@ Master_Bob
Thanks a lot for this WT analysis.
i really liked this kind of articles when back in borg, because they address the issues i was most concerned about.
or at least i thought that they address, because they don't.
i marked all the deceptive techniques and logical manipulations they use as a mental exercise and would like to share with you.

i was just thinking about the odd things that arise when out shopping.. i saw a bag the other day, and thought "that would be a perfect 'service' bag as it is just the right size for....oh hang on...".
and when buying nice shoes, the thought is there somewhere..."these will be comfortable when walking around the streets...".
gotta laugh hey!
Ohh - what a nice car. .... but it has only 2 doors. Elders will councel me, that a 4-door car ist much better for taxi the fieldservice group
there was a part about pine trees in california mountains at regional convention.
the brother/organization lied about how old they are.
he said oldest tree is 4200 years old when it is actually 5000 years old.
The video "CO17_E_091_No35-1.mp4" is the one shown about the trees and it contains NOT the age of this trees.
Thanks to wifibandit for the videos and the scripts.
Here are the videos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B0tM-QjYBgTqOVBsalNNTV85YVU
The script also says nothing about the age of this trees.
Name of the script: "CO-tk17-35-E.docx"

recently quit being a jw because i realised that beyond armageddon i was going to be ruled by people who cover up child abuse, not telling the congregations by their letter where the money they donated in the box is going towards paying compensation for legal battles which they caused, and also i was bullied by elders and discriminated against for being homosexual, even though i am not practicing it.
it wasn't until i threatened legal action for a breach of confidence that the elders were deleted.
so through the media and my own personal experience, i realised that they were no different to corrupt businesses in the world.

i'm sure i am not the only one to have heard this come out of the mouths of my loved ones.
it's a very painful thing to hear, especially when it comes from the people like your own parents/family.
even after i've been told that, they would say "we'll just continue life without you.
My answer is always the same:
"Every person on earth died until today. Likewise you and I will die.
We will see again in pardise. Don't worry."
Mostly they respond: "But then you have to change - otherwise you will die in paradise."
humor plays a big part in a lot of humanity and we all like a good laugh but as far as i'm aware god's supposed word has no actual humor ,of course apart from being a joke itself ,why wasn't there a passage or something like "jesus farted and giggles broke out among them " or something, is anyone aware of any notations of humor ?
all to.serious really.
(Ecclesiastes 11:3) . . .if a tree falls to the south or if to the north, in the place where the tree falls there it will prove to be.
This text is humorous - or???sitting with my son in shopping centre, a girl walks past and then he said the above statement.
i thought it he said it.

How old is your son?
this is a question about the use of the jw library app on your cellphone.. the app is mainly used by jw and maybe interested people.
in this world of big data, and less privacy, any government can track users of this app.. it's no problem when there is nothing at stake.. but, many governments, even the more secular like france and germany, have made restrictions for jw's.. what if you are a government official and jw?
do you want to be tracked for being one?.
If they track my use of the JW library APP; they also track my postings on EX-JW-websites.
Therefore: NO problem for me as german user.
