OMG, that is absolutely SINISTER and down-right blasphemous! It's changes like this combined with the control, money grab, the very real passage of time (not even supposed to still be in this Old System of Things in 2025!) that have solidified the fact that I was born and raised in a cult. I feel so bad for my late parents whom were exposed and then finally suckered in the mid-70's into this cult. SMH. What a waste of time and youth.

Loyalty to the Governing Body? Timeline to Change
by blondie inhttps://jwfacts.com/watchtower/governing-body.php .
here is an example how the wts has "adjusted" scripture.
the governing body has gone as far as to change the text of micah 6:8 in their 2013 new world translation of the holy scriptures (nwt) in order to be able to demand loyalty.

Did the Fred Franz style of writing cease after he died?
by SydBarrett ini was completely out by 1991 and 1989 would have been the last time i had to attend regularly.
that over the top franz writing style was still there in the 1980's although i've heard he wasn't actually doing much writing by then.
but his style was definitely picked up and imitated for many years beyond its wacky, outlandish peak of the the 50's - 70's.

Honestly, you can really see the downhill slide of the literature after Fred Franz's death in 1992. The Writing Dept was able to recycle his stuff for about a decade and limp it along, but honestly the jig was up. Especially after 1995's "Generation" change.
I can honestly look back right at the point and time and state with confidence, "It was over, they just didn't know it."
GB 1.0 and the new 2.0 with Splain, just don't have the old writing chops to be "The Oracle." Combine this was a younger "generation" who couldn't care less about the previous World Wars and weirdo math combined with types and anti-types nonsense, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
And so it is, that the JW's will very shortly, soon! Any day now! Look like any remaining Congregation of Christadelphians. (if you can find one, that is) - full of grey hairs and ZERO youth. Oh sure, the Kings at the top will hold out for a few decades up on their compound by the lake living off their investment and hedge funds, but that's about it. It's all over. Will the last goat out, switch off the ol' light? lol

I always had to laugh at the "We don't have clergy" claim, even as kid growing up in it. Oh sure! Care to test that claim? Just start questioning the Elduhz or the CO's or complaining in any fashion, and find out damn quick who Lords it over you in the Congregation! You'll be asked to the back room for a "meeting to adjust your bad attitude and/or thinking."
"No clergy", my ass! lol

Good!
I agree with the above where someone asked, "Why does WT need a Law forcing them to do the right thing?"
Why indeed! Because in WT-Land, it's all about covering shit up and not bring reproach upon Jah's name...blah blah blah. AKA: not bring bad publicity upon themselves. However, they are so stupid as to not see that by NOT simply reporting these CRIMES, that they are making it all so much worse for themselves!
I'll never forget Sarah Brooks brother, Robert, stating to the journalist in an excerpt of the Oxygen special:
"It doesn't cost anything to do the right thing."
Indeed. WT HQ is now paying for doing the wrong thing. Death by 1000 lawsuits is fitting.

"Phone Witnessing" became even bigger during COVID. Before, it was simply for the elderly or infirm that couldn't pound the pavement or stand by a cart. But once COVID hit, a lot of people switched to the "convenience" of it and never went back.
I've gotten calls (random stranger JW's) as well as a letter inviting me to the CONvention the other summer. (the one with Lett's "Little enemies of Gawwwwd" comment)
I used both as opportunities to "fine witness" to these clowns with some real hard-hitting "truth about the truth." My favourite was the letter I got from a local elderly lady. She made the mistake of using her home address instead of the Kingdumb Hell address. I used the Kingdumb Hell address as the "sent by" address, hence masking my identity. I found out she's like 70 years old. She got a 10 page typed letter from me outlining my life raised in this cult, the WT's UN involvement, real estate money grab, CSA lawsuits which are easily found using Google, filling her into as to why so many "yanng onezzzz" are leaving, and also further detailing the child sexual abuse that was apparently all around me in the Congregations I grew up. I also told her how this is NOT the religion I was born and raised in, it was now a money-grubbing televangelist real estate CULT, and that I would be embarrassed to even be associated with the JW's today with all that's changed and going on. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall of that woman's room when she read thru that one! lol

Lloyd confronting Tony Morris would be hysterical. I think I'd pay money to see that. You can bet Tony was shown Lloyd's "Bottlegate" Youtube video by someone either at WT HQ (in response to him being out buying booze on a Sunday morning) or even possibly by his sons, after being questioned about his behaviour by numerous sources/Bethelites. I'd find it hard to believe Tony wouldn't be aware of that segment. (which in all honesty, was probably Lloyd's greatest segment, and I enjoyed it - no lie!)
Tony Morris, being ex-military and a Vietnam Veteran, would most likely stomp the shit out of LadyBoi Evans. Even intoxicated, Fat Tony would win big. Lloyd would fold in half and go into the fetal position on the ground and ask for his mommy. Tony would then unzip and piss on him while laughing manically. The End.

All the anti-vaxx nutters on here I'm betting have NEVER seen, much less lost a family member to:
1. Small Pox
2. Polio
3. Malaria
4. Yellow Fever
Why? VACCINES!
While there is definite scientific studies about aluminum contributing to Alzheimer's, it's due to prolonged exposure (like with underarm deodorant and cooking/eating utensils). As a result, more and more deodorants are going "aluminum free."
I'm shocked Simon allows this crazy ass shit on here. And I'm actually quite health conscious about eating organic, not using additives, eating NONGMO foods, etc.
This anti-vaxx shit is crazy as fugg! Sure everyone can decide for themselves whether or not to have it, but stating it CAUSES death? In a fraction of already immune compromised people, or elderly near death already, sure! Asprin also kills several people around the world each year. What, you're not going to ever take an Asprin? lol.
Put on your tin foil (not aluminum) hats and crawl back into your cave. Derp-Derp!

I laugh my ass off when someone asks about him on the EX-JW Reddit forum, and almost immediately his shenanigans are brought up. AKA: Trips to Thailand for underage hookers with patreon funding, behind his wife's back, and constant money-grubbing and victim shaming.
Oh sure, you've got a few of his paying trolls who post that "I don't care what he does in his personal life, he's done sooooooo much goooooood with his Youtube videos", but they are few and far between and pretty much shot down by everyone else with 2 brain cells and an ounce of humanity for his ex-wife's and children's feelings.
This fraud's goose is cooked; he's done, gone, a total has-been, except that he never-was, he was a wanna-be Ray Franz and even at that, wouldn't be fit to carry Ray's jock strap. A fart in the wind.
Why oh why, does his smell have to linger? lol
