maybe he was a masher. I notice attractive women
Metal detectors? Refer to my post about weapons and beards
i have heard from a few ppimis and several pimos that the attendants who are stationedly-assigned to the front entrances of the borgvenues (cahs and other arenas) have been checking to see if any persons (members and non-member visitors) have badges.
on the other hand, if these persons don't have one, this is what i was told that these dubs do this: corral around the non-badge-wearing individual and interrogate he/she/them plus questioning them, "why are you here?!".
also, even if that person or persons have an invitation plus showed it to these dubs, these toy cops still do that procedure.

i noted the little sign by the doors.
that said, they had 3 people tagging my beard, but a dressed shaved person would not be noticed.
a jacket is well suited to covering a gun butt, i know.

the jehovah's witness 2023 convention theme is, ''exercise patience''...by looking at the attendance at this tucson, arizona convention, it should be changed to, '' jehovah's witnesses...running out of patience''.

TD, used by Spsnish? Or obligation on deals made years in advance. Locally there are 2 assemblies held 100 miles from the assembly hall, but circuit assemblies draw assignments from 3-400 miles.
my grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.
he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.
he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.
I am grandpa. It has changed in my grandchildren s time, let alone the time of my family who was in in the early 1900s
a "waking up", but still a member, jehovah's witness acquaintance of mine from eastern europe wrote the following lines:.
"i count among the main sins of the watchtower society:.
1. concealment.
Too long, and I am a speed reader
I picked this out; A witness's whole life is a big, edited, numbered paragraph pile, here and there spiced up
the watchtower is a manipulator.
one of the tools they use is guilt, and they use it via the "guilt trip.
" just so we are clear, a guilt trip is:.
Rat
Caregiver is our first responsibility. The congregation fails in the internal ministry.
while we are aware of the flip-flopping of doctrinal matters, revisions to how certain sins are handled judicially have also occurred.
additionally, there has been rulings created by the governing body, that has put people into situations where 'sinning' (and their disfellowshiping) was inevitable.
for example in times past, it was issues over if one mate committed acts bestiality or when the parents of hemophiliac children allowed the use of blood fractions on them.
What I hear is it stands. If the sin gets reclassified there is still the " obey " mantra.
Remember, disfellowshipping is to serve the borg. Not the flock.
we from the old year books that some kgb undercover agents became elders in high up positions.. i wonder if this is going on today?
not just in russia but other congregations around the world?.
when you think how long it takes to become an elder and all the talks and maybe judicial committees they were involved with.. anyway i’m just throwing it out there if someone wanted to pay me i am a current elder who is pima about intelligence or chance involved with the origin of the universe.. .
I remember either soviet union or eas tgermany. Explained away that the holy spirit can't be fooled so it was a test. Then the next study would be about God never testing with unrighteous means.
Ambitious wicked people infiltrate every organization and God just watches. Leads me to agnosticism

An honest look at the roots finds the ideas and dogma are an outgrowth of the American movements: 7th day, Christian science, millerites etc. Find any " truth" and you will find it copied from a church somewhere
what happens when a jehovah’s witness who has been disfellowshipped returns to attending the meetings again?.

if it's the same congregation that they previously attended then, yes, the congregation will remember who they are and so continue to treat them as dead or invisible.. one of the identifying marks a cult is that it uses shame and humiliation to control members, to keep them from leaving and manipulating those who escaped into coming back.. a disfellowshipped person is never allowed to quietly leave with dignity.
A cousin was turned down, then was asked by a bully elder what she thought would change things. She said, get you off the committee. To his credit he stepped aside, and sure enough she promptly got back
