Today Dr. Peter McCullough said 'conspiracy theory' (which is in the April 2024 Watchtower) is a propaganda term! 😲

"misinformation, disinformation, science, this antiscience, uh conspiracy theory, these are propaganda terms.".

'don't use them' he says.

Yes, one can be disfellowshipped for talking about 'safe and effective,' “conspiracy theories,” according to Vicky.

'Vicky Hobbs 8mo

'My husband and I were subject to three pre-judicial visits from elders after we were reported talking about “conspiracy theories” over several years in different congregations.

We were accused of “potentially” dividing the congregation (we spoke to a couple of friends, that’s all).

Finally we were accused of being trouble makers when we pointed out to one elder that covid was not a deadly global pandemic and the vaccines had not been proven safe and effective.

Shortly after this we were disfellowshipped. You can say what you like but although theoretically you are allowed free speech in the organisation you are not.

I despise the untruths that JWs tell on this forum. Maybe they seriously believe them, but if you are reported to be talking about anything viewed as anti establishment you are marked and you can be disfellowshipped - probably on trumped up charges like we were.

Just be honest, please! If you think that this is not a high control religion you are seriously kidding yourselves.'

Will Watchtower ever release all $ documentation for their not being neutral on Covid-19 Vaccines?

Do they password protect their computer? How many KHs use 1914 as a password to get into their KH?

How many use 1914 as a password 4 cc/debit cards?

'A Memorial Service will be held for Nancy on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at 3:00 p.m., at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 2885 Hann Hill Road, Hermitage, PA 16148.

New immigrant in New York State?

by was a new boy in

“state agencies have found 4,000 vacant positions in an effort to put illegal immigrants into the state’s workforce, according to a memo by the new york department of civil service, which was approved earlier this month.'.

in the memo, new york officials identified three barriers preventing illegal immigrants from getting those state jobs.

to address these barriers, the civil service department said it would create positions in ‘transitional’ titles with requirements ‘more in line with the candidates’ qualifications.’ in other words, illegal immigrants would be hired into the same positions while, at least temporarily, having the usual qualifications such as english proficiency, proof of education, and previous employment waived for them.”.

the ultimate goal

USA neocons need bodies to fight in Ukraine, after the Nov. election

'With all the military age men in the migrant population, maybe they’d be willing to fight in Ukraine to earn their Polish or Ukrainian citizenship.'

Is the Awake magazine still published?

'In 2022, publication was reduced to one new issue per year.'

Since Jehovah's Witnesses wanted to forget about the Awake magazine, seems some Catholics liked the name.

NEW YORK—Two video news releases featured in the Newsroom section of jw.org were recognized at the 36th Annual Telly Awards. News Update: Jehovah’s Witnesses Moving Forward and Stanley Theater Renovation each won a 2015 Bronze Telly Award in the “Online Video News Feature” category.

Jared Kushner, CEO of Kushner Companies, as seen in the online video News Update: Jehovah’s Witnesses Moving Forward.

News Update: Jehovah’s Witnesses Moving Forward reported on the Witnesses’ October 2, 2013, sale of a five-building complex in Brooklyn, New York, to RFR and Kushner Companies, part of the eventual move of their world headquarters from Brooklyn to Warwick, New York. The video news release featured excerpts from an interview with Jared Kushner, chief executive officer of Kushner Companies. Commenting on working with the Witnesses, Mr. Kushner stated: “A handshake means something with the Witnesses. It’s much easier to transact with a group where there’s a high level of trust.”

Architectural historian and author Richard Polton, as seen in the online video Stanley Theater Renovation.

Stanley Theater Renovation documented the Witnesses’ six-month renovation of the historic Stanley Theater in Jersey City, New Jersey, which reopened on April 13, 2013. This video news release featured Witnesses who traveled at their own expense and volunteered to work on the project. It also featured comments from Richard Polton, an architectural historian and author, who spoke on the historical significance of the building and the Witnesses’ meticulous preservation of the building’s character. “This was one of the premiere theaters in the New York metropolitan area,” Mr. Polton stated. He also described the theater’s renovation by Jehovah’s Witnesses as “a heartening example of what can be done with one of the great buildings by an organization that’s really committed to use it and use it to the maximum without destroying its architectural character.”

Both videos are available for download from the Newsroom section of jw.org, which features news releases and video news items as official information resources to assist media and academic professionals.

The Telly Awards were founded in 1979 to honor outstanding television commercials and programs, video and film productions, and web videos and films. The field for 2015 was made up of over 12,000 qualifying entries produced between 2013 and 2015. “The Telly Awards has a mission to honor the very best in film and video,” said Linda Day, executive director of the Telly Awards. “The Witnesses’ accomplishment in the jw.org Newsroom illustrates their creativity, skill, and dedication to their craft and serves as a testament to great film and video production.”

A talk about 1975 from 1972

by Nostromo in

everybody knows the famous "stay alive still 75" audio clip but here is a clip from 1972 with english subtitles.

harold mouritz was the branch committee member in finland when he gave this talk.

later he became the coordinator of the australian branch.

was a new boy

Did he also have the scoop on Theodore (Ted) Jaracz?

'A further change took place in branch administration with the arrival of Brother Harold V. (Viv) Mouritz and his wife, Ann, on September 1, 1981.

Brother Mouritz had served in the Australian Bethel as a young man prior to his marriage in the early 1950’s and then shared in circuit work and other full-time activity before attending the 33rd class of Gilead in 1959.'

https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/301983003

'In July 1946, at the age of 20, Ted graduated from the seventh class of the Watchtower Bible School of Gilead. After that, he served as a traveling overseer in Cleveland, Ohio. Some four years later, he was assigned to serve as branch servant in Australia.

After some five years in Australia, Ted returned to the United States and then came to pioneer in Vancouver. We were married on December 10, 1956'

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/w20150915/melita-jaracz-blessing-in-life/

'Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia president Harold Mouritz told AAP church elders did not instruct victims to stay away from the police.

During sentencing Judge John Goldring criticised the lack of action by the Jehovah’s Witness, officially known as the Watchtower and Bible Tract Society, after Souter admitted the offences to church elders.'
