Given what Watchtower does with arithmetic in relation to it's 1914 doctrine and given that arithmetic is either the most powerful tool of science or is science itself (maybe that is maths not arithmetic) - Watchtower does not allow freedom to even add up two and two to get four. That hinders a member in relation to scientific equiry.

The Recent Legal Decision and WT Hypocrisy
by Slidin Fast injust to remind you, the recent court decision included a judgement about wt and freedom of speech something the organisation has long prided itself about.
infosektamedia release of july 8, 2020 7. thewatchtower organisation denies members the human right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion according to article 18 statement by the expert (tages-anzeiger)"furthermore, article 18 states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, a right that the watchtower society claims for itself but does not grant its members.
" judgment of the court by ostracizing members who no longer share the faith, they are implicitly denied freedom of faith and conscience (proof of good faith).

Ever noticed how Rev 13:17 is always left out of their explanation of 666. They apply the number to politics like the image that Nebuchadnezzar set up and not pledging allegiance. But they never really explain Rev 13:17 which is specific in saying you wont be able to buy or sell:-
(Revelation 13:17) . . .and that nobody might be able to buy or sell except a person having the mark, the name of the wild beast or the number of its name. . .

New day - please don't pierce yourself. Try a jw lanyard.
Sorry I can't find the jw sick bag on Etsy. You may have to ask the online First Aider for one. That's assuming there is an online First Aid Team.

Newest Anti-Apostate Tactics
by Anna Marina indon't quote any scriptures during the watchtower study that are not in the paragraph.. don't quote the governing body or anything from the broadcast ever.
it might be true but it is not true truth if it is coming out of your mouth if you have been critical of the governing body.
especially so if your criticism is valid and you have dared to support you view with scriptures, most especially the words of jesus christ.. anyone know of other new tactics?.

I can tell you that in my area at least one congregation of elders are frozen. They don't know what to do as their own families are on the line.
It looks like they are maintaining, what for them is a fearful balance and there have been reports of bottom sets of teeth being on view.
Battening down on what scriptures can be used in the Watchtower might be one of the only tools left in their tool box. But I expect there are still a couple of bolts. Maybe they could be fitted to the neck of Watchtower Study Conductor.

Hi DesirousOfChange - BBC has given coverage to the child abuse cover up
See this thread

Sorry to hear about what you are having to endure over in US. Shame they don't focus on modern day slavery and how some will take homeless people and get them to labour for them for nothing more than a bit of food.
This kind of thing has been happening in my neighbourhood. The ones doing it have justified it by saying they are helping the homeless and the normal cost of labour is 'ridiculous'.

truth_b_know - oh don't ask me to read the stuff, I rely on others doing that! :) I believe Tadua on Beroeans has done an exhaustive study of this Watchtower.
DubaRub - when they gave this announcement, spiritually, some of them did your hairdo. It's been a good gaming technique up until now to whack in legitimate scriptures and get the elders to quietly pass over what you just said as they hunt around for someone else who will give the right answer.
You know people love to quote that scripture on how to identify false prophets and things like that.
Ye,s maybe they have just brought back an old technique they haven't had to use for a few years. Blow the dust of and get it going again
