underwhelming as usual.
of note is the ridiculous amount of time spent encouraging the r&f to "do the math" on various chronologies.
oh if only they would do the math from their own publications on the error of 607/1914.
Underwhelming as usual.

Thankfully, https://www.jw.org/en/ is capitalizing on the storm.
have you ever been watching a show and suddenly, there's a reference to jehovah's witnesses?
i was watching an english mystery show from a while back and the main character hetty, was giving a list of religions that could have drawn off a young girl.
one of the "fringe" groups was tada - jehovah's witnesses.. there is plenty of other more well known clips like snl coneheads being approached by fake jw's.
My Favorite = Coneheads
what would it be?.
mine would be "rocket man" by elton john.

>If you are openly dissatisfied you will become a target
>Don't raise questions or face persecution. Keep your mouth shut.
>Defecting is dangerous
>Defecting is individually a "long story" and usually thought about for a long time. Including how to get my family out as well. Lots of thought before the actual defection.

>Somebody should do something to effect change
>Afraid of the regime AND afraid of each other
comment in today's wt, was about dr spock, and his book "that every parent in the world read" apparently (!).
if it wasn't for the wt's obsessions with the guy i would have no idea who he was, neither i suspect would the vast majority of the congregation.
there has been a mass of parenting books written since and yet they keep harking back to this one.. do they have no idea how out of touch this makes them seem?.
Dr. Spocks book "baby and childcare" was revised like 15 times over the years. This is the angle the WT capitalizes on...."Man made books need revision and the Bible never needs to be revised."
Funny...the NWT HAS been revised more than once.
Such a load of crap.
read on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.
my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.
to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?
Prudent? No, no....its Prudish. F&DS changing to Prudish.
i see that there is a lot of people bidding on and buying the more controversial publications.
it could be all due to people who have left the cult and want to read it as published the crazy things or prove it to a family member.
but i wonder if anyone has ever heard of individuals buying up to remove something from the public.
JWs treat doubting, faded, and d/f'ed members just like all their old publications.
the light continues to get brighter, yada, yada, yada.. but, the bottom line is the watchtower claims everything comes from jehovah.
books, magazines, videos, assemblies, to jw broadcast, to gb appointments, to dramas, even the music and sophia and caleb.
heck, they would claim jehovah provides the toilet paper if they could.
What I used to tell dissenting, doubting, apostates was.....drumroll...."the Truth never changes but our understanding of it does.
on june 25, 2019 watchtower ny filed petition for a writ of certiorari in the u.s. supreme court.
the society asks to reconsider a $4 million judgment against it in a california child abuse case.
docket: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/19-40.html .
SCOTUS
7000-8000 cases filed per year
75 cases taken up last year
When cases taken, they reverse lower court decisions 70% of the time.
