This is a York, PA Fox affiliate. This is the same station (although other stations covered this as well) that reported on the Sarah Brooks case back around 2016-2017 or so. This was around the time of the Oxygen Network special, "The Witnesses" came out as well.

Older Ex-JW Attending Mass in Historic U.S. Basilicas
by TMS ini still remember the first time i commented on this board with nervous fingers barely able to press the keys.
what triggered my entry into the forbidden was the orchestrated disfellowshipping of my then 21 year old son.. well, he's now 51, with a supportive wife, two genius sons who will never see the inside of a kingdom hall.. my first wife of 49.5 years, loyal and supportive to a fault, passed away 5 years ago.. in 2019 i married a young filipina, 33 years my junior, a nominal catholic.
my life with her has simply been amazing and i treasure every moment.

Revelation book
by Gorb indo you remember the jw.org book of revelation and how many times we had to study it?
in retrospect, all those hours turned out to be for nothing, the explanation of the prophecies is now completely outdated..

My parents used to have an extensive library of those "Rainbow Books". (all the diff colours)
All the classics mentioned in this thread, and the ones dealing with Revelations specifically were cherished. They had old Bound Volumes as well, and even some of the old Herald magazines before they were called WatchTowers. I kept a few select pieces, but mostly just TRASHED all of it back in 2007. Almost 20 years ago, and not none of that shit means a damn thing. It was all total nonsense that was taking up space in a room. I have approx (1) shelf of WT liter-a-trash. ONE. A few classics, and (1) Bound Volume. The year 1984. Burned into my mind. Now nearly 40 years ago. What a cult.

Brother Jackson visits the Italy branch
by LaFrancia inbrother jackson visits the italy branch.to all the missing brothers and ex-brothers greetings stay healthy!this week brother jackson from world headquarters is visiting rome and bologna where the new branch will be built (by now the watchtower has turned into a multinational construction company and the old days are just a beautiful faded memory).the bethel of "italian/dissident/fugitive/spiritual" witnesses (active, but who do not agree with the organization's policies and directives because they are unscriptural) which has only a virtual location on the internet, (john 4:23, 24) will inform with a simple report this weekend.these are routine visits, but sometimes information of interest to the lord's servants can come out by mistakegreetings.
stay healthy!

July 2023 Study Article 29: Are You Ready for the GT (part 3)
by blondie inhad to take a break to get my chores caught up; last section: strengthen your love.
this implies that any jw had "real" love or knew what it was outside the wts definition.
many jws just perpetuate the type of love they were show in their congregation.

JW's: "Have a form of Godly devotion, yet prove false to it's powers."
Christianity completely escapes them. It's all symbolism over substance.Jesus said his followers would be easy to recognize by the love they showed towards one another. A JW Congregation is like a den of vipers!
Jesus also said the Commandments could be narrowed down to the just 2: "Love your neighbours as yourself, and look after orphans and widows." The JW's do neither, and couldn't care less.
They are false prophets and are a Pharasitical Neo-Judaic Cult masquerading as a legitimate Christian denomination.

FYI: This is a 3-part series. The last segment is scheduled to air Thursday evening.
Fox43 is uploading each segment to their Youtube account.
This is where I live. Martin Haugh and others in this area were on the 2nd part of the Oxygen Network documentary, "The Witnesses."
This area is absolutely overflowing with CSA cases. What you are hearing about in the media is like a thimble from the bucket.

WEASEL WORDS--WHAT ARE THEY--HOW THE WTS USES
by blondie in"a number of techniques employed to mislead others fall under the category of weasel words, and this article quotes examples that are regularly found in watchtower publications.. weasel words are defined as:.
“words or statements that are intentionally ambiguous or misleading,”[1].
intended “to avoid answering a question clearly or to make someone believe something that is not true."[2].

My new favourite weasel word comes for Gluttonous Bozo member Geoffrey Jackoff:
Presumptuous
"It would seem presumptuous............."

1. Welcome back.
2. You've been "out" 12 years? Whoa boy!!! Hold on, you're in for a bumpy ride!
3. JW Broadcasting really fired up AFTER your exit. This is when the switch to greedy televangelism REALLY got rolling full-swing in JW Land. It's been a real shit-show! Tony Morris and in particular, Stephen Lett will make you think you are a baby! Lett talks down to the audience as if they are simpleton morons, much like Heaven's Gate leader Marshall Applewhite did. In fact, they are eerily similar looking in appearance AND mannerisms.
4. Everything has in fact, been "dumbed down." Below moronic levels, they are now at sub-moronic.
5. Literature has been cut - SEVERELY. I believe the WatchTower is now only printed like twice a year! Maybe quarterly? The volume went from like 32 pages down to 16? The Awake! magazine I think was actually canceled! As someone born and raised in the 80's, this is a complete shock. Would have never imagined this to happen. In fact, we were always told that as we neared "The End" that preaching and printing would PICK UP as a greater Witness. Guess that's all down the shitter now, huh?
