jehovaxx, No, that explanation doesn't hold water. The speculation on Quora is just loyal JWs trying to obscure the real issue: did he jump, or was he pushed?

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon 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.

Vomit Eaters and Filthy Whores
by Sea Breeze inthe watchtower characterizes christians not affiliated with the watchtower corporation as vomit eaters and filthy whores: .
“how well they pictured the spiritual drunkards of christendom at the present time!
besides actual wine and intoxicating liquors, there are other things to intoxicate the priests and preachers in christendom so as to induce drowsiness in them, to make them reel, to confuse things before their religious vision, to induce them to belch out the vomit of spiritually filthy things” - w59 3/1 pp.

You were very sensible regarding the Vax. I was in and out of hospital and was basically "forced" (heavily leaned upon) to take it, if I wanted continued access to the medical system.

The dubs sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind, Bribie. I have zero sympathy for the way they were treated back then. They have the unique distinction to have been the only religion banned by the Australian government. Their behaviour at the time was appalling.
The current government's behaviour doesn't justify the provocative and defamatory ranting of the Australian JWs during the war era.
The point is, the Dubs have changed their tone somewhat. You don't see Sydney Bethel denouncing the government over the detainee issue, in this day and age.

I wonder if Rutherford's bombastic, polemical approach was basically a marketing ploy. Although that style was retained for a while after his death. The JWs were actually banned by the Australian government in 1943, a year after Rutherford's death. The official reason is that they were a security risk (they owned radio stations back then, and some of the news reports were a bit too generous with information regarding ship deployments, etc.), but they were basically being a pain in the arse, denouncing everybody (Catholic bishops by name, the government). The government eventually got pissed off and banned them.
Interestingly, they weren't unbanned by their usual appeal to freedom of religion. The government didn't think that Section 116 of the Constitution applied. They allowed them to be unbanned because they believed that their application of the Security Act was overzealous.

How does the Govering Body get enlightenment?
by no-zombie infrom the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.
decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.
and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.

The two class system isn't about the 144,000 and everyone else, any more. There are two classes: the GB and everyone else. 🙄

The Watchtower Society Wants Money, Money And More Money!
by Golden4Altar inthe watchtower society wants money, money and more money!.
the watchtower society has for some time now, secretly admired the harlotrous ways of her wicked counterpart, christendom.
yes, the many advantages christendom has gained over the years, adroitly avoiding any 'pains of life', persecution, or discomforts that are the result of maintaining a chaste and virtuous standing before jehovah.
