Maybe this is a fulfillment for the “man of lawlessness” being revealed?

Reddit Post: Watchtower Appeals to Supreme Court
by APieceOfShitNamedTate infrom john redwood.... a preview of upcoming news:.
jehovah's witnesses are appealing to the supreme court of the united states, but this time it has nothing to do with preaching or saluting the flag.. it's all about child abuse.. specifically, the protection (or cover-up) of information, documents, and testimony of persons involved in cases of child abuse.. i will be covering this story in the coming weeks and months, but i thought i would share some of this news and try to distill it down as simply as i can.. i'd like to point out first that watchower has appealed to the supreme court in connection with their loss of yet another california child abuse case.
the chance that watchtower's appeal being will be heard by the supreme court is slim, but anything is possible.. what brought this about?.

Yes, I remember visiting Bethel around the mid 1980s. I was told that “Mr. Coffee” was an outspoken apostate and to avoid him. He was walking the streets just outside Brooklyn Bethel. He would be critical about coffee, then change the topic to Michael Jackson or whatever would capture the attention of onlookers.

There are two highlights that I noticed. The loving provision of donate.JW.org and another book being approved for removal from the library.

Society Ditches Older Publications
by new boy init has been reported that many of the older publications are being dumped.
the watchtower bible and truck society have a long list of books, pamphlets and brochures that are no longer available either in print or in their data base on their web sight.
of course the reason is that this books have a lot of old information that is incorrect, false prophecies, flip flops and a lot of "new light" that became old light.

This is one of their teachings that convinced me to realize TTATT. If the light continually gets brighter, then why are there flip-flops in doctrinal teachings? For instance, the superior authorities understanding had changed, then changed again, and then change back, a number of times. If the light continually got brighter, there would be no flip-flops.

Nigeria: JWs boost pidgin language
by betterdaze injehovah’s witnesses boost pidgin language devt.
ota—the advancement of pidgin english received a boost recently at ota, ogun state at the nigerian pigdin convention series of jehovah’s witnesses which held from december 20 to 23, 2018.. this was the seventeenth in the series of the 2018 “be courageous!” regional convention of jehovah’s witnesses .
recently there are clear indications that jehovah’s witnesses are seriously using pidgin as tool to reach the heart and they have risen beyond the general stereotypical description of it as ‘pidgin english’ or ‘broken english.

Manipulative language
by Hendrixgrip insomeone recently included the phrase from a talk, “cherished errors”, which made me think about something i wanted to get off my chest.
the societies use of manipulative language has been discussed on this site many time and i hope this adds to the ammunition to fight back against them.
periodically , i’ll run into someone and they’ll say “hendrixgrip, why don’t you come to the meetings anymore.” i’ll give them some not too specific reason like, “i’m struggling with the overlapping doctrine”.

I caught some of those cognitive dissonance- inducing manipulations that you highlighted, Blondie, but you found some that I had missed. But I do catch more of these remarks from the Society as I regain the ability to think for myself, instead of turning my thinking ability over to the WTBTS.
It’s funny how the Society states to trust in Jehovah, that he knows what’s best for us, when they lay off Bethelites, for example. Otherwise referred to as “reassignment to the field”. They conveniently use Governing Body and Jehovah almost interchangeably, selecting the appropriate term when they want to reinforce their authority.
