Why "Removed" instead of "Disfellowshipped or Shunning"
by blondie ini was mulling this over last night...too much free time, i know.
both disfellowshipping and shunning indicate the action of avoiding someone, taking them out of your sphere of associates.
probably is a better sound bite to say "removed.

Blondie-- check out 2020 Pistol Petes information on this "Member"- not to refer to pubs as members in a Elders memo back then. I thought it was in SFOG book but too many pages to turn to find it.

Can you believe for parents to say" my son is handling mikes now" and see them on stage (kids) saying their goal was to serve at Bethel when finished school- it was such a blessing for one's kid to be active in the "truth". Now I look back and see the grift, the grooming, the BS that was so prevalent. Today we see those guys sitting in the audience, not reaching out for anything but just being there. Many of the kids from that time are out, parents have allowed others to take music, dancing, outside groups, soccer at school - so they can become accustomed to dealing with others outside the org. They are thriving but staying with it. That could be the lessening of hardline, just as beards and women wearing slacks have been allowed to do. Even buying a lotto ticket isn't a big deal that warrants a committee. In our family - 3 elders - stepped down, all kids out, Kids and grandkids. Today's elder making is a desperate move- most elders old or sick. No one stepping up. Congregations grow somewhat due to those in org moving in and out of areas. No real interest at doors.

So according to scripture women should not wear clothing of male, must have long hair - her glory.....so are we dressed in long, white dresses, or can we look shiek in a nice two piece while working to build the house? Take care of the flocks, gardening? Or will all females be changed to males as org stated many years ago - or is that just in heaven?
I like the recent indication they did not now what they were talking about (since we should not speculate) that 'ONLY JEHOVAH KNOWS'. This was from the GB2.

The Governing Body is Restructuring the Org.and encouranging young ones to REACH OUT!
by liam inthe governing body just doesn't let up on encouraging the young children to reach out to do free labor for the organization.
so another generation of young people with ruined lives.
another generation of young people that will get old and wake up in their 50s to realize they were in a religious doomsday cult.. and they are getting rid of some old workers that ran the branches of the organization, and giving them different assignments or maybe they are just sending them home, who knows.

I too knew a CO in service for years. However, the green handshakes netted him an apartment building, several houses and money all the way to the bank. Due to a scary hidden part of his private life, was df'd and re-instated within 1 year- now out of service as CO. One of the good ole boys. This is the other side of the coin.

It’s now official - The Governing Body Members are called for Legal Deposition in a Major Court Case Against Jehovah’s Witnesses!
by liam init’s now official - the governing body members are called for legal deposition in a major court case against jehovah’s witnesses!
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1ke6cgh/its_now_official_the_governing_body_members_are/.
recent court documents show that members of the jehovah’s witnesses governing body — including former member tony morris — have been officially subpoenaed to give sworn testimony regarding cases of sexual abuse in new york and how the organization dealt with (or essentially hid) them.

Sections 94,95,100 - all - should have, may have known? Section 100- parents liability- let her go with this guy more than once - will org get off once again? This is what happens when you call each other brother and sister. Breaks down the stranger danger warnings in a childs mind.

What did the WTS say the "inner rooms" to find safety
by blondie inas recently as 2025, the wts has compared the "inner rooms" to the congregation as a place of safety.
do you remember this?
notice the "weasel words" the wts uses to lay the foundation for "adjustment" or "clarification" of their statements.

When the time comes, bricks and mortar won't be there- if you depend on contact with the congregation - meaning elders or ms- I doubt that will be happening. They will be scrambling like everyone else and blood is thicker than water. This is just another scare tactic put forth for years and now that too has changed. I doubt we will be able to get to Walkill and the rest of the super bethels they have, so the main body would be tantamount to the governments of the land, where they have contingency plans should a WW3 start. No rooms for the peasants.

Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.
by liam inusa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

Anonymous- US citizens have been coming to Canada in busloads to get their prescriptions filled because it was cheaper than US was charging them, putting a strain on Canadian supplies. This was going on for years. I just checked the list of tariffs items and no mention of medicines. Here is an explanation off the news--The FDA announcement underlines the appalling gulf in drug prices between the United States and other developed nations. Pharmaceutical prices in the United States overall are more than two-and-a-half times higher than those of our peers, with manufacturers charging nearly three-and-a-half times more for brand-name drugs.
Not only are costs egregiously higher in the United States, but American patients are more exposed to those costs than their counterparts in other rich countries, as over twenty-five million people have no health insurance, and even those who do often pay steep out-of-pocket costs.
So I guess there may be a charge but albeit a minor one compared to USA drug charges.

Analysis of the Property Ownership Model of Jehovah’s Witnesses
by Paul Bonanno inanalysis of the property ownership model of jehovah’s witnesses.
jehovah’s witnesses have developed a structured and financially efficient model for acquiring, building, and managing properties worldwide.
their approach maximizes resources contributed by members while ensuring that ownership and financial control remain centralized within the organization.

Look this is and has been for years a scheme to get properties donated, congregation paid off the build , pay mortgage for years, then turn over the deed to the corporation. They and only they have the right to sell when market is high in an area. It's a game and they play it well, Amway, you buy their product, (land)you sell the product,(truth) you bring others in to support and sell product(baptism), build a distribution area,(door to door) bring in more people (service/baptism ), commissions (deeds) go to the top - a triangle with those at the top holding all the resources and monies. SLAVE LABOUR. Meanwhile several years back, the org did away with paying off a loan mortgage for a hall. We thought hey great, we now own the hall outright. But no, then a meeting was help to ask pubs to make a monthly contribution for the rest of their lives to take its place- another sucker game but hey, blessed by GB , so that was a help. Then another contribution on top to defray costs of insurance and ww work. Never ending call for money when you see only a few halls being built as they promised. Lot of reno's- and now they till want cong to pay for that- but now the devastations could be the next big win for the org. General funds go a long way for everything but then there are their stocks and investments - JW/ billion dollar corp.
