Thanks for the links Petra.
Some JW's may have thought I was just spreading "apostate lies."
the bible says this - acts 17:11 “...for they [the beroeans] accepted the word with the greatest eagerness of mind, carefully examining the scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”.
km 9/07 p. 3 question box - does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of witnesses who meet together to engage in scriptural research...?.
and yet, in various parts of the world, a few associates of our organization have formed groups to do independent research on bible-related subjects... some have pursued an independent group study...so as to analyze the accuracy* of the new world translation... for those who wish to do extra bible study and research, we recommend that they explore insight on the scriptures, “all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial,” and our other publications...” .

But the self-proclaimed 'slave' says this -

“No, it does not. And yet, in various parts of the world, a few associates of our organization have formed groups to do independent research on Bible-related subjects...

(Yup - Don't study the Bible - study our literature and the thought-control techniques!
*yb15 p. 19 A Bible That Is Made to Last – from the times stated, it becomes evident that the org was working on the RNWT in 2007-2008, proving that the “slave” didn't think the NWT was accurate!
the reason i ask is that i got a call from a friend last week who had to go to one of the biggest hospitals in scotland because of an eye injury.. he said there wasn't one other single person seeking medical attention when he walked in - only medical staff standing around with nothing to do.
i was astounded, given the media reports.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=180&v=uzxhwyrkqtk&feature=emb_logo.
I've was told last night that a large hospital - in a very populated part of England where 2 of my relatives work - is also empty.
Are they deliberately being kept unoccupied, waiting for a predicted "flood" of virus victims?

since i've never lived in time with dire events, this virus and it's effects, has taken me by surprise.
not that i should be surprised by how people responded, but until you experience it first hand, you just don't get the scope of it all.. all the hoarding.
i've always taken things in a more rational way.
A novel coronavirus succeeded where Hitler & Stalin failed - to paralyse the org!! LOL

Thanks again Petra & Atlantis.
I see that there's no offers of financial aid from the billion-dollar org!
Silly me, why would a charity use its cash to financially assist people in trouble?
if anyone voices an opinion with which i disagree or even detest, i can either debate it or walk away.. the last thing i want is for someone to be silenced by threats.
however, it appears that some opinions on social media etc.
which contradict the official narrative are being muted.
Expressed opinions should always be accepted as such, but when laws and threats are introduced to silence such opinions, it's time to worry.

If you deny to others the right to say what you think is wrong, it will not be long before you will lose the privilege to say what you think is right.
Defense of the freedom of others is in reality, self-defense. A very wise sentiment which everyone should take on board: “I wholly disapprove with what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it.”
like cardinal pell, the courts have stated that the prosecutors are being too zealous, this time with a magachurch leader from mexico.. https://apnews.com/20e46d9dc9718af75153e1d3594e2f48.
pretty bizarre, eh?.
Pretty bizarre? Nope, pretty diabolical - that the prosecutors failed miserably to properly carry out the job they are paid to do. Time for some sackings.
my lovely d.i.l.
heard of her fathers passing this morning.both her parents and siblings have shunned her for over 22 years.. about 1 week ago her mother notified her by e-mail that her father had cancer and was not expected to live much longer.of course they had known for a long time that he had terminal cancer.. last week my d.i.l.
did ring her father and spoke with him.. the only other time they contacted my d.i.l.
Smiddy, your D.I.L. can hold her head up high, whereas her family members should hang theirs in shame! So much for the JW's perverse thinking of "necessary business."
The only way that their evil thinking & actions will hit them between the eyes is if they ever muster the courage to critically examine the WTBTS and "pull back the curtain" on the org.
