My opinion only: If someone is “no longer a congregation member”, then they should be treated like a worldly person. JWs interact every day with worldly people. Workmates, neighbors, people you interact with day by day. If they just got treated normally, not like seeing them in a grocery store, or some other random place, greet them as someone you haven’t seen in a while, and say hello, exchange pleasantries. Whereas now, if they see you in the store, they run the other way. 🤷♀️ If they expect full on shunning, then F them.

I used to see the carts in the town square near me, fairly constantly. Then, they dropped the reporting time requirement, to just checking a box. Now, I rarely see them. 😏🤷♀️

Article: Jehovah's Witnesses lose court fight to obtain abuse inquiry report before victims
by Tahoe injehovah's witnesses have tried - and failed - to get an advance copy of the abuse in care inquiry's final report into their church.. the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses australasia (ccjwa) filed an urgent claim in the high court in auckland on 21 june to obtain a copy of the final case study relating to the religious denomination in the inquiry's report, but the claim was dismissed.. it also unsuccessfully sought all relevant underlying documents supporting the case study.. in a separate case, the jehovah's witnesses also filed for leave to appeal to the supreme court after the court of appeal dismissed an earlier bid to avoid the scrutiny of the inquiry altogether.. rnz understands the ccjwa received and commented on a draft copy of the case study in may, but has yet to see a final draft.. if its high court claim had been successful, it could have led to the church receiving a copy before the government or abuse survivors had read the report.. jehovah's witnesses is the only religious group to take legal action against the commission.. it has taken similar action against public inquiries overseas, including in australia and the united kingdom.. in a statement, a jehovah's witnesses spokesperson said it had no choice but to go to court.. "we are in full agreement with the inquiry's objective to protect children but have serious concerns about the accuracy of the report regarding jehovah's witnesses.. "child protection is of utmost concern to jehovah's witnesses and we believe the people of new zealand, its decision-makers and most importantly survivors, deserve to be presented with accurate information.
we have no choice but to resort to court to address these issues.".
the inquiry is due to hand its final report to the governor-general on wednesday, wrapping up six years of work.. after that, it will be passed to internal affairs brooke van velden, who must table the report in parliament before it is made public.. that was expected to happen in the week beginning 22 july.. survivors of church abuse new zealand spokesperson and former jehovah's witnesses elder shayne mechen said former jehovah's witnesses members and survivors had been angered by the new court action.. "they are feeling angry and frustrated because it shows they [the church] don't care.".

My guess for August WatchTower: GB claims we're in beginning stages of Great Tribulation due to World governments turning on JW's
by WingCommander inthe 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).

Yes, I think the “great tribulation “ they are preparing for, is their vile practices of CSA coverups coming to light, the “instructions” are to be not to watch the news, or read newspapers because it is all “apostate lies”. Keep your head buried in the sand.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

Sea Breeze, you are so right! They are earning their own salvation RIGHT NOW by going to the meetings, going out in service, helping with various cleaning or construction. Nothing about a relationship with Christ.

i was called on this morning
by stan livedeath infor the first time in ages.. a very elegantly dressed senior lady and a young chap.
but--it wasnt just having a leaflet thrust at me--it was a full blown "old style" presentation.
i stopped her going to far into it--by asking if they are jws--and told them i was an apostate.

Weird, you think they would run away from an apostate. 🤷♀️ I wish they would come to my house, but I haven’t seen them here in years, and I live very near to a K H.
