  we are pleased to inform you that, where possible, the 2021 circuit assembly with the circuit overseer (ca-co) program and the 2021 special meeting with regular pioneers, special pioneers, and field missionaries program will be broadcast via a product called jw stream–studio.

  this product will allow attendees to watch a live stream of their circuit’s programs from their homes.

  if this provision will be used in your circuit, the circuit overseer will provide further information to the elders.

  It's just a web site.

  That's been around since 2013. This is something else, just announced at the annual meeting. Not just JW Stream, but "JW Stream - Studio".

  Has anybody heard about this? I'm honestly not sure what they mean by "product" . . . A device? A program? They've released software before but they make this sound like a physical item, like a streaming box? If so . . . Why? What would the point be, except to make money selling it to the congregations like they did with the Lit-Cart line for $80 each? Maybe I'm wrong, if anybody has more information?

  QUITTING QUIETLY here is the Canadian version of the document

  by gone for good in

  a while back, i suggested that an easy, quick, quiet exit with the signing and dating of a concise and irrefutable document would spur faders and pimos to preempt the elders' interference by quitting quietly first , before a fade or a confrontation.

  here is the document .

  This would result in the Elders discreetly circulating the "memo" (verbally) that you are no longer one of JW's

  Says who? Is there any precedent for this? Or wishful thinking?

  Articles like that are one of the reasons they bashed wikipedia in print a few years ago, implying that most articles are vandalised and have fake information.

  the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.

  then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.

  However I learned that 7500 Witnesses worldwide have died from the virus.

  Which is not much higher than the overall annual death rate from all causes. The problem is that he's making it sound like an unprecedented disaster. (Similar to when they brag that hundreds are baptized every day, yet fail to mention that hundreds of thousands are born and die every day as well.)

  I am so glad that here in the U.K. Fighting the virus, as well as the need for less destructive economic practices are not seen as political issues or “left” policies .

  If you think this is an american issue you might want to look elsewhere:

  And if you think the science is settled you might want to keep looking:

  Kingdom Halls are been opened up now.

  my fathers best friend passed away a couple of days ago.

  admittedly, i live in a country that is covid free, although the local dubbies are still following the advice of not meeting in the hall.

  with the death of my fathers friend, the local boe must have had a change of heart.

  In the US they doubled down and said no unapproved entrance into the Hall and even then no two people who don't live together

  Adultery, Divorce, Remarry

  by azl0058 in

  2. relationships

  my brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.

  he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.

  he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.

  This apparently is a common idea, because the Elders book explicitly denounces using adultery to free yourself and get a new mate, and it said it will delay any reinstatement longer than usual.

  the watchtower said that reading their stuff would get you a college education.

  can anyone recall that gem?

  my parents sure bought into that crap.

  They've been saying that since 1914. In the intro to the Photo Drama, Russell says on camera that 'it has been said that watching the four parts is more beneficial than a year in college'.

  That's another line they've been using ever since as well, saying 'it has been said' or that something 'has been defined as', followed by something only they would say, but making it sound as if taken from objective sources.
