This is a very worrying development Zeb, there is even a gag order on reporting the event.
In a sane world Tommy should be knighted. If anything should happen to him it would be time for all of time for the pitch forks to come out (if it is not already time).
at least three media venues have undertaken the daunting task of unpacking the insidious dark side of jehovah's witnesses' organization.1.

Good spotting.
i'm listening to a podcast where a former elder describes how another elder conducted the watchtower study about hyperbole.
the elder called it hyper-bowl.
soon the whole congregation called it hyper-bowl.
I recently heard an experience from a near by congregation the proves you don't have to be smart or an inspiring teacher to be an elder, all you need to be is an unswerving company man. Elder not very bright was trying to read the word extemporaneous and he twice from the platform said ex temporary anus....
my wife has been a just " goes through the motions" jw all her life.
and once in while she will see a therapist to vent.
well she finally mentioned one her reasons for stress was being a witness and the therapist said she understands because she has had many clients are witnesses!
About 20 years ago the wife of a good friend pulled me aside and questioned my evident disrepair and suggested that I should talk to a professional, her female intuition could see right through me. "We don't share our problems with those guys" I replied, " No, no, this guy is good" she said, "he's that one all the elders go to". Oh, just what I needed to hear.

hi guys!
we are so happy to share with you the interesting story of former jehovah's witnesses member jason droboth.
Great video, this organisation has the doctrinal fortitude and structural integrity of a bubble!
just heard that a young brother committed suicide this week - the whole congregation is naturally very distressed.

Wake Me: NEVER ONCE did I EVER tell my therapist that I was a Jehovah's Witness. I was too concerned about protecting the cult! ... That therapist was unable to help me.
Oh, ain't that the truth, when I think of all the good money I've shelled out over the years to these professionals in the hope of aiding wife and kids battling cognitive dissonance and depression.
As JP succinctly said - Most rank-and-file JWs with mental and emotional health problems are #^$@^% terrified of finding out that the cause of those problems is being a rank-and-file JW.

i had a deep conversation with my elder father today about the bible.
first i talked to him about luke 16:19-31. the one where jesus makes this crazy illustration regarding the afterlife.
of course he had to look it up on the watchtower library to be spoon fed his beliefs.
Hey Humbled, have a look at the video again around the 30 second mark onward, I'm sure the guy driving the boat is a young Stephen Lett.
