Haha! You're right; it's "Jody."
Not much better, honestly. He's still a douche for rubbing his wealth in the faces of the pauper rank-n-file Sheeple.
i swear, you can't make this shit up!
for years and years growing up in this cult, i had to constantly hear from my parents, from the stage, in the literature, about "keeping your eye simple", not being "materialistic", not "having a showy display of one's wealth.
" of course, this never seemed to apply to the wealthy business owning elduhzzzz who ran and lorded it out over the congregations, but i digress.

No, his name is Judy. I've known men named Marion. It happens.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you: The Governing Body.
I first noticed this blatant flaunting several years ago with several GB members, as well as some of the higher up GB helpers. Anthony Moron da Turd, Lett-the-Clown, etc. Rolex watches, gold pinky rings, gold cuff links on French cuffed dress shirts, fitted suits, etc. It's totally in your face if you know what you're looking at. I think the GB are betting that most JW's are rubes, poor uneducated SUCKERS who wouldn't know a Rolex from a Timex, because most JW's would never be able to afford to set foot into a Rolex AD or fine high-end watch shop. But I do. I know what the hell I'm looking at, because I've probably owned $50,000 of watches in my lifetime. Easy.
Newest GB member and real estate mogul (how convenient!) Judy Jedele shows up talking about Job not showing enough "humility" in some weird talk and basically beats the poor old guy down. I mean, WTF??? He lost his whole family and was near death, all in a bet between God and Satan that was completely unknown to him. Anyway, Judy shows up in a colourful fitted suit, French cuffed dress shirt with cuff links, and of course, a two-tone Rolex. Two-tone Rolexes sport REAL gold, and are on average a good $20,000 USD. I can't see the dial, but if it's a SERTI dial - Oh my! But I saw the clasp, and I know a Rolex when I see one. The IRONY that Judy would give this talk about "humility" all the while dressed to the nines in what would cost more than many JW's make in a year if you added it all up is absolutely jaw-dropping. (Rolex, fitted suit, shoes, jewelry. Could = $40,000, easy.) Truly, these clowns cannot hear and see themselves speaking. And in these times, they also apparently can't "read the room."
This in-your-face display of wealth from supposedly "humble Princes among men" is so over-the-top as to be simultaneously insulting and comical at the same time. I mean, you can't make this shit up! These are the same clowns that demand all of your time, tell the rank-n-file to quit their jobs to Pioneer or volunteer to build JW real estate, tell kids to donate their ice cream and allowance money, etc. And don't forget the "Estate Planning Brochure", used by your local Elduhzzz to guilt your parents into donating every last dime to WatchTower instead of leaving it to their children as the bible actually instructs. Or how about donation boxes at refugee camps? The audacity!
Here's a link to the Reddit thread discussing Judy's weird talk, and it has video embedded showing his obvious Rolex watch and other jewelry. As I've stated many times before, this is NOT the same cult I grew up in. No! This is now a televangelist cult spectacle of disgusting proportions. My parents must be spinning in their graves.
during my jw.org lifetime since 1970 (2008 we faded out of it all) i read and heared a lot of the king of the north and the south.. but about an aliance between the two kings, that was not a jw.org scenario, wasn't it?.
g..
My parents favourites were the "God's Kingdom of a 1000 Years, When?" and "Babylon the Great Has Fallen!"
They were referred to quite often during the weekly home Book Studies that were had at our house in the 80's.
Then, my all-time favourite came along: "Revelation: It's Grand Climax at Hand."
In it, we were told that the trumpet blasts of Revelation were foretelling the Bible Student conventions held in Sandusky, Ohio at Cedar Point fairgrounds in the 1920's by Judge Rutherford. Yep! Nearly a 100 years ago now, and I bet most younger JW's today know ZERO about those Conventions or the Millions campaign or the Children book that was released around that time as well. All "Old Light", right along with the Revelation book that is NEVER referenced anymore or studied. Man, that book was THE authority on deciphering Revelations, and now it's seen as an old oddity.

i have never been so convinced wts blood policy is evil and wrong.

I'm sure the Gluttonous Bozos claim this guy was sent by Satan to deceive the only "True Christians on earth" the JW's of course.

<<<< Child of the 80's here.
My Gawd......I remember the endless, mind-numbing speculation at every home bible study as to whom this was, when it was to happen, etc......thru countless books of the WatchTower Rainbow book series, which all went along with Fred Franz's "types and anti-types" made-up bullshit.
It was waste of my youth then, and it's a waste of my adult time now.
"No one knows the day or the hour, not even the Son, but only the Father."
BOOM. Done. That 1 verse puts it all to bed. It'll be over when it's over.
This verse really sums up the WatchTower cult to a "T":
Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 KJV. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
The ENDLESS study of WatchTower literature is 1000% "Weariness of the flesh."

—colossians 1:15 from the nwt says it plain as day: “he is the image of the invisible god, the firstborn of all creation.” that’s not vague; it’s got a punch.
“firstborn” and “creation” sit side by side, and in greek, that second word is “ktisis,” which means the physical stuff—trees, stars, you name it.
Next Up:
Was the Easter Bunny born of a rabbit, or did he hatch from an egg?
Was the Easter Bunny the first to "taste the rainbow", or was it the silly Trix Rabbit?
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.
Yeah, that other thread stated that YouTuber "Owen Morgan (Telltale) has 400,000 subs, or roughly 4X the number El Chins has.

i have finally sat down and read this letter.
i won't recreate the letter here, but if someone wants to share the link here, please do.. announcements and reminders.
february 2025. for elders.
Thx for the review that "reads between the lines."
As usual, WT HQ is completely re-active instead of pro-active. Everything mentioned is due to problems WT HQ has already had filtered up thru to them by the middle-managers, the CO's.
This reads like a corporate kick in the ass disguised as a pep-talk, because it is! Does it resemble even remotely anything a 1st Century Christian would write concerning spirituality, or does it instead resemble what some corporate conglomerate who oversees a real estate and multimedia MLM scheme would send out?
What a farce this all is. I'm shocked more Elduhzzz don't wake up simply from reading thru these corporate beat-downs.
As usual, WT HQ's Corporate Motto's continue to be:
"The beatings will continue, until morale improves."
AND
"Give until it hurts, then give some more!"
Agape,
Your Gluttonous Bozo OverLords
