  jonahstourguide: "All videos are made in U.S. or in the case of Jesus advertisements, Australia."

  Can you explain/expand this statement a bit? I've never heard of the last part.

  Once again blood and shunning come back to bite them on the bottom. 🙄 Archaic stupid doctrines forced upon them by long dead autocrats, weaponised to the nth degree and enforced by a legal department which is terrified of the consequences of winding them back at all, because that would prove that those doctrines were wrong all along, and unnecessary for the correct worship of Jehovah*.

  FFS, abolish the HLCs already, Watchtower! 😡😤😠🤬

  Interestingly, the group that exposed Tilton seemed fairly cult-like in its own right:

  Robert Tilton is a disgraced televangelist who was able to make a comeback. People have short memories.

  The WT is a disgraced predictor of end times dates which was able to make a comeback. People have short memories.

  Just out of curiosity, could JWs have a costume/fancy dress party at all (as long as it's not on a certain October evening)?

  by skin in

  i overheard a discussion between two jws, they said that when someone is disfellowshipped, they are asked to hand their blood card back to the elders.

  i had never heard of this before, is this correct?.

  "It's not like the old days where at a meeting each year everyone was asked to fill out a new one and get it witnessed."

  I once asked a question about this on here* and there were a few doubtfuls, in the UK, anyway, but I was sure that I'd read about that sort of thing a couple of decades ago. Did WT legal disallow it, due to the obvious smoking gun of WT interference in "a conscience matter"? Could anyone in the congregation not turn up to the meeting? Could you get away with not having a blood card?

  *Found the thread:

  Apparently HIPAA killed that little exercise in authoritarian overreach. 🙄
