Guess some areas were stricter than others.

Apostate Hunter?
by Lost in the fog inhas anyone heard of this jw guy?.
apparently he writes a weekly (weakly?
) blog as well as having written this book where he claims he disses the claims of "apostates".. to know what apostates are saying he has to be engaging with them or tuning into websites like this one, contravening the gb's direction not to do so.

To know what apostates are saying he has to be engaging with them or tuning into websites like this one, contravening the GB's direction not to do so. Is he just a crank or a high ranking WT stooge in disguise? Clearly by his pen name he must think he is better than everyone else!!

The bother is that the R&F are told that they must follow the advice given to them by their local elders without question. "The elders told me not to report it and bring reproach upon the Organisation."
The abused children are confronted by a 3 man tribunal (always males) who have no training in counseling or how to talk to a trauma sufferer - other than maybe a 40 minute talk in the middle of an elder's school that they probably slept through. And the accredited qualifications of the judicial committee members? Lol. Probably a window washer, a car mechanic, and a man who spends his days knocking on doors and getting them slammed in his face full-time!
Is it any wonder that secular authorities are aghast when they discover the inner workings of a congregation!? And just how blind the org is to its own obvious failings.

When The SHTF.
by Lost in the fog inwe have several non-jdub friends who are busy stockpiling foods and goods for the impending societal collapse.
some are happy enough to be called preppers, others are not, but say that looking at the deteriorating condition of the world that it's only a matter of time before the shtf and they want to be prepared to protect themselves and their families when it happens.. contrast that to the jdubs who are actively telling people that the end of the world is coming, but aren't preparing in a practical way because they have been brainwashed by a "jehovah has always protected his servants" mindset from the gb at hq (who laughingly have no reason to be concerned because they're hoping for a quick getaway up to heaven when the jw 'end of the world' comes!).
the most the average jdub has is a go-bag rucksack in case they have to quickly leave their house in the event of a natural disaster like a flood or a wildfire.. isn't it better to be safe than sorry?

Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? Proverbs 22:3 "The prudent see danger and take cover".
I haven't bought it, but one of our Prepper friends recommended Ted Riley's book "When Crisis Hits Suburbia: A Modern-Day Prepping Guide to Effectively Bug in and Protect Your Family Home in a Societal Collapse." (Suburban Prepping for the Modern Family to Prepare for Any Crisis) if any of you are interested.

Oh look! The Scottish jdubs are having tours of their refurbished hall. Won't that be a super fun day for the people of Haddington!?😂
"Hello, here's the foyer leading into the main hall, there's the ladies, gents, and baby changing facility. No, you can't go into the wee back room because that's (lowers voice to a whisper, and cautiously looks left and right) the domain of the elders. Thanks for coming. If you can just put a donation in the moneybox there and leave by the fire door."
Great way to kill 5 minutes.
Tour guides will be on hand to answer your questions ("no, sorry, Ah'm not answering those sorts of questions. Ah'm only here to tell you about the free slave labour that renovated this 1989 Victorian house. But Ah'm single if you're interested...")
