silent no more: the justices.
jehovah’s witnesses argue montana supreme court justices should overturn $35 million verdict—largest in u.s.. mark albert .
I believe that the WTBTS has had its historic victories because the general public didn’t really know what they believed and what issues they had.
Some savvy and intelligent persons were able to call the Watchtower out in some cases, like when Rutherfraud was imprisoned, but it seems many Judges and Prosecutors were historically clueless.
Thats all changing thanks to many factors, like the Internet and Ex-JW activism. Just look at Irwin Zalkin and his crew, or Angus Stewart. They have shown that they understand the belief system of the Watchtower. Therefore, they can spot the hypocrisy. That underlying sense of justice is why these guys have cared enough to dig in, do the research and not just say, “Well, ....... freedom of religion.” 🤪
Some belief systems do not deserve respect. THE END.
Until more humans evolve and understand this we are going to have archaic belief systems doing more harm than good. Don’t get me wrong, the archetypal wisdom in ancient stories can be valuable, that’s why it’s still around, but let’s drop the line of “reasoning” that ancient books are the inerrant word of some Deity.
At any rate, it seems like the Watchtower is being exposed to more scrutiny and it’s all because of...well, because of all of us. Never underestimate what we do, even if it seems inconsequential at the time.

It’s not a confession if:
1) You have no Clergy/Laity distinction.
2) An abuser is busted by the victim/ victim’s family and THEN were summoned before the Elders.

oh boy, the meetings lined up for december are culty.. it all starts with a 5 minute talk someone has to give on the topic "why should we not be troubled by the increase of memorial partakers in recent years?".
the next week again inserts jws into bible prophecy, first with "the earth swallowed up the river", which claims that court victories for the org are really god's doing.
there is no mention on who is responsible for the many judgements against the org.. then there's this chart to be discussed that same night:.
The GB are basically saying, “ We won’t know who they are until after Armageddon, but maybe Jeehoober will give us a list...”
Once again we must leave it Jeehoober’s hands.

a jehovah's witness has agreed not to show his son religious cartoons and has been banned from taking the six-year-old to some church events because it could cause him "emotional damage".
the man is embroiled in a family court dispute with his estranged wife and has been barred by a court from taking the little boy to jehovah's witness assemblies, annual conventions and memorials.. district judge malcolm dodds also said that the father had agreed not to show his son "jehovah's witness cartoons", a decision he described as "wise".
My bad. I thought the roles were reversed.
GO, Mom!!

I’m glad the Father is trying, mine never did, at least to my knowledge...
Its not easy to be a parent as there are so many ways to make a mistake. You can never teach what you don’t know.
At least this guy is taking a stand.
I’ve heard JW parents laud Caleb and Sophia as “Brainwashing at its finest..” as they set their toddler in front an electronic device.

my uber cousin and wife are going back to wallkill this weekend for the annual meeting since they have a daughter and son in law in the inner sanctum so they are always invited.
cousin said it was going to be broadcast from patterson to wallkill.
anyone hear anything else about subject matter etc?.
Maybe they started keeping track of the Annual Meeting with Solar years? We all know that can throw off your timing....

i just finished looking through the circuit overseer manual, so here are some highlights.
first up, regarding circuit assemblies:.
if a brother is so extremely overweight that others would be distracted if he had a part on the program, good judgment would need to be used in deciding whether to give him an assignment.
Any organization that has so many arbitrary rules is going to alienate their best and brightest. They won’t attract anyone from the outside that has any type of intelligence, and if you happen to be born into the organization you’re going to wake up and leave if you have any self-esteem and intelligence.
That just leaves behind and Idiocracy, so is it any wonder their “best” are not great??
