  i asked the ai gemini about destroying notes.

  here’s the response:.

  this scenario raises several legal and ethical concerns:.

  I recall a story about a hunter (trapper) who stepped into his own trap while trying to check it buried in the snow. He was unable to free himself and was forced to travel home with it attached to his ankle.

  WTC often is caught in the traps it lays. It seems that they have become active disinformation providers on certain social media, and they are quite attentive to respond quickly to anyone challenging them - very quickly I might add. I can only guess that this is their primary job, unlike most posters who occasionally catch up on the latest and post a few replies.

  On another platform, I read one such poster. The replies were Pro-WTC, and delivered all day long, often within seconds of dissenter comments. Maybe a newbie at WTC who has yet to learn how to be subtle?

  I recall that the gullible put faith in every word. It is important to remember also that WTC has been misleading (successfully) for well over 100 years. They are accomplished liars and control artists. They also learned from the Soviets who infiltrated them after WWII. Occasionally they show some brilliance so beware of underestimating them.

  When/if you spot a WTC troll, be aware. Like a wolf, they salivate at the thought of throwing an “apostate” out. Perhaps they get a bonus (an extra helping of “repeat loaf” at lunch) and get to ring a little bell too.

  so the wt society is going to contest the recent norway ruling.. jehovah’s witnesses to appeal unconstitutional ruling in norway (jw.org).

  their true colours are shown in the statement: "the decision to deregister jehovah’s witnesses denies us the financial aid and other benefits that the government provides to over 700 registered religious communities in the country.

  additional consequences include losing the right to appoint and authorize ministers of jehovah’s witnesses as officiants for weddings.".

  A CO told me that Legal will never choose to go back to court on the legality of door to door work because times have changed - and they would lose. That is what Legal told him.

  It can also be said that in most cases, WTC Legal doesn’t know when to stop. They are not “true believers” so it’s not about believing that God will help them prevail.

  I think that they think the courts will hold them in awe like the rest of Bethel does - including the GB. They are 2nd rate attorneys who don’t realize it yet. They were selected because they are JWs, not Legal Eagles.

  Their arrogance will be their undoing.

  Prediction: no more changes for a long while

  by slimboyfat in

  i’ve noticed a pattern where things don’t go the way i expect them to go and/or whenever i realise there is a trend and, i mentally adjust for the idea that the trend will continue, the trend stops in its tracks.

  so on that basis, and given many people, including myself, and active jws, have been asking ‘what changes will the governing body make next?’ perhaps the (disappointing) answer is: ‘nothing much for a while to come’.

  maybe they’ve made the changes they want for now, and will wait a while and see how it’s received.

  The GB is well aware of the decline in attendance and participation in daily JW activities. They are almost desperate to slow the decline, and will agree to meaningless changes like beards and pants. But, I am not holding my breath for any substantial change in doctrine. They have been promoters of false doctrine for over 100 years - why stop now.

  They fear losing tax exemption more than anything. Money is their god.

  the watchtower society's registration with the united nations revisited!

  [by jamaican winston gillum].

  this video makes a very factual, excellent presentation on the morally precarious position being placed upon all active jehovah's witnesses globally, because of the watchtower society's clandestine affiliation with the united nations as ngos, in the recent past.. please click here to see video: http://jehovahstruth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83.

  Kerry King - A former B’Lite (kicked to the curb) CO being taped while counseling a young brother admitted that they rejoined. He didn’t see it as a big deal.

  WTC is without question the most litigious organization on earth. They have made themselves a stench in government circles and a laughingstock among legitimate religions. While there was a time that they fought for freedom of speech and worship, that time has long passed.

  Now they fight for money, and then money and later more money.

  The video by Winston Gullem was well made and exactly on target using facts and indisputable logic.

  The only thing missing was the recent admission by a former Bethelite - now CO- who confirms that WTC is once again an NGO of the UN.

  Truthfully WTC does not respect the higher authorities. They have never embraced ‘relative subjection’ even though they define it and profess to follow it.

  Will New Rules Bring JWs Together or Pull Them Apart?

  by doinmypart in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there's been a lot of discussion about the changes in the org.

  you might think all this would shake things up, especially for the older or super dedicated jws.

  but remember when gb decided all the khs and the bank accounts needed to be transferred/managed from the top?

  Redsetter2 - My inside source actually said this coming Fall. I took it to mean October. We will see if they are correct. To date, they seem to have a handle on what is happening.

  June 2024 WT: Don't talk about Anthony Morris

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the latest study edition mentions hypothetical scenarios of jws who are no longer serving at bethel or no longer elders, etc.

  and says we shouldn't speculate, as defaming them could border on slander.. we could unintentionally defame someone by spreading negative information.

  ..... would it be proper to speculate on the reasons why these adjustments were made and to share that opinion with others?.
