  Incidents involving threats with an object or a weapon, or physical or verbal assault toward a publisher while engaged in theocratic activity are generally to be considered as hate- or prejudice-motivated crime.

  I noticed this point. In many areas it is legally considered verbal assault to loudly swear at someone in public. I know it is in the area where I live. So now they can whine about persecution even more when an irate person tell them to GFY or to get the Hell off my porch and whimper about how hated they are.

  I can hear it now. . .Lett with many goofy facial contortions saying, "We loooovve how hated and persecuted we are. It proves we are close to the end."

  Yet children being victims of CSA will still be just a "sin"!

  Murder JW Style (True Crime)

  by Tahoe in

  a home remodeling job in england that went wildly wrong:.

  a builder who bludgeoned his client to death with a hammer in a row over her new extension has been jailed for at least 15 years for murder.. peter norgrove killed sharon gordon at her home on 20 july last year.. her daughter rhian brown said norgrove acted like a "wolf in sheep's clothing" after earning her trust at the church they attended in dudley.. wolverhampton crown court heard he led the jehovah's witness service the same night he killed mrs gordon.. he repeatedly lied to her about the work he was doing, which took 15 months instead of six weeks.. .

  "he didn't have the experience to be doing the work he was doing," miss brown said.. "he took full payment for the extension in advance, which we believe to be more than £30,000.".

  @Biahi I had that happen to me years ago when I contracted with a "brother" to build a new house for me. Contract called for a 60 day completion to qualify for the home loan I had applied for. I lost the lower interest loan. When I sold the place and moved three years later the damned place STILL wasn't complete, and the eldurrs in that congregation threatened me with getting DF'd if I took him to court. He was sued by several non-JW home buyers, and lost every time. He was more crooked than a corkscrew. Looking back I should have sued him to Hell and back, and forgot the hamster wheel then instead of later.

  When The 'Tower Is Mentioned In A Will

  by NotFormer in

  2. beliefs

  i assume someone from wt attends the reading of the will.

  an elder, a co, some especially selected person from the branch under whose purview this sort of thing is maintained?.

  what is the procedure?.

  What about in the USA? Who turns up at the will reading to represent the WT?

  In my case no one. I was legally and ethically bound to inform WT of the death and they had a copy of the will. Both parents had stipulated that everything would go to the surviving spouse. So everything went to my father when my mom died. When he died I was working at having him transfer his financial holdings into joint accounts with me listed as joint owner. He died before I could get the final one in a joint account. Otherwise at his death they all became mine legally and ethically. Sadly the one I was not able to get completed before he died netted WT a tidy high six figure payout, for which their only response was, "Is that all there is? Can we expect more?" I was able to truthfully tell them, "NO!!" as the rest was mine, and I will never give WT one thin dime!

  If they lose it will be because of "persecution" and proof that it is the last second, of the last seconds, of the last minute, of the last minutes, or the last hour, of the last hours, of the last day, of the last days, of the last week, of the last month, of the last months, of the last year, of the last years, of the last. . .well we all get the idea.

  Then they will announce that because of that "persecution" funds are not keeping up with expenses, and Jehovah always takes care of his people, and we know you brothers will want to show Jehovah how much you looovve him by giving of your valuable things.

  World war 111? We only have 109 more to go. Okay, I just saw some humor in the way that was written, please don't take offense. I know WW III was meant.

  Perhaps a faked photo from a fake person in attendance and put on exJW sites for the sole purpose to ferret out anyone who might attach it and send it to someone who was PIMI?

  JW Chrisians in name only-what do you think

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw claim they are the true religion and they mention the love they have among themselves as proof.

  i have been watching a youtube creator who had some thoughts on the subject, bringing out jw were not really christian, based upon their actions.

  he made a pretty good case.

  The Org prioritizes unity over love.

  I understand the point you were making, however I would change the word unity to conformity.

  I've said it before, and will keep saying it. I quote my father who said shortly before he died, "Jehovah's Witnesses have love on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!"

  More true words have been seldom spoken.

  https://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.

  branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).

  number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).

  Comparing WT year end report for 2023 over 2022:

  123,965 more dunked in 2023

  217 more congregations in 2023
  

  1162 more Memorial partakers in 2023
  

  289,693,010 more serve us hours in 2023

  117514 more "publishers" in 2023

  1.3 % increase in 2023 compared to 0.4% in 2022

  WT is padding the report to avoid the truth that they are in STEEP decline.
