Voting and JWs
by Davros inwith the upcoming elections, the campaigns and political rhetoric are ramping up.
(ramping up is an understatement lol) .
i remember a few years ago, gb member brother herd mentioned during one of his talks that several witnesses were either reproved or disfellowshipped for voting for a certain presidential candidate who won...twice.

The whole thing got the "conscience"(shimmy-shammy) treatment in the mid-90s. Flock book and questions from the readers. No idea why. Still the publisher would not be "exemplary".
Publicly stating the fact or joining a political group = disassociation. (USA).

Hard to know what to believe. As a kid I really hated the JW belief of "Theocratic strategy"- AKA- Lies. At Bethel, I found the whole super-secret "need to know" system about jobs..weird...and actually deceptive. I actually traveled to meetings and ate eat meals with a brother for months before he finally admitted he was a Zone overseer. (After trying to remember if I had ever told him any "edgy jokes"..I then thought it was weird.) As an elder, I found the wishy-washy non-answer "answers" from the service desk disingenuous to say the least...especially on the subjects of domestic violence and child molesting. I don't even have to get into what happens if you try to get a straight answer from HQ if you ask for your $$ LOAN to be re-payed. Truth...what is Truth....as far as Watchtower is concerned.

Not as easy to verify in NYC, as in most states. There are many reasons to keep OBITs out of the paper. Wills, estates, legal process...until one can get a handle on the estate and find a replacement officer. Hard to do during this shutdown, especially in NYC...most Courthouses are closed. Watchtower possibly has a multitude of financial reasons to delay, not to mention lots of elderly donors who this might shakeup. $50 and a good reason will get a cert. https://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/death.htm

It looks like a verified news source with a date and cause of death to me. The position and job were correct. What source shows he is alive still?

Has Robert Ciranko replaced Don Adams as president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania ?
by EdenOne inrobert ciranko has been a "helper" of the governing body in the writing department.. don adams (born 1925, presumably 91 years old now) has been president of the wtbts since 2000. .
however, in recent official posts (april 2016), robert ciranko is identified as "president of the watch tower".
does anybody know what happened and if this is an official change?.
