Trump wins
by gavindlt ini am non political and have never voted but nonetheless i have been keenly watching to see how the trump presidential race unfolds.
i believe that his involvement in propelling or influencing a leaning toward bible prophecy will unfold.
how, i can’t say but something tells me that this anomaly and outlier being trump is highly signifiant!

What is Your Favorite WT Lie?
by Sea Breeze ini would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.
surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.
my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

Which "truth" have they ever had?
Friendships always have a string attached. But I did find a wonderful wife

I overheard a comment on wifes zoom; "there won't be electricity or satellites or internet but jehovah will make it work". I wonder if it was a dig from a pimo.

Why do most Ex jW W‘s seem to be liberal?
by JaredScott-1977 ini’m just curious about this dynamic i don’t care personally one way or the other but i do have friends who have chosen to be conservatives and they get totally destroyed on social media pages for their choice.
it’s almost like a lot of ex jw w become as toxic and his judgmental as jehovah’s witnesses themselves what’s up with that?
i also know conservative ex jw’s that can do the same so again i’m not leaning one way or the other i’m just noticing factual observations.

Woops. Previous was intended for thepresident thread.
Neighborhoods tend to draw alike. The local lower income congregation here is typical innercity. My friend who lives on 5 acres in the rural has red acting people in his congregation.

Just maybe the REPUBLIC is safe for a while. Actual representatives who consider the minority view and do what is necessary to not overly harm them.
Abortion is not going away few want it pushed back into black market but neither want full term decisions.
Crimes get prosecuted and punished.
Immigrants bring a needed skill and want to retire back to their homeland. Refugees need to be real.
Pie in the sky extremist views that actually harm normal people will be put to rest.

) i grew up with duck and cover under my elementary schooldesk, the cold war, the iron curtain, the korean war, the vietnam war and i went to federal prisonas a jw conscientious objector while hippies, flower children, political activists protested and universitystudents were fired up on by troops.i grew up reading newspapers (2 of them).

JW WOMAN VOLUNTEER CRUSHED BY A WALL AT A KINGDOM HALL PROJECT
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/1skm8riz7qc?si=ww3ej9orl_91db4w.
the construction of a new jehovah’s witnesses kingdom hall in cybinka, poland, has once again shed light on the watchtower organization’s relentless drive to expand its real estate empire on the backs of unpaid, vulnerable volunteers.
every day, around 40 jehovah’s witnesses show up at the construction site, some traveling long distances, not for pay or proper protection, but to fulfill a sense of “spiritual duty” instilled by the organization.

They have a safety meeting before cleaning toilets nowadays. Hard hat, goggles, gloves, vest. Prayer? Any injuries are supposed to be covered by your own insurance.
There are still the pompous bosses. The tightened perimeter does cut down on the "just in time for dinner" crowd.
The old days of locals building their own hall with local pride are gone as is the quirky repurposed buildings. It was fun.

The 2 years was part of the school material. This guy is relatively young and fairly new elder.
I'm sure part psychology making the attendees feel special when in fact they are cannon fodder

Wowzer are we ina hurt. The local bunch is feeble, unsmart, self serving, detached to varying degrees. The better ones died or moved.
Persecution is usually brought from idiotic actions by the big wigs.
Tribulation will come from the (not quite world power) leadership earthquake in the political scene; and secret knocks into the attic will be of no use.

10/31 New York Times, "They’re Giving Scammers All Their Money. The Kids Can’t Stop Them." Has Watchtower scammed your family?
by Balaamsass2 inthe seniors in our family were scammed by watchtower, for over 7 figures.
an interesting read today to give some insight.. one of the most egregious con-artists is watchtower bible and tract society the “legal” entity for jehovah’s witnesses.
many retired jehovah’s witnesses have been targeted over the years to “loan” money for various “special projects” to further the “preaching work”, only to find they are never to be repaid.

Slim
It is pounded to use unrighteous money for good (WT). We boomers mostly want to leave a nestegg for our kids. And we witlesses ain't that rich.
I will credit one (only) elder who told a well off widow to useher money for a medicine food and luxuries because the WT has more money than they know what to do with. She felt a strip steak instead of burger was wasting God's money
