i recently watched a video about a kingdom hall demonstration from a link on this site, and in the comments on youtube somebody said this: .
i understand that the "apostate" activity this week has caused the wt/gb to change the content of the november jwbroadcasting episode and will delay its release until they can figure out how to spin this activity.. .
has anybody heard of this or is there any truth to this?
Was their program was impacted by the "apostates?"... of course. They're among the most reactive -- and least proactive -- people on the planet.
"WE will NEVER" change our scriptural position on this subject" -- or for as as long as the settlement money runs out.
Their intransigence will doom them eventually.
my uber elder cousin and his wife got the "privilege" of having one last "toast" of wine at the rooftop garden at the towers in nyc since the jw's are vacating to warwick.
his oldest daughter and son in law are quite high up in the inner circle so they get invited to all the "inner circle" activities.
even though they aren't supposed to toast to anything it was pretty darn close.
Russ Kurzen was, for much of the 50s and 60s, receptionist at the 107 building.

Again, it's an example of a shift toward a diminishing outreach to the uninitiated public and an increasingly desperate bid to hold onto what they have by dazzling the masses with impressively produced puffery devoid of any intellectual weight.
And just how are the rank and file .. so conditioned to going door-to- door with printed materials -- supposed to adjust?
Once again, kudos to you wifibandit for your invaluable contributions to this forum!
i'd like to show you a short video i made about exjw activism in poland.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt3qdtyxgd8.
i'm one of the people responsible for those information campaigns/protests, so you can ask me anything you like.
there's a lot i didn't show on the video because of the limited time i have for editing, i have tons of footage more.
It seems the ex-JW literature cart attracted a lot more interest than the usual JW setups!
hiya peeps.
in my comedy routine i am keen to add some audio of the worst things jws have said in talks.
tight pants tony.

or, his take on "Womens' Lip"
the songs in the old brown song book were way better than these new ones.
had they not changed the songs, i may never have left (halfway joking).
they gave no feeling, no soul (but of course there's no such thing as soul or whatever)!
so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.

what is the youngest you have seen someone baptised?
i recall seeing a 9 yo girl baptised..
The current policy represents a 180-degree volte-face from JW thinking in the 50s/60s.
I clearly recall a talk on baptism encouraging any young JW who harbored misgivings for having been baptized too young to really appreciate the consequences, or to please his/her parents, to consider getting re-baptized.
does the act of baptism make us a "member" of any group or organization?
or, is it something much greater in its purpose?.
when we as former jws came to the truthful conclusion that what the wtborg cult inc. was teaching/preaching was not an accurate representation of the word, many of us decided to look into every nook and cranny to see if we could discover the real truth.
Herewith an excellent refutation of the JW "dedication vow" dogma:
