I think so too. He fits the pious prick profile. When you consider how he LIED to the editor of the Guardian during the UN debacle, yes, he'll be part of the new crop of gb in the not so distant future.

Have 3 buildings disappeared from the new Italian Bethel under construction since 2019? What happened to them?

by LaFrancia in

if anyone knows more, a comment is welcome.

if you visit the official jw website and search for bologna it will take you to some articles and 1 video.

the site shows a building completed in 2020 with 41 apartments, there is a photo with alleged bethelites looking out from the balconies and waving.

It sounds like they ran out of money, I was quickly reading on the Italian blog that contribution boxes have been set up exclusively for the Bologna project.

Here is the proffered lofty branch. Looks like the Italians want to compete with Warwick

i'm interested to know the age demographics here.

it must be significantly different to other exjw forums.

it would be a damning report for watchtower if most of us appear to have left for decades.. you don't have to mention your exact age, you could always say "in my 50s".. i am in my 70s.

Old enough to remember 1975

These days I seem to talk more to ChatGPT than my husband

For fun, today I asked: why was the Aug. 2024 watchtower deleted? Below is the response.

The August 2024 issue of the "Watchtower" magazine was withdrawn due to internal controversies and significant content concerns. Reports suggest that the issue included sensitive material, particularly surrounding updates on disfellowshipping practices.

There has been ongoing pressure on Jehovah’s Witnesses to modify their approach to disfellowshipping, especially in light of legal challenges and societal pressures in various regions, such as Europe and Japan [oai_citation:1,The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes](https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4847505582325760/august-2024-watchtower-controversy-potential-further-changes) [oai_citation:2,2024 Governing Body Update #3 - Page 6 - Encouragement for the Worldwide Brotherhood - JWTalk - Jehovah's Witnesses Online Community](https://jwtalk.net/topic/57942-2024-governing-body-update-3/page/6/).

Additionally, some speculate that the content might have been deemed embarrassing or required significant revisions, prompting the leadership to halt its release temporarily. This situation mirrors past instances where controversial or problematic content led to similar actions [oai_citation:3,The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes (page 6)](https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4847505582325760/august-2024-watchtower-controversy-potential-further-changes?page=6).

The exact nature of the problematic content has not been publicly disclosed, and the organization has not provided an official detailed explanation. For more in-depth discussions and perspectives on the matter, you can explore further details on forums like [JW.org](https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6445429145395200/august-2024-watchtower-controversy-potential-further-changes) and [JWTalk](https://jwtalk.net/topic/51212-august-2024-watchtower-delayed/).

episode 1 of jesus christ series set for release at gfl memorial gardens june 14 – 16th.

in new south wales, australia, there exist replicas of regions once visited by the most notable prophet who ever lived.

I can remember being embarrassed to use the name "Jesus" because we didin't want to resemble the born again christians. Look at them now.

I am wondering if they are trying to imitate the series, the Chosen.

Where is Tony?

by Athanasius in

jw
friends

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.

wannaexit

Tony is probably sun tanning somewhere nice and warm.
