Confusion with 'Message of Judgement'
by Listener inthere has been some discussion regarding the change in the jws message so i thought i would have a listen to the recent annual meeting to try to get an idea as to why the jws are not clear on the matter, once again.
it's strange that the annual meeting hasn't been put on jw org tv to date.it looks like the confusion stems from a talk given by tight pants tony and i've written out a part of that talk.
his talk was titled 'making our blows count'.

Some more background information on Geoffrey Jackson
by Listener inborn in 1955 jacko was baptized at 13 years of age in 1968.his life story, printed in the august 2015 watchtower doesn't state the year in which he married, it's fairly general when talking about it.
hmmm, i wonder why?i've come across a recording of an interview with jacko at a hall dedication in another part of the us in 2009 which provides some further information.he married his first wife, jenny, in 1974 at the grand old age of 19. no wonder they didn't want to print it in the watchtower.unfortunately his first wife, jenny, was diagnosed with cancer in 1999.in 2003 jacko was sent a letter from the gb stating he was being transferred to hq and his wife would be given appropriate work.
he initially didn't know why they were being called to hq as he felt they were being very productive in their fijian paradise, he states that they brought 75 people into the truth.

according to them, you may leave home to do field service or attend a meeting feeling exhausted but you return home refreshed and 'jesus' yoke is kindly indeed!

Elderly ex JW calls Bethel for answers
by Listener inthere's an interesting youtube where an elderly ex jw, john newsome calls the watchtower with a number of problems he wanted to discuss.
he told the elder that he wanted to discuss the un scandal, child molestation, failed dates and ray franz.
the call goes for over half an hour and is very exposing.the bethel elder says he doesn't want to discuss the issues in detail because it would take too long and proceeds to tell him that john needs to look at all of their righteous works.

JC and Appeal of Anthony Roberts
by Listener inanthony roberts had stopped attending meetings for three years he continued to have the occasional contact with a couple of jws.
in 1999 an elder from his congregation decided he wanted anthony out and arranged for a shepherding visit with another elder, this led to a jc.anthony roberts recorded the jcs and transcribed them, they can be found on his blog.
i am unaware if anthony has made the actual recordings available.the hearings went on for hours and there was very little doctrinal discussion.

Grooming Young Ones
by Listener ini came across a youtuber 'ask a jehovah's witness' who phoned an elder and spoke to him about some of his concerns regarding children and the jw org website.
he made some very valid points.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbe_g4vkcg0he came across a very disturbing instruction directed towards teenagers on the jw website.
it's under the heading of 'teenagers ask: how to avoid pornography'.
