Does anyone know where I can purchase JW GB approved and spiritually safe pillows?

No comment... LOL
 

 
With all the focus on the new anti-masturbation vide telling all Bethelites not to sleep inappropriately with a pillow, surely this has to be the very item that will send the GB into fits of despair??

Recently some secret “eldersÂ’ training videos” that are going to be used for the 2018 Kingdom Ministry School of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses were leaked online. One particular video was very disturbing; it showed a skit of three elders discussing what the religion calls “regular pioneers.” These are persons who spend a high amount of time in the preaching and proselytizing work of JehovahÂ’s Witnesses; in 2018, these pioneers were required to report a total of 840 hours for the year, equaling 70 hours per month.
The elders, in this demonstration, are discerning if three such pioneers in their congregation should be allowed to remain as pioneers, as each one has failed to meet that hourly requirement for the past year.

Despite this outright instruction to think of themselves as equals, Jehovah’s Witnesses and their elders dole out this position of pioneer, blatantly elevating it above other “publishers,” or congregation members. This is demonstrated when the men in the skit read a letter sent to all elders, dated May 1, 2017, which discusses how to handle various scenarios of pioneers who cannot meet their hours. The letter notes that a person could be considered an “infirm pioneer,” if they felt that removing the person from the pioneer ranks would be a “backward step” for them:

This point, that being a pioneer elevates you above the rest of the congregation, is emphasized again in that same letter, when it separates and divides the everyday congregants or publishers from these pioneers:

Obviously, to this woman and those whom she represents in this skit, the preaching work itself is not of importance; itÂ’s having a special title that says youÂ’re doing more than the next person thatÂ’s the real priority.
The elders sitting in a room, judging and critiquing pioneers or any congregation member without them present, about any subject, is disturbing enough. However, this video also demonstrates that pioneering is not about how effective you are in preaching and teaching, and it’s not about fulfilling any command given by Jesus, or about the people you might be helping. This title of pioneer is about just that; the title. It’s given to those who toe the company line and is taken away from those who are struggling, in order to elevate some above the congregation and then put others in their place. This harsh judging and critiquing of such ones shows that the preaching work of Jehovah’s Witnesses shouldn’t be called “field service,” but should just be called what it is; self-service.

This is all so incredibly FUNNY.
I know I should be outraged, but I just.... can't ... do it!
(slaps self in face several times ... but even THAT is funny!)
One thing we have to remember .... until we see the two ALLEGED full length, unedited videos ... AND have verified beyond a reasonable doubt that they were produced by the WTB&TS, and NOT UNTIL THEN .... we will have to assume ... and MUST ASSUME ... this is fake news.
It's STILL FUNNY, though, because I know the probability of it being real is very high ... I have seen the GB shoot themselves in the foot before ... and surprised at the effect, shoot themselves in the OTHER foot, just to be fair.
I sure hope for the sake of the Brotherhood's global reputation this is NOT real .... Outsiders know more about what is going on behind the scenes than the Brotherhood does ... and it's very, very cringeworthy.

A now a message from our sponsor:
 

Imagine!!

I am told this is what the Bethel sisters in the cleaning department are having to deal with.

So pillow fights are definitely out...

Famous Christopher Hitchens speech where he said, 
"It is the wish to be a slave. It is the desire that there be an unalterable, unchallengeable, tyrannical authority who can convict you of thought crime while you are asleep, who can subject you to total surveillance around the clock every waking and sleeping minute of your life, before you're born and, even worse and where the real fun begins, after you're dead. A celestial North Korea. Who wants this to be true? Who but a slave desires such a ghastly fate?"
 
They are telling people how to SLEEP.
Incredible.

I have to say that I am utterly speechless at this. The Holy House of God must not be so holy if there is a need for this kind of video. 

@James Thomas Rook Jr. please prepare a newQuestions from readers article?
Are Pillows For True Christians?

You've got to hand it to Bethel, a topic like this might rub people the wrong the way, but they've managed to get a grip on this sticky situation and put it to bed. They truly are masters of their domain.

Its advertisements like this that Satan uses to allure men to have sex with pillows.

No comment... LOL

here is a nice comment or two made in the video: 
 
"The male animal has no season in which he is not willing to engage in the breeding act"
"a brother sits on the lap of one of his male friends..."

Are these guys even aware that no one in the real world talks this way?

This is almost too good to even comment on ....
@James Thomas Rook Jr. will have plenty to say I'm sure... LOL
