It's typical WT tactics: it'll play the system for its own benefit and flip-flop on "god-mandated" orders at the drop of a hat when it's advantageous to do so.

But the US lost most of its influence in Latin America over the past 15 years, and the region has done quite well, with a sharp reduction in poverty for the first time in decades.
.
Read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" to understand why this is true.
Once corporate thugs, backed by their equally bullying government, are forced to play fairly, or are ejected from the game altogether, it's amazing how well a country can prosper.

IHOP #1: death by diabetes and clogged arteries
IHOP #2: death by religious zealots and an antiquated theology of hate.
I choose diabetes.

Disgusting religion. A goal of raising $ one trillion and putting one million missionaries around the world...all to spread their ignorant, hateful beliefs and infect as many people as possible with their caustic disease.
.
To be more accurate, the title of this propoganda film should read, "God loves some of Uganda". If you are gay or not a Christian, god will send his pathetic messengers to condemn you to Hell. Idiots.

God may have inserted the “youngest” planet Neptune on the other side to act as a gravitational corrective to make sure it cannot happen again!’
.
Is this why Pluto was recently disfellowshipped?

“It has never been proven that a single disease is due to germs.” Golden-Age Jan 16 1924 (This was a dozen years after medicine had proven bacteria and viruses caused most diseases)
Scientists were guilty of "running ahead of God's Organization™

What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for a while.” Golden-Age Feb 1926 pg 310
Actually this is good advice. Adam Carolla called it "Girls On Trampolines"

What would the ideal racial demographic be for the Governing Body?
by LogCon inthe number of white men on the governing body has often come up for discussion.
the negro member has been called the 'token black.
' no reflection on his race, but it just seems odd that with the great number of witnesses around the world, in such a variety of countries, that every member, but one, is white.. in your opinion, [with 8 as the target number].

The Jehovinator™ loves to create as much suffering as possible.
Why not simply have people go to sleep peacefully and never wake up when you can drown them slowly instead?
Why limit punishment to just the guilty people when you can make everything suffer- adults, infants, plants, animals- the entire ecosystem.

Even if the ridiculous story was true, it reveals that god is just a big Richard Cranium, nothing more.

Changes to Watchtower publication pictures
by rory-ks in.
are there any more examples like this?
pictures changed because a person was disfellowshipped?.

All such changes that I've known of were for judicial reasons.
You'd think Holy Spirit would've seen that coming ahead of time and told the GB to choose someone else.

Rules on blood also apply to our pets
by Splash inwhile researching something else, i came across these two comments from a wt on how we should view the blood issue, when it comes to our pets.. *** w64 2/15 p. 127 questions from readers ***.
"would it be a violation of the scriptures for a christian to permit a veterinarian to give blood transfusions to a pet?
by all means, to do so would be a violation of the scriptures.".

@ jw07: Maybe pets should be disfellowshipped for having sex outside of marriage too

If a dog dry humps your leg is it "brazen conduct"?
If a JC takes action, do they put restrictions on the dog's butt sniffing privileges?
