Breezy - Likewise, in the Bible, the rod was applied to slaves and non-slaves alike.
I'm sure that was the culture for humans in those days.
But slavery is still evil isn't it? A loving god should have had it outlawed. Either god doesn't exist (seems most likely), doesn't care or is a sadistic piece of scum.
None of the stuff about historic punishment applies to the instructions a loving god would allow.
And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.

Exodus 21:20-2120 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. -

Fadey - I've seen Hackett a couple of times now, it's a good show. Mind you, some of his light displays blind me. Shame about Tull for you.

I'm not saying the Rona isn't a real thing. However, the politicians and media are probably drunk on the power it's given them. They will definitely lie about the figures. Of that I'm certain. Not only to cover up their blunders but to gain power.
Like George Carlin wisely said, “My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.”
EG: A relative of mine died with kidney failure due to old age. The hospital said he died 'with' rona, knowing full well that this would help inflate the reality of the figures. They use 'with' for 'of', which it isn't. It adds to the media's fear porn that they love to expouse.
My prediction is that we will be fed lies and fear about the rona so that we can be controlled more. There's something rotten in the state of Denmark!
The media and politicians are going to milk the rona for all they can. Mark my words. this won't go away any time soon.

1995 generation change
by Gorb innow, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.
it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.
with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

With the change my doubts started.
I was pretty steadfast in the cult. I have to say, this did make me stop and think. Ultimately, it wasn't this that made me leave but did make me start losing faith in the WBT$.

Ezekiel's Temple Vision Changed
by IWant2Leave init was nauseating to listen to the book study the past week on zoom.
old timers, and elders who have served for decades took the change of the vision in ezekiel chapter 40 thru 48 without blinking an eye.
just drank it down.

It was nauseating to listen to the Book Study
No change there, then.
I found the more I tried to build myself up 'spiritually(tm)' by studying these things, when I was a Jobo, was the more confused I became.
I now realise it's because it was all just utter codswallop and will ever remain thus, no matter the changes.
It makes them feel special to have all this airy fairy secret knowledge......yeah, like you said 'nauseating'.

Atlantis. Thanks for the info.
You can always count on the GB (P1ss be upon them), for a negative review.
So, basically, the answer, as always with the GB is, 'NO!' with few options.
I bet if those sexual predator protectors got money from CBD, it'd be a , 'yes'.
What a bunch of totalitarian schnooks the GB are.

If you think Watchtower is disappearing any time soon…
by Reservations inyou are sadly mistaken.. i hear people say it on here all the time, and dare i say his name *cough* lloyd evans *cough* has said it a number of times, that watchtower is running scared and watchtower is in decline….. we need to put in perspective the decrease from the 2020 report.
if we calculate a yearly -0.6 decrease over a 10 year period from 2020 figures it leaves us the grand total number of witnesses of:.
by 2030: - 7,933,479. by 2040: - 7,471,357. by 2050: - 7,036,154. i agree that this is a significant decrease, but let’s not kid ourselves, the wt organisation will still be alive and well even with an annual 0.6% loss.

Whereas speculation is interesting, I'll believe it when I see it.
Even the Russellites are still around in some miniscule form/
