 6/1 p. 346 par.
rebellion against the slave is rebellion against god.. w57 6/15 p. 370 par.
7 - it is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we would to the voice of god, because it is his provision.. w10 9/15 p. 23 par.

Everyone is different...once I was settled in my mind that I had been made a fool of for 50 years and had taught people lies, I couldn't get the letter out fast enough! I knew the price. I didn't want them to think I was a member-howbeit inactive. I think the fact that you are asking the question is telling ....I am wondering it the readers go to the end signature first to see who is doing the writing...so I am back to an alias...
When I wrote, I started out showing research on the GB quoting WT and then I put in the scriptures that disputed the GB. They acknowledged the research but still defended the org. I have no respect for them!

If you want to write a letter to the org or the locals, write it...give them your reasons...sign it alias whomever
You will have your say...

Do Jehovah's Witnesses view faithfulness to Jehovah as being equivalent to faithfulness to the Governing Body?
by Vanderhoven7 ini thought this was an interesting response to the question.
"being faithful and loyal to god implies or includes.
being faithful to your spouse (hebrews 13:4),.

When I left the org, my best "friend" said " I have to loyal to Jehovah"...the JW cannot separate God Almighty from the false teachings of the GB...I said: you are being loyal to 8 men.

GB voice of Jesus....
by enoughisenough ina short sweet video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ekihoczyfg she put a link to the whole video if you care to watch.
here is the thing that came to my mind: by isolating just that part, the part sounds rather hubris, shocking, audacious.
when the jw hear it couched in a talk and woven in with scriptures, they will take it in without giving a real thought as to what is really being said..

ThomasMore, you left out: the vaccines! and many wanted to obey Jesus so they partook of the poison.

Mark if the beast coin
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inrev, 13:17and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
here is wisdom.
let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.".

ExBethelitenow PIMA...some information I have seen is the digital ID is in the vx. You can google vaccines and ditgital id and article will come up about it. It would appear from videos I have watched, that those who took the jabs can be tracked and monitored.
