  This assembly hall has an overseer's home attached to it.

  I wonder where the current incumbent will be turfed out to.

  I think Splane is the Cult Leader. And I think there are more apostates working on the inside than we can imagine.

  so in the latest leaked video, splane goes on this crazy delusional rant about how faithful witnesses should never research their faith.. he criticizes the worldly court system and says they are not fair toward witnesses and the organization.

  he says the court system is rigged and witnesses who get convicted, (implied child sex abusers) are innocent.

  he is literally trying to justify child molesters and elders who cover them, as good people in "god's eyes" even though "human authorities" may judge them and put them in jail.

  Splane even goes so far as to suggest that JW’s get convicted in court because the judges get bribes or payoffs.

  No proof, just deceitful suggestion to further the WT agenda that JW’s are always innocent.

  He obviously never thought through the consequences of his baseless rant.

  Masks are more about protecting others than yourself. It stops you splashing people 20ft in front of you with a sneeze or cough, but unless it’s the high grade masks they don’t do a great deal to protect yourself.

  So the purpose of masking up is to reduce transmission rather than prevent contracting it.

  I guess the good thing about the vaccines is that in the UK we’re getting 50,000 new cases each day but just a tiny fraction going to hospital. Contrasting that to last winter when no one had the vaccine and with a similar infection rate 1,000’s were going into hospital each day.

  they have registered their business at companies house under business code 41100 - development of building projects.. opening their latest full accounts filing it says on page 4 under principle funding sources:.

  ”the society currently has two funding sources, one of them being the construction of new facilities or places of worship, which is invoiced at cost to other charities with similar aims”.

  We know that this invoicing never ends so it’s hardly at cost.

  I wonder what the faithful would make of their beloved religion self classifying as a building company.

  Further thoughts on the thread dealing with wandering Jews pooping outside the camp

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i think the excellent thread on the wandering jews having to defecate outside the camp could have explored further implications, such as animal faeces, and also the fact that when women are in a group they cycle (menstruate) together.

  imagine what the place was like with their attitude towards a menstruating woman, or with the disposal of the "rags".how did they dispose of all the placentas, etc.

  ?where are the skeletons of the millions of people and animals?

  The size of the camp, for those in the UK, would be about three times the size of Birmingham. Just take a look at the size of Birmingham UK on google maps and triple it in your mind.

  Imagine the fecal swamp that would be created overnight by 3 million people folding out yesterdays digested manna.

  Now imagine squelching your sandalled feet through acres of colon created stinking bog and the accompanying fog of swarming flies, every time the camp moved location.

  Pining for cucumbers would be the last thing on my mind, unless they were going to be used as bum plugs.

  Praying for others?

  i’m looking for an article, from the watchtower, where it says that we should not pray for other members from the stage.

  does anyone remember an article saying this?.

  And yet it’s so much easier to pray for someone than actually help them out. You know, like friends or Christians would do.

  The Holy Spirit made a mistake in selling off KHalls ?

  by Splash in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a couple of years ago the wt began their program of selling off dedicated kingdom halls and consolidating congregations into fewer halls.. had they kept these halls, more sparsely occupied as they were, they could by now be bringing everyone back while respecting the distancing laws.. jw’s love to find reasons how jehovah foresaw something and guided them, but it never works the other way when they make a decision that later on turns out to have been a bad idea..

  Changed From "Disfellowshipped" to "No Longer One of Jehovah's Witnesses!

  by Atlantis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend is trying to figure out the approximate date or letter, which indicated a change from the wording of public announcements.. they changed from saying the person has been disfellowshipped to saying that a person was no longer one of jehovah's witnesses.. i thought it was around the time of the bulgaria scandal.. could you help us out to remember when this change took place?

  if we could remember the approximate year, we could look up all the boe's for that year and might find the letter.. many thanks!.

  atlantis!.

  Oh yes, they used to announce the reason:

  w54 10/1 p. 595 par. 17 Christians Live the Truth

  If announcements are made to congregations concerning someone who refuses to pay debts or who is going around taking money or other things from individuals in the congregation, the congregation servant should be the one to make the announcement and he should be careful to avoid wording something in a slanderous way but merely report the facts as they exist or that a person has been disfellowshiped for dishonesty or fraud. Then those who are in the congregation can be aware of what is going on and will be able to protect their own interests and the interests of their brothers. "His wickedness shall be openly showed before the assembly."

  So the above article suggests that even after someone had been DF'd they were still able to continue interactions with the congregation.

  Publisher's Record Cards

  okay, i haven't been to a meeting in over 17 years and i don't live anywhere near the place i grew up.

  i have had minimal contact with my jw family, essentially just occasional phone conversations.

  i think they could easily guess that i'm inactive but they pretend not to know and they've never shunned me.

  If your mother finds out and threatens to shun you, point out that you've not been to a meeting in 17 years and during that time you have not done anything 'apostate' to endanger her, neither will you do so in the future.

  If she realizes that you are not the danger that the WT portray you to be she may yet be reasonable.
