i've been drawing back lately and looking at the big picture going on in the org, somewhat like slimboyfat has also been doing, but i am wondering about different possibilities.
so the current gb has modernized recently in various ways.
they have done a strong and sudden about-face regarding the electronic world, from viewing the whole thing suspiciously and condemning bros. use tablets from the platform to suddenly embracing them and causing the r&f to do so to such a degree that old ones are spending hundreds of dollars to buy devices that they have no clue how to use; they have heavily embraced this media for their message, very much like the churches have been doing for years, especially with their jw broadcasting and their caleb and sophia animations.
I honestly believe that all the radical changes in recent years have actually f**ked the borg in the long run. 'Oldsters' like me do not even recognize this religion anymore as the one they grew up in. To me, all the changes are a sure sign of instability and lack of real leadership. The stupid changes pushed me to take a look at the past which led me to ttatt which led me to freedom. My 'born in' kids see my attitude change and my disregard for the wtbts and it has had a very desirable result on their lives.
Hopefully it will have the same affect on others which it seems to be doing!

there are days that i drop to the ground and kiss the earth in gratitude that i was born a woman.
at least women didn't have anything to do with writing the bibble.
and women don't come up with this nonsense.
If god made eve from adam's penis, I have 2 questions,
1) did adam have an extra penis?
2) did eve have a foreskin covering her head?

i have a question for elders here or recent elders.
were the elders, in the last 10 years, given instruction to keep a copy of every publishers blood card on file at the kh?.
we moved to our current cong 6 years ago, and shortly after we moved in, the boe requested everyone update and give a copy of card to the kh.
I filed my 'blood card'. In the trash can!

of course, no one could ever fully replace "our oracle for over 50 years" (ray franz quoting karl klein or someone else on the gb back in the days of gb i in cofc somewhere ), but i have to wonder just who on gb ii has come to fill fred franz's shoes the most.
it seems like it is david splane.
he appears to be in charge of the writing department, proposes and pushes thru the gb most of the doctrinal changes (he announces them so they're his baby), and like ff, fancies himself musically inclined.
The internet will expose phonies like FF long before their insane brand of BS can become "doctrine". The younger "generation" is not as gullible as we were---thank dog!

i just spoke to my dad who's been an elder since ~'72 and still is.
he told me about a meeting he just had about kh annual maintenance.
whoever led the meeting (not sure who) announced the world leaders in re locations owned:.
JW's are certainly #1 in failed predictions!

i just saw a commercial for a new movie coming out.
spotlight - about a newspaper exposing the cover-ups of the catholic church about child sexual abuse.
michael keaton, mark ruffalo.
My 'still-in' wife and I went to see it together. I loved the movie for both the acting and the content. On the way home from the movie I mentioned that the same expose' was happening within other churches including wtbts. Silence but ttatt.

i remember growing up preparing for the number 2 talk and reading over the verses.
one time i had a chapter in joshua to read.
i started reading and i was like "wtf?

Add Lot to that list too! (and we all know what he did to his daughters!)
Do you think that Lot's virgin daughters had hymens? Bible doesn't mention any "interference" when old Lot was raping his daughters. One would think that "whiskey dick" and a strong hymen might have prevented old Lot from violating his own daughters--but in mythology ---all things are possible!

in judges chapter 11 we read that jephthah committed an atrocity by offering his daughter in sacrifice.
however, the watchtower, study edition of april 2016, reads:pages 6 and 7:not only was jephthah a mighty warrior but he was a student of gods dealings with his people.
jephthahs thorough grasp of israels history gave him a clear picture of what was right and what was wrong in jehovahs eyes.
The 'story'of Jephthat's daughter is just that--a story, a fable, an urban legend. It's all part of Jewish mythology, written by mystic old Jewish men for Jews.

anyone that is/was a dedicated jehovah's witness knows that the worship of the ''faithful and discreet slave'' is the only relationship we know.i don't remember having a personal relationship with jehovah without the governing body being in the way.they make all the rules on every matter.anyone who thinks that jehovah has any control on your daily matters is a fool.jehovah's witnesses only answer to an organization!.
"we do not dedicate ourselves to a religion, nor to a man, nor to an organization.
no, we dedicate ourselves to the supreme sovereign of the universe, our creator, jehovah god himself.
Of course the real answer is that they dedicate themselves to the organization because the organization is a real entity. The other option is just not real!
