i am pimo but attended the r.c yesterday for family pressure reasons.
a "sister" i've not seen for a while told me her husband is overjoyed because a man he called on recently in the field service suddenly told him he wanted to attend the r.c.
the unusual thing is, this man is a millionaire having built a property portfolio.

i mean they routinely question the "invited" guest of dishonor to their proceedings: if they have any prohibited recording devices and won't allow any witnesses to be present.
this is cruelly horrible treatment of a human being,, i say this can be a slam dunk in the courts.
maybe not millions but definitely some nice returns for the person and his lawyer.
Corporations are able to do such things. They are a Private Jurisdiction and are able to enforce their own Private "laws" or procedures within/upon their own property. Unless there has been Full Disclosure of this characteristic of the Corporation with the Membership, then who would know?
Corporations are very Unique Persons.
i wanted to get people's opinion on something.
how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.
there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.
That is a very real possibility.
But one must never assume they've broken some "law" until there is complete comprehension of the "law," the nature of the jurisdiction and the type of Person the "law" applies to. Under the Original Jurisdiction, which still exists but is seldom entered, a Man or a Woman have not broken any "law" unless there is an injured party. Acting in the capacity of Man or Woman, the act of recording some conversation or proceeding would not be a violation of any Law of the Original Jurisdiction.
Whereas, acting in the capacity of a LEGAL NAME PERSON would potentially make one culpable as that would be within the Corporate Jurisdiction of our present Legal System. Corporate created Fictions (Subjects) are property of the Creator (the State) and their "actions" are very tightly controlled.
When answering to Authority be able to properly assert ones true identity: Are you a flesh and blood Man or Woman of the Original Jurisdiction or are you a LEGAL NAME ENTITY with a NUMBER which places you within the Private Corporation Jurisdiction which has come into existence with the New Deal?
I know, I know... Many will not comprehend any of this. It really is simple but we've been so conditioned by The System we think the FICTION is us. FICTION has no freedom.
When I entered the Navy in 1960 we were identified by our Nautical Name, Naval rate and Naval Service Number: LAST NAME, First Name, Middle Initial, Rate, 529-00-XX
In 1970, Military Service Numbers were abolished and replaced with the Social Security Account Number (New Service Number) and the LEGAL NAME format:
LAST NAME, FIRST NAME, MIDDLE NAME, Rate, XXX-XX-XXXX
This signified that in 1970 the process of converting all of the State Governments to Federal Corporation District States with their Revised Statutes had been completed and that all American Citizens were to be identified as LEGAL FICTION PERSONS with their SSAN/TIN.
State ID and Driver License formats gradually came into this new standard as well to signify that the State Governments are Political Subdivisions of the Federal Government.
The New Deal Corporation U.S. and its Federal Corporation District States was fully implemented and doing Business. The Original Jurisdiction was put on the shelf. The Military Flag became the symbol of the New Deal Legal System.
So how are Active Witnesses today accounted for within the Organization; how are they identified? Are they Men and Women or are they Creations of the Watchtower Corporation? The Watchtower Corporation is a Private Jurisdiction that is capable of enacting its own "laws" upon its own "Property."
Do the membership know who/what they are?
i was thinking back to when the book babylon the great has fallen gods kingdom rules.was published many years ago when it was believed religion was declining in the world.. the book took exception to the r.c.church as the worst of christendom substituting themselves for the kingdom of god on earth , the counterfeit kingdom i think they called them.vicar of christ on earth.. and while its true to some degree in western lands today that religion is declining as regards christendom it is not happening in non christian religions around the world.. which brings me to the unprcedented rise and spread of islam in the world today .. with the war in iraq ,syria ,etc,and the people fleeing these war torn countries to europe and elsewhere around the globe with refugees and asylum seekers the spread of islam in the short space of time now beats any missionary projects conducted by christendom.. judaism ,christendom and islam all have their roots in the bible.the jews first then christians then muslims.. the bible only relates to the first two jews and christians and is completely silent about muslims.even in prophecy.. the book mentioned earlier btggkr nowhere mentions islam or muslims.as if they didnt even exist ,yet today they equal in numbers to all of christendoms religions.. islam today is by far a greater threat to christianity and especially to jehovahs witnesses than anything the roman catholic church ever posed before.. obviously the holy bible and the holy spirit or jehovahs chosen people the jehovahs witnesses never did forsee the rise and influence of the religion of islam in todays world.. the bible is completely silent about islam or the rise of muslims on the world stage.. could it be that they could no more predict the future than i could ?.
the wtb&ts the publishing house of jehovahs witnesses have for the past 100 years have continually attacked the roman catholic religion and portrayed them in an unfavourable light.time after time in mags and books,.
how many times have the wtb&ts attacked and challenged the religion of islam and muslims and condemned them as a principle member of babylon the great the empire of false religion.. to this day jehovahs witnesses cannot freely go door to door preaching their message in muslim dominated countries where proselytism is forbidden.
We are presently living in Babylon the Great. It hasn't yet assumed its sought after total control of planet Earth but that is not far off.
Babylon the Great had its beginnings when the tribe of Judah and the Judeans were exiled to Babylon. When the exile ended it chose to remain in Babylon as the World Headquarters for the new and changed implementation of the corrupted version that existed formerly in Jerusalem. The plans were laid then with the aid of "knowledge" learned from the Babylonian System which had been incorporated into the new which are now known as The Protocols.
These were the same Money Changers who were ejected from the Temple for turning it into a Business Operation which exploited the people by means of "usury."
Since then their ability to control politics, finances, entertainment, the media, religion and virtually every aspect of "life" has increased immensely. The Protocols have guided the effort which is nearly completed.
They have had much experience in the art of fomenting war while financing both sides of the conflict with finesse which had made them incredibly wealthy. They are still at it. Those who Love Money and are able to create as much as they desire are able to perform majick.
Their Babylonian system of Debt has effectively enslaved the whole World.

It would be interesting to study the "law" regarding the activities in question to see what sort of "jurisdiction" the "law" applies to as well as what sort of "person" may be held accountable. If the "law" in question is Corporation Statute (Corporation U.S. or Corporation State of XXXXX) then it may not even apply to a Man or Woman (who are not Corporation Created Persons) within the Original Jurisdiction of the Law of the Land. Since the New Deal of 1935 the Legal System in the U.S, is based upon Statute Code or Corporation Law which is not the Original Jurisdiction of 1789. New Deal law applies to Corporation Created PERSONS who are given an ACCOUNT NAME and an ACCOUNT NUMBER. These PERSONS exist only on paper as fiction. But, if you identify yourself as one of those PERSONS then you in fact become a Partnership and assume full liability for any purported violations of Code.
For those who have found Truth there truly is freedom!
God created Men and Women. Man creates Persons to be deceived and exploited.
i want something different on my next pizza!.
When I was in the Navy the best pizza ever was a place called Napoli Pizza on Tennessee in Vallejo, California very near the main gate to the Naval Station. Their pizzas were hand spun in the old way and included a generous amount of olive oil which added some nice flavor. Not truly Sicilian but kinda/sorta. I still have dreams about how great their pizza was back in '70-'71. Anyone out there know the place?
i was wondering if someone could help me with a question.. i am a rookie exjw, i only left the organization 4 months ago and everything i've discovered (un/arc/malawi/mexico etc) i've only discovered in the last few months so you can image it's been a huge shock to me especially after after 50 yrs!.
every time i think i've heard everything, something else pops up.. now i've come across a youtube video that mention tv evangelizer jimmy swaggart and the watchtower.
i remember jimmy swaggart from the time i lived in the u.s.a and i remember the scandals with him and prostitutes etc.
Quote from Phoebe:
This is a secret society, with secret letters and secret books and I like, millions of others, went along with everything, trusting every word they said, thinking it was Jehovah God's direction.
Aye, that is very true indeed! There is a hierarchy with an inner circle which has "knowledge" unknown to the lower levels. The lower levels are exploited to serve the "interests" of the inner circle. And while they claim to be an instrument of the Almighty One, by their fruits it is very apparent that they are truly in servitude to the Father of the Lie. One might say that they are a typical satanic cult.
jehovah's witnesses have had to revise their chronology and various doctrinal interpretations due to events and scholarly corrections.
but the one teaching where they have been consistently ahead of the curve is the importance of jehovah's name.. .
i'm going to run through a (necessarily selective) timeline of jw events and scholarly publications that demonstrate the phenomenal success of this teaching in the last days.
...,if fact, = ,in fact,... Sorely miss the ability to edit mispellings!

For the record: Cofty has got it right! The Distinctive Name is all about the Qualities, Characteristics and Position of the Name Holder rather than how it is spelled, written or pronounced in all of its various Earthly languages.
The newly discovered Hebrew (with all of the vowel markings intact) written/spoken Distinctive Name is much nearer to Yah-Hoo-WAH than Jee-HO-vah. If that, if fact, is of any importance.

...distinctive Jewish name for the almighty...
Actually, the "Distinctive Name" is not a Jewish name. It was not a creation of the Judeans or any of the other houses of Israel. The Distinctive Name was made known to Men of God long before the Judeans even existed. Why do Christian Believers continue to attribute to the Jews (Pharisees) such erroneous views?
