I would have said that it was good that kids get a whooping as the problem with kids and young adults and even adults todays is that they didn't get the discipline as children.
But disciplining because they sleep during meetings or assemblies and playing with non-Witness kids is wrong.

44-year-old victim said, stressing that Jehovah’s Witnesses should
reflect on what followers have done.
In February, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.

i overheard my wife listening to '2023 governing body update #2, presented by kenneth cook jnr.

The thing that I've been noticing more lately is on the videos and the conventions and ones giving talks are using their phones and tablets to read scriptures. No one actually holds a book anymore.
Remember back in the 90s and 2000s when there was a Question box against the printing out of scriptures and taking them to the meetings because it is a better example to hold a Bible and be able to turn pages and find scriptures.

i find a number of pimo jw friends enjoy youtube for some reason.
punkofnice. What's the problem? No attempt to irritate.
As another person stated "I can't watch any more than 5 minutes of any exJw channel myself." I don't like the exjw attitude nor do I like the JW attitude. I'm perfectly balanced in between.
this is my first post.
i am a pimo who has been lurking for a while and i hope to make new friends here.. for now, i would just like to highlight that this year marks 200 years since john aquila brown wrote that crazy book(let) of speculations that charles taze russell practically copy/pasted into his "studies in the scriptures" which eventually affected all of our lives in one way or another.. cheers.
chevelle.
Why do you call it a crazy booklet of speculations?
They used scriptures that they thought were prophetic that related to their times. They came up with the 2520 years of Daniel 4 as it was yet ahead of them. They were wise for their times and it was not nonsense, simply because without that, how is it explained that Jesus never became king when it was prophesied to David that his offspring would rule Jehovah's throne forever?
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
I remember hearing Morris on a monthly broadcast saying that we shouldn't be overly excited about the cry of Peace and Security.
I don't remember which video was that.
Would anyone have notes on that?

"Funny as well how Jehovah seems to love mainly white men who speak English"
Not funny, it's just how best communications come from. That way women aren't fawning over them because of their accents like they do with Barr, Loesch and Jackson.

None. I hate exjws. I prefer smart JWs that are independent.
i remember years ago hearing an audio recording online of a district overseer talk regarding 1975. he said something along the lines of “allow me to put my notes aside” and then went off about how the end was coming in 1975. does anyone remember this?
or know where i can find a recording of this talk?.
AT the Dec 2006 Special Assembly Day Bethel Speaker James Rayford said I'm going to put these notes down here for a minute and say something to you.
Do a search on this site for the name Rayford and you will find many posts back then about that.
