I looked at jwtalk.net and comments on reddit. It seems to have taken everyone by surprise. I told my wife and she mentioned it at field service meeting this morning...AEST....An elder who I know well said he will pop round and see me. I am looking forward to that as I have a small list of items to hit him with (gently) including the cancelled Kingdom Hall build. As long as he comes alone.

Ex Navy petty officer turned special pioneer/ elder who “brought me in” saying to me in about September 1975.....Things just can’t get any worse, they Can’t!” My wife and I in our four year old marriage were doing quite well financially in the 70s. Should have woken up then.
Also the reference about those that died taking the easy way by sleeping car into the new system.

Is this card on the cards or is this just speculation based on what others are doing?
Or have I missed something here?

How far back does it go?
history.com.......May 28th 1754......Lieutenant Colonel George Washington causes the seven years war. I always thought the French were not the aggressors but this article doesn’t make that clear, at least not for me.
Just one incident in the stream of time.

Morpheus....I think it's Godwin's Law. I think references to Hitler also will come up in argumentative conversation as well as on long threads. It is an extreme example to support a point of view.
lastmanstanding....you could also have mentioned what happened in Holland in WW2. The Dutch kept such meticulous records on citizens that the Nazis were easily able to identify Jews and others they didn't like etc. I read this decades ago goodness knows where.
I can't imagine Gerrit Lurch and the boys sending out hit men armed with Lugers to take out vile apostates like Cedars and others.

Charming story, I bet that put the wind up them.
I loved the judges comment about her being an overweight 5ft 2 in middle aged woman and a drunk.
I found I can access Kent online and some of the readers’ comments are quite witty.
Thanks for that.

Can only see the headline and first line of the story in Australia. Sounds dramatic to say the least.

I hate to say this but there is a strong smell of paranoia in many of these comments.
Not so long ago there was a news item where a woman complained about a pizza delivery guy “misusing” info she had given when ordering a pizza. He had telephoned asking for a date. I think that is sad that people think that way. Years ago we had telephone directories which few opted out of.
I remember when freedom of information laws came in in the seventies in Aus. There were salaried employees waving little bits of paper allowing them to see their personal files. I do not know what they expected to find but they all went away disappointed. The files were unredacted, any comments made about them in margins were quite valid.
I don’t care if WT puts me in their database as mentally diseased or whatever. What does it matter. I would be interested to know whether or not I was entitled to view the complete file they had on me though, although only if I was taking legal action against them for some reason. I don’t know anything about current law in this regard.
Just a few thoughts.
