It's 'wrong' because it's apart from 'mother' and has nothing to do with furthering the organization's interests. They would be giving 'admonition' and then if they didn't change course would be disfellowshipped for apostasy.

Homeowner siced two dogs on us, which chased us to end of the driveway.
Woman wearing very loose/low top with slightly visible areola, young brother talking with her stayed there a looong time, kept conversation going.
Householder told pioneer she had a nice rack.
Man who was a truther tried to 'witness' to us about aliens.
Woman talked to us like we were possessed and said "Begone!"
Mentally disabled (but otherwise somewhat normal looking) woman answers the door, and I talk for a little while only gradually realizing that the conversation is basically one way, then her caretaker comes to get her.

It is probably the silver sword, just in one of those personalized zipper covers with his name or something engraved. Whatever it says, for some reason they blocked it out. Looking closely though, it doesn't appear to say "Prince Nelson", so if it isn't his name I don't know what it says.

Online Bible Study! Yes they finally did it!
by Ray Frankz inhttps://www.jw.org/en/online-help/using-jw-org/online-bible-study-lessons/online-bible-study-lessons-video/.
since the org discovered the internet i saw that one day they would release an online bible study so the people didn't need the witnesses to be indoctrinated by the gb.
i have to admit that i didn't think they would do it now, without a great cerimony or announcement, but, hey, it's on!.

The Mormons seem to handle it okay. They have young adults manning their phones and chat site.
I have family background with LDS as well, so I tried 'reverse witnessing' if you will a couple of times with Mormon missionaries online. They're very sensitive to that though. Similar to JWs they only stick to a script and stock answers and when I veered from that even subtly they quickly ended the conversation.

Has anybody seen the new online Bible study yet, just posted yesterday I believe? It's the first thing you see now when going to the home page. About it, it says:
The Online Bible Study Lessons on jw.org are free, have no obligation, and are easy to use. Learn at your own pace in the privacy of your own home. You won’t need to register or provide personal information.
However they haven't gone all digital yet. There's the disclaimer:
These lessons do not replace our personal Bible study program.
This digital "study" is not study at all. It has three brief units, and a lot of it is grade school level interactive visuals to keep you stimulated.

My first R movie was Passion of the Christ, and that was shortly before I fully woke up. The rating system is often inconsistent. You'll have an otherwise clean movie rated R for a few F words or something, and then there's some PG-13 films I've seen that should've been rated R for the graphic violence, gun deaths etc. I don't mind R rated films that are justified in their content, but it seems that many are 'aiming' for an R and it comes off as shoehorned and cringy like middle school mentality, 'look at me, I'm rated R, ooooh'

Hasn't an elder asked you the magic question yet, whether you believe that God is using the FDS? Also, you could be disfellowshipped for posting here, because you're 'associating' with some who are disfellowshipped themselves. -

Instead of glorifying a person, like on a birthday, how much better to glorify materialism!
“Instead of having Christmas or any other holiday, we have Big Toys Day.
