Yes and if you control the platform that that the information is disseminated from.
There's a game called Simple Simon Says - you have to do something if the words 'Simple Simon says' come before the command. If those words are not expressed you don't do the command.
Similarly if today the words on the Broadcast are this, you do this. If tomorrow the words are that, you do that.

How to totally annoy her - find old literature being used in current videos. See that'd evidently demonstrate they are apostate. Look at this video on the OFFICIAL site! It's title is:-
They are using the Is Satan Real Magazine from 2014! Old light. Oh how could they! :D
can you believe the presumption?.

I'm not convinced they are simpletons. The organization is carrying out a massive con-trick - a media company aiming at taking over people's moral compasses.
If you are a con-man and get found out, a useful tool in your box is humour. "Oh it was only a joke." GB members laugh, can look a bit clownish. Then its easy for the audience to not expect perfection or blamelessness.

GB don't compare well to Noah.
Gen 6:9 - This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God.
you can't escape bias in the news media, so making it visible is the next best thing.. just came across this site which aims to label the news stories to show who is covering it.
you can see how some stories are only covered by one side which shows either their bias, or the bias of the other side from not covering it.. well worth checking out:.

Also their is generational divide. In the 1960s, there was the idea that the young would move into the future and bring about a better world. There was an idea that a revoultion would come and then everyone would have a TV.
Now they think the young will move into the future and bring about a green world where everyone is on TV - sorry Zoom.
But maybe it'll come down to whose go the electricity to run the platform. Then the elements being intensely hot will melt or something - there'll be a hissing noise and people will be looking at a blank screen. Hope the blank screen wont be biased. But it might be - after all the victors can write the history on the blank screen.

The BBC a culture that covered over Jimmy Savile - in the centre? Slightly misleading???? Er???? I want to know what it's the centre of.
JImmy Savile, this DJ/paedophile even managed to get used in public safety films!

George Orwell (AKA Eric Arthur Blair) used the BBC as the basis for his Ministry of Truth in novel 1984.
just before the pandemic affected my area, a couple of jws came to my door.
this was the first time i didn't tell them to hit the road but instead had a pleasant conversation with them.
i never revealed that i am a former jw, nor do i ever want the jws in my area to know that i was ever one.
See if you can get her on why the GB have authority - see if you can get her onto the subject of 1914. Then ask her what date they start counting from to get to 1914.
The date is 607 BCE - just see if she knows what year of Nebuchadnezzar that was (she should say 19th). FYI Watchtower changes it to the 1st year of Nebuchadnezzar. They say his first year was 624 BCE and his 19th year/aka his 1st year was 607 BCE.
The reason I suggest this is because if you look on the official website and go to the 2 videos which purport to be an explanation of their twaddle, what you notice is they do not mention how they arrive at the start date. They waffle on about 1914 being the end of the 2520 years. But they don't explain what the starting point is. Maybe it'll start her questioning if the subject interests her.
so within a week he changed the end time chain of events.
this time he said false religion will be along side with the govt.
powers when they declare peace and security!
They have zero legitimate connection to the Scriptures. Old or New Testament.
what does everyone think will happen next on the back of the coronavirus pandemic?.
these are my suggestions;.
1) coronavirus will have a disproportionate effect on jw ‘growth’ countries like in south america and africa.
LongHairGal - I frequently hear the phrase, "this is dangerous."

LongHairGal - yes they've been asking who has got rooms to spare. Its a guess but once they know who has rooms, next thing could be, 'would you mind this Bethelite living in your room?'
They had a disturbing talk on Sunday that sounds like they are after all those who will not say that GB is superior to Jehovah, Jesus etc. Usual stuff. Hang the Holy Spirit, it's what we chanel that counts. You agree or else.
Oh they also had a repeat of 'if the GB ask you to do something crazy, do it.'

Elders/COs etc have been discussing who is and who is not mentally in and preparing to chuck out or put the screws on as many PIMOs and PIMIs as they can identify.
I guess that's normal for them but they have had more time on their hands to plan and assess people's attitudes.
Also they may reduce the number of people at Bethel and seek to move them into the houses of those who are willing to have them.
