i was born in 1964, so, i was 10 when the buildup to 1975 was happening (and watched the subsequent failure of that).then, when i was a teenager, i got to see the fallour of the big apostacy events in the 1980s.during all of this, i was told by my parents and by people of my parents' peer group that "this old system won't last much longer, and won't the new system be great!
"it is now 2024. i am going to be 60 years old in a few months.
over half a century.my mom died two months after her 80th birthday last year, after suffering for years of chronic poor health (some of it brought on by a very sedentary lifestyle, but also plagued by emotional and mental issues and family drama which did not help overall.
I'm from 1970, but could have wrote the same experience.
Better then ever, and free!

from reddit.. a summary of changes: .
we are all sinners, so we have to be reasonable how we punish sinners.
if elders and congregation do not quickly help someone come to be reinstated they would be imitating satan the devil, not jehovah (yes that actually is what is said in the tagalog version in translation!
It seems the organization is delegate the dissision to avoid / DF someone to the individual jw.
From legal point briliant, for the local social group killing. Reputations will be made and broken.

The markers!
A f@cked up sect, where you don't need enemies with such friends.

Not because of love or compassion, but because of legal and money.

Instead of telling them the real source, we could say "I heard this from an old friend, a Watchtower staff member, investigator for the writing comitee who knows Steven Lett and some other GB members".
Would see the face of Jo Publisher then.

the september watchtower has already been released and is being discussed over on reddit.
some highlights: .
1. more hitting the flock on total reliance and obedience to god's representatives on earth today, the f&ds (the governing body, of course).
It could something to do with some news at the annual meeting.
Some lame news to stirr up the rank and file.

i have not read a wt for many years, but a comment on jwn prompted me to check out this one study article #19. i was stunned, they addressed many observations i have made in the "comments you will not hear" over the years.
this segment will contain comments on the section called what we do not know paragraphs 1 through 10. i will post what we do know” in another original post covering paragraphs 11 through 17”.
1) definition of "king of the south" and "king of the north.
Jw.org is a social structure now. Not more and not less. Doctrine and theological issues have the dept of a donut.
Remembering my youth days and the discussions in the 70's and 80's, my grandparents turn in their grave, and with hind sight everything we did was worthless.
Pomo now and better then ever, free!
