what a pathetic state if affairs.. https://used-tools-equipment.com/.
are they really this clueless and desperate?.
most organizations would just toss this stuff in the trash bin..
They've been having these sales for years, if not decades.
Why not? There are undoubtedly hundreds if not thousands of JWs who would slobber all over themselves joyously at the prospect of owning something that used to be used for "Jehovah's service".

Perhaps there was was a need in that cong. or maybe he requested it ?
As an acquaintance of mine used to say (no offence intended )..."Are you on drugs???"
There's a "need" in a congregation in Podunk North Carolina (have you ever been to Lumberton? "Podunk" is being generous), so they request, and get, someone to be removed from the GB and sent down to "help"?
Or maybe the guy "requested" to be moved from the prestigious life of a JW elite, a life of ease, relative luxury, and prominence, he "requests" to be moved to Podunk North Carolina....and the WTS gratefully obliges, and shows their gratitude by furiously scrubbing their website of the dozens if not hundreds of video appearances by the guy over the past decade?
In the words of John McEnroe , "you cannot be serious".
All the evidence points to:
-- He did something egregiously rotten - not quite so bad as to be DF'ed, but really, really bad (or possibly embarrassing to the org., or something that increases their legal liability)
-- He was booted out of Bethel
-- He was gifted, in exchange for signing an ironclad NDA, a reasonably decent house and a modest income
Now that people know where he lives, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone tracks him down, in a Lumberton grocery store or post office or liquor store, and chats him up while secretly recording it.

I think I read somewhere he has family in or around Lumberton NC, which would explain "why there". Curious that the WTS bought a 2nd house in the vicinity.
It's all so hush-hush, it may be that even the local congregation (or most of them, anyway) don't know he lives there.
Can you imagine the reaction of an unsuspecting JW ringing the bell there on a Saturday morning, and out comes (former) GB member Tony Morris?

less then half were children.. as far as patience goes, it can certainly help you be a better person when dealing with others but needless to say, this having patience waiting for jehovah is pure b.s.!
If Jehovah were to solve mankind’s problems now, it could appear as if Satan’s rulership were having a measure of success. They really went on about that. No one could provide any explanation of why Jehovah solving problems would appear that it was Satan. Wouldn't God solve the problems and also provide proof that it was HE would did it?
Ever get the feeling the guys in the writing department have running bets, as in "who can get the most outrageously absurd, nonsensical, transparently stupid statement past the 'GB helpers' and actually into print?"
Somebody won a case of MacCallan by slipping that little nugget in there.
Let's see how well that logic works in other areas:
If a lifeguard were to save a drowning child, it could appear that lifeguards were not needed after all, since no one ever drowns.
If a football team's goalkeeper were to block his opponents scoring attempts, it could appear that goalkeepers were not needed since the other team wouldn't score.
Well done, anonymous WT writer!
The gauntlet is down - which one of you writers can top that over-the-top codswallop!
new wt october 2023....first an article remembering 1923....they make changes, the had a "prayer, praise and testimony weekly meeting".. after an study article about obey, specially paragraph 18.. i have a wild guess, next year, just one weekly meeting for the borg..
Midweek meeting is where they read off all their announcements, including disfellowshipping announcements. Seems pretty unlikely they'd want to read off names of those DF'ed at a meeting ostensibly for the "public".
jehovah’s witnesses open historic museum in edo .. https://punchng.com/jehovahs-witnesses-open-historic-museum-in-edo/.
Yet of course, they rarely highlight the fact they had very different teachings in the past and kept changing them.
LOL, that's the thing.
They keep harping on and on about their "rich spiritual heritage" and old books, old phonograph records, old radio broadcasts, etc.
But if anyone of today's JWs would spend a non-superficial amount of time actually reading or listening to what was taught 100 years ago, or 75 years ago, or even 50 years ago, they'd immediately think it was some sort of "apostate conspiracy to make us look bad" or some such.
Their "museums" and "libraries" are stuffed with books that you are just supposed to admire the covers of, not actually read.

"in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.
" so said 18th-century american statesman and inventor benjamin franklin.
If Bethel pursued JW child abusers with the same vigor and determination that they do for tax avoidance, they'd have by far the cleanest organization on the face of the earth.
had lunch with a friend, whose a lecturer in the accounting dept.
of one of australia's best universities.
he told me he expects to lose his job at some point in the next 5 years, as the accounting dept, will disappear, as all accounting will be done by ai programs, so why teach it.. if his fears are correct, that means that any profession that involves the mind, may one day face the same future.

JWs believe that non-JWs are "individually blessed by God", when they pray for help and then 5 minutes later (as the stories always go) a JW couple knocks on their door and offers them a "Bible" study.
i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.

LOL. You expect us to endure 6 hours of monotone dribble without a little liquid reinforcement?
