The Rebel it's not such a big deal
It is a big deal, because they have said it is a big deal.
They blab on about being discreet but demonstrate themselves to be exactly what they condemn.
They constantly badger and heckle for more money but exhibit tactless hubris by parading their riches on TV.*** w94 8/15 p. 11 par. 3 This Good News Must Be Preached First ***
In stark contrast, news reports have time and again revealed many of the clergy in some lands to be pedophiles, immoral swindlers, and frauds. Their works of the flesh and their extravagant life-styles are manifest for all to see. One popular songwriter expressed it well in his song entitled “Would Jesus Wear a Rolex [a very expensive gold watch] on His Television Show?”*** w92 5/1 p. 16 par. 10 Who Will Escape the “Time of Distress”? ***
Christendom does not seek righteousness. Many of her adherents adopt or sponsor permissive life-styles. Rather than seek meekness as Jesus did, they make a showy display, for example on television, of luxurious and often immoral living.*** w83 6/15 p. 18 par. 12 Do Not ‘Turn Back to Weak and Beggarly Things’ ***
Some think that a “showy display of one’s means of life” implies flaunting designer-name clothing or excessive jewelry, such as wearing four or five rings at the same time. (James 2:2, 3) And it may, for the Bible counsels against concentrating on adornments such as “gold ornaments.”*** w84 10/1 p. 13 par. 14 Why We Must Be No Part of This World ***
“The showy display of one’s means of life” must also be avoided by Jehovah’s servants. How tempting it can be to show off costly acquisitions! Such wrong desire often leads not only to trying to keep up with others but also to striving to get far ahead of them materially. ... At the root of all this status-seeking and showy display is sinful pride. (Proverbs 8:13; 16:18; 21:4) Surely, then, we must resist the temptation to flaunt our acquisitions and supposed attainments. -

The Oesophagus of the whale shark and the story of Jonah
by purrpurr inin the wt's literature it is often theorised that the "great fish" that swallowed jonah was a whale shark.
indeed looking at whale sharks with their wide huge mouths it seems reasonable to think that a human could fit in there.... ... until that is you do any research on it.
while the whales mouth is huge, it's oesophagus however is only a few inches wide.

*** w93 8/15 p. 32 Did It Swallow Jonah? ***Some say, ‘Impossible! No creature in the sea could swallow a man.’ But either a sperm whale or a great white shark could. National Geographic (December 1992) offered another possibility—the whale shark. The largest known shark, it can grow to 70 feet [20 m] in length and weigh 70 tons. “The whale shark’s unusual digestive anatomy lends itself to Jonah stories. It is easy to imagine yourself being inadvertently sucked into a whale shark’s mouth, which is huge . . . The cavernous mouth of even a small adult whale shark could easily accommodate a pair of Jonahs.” -

*** w96 5/15 p. 25 Jonah Learns About Jehovah’s Mercy ***
At that the sailors throw Jonah overboard. As he sinks into the churning sea, its raging begins to cease.As the water closes over Jonah, he is doubtless praying. Then he feels himself slipping along a soft channel as he slides into a larger cavity. Surprisingly, he can still breathe! Unwrapping seaweed from around his head, Jonah finds himself in a truly unique place. This is because “Jehovah appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, so that Jonah came to be in the inward parts of the fish three days and three nights.”

prologos par. 12, privileged older ones have seen the org's transformation
We had a lot of hands listing the changes we all were aware of.
In my time in the Org we have had new teachings on when the end is coming, new teachings on blood, on 1914 and on the 'generation', different requirements for pioneers, new Faithful Slave, new donation arrangements, different assemblies, different headquarters, a different and prominent Governing Body, new videos, cartoons and online TV shows, different ministry, new branding (JW.org), different weekly meetings, different Sunday talks, everything tablet based, new elder and DO arrangements, smaller magazines, different Kingdom Halls, new songs, new music and a different Bible,
It's a new religion.

London Bethelites Are Agitated!
by The Searcher ina source has informed me that a relative who's in london bethel has said that a number of bethelites there are very uncomfortable and embarrassed because the branch has received "quite a few letters" querying why members of the governing body were wearing flashy rings and jewellery on some of the monthly broadcasts, but on the broadcast when the g.b.
asked for more money from the congregations - their gold and jewellery was not on display!.
will probably emerge one day wearing sackcloth, begging for yet more donations..

The GB are such clueless clowns.
They are so far removed from sense and reality that they piously have no idea how to conduct themselves.
They flaunt their wealth, openly lie, consider themselves faultless and immune from the world's courts.
Even the hardcore fans are starting to wake up to their immense and public stupidity.

Is it worth making a JW Talk profile?
by Lemonp ini have looked at the jw talk forums every now and again.
is it any use making a profile to get in?
mainly just to laugh at the pathetic discussion that they carry on with.

Some parts are quite interesting but it's not a discussion forum, it's a worship forum for the GB.
I couldn't stomach the adulation and juvenile reasoning, so got banned for pointing out an obvious but irrefutable problem with their teachings.
They talk of love, but it's actually a very hateful and suspicious forum.

I once called out Satan's name, and an evil presence descended on both myself and my friend to the degree we both instantaneously ducked for cover.
We looked at each other to say What The Hell?????
It was a flesh crawling, terror inducing moment of fear that had us both drop to the floor instinctively.
Neither of us were expecting it or could explain it.
