Has Robert Ciranko replaced Don Adams as president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ?
by EdenOne inrobert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .
however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".
does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Because the whole story hasn't played itself out yet. Watch. The intended cure of lock downs will prove to be more deadly in the end than business as usual.

What about sports, bars, gyms and a damn haircut?
The inconsistencies are what is so frustrating. Why is a congregation meeting ok and my BBQ party not?
"Physical" distancing can be accomplished in churches and sports arenas and every other damn thing. Do it now and open everything back up.

The ransom makes no sense
by BourneIdentity inif mankind needed to be redeemed from sin and death, why didn't the redemption happen as soon as jesus successfully lived his entire life without sin and sacrificed his life?
if he was successful, the price was paid and we'd all be living forever.
it's all bullshit, or jesus fucked up and sinned, so it nullified his sacrifice.

Jesus was just a simple Jewish man made into God by the writings of men and attributed to John. Yes, just that gospel.
Redemption was a concept used to control. Just as simple salvation endures, so do the concepts created by men according to 60,000 sects of "Christianity" which should probably be called "Paulanity".

JWs borrow from the Adventist and put a twist on the scriptures. They did so effectively with sociopathic scribbles of Fred Franz presenting in an assertive way that they had deciphered the meaning of the scriptures particularly concerning the Kingdom. For wayward and weary church goers and curious alike, all that door knocking and good news moved a lot of hearts. Look at what was happening in the world during those early days. Mainstream religion was boring and stagnant. All those rebellious hippies needed somewhere to land.
It is a different religion today made up of captive born ins, prodigal sons and a pinch of "worldly" despots. Nobody in their right frame of mind joins this religion if they have simple internet connection. If they do...they frankly deserve what they get.
A more intriguing question to me is, "why do so many people stop being Jehovah's Witnesses 100%"? PIMI, POMO, POMI, PIMO. WTAF?
Pinch it off.

Repercussions for sexual immorality
by Veryconflicted inhello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.
i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.
at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.

As hard as it may be for you to walk away and not give it another thought or action, that is exactly what you need to do. She is not in love with you but instead a very toxic person. Don't let her destroy your life any longer.
Her past and present will catch up to her without any input from you.
Get yourself tested for STDs.

Make sure in your communication with your sons that you don't alienate their natural affection for her. They will resent you when they become men.
How can you possibly accomplish that? Teach them about cult personalities and control tactics used to create those personalities. All of the negative behaviors she displays should not be dismissed but they shouldn't be fully blamed or focused on either.
Placing blame directly where it belongs, on the cult, allows your sons to maintain a healthy love for her while learning and observing how destructive the cult is. May work for you as well.
Her true nature is still under there somewhere. Never give up hope it might break free one day.

1. The WHO is flailing in the credibility department.
2. We can not trust reported numbers for any aspect of covid-19. Not China, not Russia, not the USA.
3. What is clear is that covid-19 is grotesquely misrepresented and not anywhere near the pandemic the powers that be want for whatever their misguided or unknown agenda is.
4. We have now entered a global depression. Why?
5. Everyone needs to go back to work, back to school and back to the bar watching professional sports competing in front of live audiences.
6. What is fear porn? I understand fear tactics but when you throw porn into it, it just reinforces all the reasons we should probably stay under house arrest.

Waco Mini-Series on Netflix. Powerful and Scary.
by Simon inso we binge-watched the waco mini-series on netflix.. wow, what a powerful and enlightening programme!
even if you think you know what happened, it gives you extra context to it all.
it's very well done even if you just want a great drama series, but it's way more than that.. there are of course some dramatization and slight historical inaccuracies for the purpose of story-telling but it was very informative.
