It's all about status and rank in the Kingdumb hall. Since I'm out. Self employed and drive a Benz, I got sisters in my active brother 's hall flirting with me. "Ooh, you should return to Jeehober and settle down with a fine "Christian " wife!" Sounds like there is not enough brothers in the hall.

by Rattigan350 inyou men, who were brothers in the congregation and you were dating sisters in the congregation, did you find that they cared more about how you made them look in the congregation than they cared about you?.
you women, who were sisters in the congregation and you were dating brothers in the congregation, were you more concerned about how he affected your status & how you were viewed in the congregation, than you cared about him?.

Geoffrey Jackson- soliciting?
by molybdenum ini listened to geoffrey jackson’s latest talk “assisting our brothers materially “.
jackson presented some arguments, one of which was….jesus did not stop the widow from putting money in the contribution box in the temple.
basically saying regardless of your financial situation you have to donate.

Watchtower = 0 value. They frowned on higher education which I can be self reliant. Now that I'm self reliant, and have money, they want me to "Return" and give them money. I can't and won't help them.

Be careful Steve Harvey, Watchtower does not like it's good name "ruined " by whistleblowers and they may take legal action on things said.

I would agree on the post. He will try his darndest to get you to "Return to,Gee-hovah " even during working hours. I have seen it and dealt with it first hand. If he starts with his stuff during work hours you can go to your Supervisor or HR Dept and start a record. Tell him you do not want to discuss your beliefs with him, period. End of story. If he persists, file a complaint.

It's right up there with Santa Claus, The Tooth fairy. You get the same result from praying to a gallon of milk. 50/50 that your prayers will be answered. Then again, mostly not.

Governing Body Update #9...Jehovah is guiding his people during the pandemic
by RULES & REGULATIONS indavid splane starts off with, ''i thought we might reflect on jehovah's goodness and the way he's been guiding his people during the pandemic.''.
not once in his talk does he mention that jehovah would give all members a super immune system that would fight off the virus.
neither does he mention that jehovah would reduce positive covid-19 numbers, hospital admissions and covid-19 deaths of his people.. mr. splane: how does the almighty, all knowing jehovah guide his people during the pandemic?.

Watchtower (Gee-hober) can't guide himself out of a wet paper bag, much less his people.

Recent Annual Meeting - Asking for Clarification
by truth_b_known inwould someone in the know please clarify for me some alleged comments given from the governing body at the recent/yet to be streamed for the rank and file annual meeting?.
it is my understanding that samuel herd basically tells the rank and file that old light is new light and the new light of july, 2013 is now old light.
to be specific, herd states that the official stance on whether or not the annointed remaining on earth, to include the governing body, will all be in heaven prior to armageddon.. at this same annual meeting tony morris iii tells those in attendance that stephen letts' statement that "we're living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days!

Just love Watchtower 's frowning on higher education. It is not for spiritual reasons, but to keep members good and stupid, depend on Watchtower. But once you gain higher education (namely) the ability to think clear you start to see holes in their stuff,lies and things that don't make any sense. Then you come to the conclusion that they are parasites on society.

Leading First Amendment scholars intervene in CA loyalty oath case
by Corney inbrianna bolden-hardge, a mother of two, a devout jw and a career california civil servant, sues the office of the state controller which revoked a job offer after she objected to swearing a loyalty oath, even though three other state agencies she worked for "either did not insist on the oath or provided her a religious accommodation to it" (by allowing to submit a clarifying statement).
she sued, and the case was dismissed by a district court.
now it's heard by the ninth circuit.

Sounds like she is trying to turn a buck from nothing. Opportunities to increase her cashflow. Will she donate if she win to Watchtower? She doesn't want to come to Gee-hober empty handed mind you.
