  No angels or anointed with dark skin tones

  Excellent point! What would be the justification for that? They say the white hair signifies age and wisdom, but why only Europeans?

  Yes, that happened in my congregation too. The new amount was double the previous one, but they said it so fast I don't know if anybody noticed. Nobody asked questions and it passed. Interesting to know this is happening everywhere.

  It's also worth noting that the Bible Teach book has been officially replaced by the Teach Us book as the primary study aid . . . And this new version omits that illustration. Gee, I wonder why?

  Covid-19 and JWs and Sweden

  by neat blue dog in

  sweden didn't lock down and are doing well.

  so with the unified pro-lockdown message the jws are promoting, how are they handling things in that country?

  are they still having meetings but keeping it quiet?

Are they still having meetings but keeping it quiet? I realize they have a vested interest in the plandemic as it always helps with the last days thing.

  PS: This is yet another example of JWs having more in common with liberals than conservatives. At a recent midweek meeting the congregation went beyond even what the GB said and were badmouthing those who don't wear masks.

  An experience from the latest magazine. Only in Jehovah's organization! . . . Oh wait.

  Jovica, quoted earlier in this series of
  articles, grew up hearing his countrymen,
  the news, and television programs give
  negative reports about a minority group.
  “I became filled with prejudice—and even
  hatred—for those people,” he says. “And
  I thought I was completely justified in
  feeling that way.
  “However, while in the army, I had no
  choice but to live and work with fellow
  soldiers from that minority group. In time,
  I learned more about them. I even started
  to learn their language and to listen to
  their folk songs. I began to have pleasant
  dealings with them, and I started to view
  them differently.

  so i guess the wt holds free public gatherings, but will sue anyone who publishes a video of the free speeches?

  with the virus thing going on, there's more tv time here in the rub a dub household.. watching jaws for the 20th time still is fun.

  then all the killer stingray, whales and other sea creatures is interesting.. we watched moby's dick last night.

  it's an old classic like jaws.

  Farmers to Families: Approved Contractors

  https://www.ams.usda.gov/selling-food-to-usda/farmers-to-families-food-box/approved-contractors.

  at this link there are a couple pdfs with lists of farms that food is being bought from.

  we all know how tricky wt can be, especially when it comes to money, so i'm just wondering if they may be one of the contractors at one of their still remaining farms going under another name, and getting paid millions to distribute all this food across the country.

Just a thought.

  (Local JWs are also being urged to contribute for the 'arrangement', so that would add even more to their profit.)

  2020 Convention Friday Highlights: Information Control and Hypocrisy

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there's yet another talk to add to the list of talks written specifically for damage control against "apostates".

  the speaker says, "some who were once part of the christian congregation attempt to mislead us", that they tell "false accusations" & "lies".

  to combat this, he says that you should "protect your ears from damaging noise by not listening to it", comparing it to wearing "noise canceling headphones".

  Not sure what was in that stuff, crack??

  I think it's just a psychological effect: the dullness of the day contrasted with a brief reprieve, similar to the excitement for airplane peanuts.
