i had a visit from jws yesterday.
https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5993895939276800/there-some-sort-campaign-going-on.
the opening question was "do you think that the world is getting better or worse?".
Viewpoint questions always.
When pioneering we were repeatedly told never to open with questions that could get a Yes or No answer.
I remember back in the 1980's when we were offering the blue Creation book my pioneer partner would open with:
'We've been talking to people today about the meaning of life...' Subtle eh!
a pair of young blokes came to my door @ 10am (ish) today (wednesday, if that matters).
i opened the door a crack to : hi!
just asking a question: do you think that the world is getting better or worse?*".
Interesting.
I haven't seen publishers on the ministry or even the carts where they are usually set up for ages.
great photo, doykl.

so as the title suggests i wrote a book why is lloyd to thank?
first let's rewind a little.
when i was a teenager i was a pretty gifted writer and was put in academic and ap classes for english/lit classes.
Yes, what is the title please?
a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!
-I don't study the WT, I just hi-lite the pages randomly so I can appear spiritual
👍👍🤣🤣

Sounds great!
from reddit.. a summary of changes: .
we are all sinners, so we have to be reasonable how we punish sinners.
if elders and congregation do not quickly help someone come to be reinstated they would be imitating satan the devil, not jehovah (yes that actually is what is said in the tagalog version in translation!
Others claim to believe the Bible but reject Jehovah’s organization.
God, how I hope they eventually get legally crucified for treating those who remove themselves from their cult jw organisation with such hatred and disdain.
This poster on youtube made a good point:
'They really don’t care if you fade as long as you keep your mouth shut but when you speak out they hate you and make everyone else hate you.'
it was translated so make sure everything looks ok.. 2024-08-august-edition of watchtower magazine.. .

I tried marking a congregation member who matched all the criteria in this article.
The elders made my life absolute hell.
I kept all spiritual contact, but no social interaction due to my inlaws non christian activities and life style.
Guess what, he was made an elder.
When everything REALLY hit the fan and it was revealed PUBLICLY what he was involved with, I got no apology and was still treated like dirt by the elders that appointed him - god how I hate this sham religious cult!!

Many thanks!
So like watchtower to act high and mighty and all knowing and spiritually prescient in these articles, when in actual fact they have been FORCED TO CHANGE due to being legally up against the wall with their shunning practices!!
