Two (circumstantial) lines of evidence for the real motivation behind the Russian lobbying?
by doubtfull1799 in1. in bro sandersons latest video (in which he shows a very impressive skill with russian) he mentions two likely results of the imminent russian ban: the liquidation of the branch office and its assets, and the individual brothers capacity to worship freely.
no prizes for guessing which one gets mentioned first!.
2. why have the gb never attempted in the past, and are not interested in attempting now, such a letter writing campaign in other communist countries where the work is under similar restrictions, like china, or vietnam?

Heb 10:34 & the Russian Situation
by doubtfull1799 inas would be expected we've seen a lot of the "persecution" scriptures bandied about recently in connection with the likely imminent ban on the org in russia.
they like to claim that being targets of persecution they are seeing the fulfilment of those verses.
but they conveniently ignore what the bible teaches about how christians should respond to said prophesied persecution.... for example, no one is referencing the above verse which talks of the apostles "joyfully accepting the plundering of their belongings.

very good point doubtfull1799. I think the government will read the first few letters that come their way, and pitch all the others. They aren't fooled by this.

Aren't you a bit amazed that the WTS/JWS is still around ?
by Finkelstein ini know i am, to me its a bit of a peculiar anomaly that the wts is still around and functioning in reflection of its decades and now complete century that the wts has been bullshitting to people .
organizations like the church of god have shrunk dramatically from its heyday of the 1980's, this too was another organization that spread and grew by publishing its own magazine proclaiming a armageddon soon doctrine and its main publication was called " the truth " .
i'm guessing some of this has to do with the fact that people who get lured into this cult aren't aware of its past, its doctrines, the people who started it and so forth.

What a great thread. I think any who become JW's now will think their beliefs are par on. What could ever be wrong with it?

Excellent job. I sure hope they see that jwfacts.com is more about truth than all the Watchtowers since Russel's day.

Two things that article said stand out to me. The first is:
"Do not be “quickly shaken from your reason” when faced with what appear to be damaging attacks by apostates or other such deceivers of the mind—however plausible their charges may seem."
Notice that it said, "however plausible their charges may seem". In other words, don't believe it even if it's true because it came from an apostate. I have known that an apostate could say that Trump is the president, but a JW will refute it simply because it came from an apostate.
Also, this point stood out: "Surely there is ample evidence to show that you can trust the channel that Jehovah has used for nearly a hundred years now to lead us in the way of truth."
So, there not counting any time before 1918? I think that's a new thought.

"Approaching Adulthood"
by Coded Logic innailed it!.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciffoxewoww.
.. also, didn't the jws say before the commission that if an adult had sex with a minor who was "approaching adulthood" than it wouldn't be considered sexual child abuse and wouldn't be reported?.

I noticed that Lett said, "It made me very happy to see a little 10 year old BROTHER get baptized."
I noted that was very carefully worded. But more correctly is should have been stated, "to see a little 10 year old BOY get baptized." Because that's really what he is, a boy.

I still find it puzzling that he got a JW funeral. Looking at his hair styles and his dress, I think if anyone else tried that they would have been banished.

What a great time to be awake
when my soul could be sleeping yet I'm no fake
when others slumber I get my peace
I make apostate videos that bring me ease
With no one to know who I really am
I make these videos and boom boom bam!
