Mikejw: He actually says the words that his daughters dont need him so much
Maybe that is his way of saying that he doesn't want to bother with them anymore, or support them financially. Maybe that is why he feels trapped-- it's an expensive responsibility, and he's not exactly a shining example of a responsible husband/father.
How long before the girls get a letter full of accusations and gaslighting? Stay tuned!

He is stranded because Croatia is a lot cheaper to live in than the UK.

for those that like to nerd out over jw history and theology.
you will probably find this interesting..
Repetition is used for reinforcement. The WTS knows this, which is why there are still too many meetings each week, where the same information is drummed into the heads of the rank and file. The study format is an excellent example of this: there are questions that the JW is expected to answer by reading the answer that is given in the paragraph. They are not expected to answer the question on their own understanding, but to parrot what the WTS is telling them. Over, and over, and over...

Knowing what we know about him, I really really do not want to know the answer to that question.
yb71 p. 97 country reports (part one) - "in malta there is a monk reputed to have the powers of a seer, in the confessional being able to know a person’s sins before they are even confessed.
a woman in one of the villages was having family trouble, and made a journey to this confessor in the hope of getting some hidden information by the monk’s psychic powers.
after being told of the problem, the monk said: “don’t worry about it, my dear, the end of all things is very near!” another woman in the same village, somewhat opposed to the truth, told this to her husband, who is having a bible study.
Another woman in the same village, somewhat opposed to the truth, told this to her husband, who is having a Bible study. He said: “Well, you believe it now; but I have been telling you this for months and you wouldn’t believe it.”
She has spent the last 20 years annoying the crap out of him by constantly asking "so, is it the end yet? Huh? How about now? Is it the end now?" And then laughing when he gets up and stomps out of the room.
i have been lurking around here for years.
i'm not a witness, but my in-laws are.
my wife grew up in it but was never baptized.
Errr... there's a JW TikTok?
what could be "an instruction not sound by a human standpoint"?.
i'm going by dissolving their legal entities...any guesses?.
Of course, Jesus did not tell us that his faithful slave would produce perfect spiritual food.
Wow, talk about saying the quiet part out loud.
"Hey, guys, Jesus said he would use the faithful and discreet slave to provide necessary spiritual guidance at the right time. But he never said that they would get it right. So, if we have let you down, remember... IT'S JESUS'S FAULT."

"Instructions that aren't sound from a human standpoint" sounds suspiciously like "god works in mysterious ways."

( i hope i am doing this ok for everybody.
if i am messing up anywhere just let me know how to correct any of my errors!).
I wonder if the changes in preaching work are slowing the rate of growth. Targeting faders seems like a normal course of action, though. They want to see how many they can bring back, and it should not require more than a visit or two to figure out if they will/won't.

I suppose the election results will give him something to talk about, at least for a while. It doesn't sound like a way to grow the channel, though.
