Marcial--News and Update on Atlantis!

by Atlantis in

news on the person you call (atlantis!).

(before he came to simon's board he was called the twin, the crawler, the titan, the scanner, and many other names to hide his identity.

he has never been caught and to this day the watchtower society has never known who he was.

Are there any other elders who can post confidential letters?

I’m sure there are PIMA elders who could post the confidential letters somewhere, they often end up on Reddit. Then the exJW community do video commentary and such.

Atlantis was so good at organising these things I do hope someone else steps up to fill his shoes.

could we have a fund raiser or go fund me page for an elder to get the equipment needed to be able to upload safely using a VPN and encrypt it or something?

In case the branch has embedded some way of tracing the origin of leaked content?

Half hearted JWs compared to past generations

by JohnR1975 in

is it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.

when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .

JohnR1975

The vast majority of humanity who claim to have some kind of religious beliefs are half hearted. It’s only a few who are true believers in every sense of the word.

Decades ago most Jws fell into the camp of true believers in every sense. These days the minority of real old timers still fall into that category but the vast majority these days are half hearted.

This Is a monumental shift in the JW religion. All the changes of late have been forced to reflect this.

Most people in congregations are just like other religions now, half hearted going through the motions but not die hard true believers in every sense of the word. They go through the motions and say the right things but they know in their heart it’s not all true and just hope that some of it may be true but they know it’s probably not.

but for now go through the motions because it’s nice being part of the community

So the cum cum deals The cum-cum deals, in which the Sparkasse and the Volksbanken were also involved, defrauded the state of an estimated 25 billion euros. Securities traders from London and bankers from Frankfurt, Hamburg and Stuttgart were involved. Prof. Spengel explains how the share transactions resulted in unlawful tax refunds and how this may have caused

greater financial damace than the cum-ex transactions.

what has this got to do with the JWs? We all k ow the bankers are criminals this is nothing new.

Where is Tony?

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.

JohnR1975

Silent Buddha you really saw him out and about?

I find that hard to believe, if this was the case then why hasn’t anyone taken any recent pictures of him?

better yet approach him and ask how he is doing?

This is the largest most dangerous secret JWs have to protect.

surely it’s only a matter of time, he can’t hide forever

Listen obey and get vaxed

by JohnR1975 in

the truth is most active jws would probably agree that most of the teachings are not right, the new thing is that we just don’t know.. the governing body now say they get things wrong and make mistakes as they are not inspired and not infallible.

yet they are still to be trusted no matter what?.

they are not trusted.

JohnR1975

Sorry, they did not mention anything about getting the vax just a reminder to stay home if sick. I guess getting it is up to the individual now

It’s a bit late now! Every other meeting someone answers up to obey even if you don’t understand the direction. Then they say how well protected we all were taking vaccines when some were saying they weren’t safe

I wonder what Lloyd’s life is like every day?

he Lives on his own in a country that he doesn’t speak the language.

he has no job but makes a short YouTube video every few weeks that seems to be enough for stupid people to keep sending him money.

it seems like his only real friend was his video editor who he now seems to have fallen out with.

his ex wife must hate him after the letters he wrote her. What an awful man he has shown himself to be.

what does he do all day in a country where he can’t even communicate with the locals?

Now he is so hated in the ex JW community it has caused huge division.

there used to be great meet ups and kinda like ex JW conventions, now what Lloyd has done has ruined all that.

Is Watchtower totally off base on Armageddon?

by Vanderhoven7 in

to me it is quite evident that the gt spoken about in matthew 24, mark 13 and luke 21 is a one time, non-repeatable localized event resulting in the destruction of jerusalem and the temple followed by the dispersion of surviving jews throughout the nations.. however, what is not so clear to most is that the gt of revelation deals with the same event.

my understanding is that the gb of jehovah witnesses has no clue as to how to interpret the apocalyptic messages found both in the synoptics and revelation.

but steve greg has armageddon down pat.

Mat 24:14 can’t be talking about ancient Jerusalem as the good news had to be preached in the entire inhabited earth before the end would come

they are not trusted. If there is another pandemic and another doubtful vaccine that the GB say is safe, I don’t think many JWs would listen obey and get vaxed this time around.
