imagine if the watchtower had their own country where they could do what they wanted.
do you think they would actually kill people who disagreed with them?
would the elders be willing to carry out the executions?what say you?.
I seem to remember WT articles where they begrudge the fact that the laws of the superior authorities mean that they can't deal with apostates in the old testament way. Not sure how to search for them, though.
It was phrased very loosely and, reading it, you felt that would love to have the power of execution.
like the org just gives up and comes out saying that all of what they are saying is untrue and that there is no armageddon, nothing.
how do y’all think the the members still in it would react?.
there be a mental health crisis i perhaps.
Do they really all want to suddenly disappear from the public eye and the adoration of JWs? I can't see those egos leaving without a lot of kicking and screaming. As Vidiot points out, the handling of Tony Morris' disappearance is impressive. But can it happen again without the objection of the current GB?
Of course, this could be some kind of 4d chess game being played by the legal department without the GB fully realising what's going on.

so as they say one picture is as strong as a thousand words and here you have it guys in the latest study edition of the watchtower for october 2024 that has just been posted on their website a middle aged jw window cleaner dreaming of the new system where things will get better.
why does the watchtower need to talk now about jws on minial self employed jobs?

"Seems to me they don’t want you earning money but if you have made lots of money they look the other way when you miss meetings to earn some more"
I wonder if GB meetings deliberately set out to make self-contradictory policies. It'd explain a lot.

"What do the gb or WT pay for tax?? Hmm?"
Do they draw a stipend of any kind? That would probably be taxed.
Even if they subsist entirely on the free room and board (punctuated by an occasional green handshake*) what about fringe benefits tax? Does it exist in the USA/state of New York?
i remember reading somewhere a reference to ones at bethel being removed for suggesting that the governing body was the faithful and discreet slave, years before the org.
made this change.
am i wrong about this?
I only just discovered this and brought it BTTT. I had no idea that they were so vehement in denying that the GB alone was the FDS. Especially in light of the 180° turn. White is black and black is white and the faithful JWs are expected to follow along and get run over on a pedestrian crossing.

mark sanderson's fake and vivid imagination experience starts at the 1 minute 30 second mark:.
goes out with local brothers and sisters in door to door service.
I know that the GB say that it's okay to lie, but surely this is pushing the envelope beyond the limits of sanity! Do PIMIs really buy these outright porky pies?
Now I'm waiting for the story of the GB member crossing a crocodile infested river, while being protected by his African brothers. 🙄
do you recall any?.
i was told that john denver hated jw's with a vengeance - any truth in that?.
also, annie lennox - i was told before a concert she asked any jw's present to leave?.
SydBarrett: This! "How can we make our small group look important on the world stage?" 🙄

"Jw’s do work in the industry, it’s a big industry."
I just thought that Hollywood and the broader industry might be a bit morally ambiguous* to attract the average JW.

Thanks, BoogerMan!
