Nothing's changed. It's the same rhetoric I was made to listen to when I was a kid and a tape of Charles Sinutko's "Stay alive till 75" assembly talk was played in New Zealand KHs.

INSANE last days speculation in 10/2019 WT
by neat blue dog inthe october 2019 study edition, speaking of the last days after the governments destroy all religion except jws:.
at some point, the people whose re-ligions were destroyed may resent thefact that jehovah’s witnesses keep prac-ticing their religion.
we can only imag-ine the uproar that this might create, in-cluding on social media.

Smuggling
by lastmanstanding inthe international assemblies are on... and the missionaries are coming home... and leaving richer.. i have, in all seriousness, been told by a co that the missionaries going home have large sums of money hidden in their luggage as they go back to their assignments.
.
he related how one couple was almost caught with the undeclared cash as they passed through customs.. this has been going on for quite some time, the watchtower using missionaries are mules.. i bet with all the kingdumb hall sales the pace has picked up..

Many cults have tricks like this and probably copied from each other's success stories. I'd be surprised if it wasn't true.

Repercussions over Whiskygate?
by eyeslice2 inanyone any idea if there have been any repercussions over whiskygate and if anthony morris was ushered into the backroom after a meeting?
i am pretty sure if this had been a member of the r&f and the video was all over the internet, something would have been said about being careful not to bring jah's organization into disrepute.
i am sure the local elders in the congregation he is assigned to wouldn't have the balls to do it and there would have to be a mole pretty high up to find out if the gb got involved.. we can but speculate i guess..

I have no idea why this got any traction at all. It's not like he's a Mormon or an SDA and is breaking the church's rules. Search for images of Rutherford happily on the booze with his companions. Harping on about it this just gives Apostates a bad name as nit pickers, etc..

OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders
by Listener inthere is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.
what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.
since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

This isn't new, it's just being repeated. It wasn't new when I was being raised by the Dubs sixty years ago and I'm sure the history of that doctrine has been discussed more than once on this forum.

2010-01-21-BOE is only about those in a position, not about parents in general, so don't go using it as proof of what you thought you read somewhere, HiddenPimo.
Unless there is something fairly recent that I don't know about, I don't think you will find what you are looking for.

Do You For The Most Part Trust The News Media?
by minimus inthe media is very powerful.
many news people just want to get a scoop even if their breaking story isn’t checked out for accuracy.
some journalists are precise and double check whatever they are reporting.

I got a wake up call that not everything is all as kosher as it seems when I called out the NZ Prime Minister for making a clearly false statement on an emotional public issue where he would have looked like a right plonker if the truth was known. The media managed to erase my link to the site with the relevant facts so quickly that by my next refresh of the screen my comment had disappeared.
