The only sudden things coming from the Gluttonous Bozos are explosive bowel movements.
Can't imagine what the poor housekeepers who have the "privilege" of cleaning their toilets must face each day.

well that's sort of related to the next talk on our program brother jeffrey jackson will discuss the theme don't be surprised by sudden changes, brother jeff you have our.
attention well i'm sure we all agree with this fact in recent years there have been a lot of changes even since the last annual meeting there have been many changes some of them perhaps are a little surprising or may seem to be sudden but you know brothers and sisters when we look back on how these changes have come we can see that jehovah has gradually prepared us for each of these adjustments and changes let's review some of the recent changes we've had what changes have we seen with regard to our understand understanding of bible teachings at the 2021 annual meeting we received an adjusted understanding of john 529 it was explained that the resurrection of judgment will not be a judgment of condemnation rather it will be more like a period of probation the unrighteous mentioned at acts 24:15 will have an opportunity to gain everlasting life but their names will not be written wr in the book of life at the time of their resurrection to have their names eventually written in that book these ones will need to respond positively to the great educational work that will take place during the thousand-year reign then at the annual meeting in 2023 we gained enhanced insight into what we do know and what we don't know concerning jehovah's judgments we learned that the door of opportunity for people to take a stand for the kingdom does not shut when the great tribulation starts with the destruction of false religion at that time perhaps some will be like the egyptians in moses day who took a last minute stand and joined the exodus of god's people at the same annual meeting we adjusted our views with regard to jehovah's judgments of those who died in the flood and those who were destroyed in sodom and gomorrah also at that annual meeting an adjustment was made regarding the reporting of our time and activity in our preaching work instead of focusing on reports we try to make good use of every opportunity to witness then we receive the 2024 governing body update number two in that update we saw the need to adjust how we interact with those who have committed serious sins and have been removed from the congregation what other major adjustments have we recently seen in our preaching work the emphasis now is on studing bible studies and making disciples not on distributing literature to that end the focus is on studying meaningful conversations not just on using memorized presentations were you surprised by these adjustments perhaps so but as we look back we see how one adjustment in understanding gradually helped us with the next adjustment isn't it true that gradually jehovah has prepared us and when we look back on it we see how logical this training has been to refine our understanding but events in the world likewise have changed it's true sometimes in the world you have sudden changes for example the pandemic but often times change in the world is gradual isn't it true with regard to the view of morality homosexuality abortion even what's acceptable and not acceptable with regard to conduct all of that has happened gradually in the world and it's not until you look back and see how different the world is today with regard to those matters that we see that there have been a lot of changes but this can be dangerous because as things gradually change we may get used to gradual change and forget that there are some sudden changes about to occur uh let's take our bibles please and if you turn with me to the book of luke chap 21 now this is an example of sudden change in luke chap 21 uh notice there in verse 34 the words of our lord jesus are recorded and he said in verse 34 but pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighed down with oving and heavy drinking and anxieties of life and suddenly suddenly that they be instantly instantly upon you it's interesting to note that jesus had already said that this day he was referring to would occur at a time that we don't think is likely so what lesson do we learn from what jesus said it's a warning isn't it that we can't just sit back and think well things are gradually going to develop we know which way it's going and maybe it's not going to happen yet you know got a little bit more wiggle room there with regard to the schedule but you see that's dangerous thinking now what we're going to do is consider two examples of areas where perhaps we could be a little guilty with regard to that for example our view as with regard to the number of anointed ones remaining on the earth now for many years what did we think we thought well that number would go down and down and down and down now i don't know about you but me i you when that report came out just how many how many partakers and and what were we thinking we probably you maybe we didn't say it but we were thinking you know the number will go down down down down and there'll be just a couple of old guys in a wheelchair who will get their reward well i'm exaggerating but that was sort of the feeling wasn't it but now what have we seen in recent years those numbers have gone up and up and not only that younger brothers have been appointed on the governing body now i know what you're all thinking two new ones how old are they we know you're not googling now but you will be but you see we need to be careful about what we're thinking with regard to the number of anointed ones left on earth you see 19 years ago i was appointed on the governing body even i thought i was too young now they tell me i'm not so young anymore but do we see the point what does the bible actually tell us with regard to this well it doesn't say the number would just dwindle down to just having a few uh older ones left no the great crowd of other sheep will be judged on the basis of how they deal with

these new appointments are troubling, to say the least, especially considering the factors surrounding their selection.
these appointments raise key concerns about leadership, experience, and what is happening behind the scenes at the organization's headquarters.
My question is this:
Now that these 2, plus the other 2 that were appointed, what? In the past year? How long will it take them to "fatten up" like Mark Sanderson and Geoffrey Jackson, and the late great Anthony Moron da Turd, now that they're sitting pretty up in the Ivory WatchTower on their thrones, with their every whim and desire taken care of for them? They're not out in the Bethel Factory or even in the Service Dept anymore tolling away 10 hours a day. Nope! They're in the big Board Room now!!!! How long until we see them "pork up" and also start wearing some of the GB "Crown Jewels" from the infamous "Vault" were they have rings, coins, watches? The only guy I see not wearing that crap is Ray Lucionne, because he actually has some good taste and doesn't buy crap clothes off the rack. He gets fitted tailored suits! But how long till they show up wearing Rolexes, gold cuff links, etc?
Wonder how many complimentary bottles of McCallens they received upon their appointment? lol
with the statement in the study watchtower this sunday, that stop serving jehovah is a serious sin, the following:.
- can i conclude now, that we, (i, wife and 2 children), since 2008 pomo and no longer active in any religious activity, are serious sinners for jehovahs witnesses?.
writing this in a watchtower, a statement like that, could have big implications.. it makes me so sad.
I'm 45. I can remember "Independent Thinking" spoken about negatively and as basically a sin as far back as I can remember.
In short, anything you can come up with "Independent" of whatever WT HQ says is a "Sin", going against God, and "grieving the holy spirit." AKA: The Unforgivable Sin.
See the slippery slope they put before their followers?
"This means this, so therefor using this cherry-picked scripture and that cherry-picked scripture and then we add this many years, but don't count a zero year, and whaa-laaaa! We're the FaithFul and Discreet Slave, appointed by God Himself to rule out over the earth and YOU. We are because we say we are.....no proof needed except what we ourselves just told you above. Please open your WatchTower and Bibles and follow along as we...................
Listen, OBEY, and Donate!"
Sincerely, (lol! Psych!)
Your Gluttonous Bozo OverLords
can i call you friends, i think so after 23 years posting here.
i am dismayed how jwn is being "dominated" or taken over by a few posters, peppering the comments.
in the past, the admin did not approve of this and did remove some posters from jwn.
Wow.......I just checked and I see I've been on here 22 years now. Seeing as how I'm 45, that means I've been on here nearly HALF of my entire life! I'm also proud to state that I've now been "out" of that dumbass cult longer than I was in! (escaped totally by the time I joined here for support)
22 years. The things that I've done and seen in that amount of time in my life. The incredible changes to this cult, that would have my parents and grandmother spinning in their graves if they were alive today! It's truly a sight to behold; like a trainwreck in slow motion, you can't not help but keep staring in awe as to what is transpiring.

So it's perfectly acceptable for these clowns to be "educated", when it benefits WatchTower, but the rank-n-file are denied this same education in order to actually, ya know.....make a LIVING?
Got it.
Fuck this cult. This type of in-your-face hypocrisy is astounding to be behold.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Hemorrhoid Evans:
"Whatever shall I do about these declining Patreon members?"
(( Drops a couple a tabs of Acid ))
"Ahhhhhhh.................that's better!"
"Say, is that Gozer the Gozerian? It is! I'm looking for Zuul, for I am the Gatekeeper.
Command me, O' Lord!"
seriously, how have i never caught on as to how kinky this weird cult language sounds?
"be obedient and submissive to the faithful slave.
"may i have another flogging, mr.
@I quit!
100% correct! I thought exactly this even as a child. Back decades ago, the Governing Body were seen as an anonymous, quiet, grandfatherly group of cloistered men chosen by Jehovah to carefully guide the Flock during the Last Days of this wicked system of things. AKA: "Faithful and Discreet."
Before the "Body of Elders" were coined, men taking the lead in the Congregations were seen and referred to as "Servants", there to help the Flock. That all changed when the Elder Body was formed and the titles of "Overseers" were given out.
In biblical times, "Overseers" were PUT OUT OVER the Israelite slaves to keep them in line by the Pharoahs. They were no friends of the hard-working slaves. This same type of arrangement was also found in the Nazi Concentration and Death Camps. There were Jews who betrayed their people to gain favor with the Nazi's in order to have some small amount of power and extra benefits, better living conditions, etc. But it basically came down to them being Overseers and snitches.
"If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize." < I'd say this fits the current Governing Body to a "T." So they're aren't a "Faithful and Discreet Slave." Far from it! They are a "Governing Body", ruling and Lording it out over the rank-n-file Sheeple as if they were Jesus Himself, which in a way, they are! They profess to be His "brothers", the ruling class 144,000 "Princes among men." Proof of this? ZERO! They're in charge because they SAY they are in charge!
All of this, while they poor-mouth and profess to be "humble servants." Jesus didn't have a pillow to rest his head upon, but the Gluttonous Bozo's show up on camera in fitted suits, Rolex watches, gold jewelry, french cuffed shirts with gold cuff links, and are treated like Popes wherever they go. Absolute Idolotry! I think even Ken Copeland or Jimmy Swagart would be envious of the "obeisance" that they are paid at each and every meeting and Convention.
So yeah, the bait-n-switch that they've managed to pull on the dumbass Sheeple is truly a sight to behold.

Oh sure! "May I have another flogging, Mr. Slave?" Oh Geezus......Geesuz Christ!
Actual photo of Jeffery Winder "disciplining" Gary Brauex for his unapproved mustache and tight pants:
Might as well throw in a whip to beat your Flock with, aye Gluttonous Bozos? Truly, the Overseers have returned......and they're obsessed with sex! Just like the one upcoming article that talks about masturbation (again!) as partaking in immoral unclean behaviour.
What normal people speak in this fashion? NO ONE!! It's only an isolated, cloistered, sexually repressed, sexually starved, and sexually obsessed group of old men up in New York State.
My apologies to Angela if she comes across this........I'm almost positive Jeffery isn't a NPG........anymore. lol
does anybody know which edition of "my book of bible stories" had the fully colored pages?
i'm pretty sure it came out late in the book's life, but i'd like someone to verify which one it is..
I'd also like to point this out:
The original bible stories book (1958) "From Paradise Lost, to Paradise Regained", isn't even really an original title.
It's a combination and play on John Milton's two 1600's books of poems:
Paradise Lost
Paradise Regained
Now WT's title always sounded familiar to me, but it wasn't until I really started becoming educated that I learned about Milton's works and saw the titles and thought, "WTF? WatchTower can't even come up with original titles for their publications?" But then again, we're talking about a publishing company that lifted a photo off some booze or porno magazine of the girl in the water and placed it into a WatchTower article and also the red "Live Forever" book. Plagiarism. It's wild what these clowns have managed to get away with.
So frankly, WatchTower has never really had an original thought. Except maybe banning blood transfusions and previously organ transplants. Their unique in that martyrdom.
i got this notification from ex-jw reddit today via email:.

guys, my parents found out i was posting here.
I'll also point out:
I have plenty of classmates I graduated High School with that I'm friended with on Facebook. They've got children, younger and also teen. Some of them are very active in their churches. Why? Because they aren't total borefests and offer upbuilding, uplifting, and positive things to do.
Mid to late 2000's, after I was first married, I started to visit some of my in-laws local churches. Advent Lutheran, Methodist, etc, etc. Just visiting, kind of to satisfy my curiosity and also to see how services were. Ya know, see if Satan was really running the show?
I tell you all, it was like a breathe of fresh air! Everyone was cordial and welcoming. I was probably the only person in their 20's in a full suit and tie except the Old Wanzzz. Most people were what I'd call "business casual", which is now what WatchTower has adopted. Anyway....there were separate services for the children, teens, etc. However, they could also CHOOSE to stay with their parents. Afterwards, they had their own age-appropriate activities. There were adult classes, other types of classes and courses throughout the week focusing on the bible, health, finance, helping the needy, etc. Also, there was a printed report, EACH WEEK....detailing out ALL of the accounts for the Congregation. What bills came in, tithes that came in, bills paid, money given to the needy, the poor, assistance, and also a separate line item for their Missionary Work/ers in a foreign land. Everything was out in the open for people to see.
People enjoyed being there. There was actual WORSHIP. The sermons were def more UPLIFTING and positive. There was a focus on God, Jesus, and the FRUITAGES OF THE SPIRIT.
Now there's a long-since dead term in JW-Land. The "Fruitages of the Spirit." This is not to be confused with the McCallens spirits that flow free at WT HQ. No!
Those Fruitages are now completely absent in JW-Land. They've been replaced with, "Listen, Obey, and be Blessed!" Oh.....and "Give until it hurts, then give some more!"
The youth at the churches I visited were involved, volunteered, had fun together. They're now adults with children of their own, and are continuing on. So really, which religions are being shown favor? Which ones are displaying Christ-like qualities and the Fruitages of the Spirit? Not the JW's, that's for damn sure!
So yeah, this cult is hemorrhaging youth from the self-inflicted death of a 1,000 cuts that it committed upon itself. If only they would accept transfusions?
