Edit: some seconds to slow (bad for the "fast" in my name)
a pimo friend (physically in mentally out) has just informed me that the cult has decided that they want to suppress all old jw org information by removing bound volumes etc from kh libraries.. in reality, all through their history they have claimed divine "new light" as a means of changing uncomfortable doctrines.
this however would mean that new jws, or more likely these days young jws, will be prevented from seeing the old light which had been held up as divinely inspired truth in the past.. truth which would get you through big a and which if you didn't agree with would get you disfellowshipped.. anyone else heard of this?
what might be the reasons (if true) for removing the old wts?.

§48. In the event that the bodies of elders decide to eliminate printed publications from the library, care should be taken not to discard items that have historical significance. The branch office may wish to add such items to its library or to its archive of historical materials.
Which publications are these? Ones - who earn high prices online (ebay)?
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.

Good one anony mous, but the fact is that we can date trees by a the system of scientific overlapping...
Thanks Half banana. Here is the evidence.

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."
