Exactly on the “forced conformity” not promoting unity.

the co got on his hind legs for the public talk and repeated twice "tolerance promotes division".
then backed it up by saying that if one group march for some right, another group will march for the opposite.. so jws are intolerant and proud of it.
f@@@k me sideways.. may explain that the baptism tally was 0..
Exactly on the “forced conformity” not promoting unity.

as repeated many times about how convoluted, crazy, doesn't make sense and just poorly executed what an overlapping generation is, i just remembered another generations concept that just as bad!.

The GB wish they could be half as cool as James T. Kirk... Not a terrible movie, but I’m tracking..

on 10 june 2019, the finnish jw organization lodged an application against finland with the european court of human rights.
the case was quickly - by the court's standards - communicated to the finnish government on 10 december 2019. the complaint itself isn't available online but there is a brief summary (see the link above) prepared by the court:.
the application concerns the jehovah’s witnesses’ religious activities in finland and their compatibility with the data protection regulations.
Why not have a Podcast? Why don’t they use FB, Twitter, and Instagram in an official capacity? They could reach far more people now, then they ever could with their radio station of the past or with the door to door work.
The truth is, they don’t want that. They want to talk about giving a witness to the flock, but they know that their doctrines would be ripped to shreds, their true history exposed and even more of the public would learn about their systemic abuse problem.
They know 💯% that their beliefs have no defense and that they would lose current and future members. Their posh existence would end. The current GB want to lay low, avoid being summoned to Court, and just pass the problems on to the next overlapping generation.

Our justice system is a double-edged sword.
Pro: It cares about what is legal.
Con: It cares about what is legal.
The Montana Law will change when enough people care about ethics and morality and get the laws changed and not before.

If you’re a JW, you can still believe at your Literature Cart, and you can send letters to homes in your territory. There is absolutely no reason to door knock, especially with the many Social Media outlets available, and JW TV.
The real issue is that the ORG has created an issue over the D2D work being a hallmark of true Xianity, and they have also found it to be an excellent means of:
1) Keeping the flock busy.
2) Measuring the “spirituality” of members.
They simply do not want to admit that D2D is a waste of time because it is a core doctrine. They just don’t want to be wrong about one more thing. I’m not sure that the masters is spin could even come up with satisfactory “new light” explaining why “Jehovah” stopped the D2D work.
It must suck being wrong all the time.

it not only reflects, but it would verify that wt statistics are true and accurate.
herein, are my reasons why.. lds general conference, which is the equivalent of the jw memorial, has an attendance of around 20 million ( that's people, who physically turn up).
however, the people choosing this online option is the unknown in this equation.. lets now look at 2 different scenarios for lds general conference to see how this compares to the jws: .
The JW culture is one of appearances. Dubs are actively encouraged to guess at their field service numbers if they get behind or forget to turn in hours. Visibility is what counts in the culture. Do you have pedo leanings? Just be visible in service, and answer “No” when asked if you have ever been involved in inappropriate behavior of any kind by the Elders. Guess what?? You’re now a Servant!
In a culture that encourages “theocratic warfare”, embellishing experiences, heralding the exploits of “Andre’” and making up service time, as long as you’re visible in service, how can we trust any figures they publish?

I feel terrible for the wildlife. The idiocy and greed that contributed to this problem makes me want to believe a Divine Being will save us. Humans obviously can’t get out of their own way..
Maybe Australia will be a wake up call for humanity?

the jw.org organization looks every passing day more and more like a building firm made in usa:.

He didn’t want to discuss the failures, just like Herd didn’t want to discuss the financial troubles a couple of years ago. You would swear his wife was held hostage somewhere and he was forced to read that manuscript.
I get it. I felt the same about every privilege I had in my last two years as a Dub.

i notice the friends are in an anne frank attic instead of a boarded up basement this time.. the giving to ones in need pic shows literature and bible, but no food or money.
I bet they can’t wait to pass out Bibles in Australia as part of the “relief effort…”
I wonder if Brother Jackson will visit??
