Don't be fooled. For as long as the religion endorses shunning, treats women as 2nd class human beings who should be in 'subjection' to their husbands, indoctrinates it's members with prejudice against gay folks, preaches anti-science and abuses the minds of children with a demons/Armageddon worldview it is still harmful and must be countered, however mainstream it may appear.

JWLITE
by Teddnzo ineven elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

EasyPrompt: Real science and the Bible show the Flood was real.
Sigh..
1. Geology: The Earth's geological record does not show evidence of a global flood. There is no widespread layer of sedimentary rock that would be expected if the entire planet were once submerged.
2. Fossil Record: The fossil record reveals a continuous sequence of life forms, with no evidence of a sudden mass extinction event that would be expected from a global flood.
3. Lack of Genetic Diversity: If all animals were descended from those on Noah's Ark, we would expect to see a severe lack of genetic diversity among species, which is not the case.
4. Lack of Water: The amount of water required to flood the Earth to the highest mountains would be far greater than what is available in Earth's oceans and atmosphere.
5. Lack of Historical Records: There is no historical or archaeological evidence from other civilizations to support a global flood.
6. Animal Migration: Attempts to explain how animals from all over the world could have traveled to the Middle East to board the Ark and then returned to their habitats post-flood have consistently failed. They are funny though.
The Biblical flood of Noah is a fable, a myth. It's not history. Get over it.

Jesus this, Jesus that. I think I could legitimately compare Jesus to a Nazi sympathizer.
Go on, dare me.

How is Zoom even an option anymore? It's almost three years since the last lockdown in the UK and they still haven't given it up?
Cult leaders ain't what they used to be.

It does feel as though a corner in this whole sordid story has been turned. I hope so, I for one am getting bored and tired of the whole thing. Don't misunderstand me, for as long as he continues to advocate for CSA victims I'll speak up as so many of us have but it really does seem as though he's sliding into stagnation and irrelevance.
I guess he'll maintain a hardcore of supporters who'll keep him funded for a few years more but it's all only going one way now.

There's no tragedy so appalling that the religious nutjobs won't come out with their scriptures and 'explanations'.
People are being gunned down, kidnapped and terrorised but hey, read these verses!!
Fuck off.

EasyPrompt, I'm not in any pain but thanks for your concern.
Kosonen. You mention Adam and Eve and the paradise that was lost. Can I ask if you consider the rest of Genesis to be historical too?
