    Your comment at 21:11 reminded me of the video by the 'Blue Envelope' channel about "Jehovah, the God of Real Estate"...

      I agree, Blue Envelope's channel, Phil, did an awesome job developing that topic in his video, I might add, no doubt about it, and the 1945 wt charter states JEHOVAH is under God and Christ Jesus, ha! An invisible cult leader with the big buck$ and prime real estate. How much will they $ell/flip that beauty for? Just sayin'.

    Hey Stacey! So good to hear your voice, especially your laughter again. I hope you enjoyed your break. I saw this update and couldn’t help thinking when King Cooke said these J-dub actors don’t seek fame or glory for themselves that it was another one of their veiled warnings. “Hey! Don’t you dare seek fame or glory for yourself!” They can’t have their followers stealing the limelight from them. Also, I was not aware the Bible autographing they did was actually in one of their magazines. Someone only told me they did it. It’s disgusting that they gave a talk with only a few minutes about the prisoners, then dedicated so much more of it to their future Pseudo-Hollywood! Great podcast! You’re kicking ass as usual!

    Welcome back Stacy. Hope you enjoyed your well deserved break. Well, what a podcast this was. You didn't disappoint talking about the craziness of JW land. This organisation gets more and more bazar on a daily basis. The GB have completely lost the plot in my opinion, and have their priorities all wrong, and deluding themselves that God is approving of it all. Everything about that update is totally insane to me. They are no different than so called Christendom. You did a great job of disecting this update and showing what an absolute joke this organisation is.
    Great to have you back Stacy, and look forward to your next one. 👍

    The Ramapo project contributed mightily to me exiting the org 2 years ago. When they announced it in 2019, the finish date was 2026. So... why would Jesus green light a project built with the money of hardworking JW's that would be completed in 7 years unless Armageddon was coming after it was completed? And well after 2026 because we have to get some use out of it right? Listen, I allowed myself to be duped for 49 years and I take responsibility for keeping my blinders on, but at this point, I can't see how any JW can remain PIMI in this sideshow of a religion.

      I’m so sorry that you went through that, I myself am a raised in longtime exjw. For various reasons my wife and I had a much easier time just walking away back in the 80s. And we both endured, and heard of, much less drama than is now being exposed about the wt. We left for simpler reasons…
      Be that as it may, don’t let yourself be reduced to passive acceptance of your circumstances whatever they may be. There are sources available for some real help if that’s what you’re seeking.

    Now the GB know THEY are celebrity's 🤸🕺and want to keep it that way (no competition, thanks).
    Maybe partly why Tony was quietly retired? He was a natural stage man and knew it. His bizarreness was his liability. 😮

    Do as I say, not as I do.
    I've personally seen bros n sis line up in Perth to meet n greet a fellow visiting bro giving an assembly part.
    I personally knew this bro myself from the book study days in my parents house when we lived close to the old bethel.
    I went over to say hello to him but was SHOCKED to see so many Perth bros n sis line up to greet him as a celebrity.
    It made me realize these bros here dont get to see bethelities etc on a regular basis n so when they did (it was like celebrity had come to town).
    No internet then, so as u said none of knew anything about the gov body.
    I lived near the old stratified bethel n many times these bethelite bros n sis joined our cong.
    We were invited there to do (i dealize now slave labour) gardening or whatever our assignment was as a young teenager.
    Honestly these people r just like us, no different.
    But like Alist movie stars n musicians humans seem to need to worship humans.
    I honestly feel the gb know this novel it. They don't want u to idolise the ros playing the characters in the movies.
    They want the glory n worship for themselves.
    I've heard of young jw africian ones with posters of the gb above their beds.
    Signing autographs, bibles. Taking pi s of themselves with the bros n sis so that they inturn place their fridge; they know exactly what they r doing n loving every minute of their celebrity status.
    Tony Morris must miss this immensely n i don't think G Jackson felt like a celebrity when he was forced to trstify at the Royal Commission in Australia. Same their head lawyer. His name has slipped my mind.
    Head down totally embarrassed the whole time. But not at Bethel himself. He was the go to man.
    But after the royal comm he disappeared.
    Retired in embarrassment n shame or was demoted out.
    Who knows.
    Very hard to stay humble n serve your bros as jesus instructed when your the leaders n all power is in your hands for the good or bad (hiding csa n disfellowshipping (removing) people from their families.
    Did any of them ever start out humble wanting to serve their bros n sis br position, power n control took over?
    Would any of them in a blind know of an eye swap places with those bros n sis rotting in jail.
    They tell their members to be prepared to die for their bros n sis.

Here is something about your favorite guy Noah that I never heard anyone comment on: How is it that Noah lived for 600 years before the Flood, and only had 3 children? Three boys. Didn’t his wife want to try again for a daughter? Assuming his wife was pretty close to his age, and he lived for 330 years after the Flood, why didn’t they have more kids? At what age did the child bearing years end back then? Why leave the populating of all the earth to just his three sons? Why not try and help out?
