I would imagine someone could create a universal JW - chatbot parsing internet posts and regurgitating responses from the respective JW phrase-bank.

Which means, when translated:

Apostates invariably end up where they belong - in the gutter

[I guess it's not as funny if you have to explain it.]

[xero]

It's a rudimentary IQ test. Apostates will always fail it.

[xero]

I suppose I could make it harder. I could use rot13 on top of that.

Great—thanks a lot!—grumble grumble. I punched that binary code into my laptop and afterwards it wouldn’t go to anywhere but Lloyd’s site. I had to throw it in the dumpster!

It's certainly a low-high-tech way of using forums, facebook and the like with overlords who want to control what you can say - even to your friends and family. More, though to be silently annoying.

I don't think it suggests that. It's a review of his reign of 55 years. He could have done evil in only a few of those years and the verse would make just as much sense. Or perhaps a king could remain good for most of his reign but it's the reputation he made before the end of his life that counts here. Solomon, ironically, is credited with these verses:

(Ecclesiastes 7:1, 2) . . .A good name is better than good oil, and the day of death is better than the day of birth. 2 Better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, for that is the end of every man, and the living should take it to heart.

It's an interesting topic however, because "a boy" was not considered to necessarily know the difference between good and bad:

(Isaiah 7:15, 16) 15 He will eat butter and honey by the time that he knows how to reject the bad and choose the good. 16 For before the boy knows how to reject the bad and choose the good, the land of the two kings whom you dread will be completely abandoned.

 

Of course, nothing speaks concretely in favor of that idea. But it also says nothing about him being good from the beginning of his reign and then becoming bad. In fact, on the contrary, it seems he was bad almost "all" or bigger part of his life, and then he repented and was given the grace to live for a little more and rule Judas. It is obvious that, as in many other cases, children and people are influenced by those around them. This largely determines how they will live.

CC said: He did what the LORD considered to be evil, following the despicable practices of the nations whom the LORD had expelled in full view of the people of Israel.

He explained in this sentence, how little king boy followed despicable practices of other people (nations) but i would say, also of own people and older inside own nation, family, elders, friends etc (A. Morris statement about apostates aka ex-JW).

In that sense i try to connect CC quote about 2 Kings 21. What teachings and practice and example GB members bring to JW members and JW children?

It seems that Xero is running out of things to write. Well even a strong wind runs out of puff.  As for the binary rubbish, well childish is too good a word. And as for apostates I presume he means the GB and helpers of the W/t. For it is they who have apostatized, turn aside from or turned against God and Christ and true scripture.

Exactly, you have to think of it like I do when I see the "mostly peaceful protests". It doesn't matter if its "mostly peaceful" when your business has been looted or burned to the ground. On the whole, his reign was a failure.

Exactly, you have to think of it like I do when I see the 'Victims of Child Sexual Abuse'.  It doesn't matter if JW Org is 'mostly peaceful'  when you or your children have been sexually abused by a JW Elder or M/S.  On the whole, JW Org is a failure.

That if you aspire to be part of ‘massive building projects’, because “yes, building is a legacy of God’s people” (from the video explaining the making of Nehemiah), then you are serving "Jehovah" in a righteous manner?  And if a JW aspires to do these things, he (particularly) may find himself at the top of the hierarchy, where he can join the eight others to live out their building dreams – the work of their hands?

Kenneth Cook Jr., an enigma when it comes to his anointing, is the latest to make the cut!  These examples of aspirations are much more important than to speak truth – also a mysterious enigma that comes and goes with the wind. 

"House of Jacob,
come and let’s walk in the Lord’s light.
⁶ For you have abandoned your people,
the house of Jacob,
because they are full of divination from the East
and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines.
They are in league with foreigners.  (“Gentile” elder body ruling over the anointed Temple members 2 Thess 3,4)
⁷ Their land is full of silver and gold,
and there is no limit to their treasures;
their land is full of horses,
and there is no limit to their chariots.
⁸ Their land is full of worthless idols;
they worship the work of their hands,
what their fingers have made.
⁹ So humanity is brought low,
and each person is humbled.
Do not forgive them!
¹⁰ Go into the rocks
and hide in the dust
from the terror of the Lord
and from his majestic splendor.
¹¹ The pride of mankind will be humbled,
and human loftiness will be brought low;
the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.  Isa 2:7-11

This is from Isa chapter 2, where it states that the “law” will go out from Zion; where people will stream to God’s Temple. (Isa 2:2,3;27:12,13)  That Temple is built with “living stones” of faithful ones of “Jacob”, of “Israel”. (1 Pet 2:5,9; 1 Cor 3:16,17)  Yet, as we see fulfilled in this prophesy for our day, the major House of Jacob is reveling in the work of their hands. (Rom 1:25; Rev 13:4) 

“Israel, even if your people were as numerous as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction has been decreed; justice overflows.”  Isa 10:22

^“ Then the kings of the earth, (Rev 1:5) the nobles, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. ¹⁶ And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷ because the great day of their wrath has come! And who is able to stand?” Rev 6:15-17

The “mountains” and the “rocks”:  the anointed are “living stones” of Mt Zion; the “Gentile” elders and prominent leaders are “rocks”/exalted ”mountains”/rulers of a “mountain-like organization”.  (Rev 8:8; Zech 4:6,7

 

Sorry, got carried away, but you are right on.
