he talks about how a group of 5,000 broke away from the organization due to distrust of government agents infiltrating the jws.
they weren't regarded as apostates, just distrustful.
he uses phrases like "their leader" and "his elders", and how they had a meeting with the governing body and made the decision for all these thousands to reintegrate them into the jws, splitting them up among congregations.
I watched the video with my pimi wife last night. My word's to her afterwards were along the lines of; "if this is truly jehober's organization and he is safe guarding them from satan, then why in the hell did he allow 'spies' to infiltrate the organization in the first place? And you gotta know that not all those that left came back to the organization,"
Silence followed!

i used to watch his videos on the monthly gb talks.
he has went over the top a few times doing one video on why being liberal idiot is a good thing.
he has made comments on the usa not knowing shit about what he was desperately trying to talk about.
I like Loyd. He's been at it a while and has done some very good stuff!

i guess it's the covid-19 thing.
but very little news from a couple of people i know well there.
they can't leave the "compound" or much of anything else.
Yep the only thing that has stopped the 'celestial chariot' is Covid-19!

there was a 50 year gap between the failed dates of 1925 and 1975.. memories fade, people die, and who cares what was said 50 years ago.. most jw's now in the religion werent there when 1975 was a thing.
even my mother who was baptized in 1974 who i do remember speaking about it back in the day, can barely remember what the fuss was about.
for active jw's who are doing all there studying online now, its practically impossible to find any wt contemporary reference to 1975.. i read recently (sorry i cant source it right now) that at the time, even watchtower may have taken the view that even if they knew 1975 was wrong, the short term gains would far outstrip those who left leading to an overall net gain so it was a risk worth taking.
The WT has already pinned it down to a date!
"the last days of the last days"
I mean how much more specific than that can you get!!!!

the 2 or 3 witness rule to substantiate a truth about a matter .joh.8:17 , 2 cor.13 : 1. jehovah`s witnesses claim they were appointed by god in 1919 ?
as the only religion that god was going to use to dispense food at the proper time ?
and to lead his people by.. fact 1.
Fact 1. .Jehovah`s Witness Organization didn`t even exist at that time , however "The International Bible Students Association" I.B.S.A. existed then ,and if anything ,they would have been given that approval . If that was the case .
The INBS was just "overlapping" the WTBTS--right?

This site, the contributing members, and the insightful information, i.e. ttatt, was very helpful as I actively began my very successful fade about 11-12 years ago.
Is it just me or does it seem like it has morphed into a more political/racial opinion battle ground. CNN vs FOX news. Actual, helpful facts about religion, it's man made origins, the bible and it's mythological beginnings , have, to some degree been supplanted by opinions on politics and racial issues!
I miss Blondie's comments/research on what the wt really says!

so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.
what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.
when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.
I'm a old fan of old fans! Their fan-tastic!

sometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.
for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.
i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.
No more "quick builds"? To be replaced by "Quick sells"!

so a couple of weeks ago my wife (who is an active jw) got a delivery of apples, oranges, potatoes, carrots and onions.. the story i heard was that the "branch bought a bunch of food that would go to waste and was delivering it".. i am in california and a friend of mine in another cong.
50 or so miles away had the same thing happen.. a few days ago we got another delivery and as a matter of fact my wife was asked if she could "help jehovah with delivering his gifts".
unfortunately she is in poor health and unable to so so.. anyway, the story seems fabricated to me and i am wondering what is really going on.. does anybody have any ideas?
I'm in central California and yes the wt is delivering food, mainly product, to many congregations. Everyone, the jw's, think that the supplies are being provided by the wt and none of the elders have said anything to the contrary!
