in fact, several "wtf"s, not least - why were you visiting a convicted pedophile after his release from prison, never-mind having any contact with him in the first place when his preoclivities seemed to be an open secret.. and the best he can some up with is "i don't remember"?
you don't remember?
there's a fucking photo of you with one of the victims and accessories to the crimes you dumb fuck!.
Always puzzled me why this grubby family has gotten away with so much and operate within a vulgar level of decadence.
They have no innate leadership qualities whatsoever.
Meet the Windsors - Biggest Welfare Frauds in the World should be a TV show,
The argument is that they bring in so many tourist dollars from those who love the pageantry etc etc bleh bleh.
But surely society can do better.
The fawning over them from some circles is vomit inducing.
Off with their heads.

The Elders will be having a talk with his parents about not setting a good example to the congregation following this article about them supporting their son on his decision, leaving the JW`s and becoming an actor.
Ironic, given the amount of acting and deception that goes on within JW, at all levels.
some people on this forum have said that they never really believed any aspect of wt teaching, that they couldn't wait to get free of it all.. others seems to have been really gung ho, believing it all until something happened that got you questioning "the truth.".
i would say my own high water mark was about 50%, which put me squarely on the fence, trying to decide if i should be in or out.. how about you?.
0%, as I do for all religions, let alone more 'cultish' ones such as JW.
My motive going in was never about the doctrine.
the watchtower is thrilled with the amount baptised in the 2019 service year.
they are reporting an increase in publishers of 103,208 from the 2018 year.. this is what they have posted under global news on their website -.
2019 service year report includes largest baptismal figure in 20 yearswe are thrilled to announce that during the 2019 service year, more than 300,000 individuals were baptized as jehovah’s witnesses.
Blessed are the accountants.
All quite creative I would say, The publisher increase would be adding the existing with the new. But what of existing JWs who just stop and are not df'ed. No way they know or admit that number,
atlantis posted: 2019--16 leaked videos!.

the video begins with ''congregation members willingly contribute their money to ''jehovah'' to advance kingdom interests.''.
So, Jehovah's on welfare now?
Can't be that powerful if he needs the kids to crack their piggy banks for him.
speaking to a pimo from my hometown yesterday.
he told me that in the watchtower study (10 nov 2019) regarding “the great tribulation” the elder on the platform said that there’s no need for jws to preach in every country in order to fulfil the prophecy, and therefore the org has already fulfilled that prophecy.
and that there’s nothing else left to wait for now but for “the great tribulation” to come.. gasps of delight came from the audience.. has anyone else heard this?
So, everyone left for their respective bunkers to wait?
Another hall sold!

It's actually at a modern indoor venue, so lack of AC isn't the problem.
Really? The TV screens must be on the ceiling.
Nothing about it looks comfortable.

not sure a snapshot tells the story
You have a point, and I did think about not making judgement based on 3 moments in time.
But I'm equally sure that the mood and expression of these people didn't change much throughout the day.
Outdoors on most likely a warm and humid Manila day. Seemingly endless talks and videos. I'd wanna be somewhere else as well, not that they would admit that.

It can be paralleled to the Army moving recruiting centres around.
Overall, it's declining. But they are shutting down stores where recruits have dried up, and setting up shop where there is a fresh, naive market for their one true religion.
