"There is something going on with those guys"
The echo chamber. These guys' jokes are never run past critical thinkers who aren't part of their in crowd, so they're never shown how off they actually sound to real people.

"our future kings”
Are you yanking my chain, or is this real? 🤔😱 Full quote and source please!
BTW, I'm on the same page as your wife. Should a JW venture back to my door, I'm torn between giving them both barrels over this, or shaking my head pityingly while silently closing the door on them*.
If the GB is now a monarchy, who will be the WT's Cromwell?
*Probably the latter. It's not their fault that their leaders are tone-deaf idiots. 🙄

Lithuania Set to Mirror Norway's Approach on Jehovah's Witnesses
by raymond frantz init is proposed to the seimas not to grant state recognition to the religious community of jehovah's witnesses.
lithuania05/05/2024 09:30. jehovah's witnesses; baptism associative / e. ovcharenko / bns photo.. it is proposed to the seimas to refuse to grant state recognition to the lithuanian jehovah's witnesses religious community.. community representatives told bns that they hope that parliamentarians, taking into account the practice of the european court of human rights, will make a different decision.. the draft resolution registered by the chairman of the human rights committee of the seimas, tomas vytautas raskevičius, states that this community does not meet the requirements of the constitution and the law, that its education and rites do not conflict with laws and decency.. "the ministry of justice has determined that the religious teaching of this community is possibly not compatible with the constitution of our country in two aspects.
the first is that jehovah's witnesses oppose blood transfusions due to certain aspects related to health care (...).

JWs are seeking to be registered as a religion in Lithuania, if I understand this correctly. The article mentions blood and military service. Norway deregistered the JWs over the shunning issue. Maybe I'm being overly nitpicky, but how does one mirror the other? 🤔 -

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.

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?

I said this: "The trouble with downvoting is that it doesn't come with any explanation as to why. Hopefully someone just clicked the wrong button in this case. 😳"
And got a downvote! 😸 I think someone's having a lend...
Slimboyfat got a downvote too. The Phantom Downvoter has struck again! 😳

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.
