  Has Rutherford's 16-cylinder Cadillac been found?

  2. friends

  i ran across this episode of jay leno's garage on youtube today.

  all i know is it seems very similar to j f rutherford's much-vaunted 16-cylinder cadillac.

  watch the episode and let us know what you think.

  FYI: Rutherford didn't just have 1 16-cyl Caddy, he had TWO!!!!!!!

  Both were actually donated to him by some rich JW benefactor.

  An analysis of the recent 153rd Gilead Graduation talk by Jesse Morris (member of the US Branch Committee and son of Anthony Morris III)

  article from the last days newsletter (june 5-11, 2023).

  it has been said that by reading the watchtower and awake!

  magazines, along with other publications of jehovah’s witnesses, a person will receive, over a period of years, a considerable and broad education.. …would you like to grow in knowledge, obtaining an education of even much greater value than can be received in any college?

  I distinctly remember critical thinking also being referred to as:

  "The Spirit of Independent Thinking", and you had to be careful or you'd fall victim to it as Eve did in the Garden of Eden. It's crazy, because saying it like that gave it a negative slant right from the get go. This, combined with snide remarks of, "You're to smart for your own good" or "You think too much" made JW's feel guilty for using their own brains. And of course, I didn't even learn about the praise the Boreans got until AFTER I was an adult and had already exited this dumbass cult.

  some big announcement or reveal is coming from the borg november 6th, according to the exjw reddit.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/13xljaa/secret_boxes_to_be_opened_only_in_november_6th/.

  what do you guys think it could be?.

  my guess is a study companion to go with their new jesus series, they really need to rebrand at this point..

  OK, ok.........

  It's the "Study Bible" they've been tolling away on now for several years. Completed and shipped, and these are the first runs. The JW Broadcasting for November is that Monday, so it all coincides. I'm sure Geoffrey Jackson or Mark Sanderson (whichever one collects the old bibles) will get the honour of announcing it to the world.

  This is all such BS. You really think WT HQ is dumb enough at this point to ship something out almost 6 months in advance? They know they've got moles and leakers out here releasing everything ahead of time.

  This is a big nothing burger. Probably just the Service Overseer's order for WT and Awake! for the year. It's one box, because they hardly put out anything anymore and are pressured to order the bare minimum for distribution. Everything is pushed to be viewed online now. (incredible sight to behold for a once great Publishing Cult)

  EDIT: Ok, I take it back. WT HQ apparently IS fuggin' dumb enough to do something like this. WTF???? I read the "confidential" memo to the Elduhz. Has this ever even happened before? Shocking stupidity. Or maybe a way to find out moles? Each box could be different in some way, and whomever releases the info could then easily be traced, or at least narrowed down to (1) small Elduh Body. This is cult crazy. lol

  dear leamington spa and warwick elders.

  i wanted to thank you for your letter that has set me free.

  you have finally confirmed to me how ignorant you are as an elder body.. you should all be ashamed of yourselves as elders.. .

  Holy Shit! This is unreal. How have document film makers not heard of this case yet? How are you not in the national news?

  Your treatment mirrors exactly what some former Scientologists have been thru. I've been saying for a couple years now that the JW cult will soon be going after people with false claims and investigators / PI's after them attempting to discredit them at all costs just like Scientology has done for decades.

  Well, here you are!!!! This is vile.

  @ EX:

  I saw the Chan 4 interview with Vardy. In it, they said 8 million JW's. I noted it, because that's the "number" we've been hearing for about 20 years. (yes, along with 20 million Memorial attendees)

  I've heard those figures since the mid-90's. Do you REALLY think that's the case? LOL!!!!! In reality, there's no likely no more than 3 million worldwide. There's more "out" than still "in."

  WT HQ has been fixing the numbers for decades in order to prop up their false facade.

  Meaning of Elder from the horses mouth as contrasted with Clergy

  by Longlivetherenegades in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  meaning of as captured in one of their publications.... .

  elder: a spiritually mature male witness appointed to teach and to provide pastoral care for the well-being of congregation members.

  an elder must meet the scriptural qualifications as outlined at 1 timothy 3:1-7; titus 1:5-9; james 3:17, 18; and 1 peter 5:2.. elders are not paid ministers and are not employees of their respective congregation or any corporation associated with jehovah’s witnesses.

  Sounds like the sighing and moaning and gnashing of teeth is real.

  WatchTower is a shell of itself.

  El-duhhhhhz.......indeed.
