Welp - just speculation but the 144,000 would have been filled up long before 1914 LOL

How to CYA (cover your ass) Watchtower style
by eyeuse2badub intoday’s watchtower article was the ultimate cya.
for friggin’ decades all we heard was that as armageddon gets nearer and nearer, the number of the ‘great crowd’ will increase and the number of the “little flock” will decrease!
in fact, it was one of the proofs that the end was near!.

The best part of this letter is the fact it was leaked before all of my PIMI family even knows about it. LOL. That Holy Spirit is working OT. I know before I would have even known when serving as an elder.

If you want to catch up on things in the world that you missed out on...
by HiddenPimo ini highly recommend the https://unculturedcast.com/.
they have an episode coming up on demon stories that gets into the psychology of the situation and explains so much we faced or face as pomo.
also i recommend listening to the episodes on the matrix as the parallels to jw life are amazingly similar..

Donating Blood a Disfellowshipping Offense?
by HiddenPimo inwhen i served as an elder i never heard of this scenario presenting itself - giving blood.. has anyone heard of a judicial case where a person donated and was disfellowshipped?
are there any references to this in the jw publications, manuals, handbooks?.
not so hiddenpimo :-).

Thank you Blondie and Dr Who. That’s what I was looking for. I have donated blood many times and am not PIMO since July 2019. This was a question posed by my non baptized brother. These are great references ...

GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series
by thedepressedsoul inthis letter was put out right when the series aired.
seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.
public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

Those 2 elders that Bundy did interview - I wonder if they are still Elders or are they in trouble for speaking to TB?
Goodness the Control is off the chain...

Unwritten, congregational 'rules'
by Thetruthhurts inwhat were some of yours?
the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!
these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

Why does the Borg never use the terms Grace or Ezer
by HiddenPimo inlet me start with: this is not a discussion of the validity of the bible or whether it is inspired of god.. my question is why do you think they don't use grace in their teachings when this is such paramount teaching in the rest of the christian world.
and why do they not reference the hebrew word for helper in genesis 'ezer'.
this word as applied to a woman seems more dignified as it carries the connotation of strength where the man is weak.

What ever your belief system, these 2 words would actually make their teachings more appealing and give more respect to the woman.
