  The Christian Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ U.S. branch based in upstate Wallkill, declined to comment on the pending lawsuits “out of respect for the judicial process and the privacy of those involved."

  It is said there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics. The quote above is from the news article. I believe the WT statement to qualify as a damned lie! They have zero respect for the judicial process, unless it is in their favor. And anyone who has had even the most "innocent" of dealings with a group of elders knows they have no respect for any individuals privacy.

  They "decline to comment" because they are following the old maxim, "Don't speak when you can mumble. And don't mumble when you can remain silent. " They have nothing to say in their own defense that will stand the light of day.

  More fear-mongering in Nov. 2019 WT

  first of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.

  then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.

  the description says:.

  What should a good JW do when a report appears on TV about apostates who spread the truth about Jehovah's Witnesses?

  Oh, but remember, if one believes the eight WT popes, nothing said about JW's that is not kissing their ass is Satans lies.

  Patterson renovation—new donation boxes

  by careful in

  over at reddit a post has appeared stating that a letter was read at this week's clam meeting announcing renovation work at the patterson compound, er, site:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/cmz8t5/announcement_patterson_is_being_renovated_extra/.

  does it strike anyone as odd that at a time of pretty extreme belt-tightening the gb is undertaking another costly building project?

  Yep, and read out that it will be a several year project. So much for the end being "soon". Send money, give free labor, send money, oh and by the way SEND MONEY!

  November 2019 Watchtower - My highlights

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'the watchtower november 2019 study articles quoted below can be summed up as follows:.

  the great tribulation is near, so become more entrenched in the cult by strengthening friendships with other jw's, by revealing your thoughts to them, by doing more for the org, and by refusing to listen to any upsetting reports about the org in the media or on the internet.. par.

  19, page 7 - we must be determined to build and maintain strong relationships with our brothers and sisters now.

  Gee, someone got of cheap. Where I am at they had to pony up $14.50 (US) per pub.

  Weird Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  is it my imagination or are most witnesses weird, odd, and “different “?

  it seems every congregation has a couple of weirdo elders, pioneers and ministerial servants.

  and then you see those witnesses who attend meetings but most people seldom associate with them because... they are eccentric..

  If You Criticize A Person of Color Are You A Racist?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  seriously, it’s getting to a point that you can’t make a negative comment about someone without being charged as a racist, homophobe or sexist!

  if you criticize a female, you are obviously sexist.

  if you criticize someone who happens to be gay, you must hate homosexuals.

  Trump railed about the country's direction for 8 years Obama was in office. Should he have left or Shush?

  PRESIDENT Trump put his money where his mouth was, and he is now the President. If someone doesn't like it here in the U.S. then they can GTFO. I must be a racist for saying that, right?

  Honestly, how can any normal person suggest that this is racism????

  Because the people insisting that Trump was "racist" in what he said are NOT normal?

  Mostly how to "help" only other HW's in the event of a natural disaster. From what I heard anyone else gets a Jay Double U dot org website card. Of course the Dubs have to dress for the "training" seminar as if they were going to field serve-us or a meeting. I am sure suits, ties, calf length dresses are conducive to working in destroyed homes etc. Silly goobers!
