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.

Is AI going to change the world?
by Reasonfirst inhad 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.

Human writers, both male and female struggle to create believable characters of the opposite gender.

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.

Is WT Using ATTENDANTS At The Conventions To Be: "TOY COPS"
by HiddlesWife ini 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.

Please note that flasks and metal cutlery of any sort are not permitted.
LOL. You expect us to endure 6 hours of monotone dribble without a little liquid reinforcement?

Lots of empty seats at Jehovah's Witnesses Convention in Tucson, Arizona
by RULES & REGULATIONS inhttps://youtu.be/5926nhzyz90.
the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

I watched the streamed US Convention a few weeks ago. Not sure where it was recorded but there were 1,500 - 1,600 depending on the day. Only 4 baptised.
It was in an assembly hall in Connecticut, Newburgh I think.
It was curious, attenadnce dwindled as the days went on. Friday, which typically has the lowest attendance, had 1800 or 1900. By Sunday afternoon, less than 1600 were on hand to hear Rubberface McSteroid's last talk.

Why didn't God create us to be obviously different?
by SydBarrett ina silly question since i'm an atheist but one i thought of as a kid jw.
why weren't human's created to be obviously different from animals?
among believers there is some sort of universal hierarchy.

why, if we were not intended to get sick, do we have the mechanisms for coping with it when we are.
Similarly, why are penguins, polar bears, etc. built to handle extremes of temperature if the entire earth was designed to be a temperate tropical paradise?

JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inmy grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

all of them added together makes the typical meeting quite different
I think "stultifying" is the word you are looking for.

"Jehovah's Witnesses do NOT abuse children!"
No true Scotsman.....
This PA case is starting to get very interesting.
I know it's the longest of long shots, but I can't get rid of the gut feeling there is some connection between all these recent PA cases and Tony Morris' abrupt and complete disappearance, to the point of pretending he never existed, erasing his dozens if not hundreds of video appearances....
The sudden prominence of his son.....
The complete forbidding of asking anyone anything about it....
It could be any of a dozen things....but the timing is eyebrow-raising.
