  Phone witnessing and the Year Book

  by Diogenesister in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the “year book” is published online next year, and the number of new baptisms is roughly the same as it always is, how are they going to deny that their new “converts” are nothing more than born-in kids of witnesses or already “captive” family and friends?.

  the “billions” of hours of service are at best pointless and ineffective and at worse often fabricated.. what say you?.

  Good point. It's hard to say how the hours will be affected. I know that for some their service time has gone up with it being easier. But then again they recently announced that ALL publishers were eligible to only report 15 minutes, which would indicate some are slacking off. Maybe they'll balance each other out? We'll see.

  Obviously this letter is a joke and not written by any current JW but by an ex.

  What are the Society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?

  what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.

  are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.

  i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.

  I've seen a little bit of shunning at funerals but it seems that most times disfellowshipping rules temporarily go out the window, even with elders. Hey, even Michael Jackson got a JW funeral talk.

  another Mormon similarity

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have said to many people that a person will come to be better informed regarding what's happening in the world today by reading the book of mormon than all the magazines and newspapers combined.. - ezra benson, lds president.

  it has been said that the four parts (of the photo drama) are worth more than a year in college.. - charles russell, wt president.

  the motives and results are the same: look at in-house information first and foremost, and distrust other sources..

  If that were shown in a movie, with the blood pooling and all, I'm pretty sure in the US it would get an automatic R rating.

  i was cleaning out some old photos etc.

  from my mother's stuff and landed on a small box containing 1980-2000 km.

  my first thought was to toss it.

  I thought I remembered it in the Moses drama, but it turns out it was a different set of four notes. In any case if you want a really creepy time listen to 51:30 - 51:50 in the link below.

  on reddit, a pimo elder talked about the co special meeting with the co about all what’s important, tight pants!

  omg we have a pandemic, some have lost their jobs, people are depressed, but let’s stop the brothers from wearing tight pants.

  also, metro style haircuts.

  it all looks a bit "gay"

  It looks like a gesture Jack Benny would pose, and he was often teased about being effeminate. Also, he's got a purple theme in his outfit going on, so . . . 🤭
