I remember a few years back a District Convention talk where the speaker was holding up a BlackBerry cell phone and telling the audience that this electronic device was a tool of Satan and to avoid wasting time and money on them. A year later at the Annual Meeting the Governing Body had on display on a table smart phones and every other electronic device imaginable telling the world of JWs that this was the way of the future of carrying out our door to door witnessing, etc. I remember thinking to myself...What The Hell!

FYI the case Anderson v Watchtower appears starting on p 459
Thank you dropoffyourkeelee for pointing this out!
The Andersons' will go down in Watchtower history as being major players in exposing & bringing down this cult. Thank you Barbara & Joe...you just may be the reason why WT is struggling to maintain a membership in the U.S.A. of 1 million...and those numbers are dropping fast...thank you for all you've done...especially for putting the spotlight on the WTBTS's fostering, allowing & mishandling of Child Sex Abuse in this religion!

I think the average is going to be $4.97 here in Florida. People will start riding bicycles to get groceries.
I'll take $4.97 a gallon for gas over what we're paying in my next of the woods on the east coast which is approaching $7.00! 🤣 🤣

This communique from 'Mother' to discard/destroy old worthless WT books & publications reminds me of the words of Ecclesiastes 12:11,12:
"(11)The words of the wise are like oxgoads, and their collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails; they have been given from one shepherd. (12) As for anything besides these, my son, be warned: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh."
New & old Watchtower publications are indeed wearisome to the flesh!

Thank you Atlantis.
In the first 2 pages of the Introduction you'll find these theatrics & posturing:
"It is important to note, though, that within the family arrangement, while the “religious ties [the disfellowshipped or disassociated person] had with his family change … blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.” In other words, normal family affection and association continues."

Michael's story, shunning suicide funeral this past weekend
by nibbled inwow.
this story is so stunningly sad.
the good guy finishes last, as he has a crisis of conscience and ends up leaving behind four kids.

Yup...I viewed Michael Moore's pre-recorded video also. I watched the video with a couple of friends. We all could relate to what Michael was saying about the pain & hurt of shunning. It sounded like to us he was determined to fight for his wife and kids...he related how his goal was to keep his family in tack... all while the elders were encouraging his wife to leave him on the grounds of 'Spiritual Adultery'...Michael says he'll follow-up with more videos...then came the update from the narrator Jeff that Michael had taken his own life just this past week May 24th 2022.
Yes indeed...Michael R I P!
Lesson for the rest of us...the Jehovah’s Witness religion is extremely toxic and it will kill you if you're not careful!

The Watchtower—Study Edition | February 2022 Trust in Jehovah ...We really meant ''the Governing Body''
by RULES & REGULATIONS inthe watchtower—study edition | february 2022. study article 6. do you trust in jehovah’s way of doing things?.
15 as the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in jehovah’s way of doing things as never before.
during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical.

WT is at it again with their "we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical" reckless, scary talk! Take note of this paragraph in this week's WT study article:
"Another way that Jehovah provides direction is by means of “the faithful and discreet slave.” (Matt. 24:45) At times, this slave may give direction that we do not fully understand. For example, we may receive specific instructions designed to prepare us to survive a natural disaster that we think is unlikely to occur in our area. Or we may feel that the slave is being overly cautious during a pandemic. What should we do if we feel that the instructions given are not practical? We can think about how the Israelites benefited by heeding the counsel given through Joshua and Zerubbabel. We can also think about other Bible accounts that we have read. Sometimes God’s people received direction that did not appear to be practical from a human standpoint but turned out to be lifesaving."​—Judg. 7:7; 8:10 (March 2022 WT Study Article #12 pg 19 par 16)

The following is a quote from the infamous 1969 Awake magazine that is not available to JW rank & file. The title of the article: Do Not Pursue Higher Education:
"If you are a young person, you also
need to face the fact that you will
never grow old in this present system
of things. Why not? Because all the
evidence in fulfillment of Bible
prophecy indicates that this corrupt system is due to end in a few years. Of the generation that observed the beginning of the "last days" in 1914, Jesus foretold: "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur."-Matt. 24:34. Therefore, as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers. If you are in high school and thinking about a college education, it means at least four, perhaps even six or eight more years to graduate into a specialized career. But where will this system of things be by that time? It will be well on the way toward its finish, if not actually gone!" Awake May 22, 1969 pg 15Those children & young teens to whom this article was initially written are now in their 70s & 80s...with no retirement...without a home to call their own...little to no money in the bank...hardly any net worth...dependant and a burden on friends and family...very sad!

Wow...I remember the years leading-up to 1975 only to well! A prominent WT D.O. had coined the phrase..."Stay Alive Til '75"!
Many put their lives on hold over WT's speculation about 1975. One family in particular stands out: 1) The brother (elder) sold his home; 2) Quit his high paying job; 3) moved to 'where the need was greater' 4) spent/wasted all his money; 5) family broke apart...separated...divorced; 6) husband died 1st...poor...alone...in disgrace; 7) wife died recently...was ill & suffered for years; 8) the rest of the children are grown adults...some disfellowshipped.
This WT 1975 hunch turned out to be nothing but toxic and poisonous hype!
