Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon 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.

“You know how I know that they're finished out there? The carts.”
by Athanasius inthe watchtower's many legal problems and the jws' use of carts in their preaching work, reminded me of a scene and dialog from the film patton.. in a scene where patton is viewing a battle site the morning after, he says to an aide about the nazis: “you know how i know that they're finished out there?
in my dreams i saw the carts.
they kept buzzing around in my head and i couldn't figure out why.

Nobody at work knows what JWs believe
by Athanasius inrecently susie, one of my co-workers mentioned that her husband's family were all jws.
the family converted after susie's husband left home, so he never joined the jws, nor does he intend to.
anyway another co-worker asked her: "what do the jws believe?".

i arrived at 9:45 am and two jw ladies had already set up their literature trolley and had opened for business.

Peculiar NWT rendering: System of Things
by Athanasius inthis morning at church i read the new testament lesson, which was ephesians 1:15-23, from the new revised standard version bible.
verse 20-21 says:.
"god put this power to work in christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, (21) far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come.".

Are you planning anything special for Memorial?
by Athanasius insince i never partook of the bread and wine all the years i was a jw, thought it would be fun to attend this year's memorial and sample the matzo and hopefully some kosher wine.
thought it might impress jws if i walked into the kh wearing a yarmulke and a tallith (prayer shawl).
anybody else plan to have some fun at the memorial?.

What is the latest on Michael Jackson?
by Athanasius inwith all that is happening in the watch tower these days, its surpising that michael jackson hasn't spoken out.
after all at one time he was the most famous jehovah's witness who ever lived.. .
