JohnR1975: He has nothing in his life at all anymore no wonder he has problems with prostitution and drugs.
Prostitution and drugs are the reason he has nothing in his life anymore.
And also that he prefers to blame Kim instead of taking a look in a mirror now and then.
in a civil complaint filed under seal and unsealed nearly two months ago, 11 congregations accuse the activist of violating federal, pennsylvania and maryland wiretap statutes.
in the course of the ongoing statewide grand jury investigation, all jw congregations in pennsylvania were subpoenaed to produce records pertaining to child sexual abuse.
so, meetings were arranged, county by county, between lawyers and elders on how to deal with the subpoenas.
How can you hide yourself in a Teams meeting? Especially one where you have no administrator access? A click of a button would have shown all of the attendees. Did no one bother to check? I don't doubt that he wanted to remain unnoticed, but I don't see how he could hide himself from the other attendees. Perhaps the elders thought he was with the lawyers, and vice-versa?
I'm not sure what case the WTS has here. They might be successful in getting the video taken down permanently, but how would they calculate damages? I wonder if there is a chance that O'Donnell will win and be able to get his legal fees reimbursed at the WTS's expense?
.........according to the 1922 "faithful slave.
the watchtower may 1, 1922 - faithfulness is loyalty.
"to be faithful means to be loyal.
"Jesus clearly indicated" and "the evidence is overwhelming."
Looks like Jesus let the WTS down again. Can't he do anything right???

645-646 wolves in sheep’s covering - "can you detect them?
how can you avoid becoming their prey?....to his first-century disciples jesus sounded a warning that applies to us today with even greater force: “look out that you are not misled; for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘i am he [anointed],’ and, ‘the due time has approached.’ do not go after them.” (luke 21:8) .
I think it is a reference to the governing body, who consider themselves as "empowered representatives" of god.

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?
