  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  I saw an unofficial video of Freddie a few years before he died, from someone who had visited bethel. The thing that really stood out in my mind, so much so that I still remember it. Was for a frail old man, how mentally sharp he was. He must of been in his 90’s at the time and as sharp as a razor. Could quote the bible and give an in-depth discussion, explanation of it. Incredible really.

  Falling asleep can also be the result of alcohol intoxication. To keep it so tightly covered means that only a few people at the top, only know the reasons. If Tony wrote a book it would cause them some serious problems. This has to br a concern not only concerning Tony, but also that other guy who got his marching orders a few months back.

  What's the Worst Advice You Heard of an Elder Giving Someone?

  by Sea Breeze in

  i believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.

  so, they did... with parental consent.

  he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

  2. child-abuse

  the new class action lawsuit against the watchtower for having covered up child sexual abuse will begin in court on may 13-14-15, 2024 in the province of ontario, canada.

  it is not the same as in the province of quebec because the laws aren't the same.

  i don’t have more details.

  Lose of charity status would finish them quicker than any CSA case would. I’ve always said Wt is more likely to run out of money before it runs out of members. The lds has the opposite problem. It will run out of members before it runs out of money. Lol

  I’m not going to sign my name to it. I’ll be writing it anonymously.

  Like I said if they read it through well and good. If not! Then that’s ok as well. My objective was to let the frustration out.

  Dear Brothers

  I am writing to you, out of the shear frustration and concern I have with some of your procedures and policies. If you read this in its entirety. Its more therapy for me rather than a solution to the problem.

  This is concerning computer use with my aged father. Previously, in years past, you took a very negative approach to the internet. I remember been, publicly embarrassed, when I took a computer printout for a #2 Bible reading, and sternly counselled not to do it. I just find it rather ironic how things have changed.

  Although you still have the printed option available. It is due to the CCJW culture that you have now got an elderly man, on a limited income, who felt obligated to go out and buy himself a devise. That he has neither the aptitude or desire to use.

  Let me explain. Although I’m 4th generation faded POMO. According to your SOPs my father should not even be talking to me about spiritual matters, if talking to me at all. Yet I find it ironic that when it comes to trouble shooting for the JW.org website there is no problem. Why? Because his friends, the brothers and sisters, are becoming somewhat apathetic to helping him. To be honest I can’t really blame them due to his computer illiteracy. There was one young, JW, fellow who offered to help, but hinted at been paid.

  The other day I get a phone call at work regarding an issue with his printer. He had called a computer technician to fix it. Weighing the options of him been put into overdraft paying the technician, or me taking time off work to trouble shoot over the phone. I decided for the latter. Using the method of theocratic warfare, to get the time off. I managed to get the problem resolved.

  What really annoys me about this. Is how your new light has effected both my father, employer and myself. Years ago when social media and the internet were looked down upon this wouldn’t of been a problem. As soon as you realised that a great deal of money could be saved with on line content, it’s now a case of been spiritually strong. Unfortunately for most of your members, who are around my fathers age, they are now left with a devise that they really have neither the desire or aptitude to use. This highlights a bigger problem, with the JW culture, in the impact you have on people lives. Putting it mildly, i feel totally pissed off.

  What was the strangest situation in your JW Kingdom Hall? Was it weirder than siblings having SEVEN kids together?

  by Balaamsass2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this is chart-topper: "jehovah's witness whose parents were siblings opens up about their twisted relationship - which saw them having seven children together".

  vanessa, from ohio, appeared on an episode of the we're all insane podcast.

  the 46-year-old explained she is 'one of seven kids born to a brother and sister'.

  I knew of one locally. She was a super hard nosed PIMI. Her, non jw, husband, was gay. Would spend 3-4 months abroad in Asia with his BF. Then come home to her. They lived in the same house, just had different rooms. It was kind of bizarre as to outward appearances they were the perfect married couple. I believe he cared for his wife and loved her, it’s just they didn’t have sex. They had grown adult children together, and it was through one of the children I found out. They were also very wealthy, and owned a very large pice of land, in one of most expensive suburbs in the country. so I’m guessing that could of been another factor that kept them together

  Watchtower intentionally misleading the court?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  seems to me wt lawyers and witnesses cannot be trusted even under oath.. mara mitchell writes.

  as far as their family members are concerned, normal family relations continue with the exception of spiritual fellowship.”.

  attached is a video on how watchtower presents family members being treated by their family when defending themselves in court.. .

  I’ve said this many a time, and no doubt a few have tried. That Id love to see that arse, or ass, lose his license to practice. Id dear say he must of received a lot of hate mail after that. Can anybody tell me if he’s a JW. I believe he is a secular lawyer.
