  I just watched it that was pretty rough. It’s a polite audience in Zagreb is all I’ll say. It descends into an infomercial for the LE channel.

  “Some of the content of my channel is of a sexual nature, but not me, about them (Jehovah’s Witnesses)”.

  I guess that’s the livestream wiped from the record then.

  Then goes into his sexual habits nobody wants to know. That is so cringe. I’m surprised he posted this.
  

  Were there actual jokes in there? There were a few sarcastic observations about English speakers and shopping malls if those count.

  You say he’s finished but I don’t see that at all. His Patreon is still at a level that can sustain him and one or two employees for the foreseeable future.

  You say he can never cover abuse stories again but I don’t see that either. He is just biding his time and building back slowly. I am sure he plans to get O’Donnell and others back on board at some point. He went to the meeting in the UK parliament about the commission on abuse and made a video about it. He has no intention of leaving it alone.

  The major problem for LE as I see it is that he now hates the subject of JWs and he is lazy. But he wants the money, so what can he do? Gradually rebuild his band of volunteers to do the work for him and keep as much of the Patreon money for himself as possible. He has an ongoing internal battle between greed and boredom, which may ultimately be determined by whether or not he is able to co-opt others to do the work for him.

  People’s interest in the topic comes and goes and that’s okay, but the drama is far from over.

  I agree with everyone above, this is definitely a deletion. The terse message leaves no doubt. He either resigned under pressure or was removed.

  Good point about the videos! I hope somebody is capturing all the AMIII videos now in case they disappear.

  That reminds me, wasn’t he hectoring JWs to get back off Zoom and back to the Kingdom Hall only a few weeks ago? In that case this would appear to be SUDDEN!

  Two things come to mind.

  Very terse statements about the removal of GB members have appeared three previous instances: Raymond Franz, Ewart Chitty, and Leo Greenlees. In no case was any explanation offered for their very different, as it turned out, reasons for departure. The closest to an explanation were Watchtower articles that appeared in the following months on apostasy, homosexuality, and abuse - a bit like the “marking” talks with no names, but you were expected to read between the lines.

  So on that precedent we may expect no further explanation.

  But the second thing that comes to mind is how completely differently ordinary JWs view the members of the GB these days, as leaders, as role models, almost as celebrities. So will they do anything differently about this departure than they have in the past?

  It’s on the JW website. Click “JW News”

  They call him “Brother Anthony Morris” to show he’s not been disfellowshipped.

  Wow wow, double wow. I’ve not read the thread yet. Wow.

  Was it drink?

  When was the last time he appeared in a programme? Are sleuths already on the case?

  At one time insiders would have given us the full story, but they are a bit thin on the ground these days, or is that just my perception? So I wonder if we’ll ever know the full story.

  On no, here’s a thought, was he attracted to someone in tight pants. Say it ain’t so. 🤦‍♂️

  Passport to Heaven

  by JW Answers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah's witnesses believe that only 144,000 go to heaven, where as the bible teaches us that all who come to jesus can!

  nothing in the bible for 144,000.. the bible teaches that salvation is not through religion, works, self righteousness or human effort.

  but salvation is only through the person of the lord jesus christ.. feel free to watch below.

  I should say I don’t wish to sully the name of Neil Young by association with LE. Neil Young’s song about the situation is beautiful and profound, LE not so much.

  Bait and Switch "Bible studies"

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  mark jones, a witness for over 30 years describes what jws call bible studies offered to the public.. .

  "they (jehovah's witnesses) offer you a free home “bible” study - which turns out to be a study of a watchtower publication with the bible brought out as an afterthought to try and prop up whatever current idea the governing body are claiming is “the truth” this week.. i think it’s underhanded.. when my parents became jehovah’s witnesses and they offered people a free home “bible” study, this is what they brought to study with them:.

  what, did you think they were going to study the bible with you?.

  I was never pressured by JWs to donate a lot of money. That’s one thing I don’t think they can be accused of generally, which is a contrast with Mormons and Seventh-day Adventists in particular who tithe, but other churches too that have collections and insist on membership fees.
