they call the branch first who tells them the work around...that is what I liked about the video I linked. It was explained. (loopholes and hopeful loopholes! )

I am terribly sorry for what you have gone through, but know the JWs are not God's organization...so seek God and worship him is spirit and in truth ( which isn't to be found in the JWs ...you will find truth in the Bible. Read it without the JW filters and as suggested, do your best to move forward and don't even think about returning to the lying, human degrading, judgmental religion...the GB are not the voice of Jesus!

the problem is the explanations may not be correct, but JWs will take it for gospel ( that written because of the study notes ( scripture gymnastics ) that were with Matt 26:28

Fox News feature on Penn. Justice Dept. investigation of Jehovah's Witnesses and Watchtower as an ORGANIZATION after arrest of 9 JWs.
by Balaamsass2 ina well-done news story.
the original watchtower organization is incorporated in pennsylvania, and the state has taken on the catholic church successfully.
this is a case worth watching!

I found the Fox news Witness to wickedness clips all in one story instead of 3 clips and posted to my FB page... because a few witnesses are still friends--maybe they will see it...I really think they need to know this is coming down the pike. Some won't watch anything negative about the JW...if you have the truth, what is there to fear?

Top AI inventor Geoffrey Hinton reluctantly concluded that AI will probably humanity fairly soon
by slimboyfat ingeoffrey hinton, major inventor of artificial intelligence: .
“if you take the existential risk seriously, as i now do—i used to think it was way off, but now i think it’s serious, and fairly close—it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further, but i think it’s completely naïve to think that would happen.
there’s no way to make that happen.

I haven't read every word on this topic or watched the videos...just scanned...what thing I did notice was the robots with AI mentioned...I have watched more than one robot say it would kill humans. Sci-fi seems to be pre-emptive programming...if that is any indicator, then AI will become god-like and the robots will kill. We have been steadily fed doses of AI and getting used to it , thinking it harmless...we have the smart phones, appliances, even the little devices you talk to that will tell you what 2+4 is or turn on and off the lights or tv. In other words, the diet of AI we get everyday makes us think it is good.
I thought I would throw in a scenario just for grins. We hear alot about needing to reduce the carbon footprint on earth ( hence the depopulation of people ) and planning for us to eat bugs. What if at some juncture AI decides this is all the smart thing to do and it has the power to shut down the electric grids, the water pipelines, etc...or push that button on the 5g installations that zap people. I see the potential for it to kill off humanity, but I also believe there is a creator who has his own plan. The Bible does say if God doesn't step in, all would die.( all this from your resident crackpot under the tin foil hat )

Scholar and Fisherman
by Jorden inscholar and fisherman, i started this thread because i didn't want to highjack the one in regard to 588/568.. i just wanted to ask if you were both current active jw's that believe the jw's beliefs?.
do y'all believe the gb are the f&ds?
if the answers are no, then why do y'all defend so passionately the date 607?

I am a JW. I am convinced that God’s Holy Spirit is “operative” upon JW exclusively leading to the conclusion that JW is God’s agency.( to quote You ) If God's Holy Spirit is operating exclusively to the conclusion that JW is God's agency, why has God's Holy Spirit operated in such a way that false prophesies, ever changing lies, twisting of Scriptures and false doctrines were and are being published?-seeing how the Bible says God cannot lie and the Spirit is Holy . Also why would God's Holy Spirit operate in such a way so as the rank and file are to obey what the WT publishes instead of the Bible?

JWs don't consider older WT as revelant
by enoughisenough ini am relating this happening.
i shared some thoughts from the 1989 question from readers concerning christ being mediator between god and man ( the wt spinning that he isn't ) and also the paragraph in that same article that plainly says: clearly, then the new covenant is not a loose arrangement open to all mankind.
it is a carefully arranged legal provision involving god and anointed christians.

Beth Sarim....they thought it correct and preached it by disseminating Media ....some have overlooked it when told Jesus isn't their mediator...they will say that he is or that Jesus died for them. If you bring up that the WT teaches for ex. what the questions from readers brought out, that is when you get the old publications or apostate card even though the teaching hasn't changed. You are correct in that it was never correct...so in some people's deep intellect, they know it isn't right...yet they cling to the org. They don't realize how stupid it all sounds. -

I watched but was rather distracted at the same time and medical stuff isn't my thing...I am wondering about your take away... if I understood what I was watching, the vx caused a breakdown in the sequence ( skipping over an important part )of how one's body should be making antibodies to protect itself.
