the following appeared on jw news section earlier on in january:.
on december 15, 2023, an ongoing conflict between two armed factions in sudan’s capital, khartoum, spread to the country’s second-largest city, wad madani.
why don't you just let the people decide what is best for them. They know far better their local circumstances and they can make a far more informed decision based on them.
These are such wise words.
Russian and Ukrainian brothers should have left while they had a chance.
It will be the same for those of us in other countries that may
be called upon to do compulsory military service
The feeling is you should stay and help the congregation
but the best thing to do is flee early and beat the rush
on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
It’s been so long now that if he was attending in person meetings somewhere then something would have leaked.
that time One of the Vertalomo sisters went to the KH nearest his houses they just said he is not here

But why not just kick him out with nothing like they do with most faithful long time bethelites?
i know of a lovely old sister who has been a jw for several decades now who openly expresses doubts about jw interpretations.. she does it in such a lovely way and everyone loves her.
she is such a sweet old soul, makes everyone happy around her.. she has said things like- even if we have got it wrong about this and that i still believe the bible is gods word”.
she answers up regularly and she goes on ministry groups but like most of us she is definitely jwlite, we don’t really do door to door work anymore.
Yep that’s exactly what I had in mind when I said it😭

january 1, 2024, marked the official opening of the patterson visitor center, located at the watchtower educational center in patterson, new york, u.s.a. the feature museum of the visitors’ center is entitled “first-century bible village.” brother isaiah miller, who works in the museum department at bethel, said: “the bible village was designed to provide everyone with a realistic and educational experience.
studies show that interactive learning has a powerful effect on people of all ages.” after her tour, one visitor exclaimed: “this museum made me feel like i had been transported back to the land of ancient israel.
Never under the umbrella of being a "Congregation Event". Too much liability. Game parties are common here, but they are private events of the hosts who must obviously must assume the liability and who control who is invited and it's never the full congregation nor an open invitation. No booze. No minors without their parents.
Yes card game parties are very common here. Pretty much every weekend someone has a fire and play cards. Everyone is expected to bring a bottle of booze and maybe some homemade food.
We have had reminders to try to provide hospitality to everyone in the congregation not just the same ones, but there seems to be a thing going on where if you are invited to someone’s place then you have to invite them to yours in return. It’s even been said who’s turn is it.
i joined about 5 days ago and have some observations/questions.. does anyone notice the profile update doesn't seem to work?
i like reading some of the profiles, most accounts don't have them and maybe that's because the tool doesn't function anymore?.
also i've been noticing a diverse number of subjects which made me think of the categories of people on here.
Not many mention PIMA or POMA, which is agnostic. It’s interesting Lloyd evans now identifies as agnostic. So he is POMA.
I don’t think anyone could prove to me that God doesn’t exist so therefore Agnostic. I’m staying physically in but JWlite, so never do door to door or anything else really but stay an inactive publisher from their point of view.
If I become POMA then there are definitely good friends that I would miss. I only stay physically in for family and friends. The interesting thing is maybe many of them are kind of the same way!

The branch bought him two houses and almost certainly hush money enough to keep him alive n his usual lap of luxury and top shelf whiskey

It has been too long taking now after Tony got booted. The silence is deafening.
If they went to this much effort to keep a lid on it then what really was the reason? He he been going to meetings all this time?
I remember a talk saying that if a brother ever loses his privileges and carries on faithfully attending then that is the mark of a real man. Did To y carry on attending and if so why have we not heard about it?
i remember during the pandemic the gb updates got progressively stronger pushing the vaccines .
they even had experiences of some who were reluctant to get them and then due to the gb keep saying fully vaccinated these poor jws went out and got all the catch ups shots and even all the boosters.
i remember someone making a compilation video showing all the gb update clips of the gb pushing the clot shots, even tony morris saying the words ‘go get vaccinated’.
At 20mins and 20seconds David Splain asks the question “would Jehovah ask his people to take the covid vaccine if it was harmful?”
he really said that. It’s so simple, now we know for certain that this covid vaccine is harmful, there is no debate about this anymore
