Frozen2018: Your point on the cost of execution is well taken. But the problem here isn't of execution, but of the ridiculous red tape and resulting high cost of everything government does. A far cry from back when it didn't cost too much more than the rope or few bullets and executioner.

Newly discovered Dead Sea Scrolls with the tetragrammaton within the Greek text
by dropoffyourkeylee inbig news from israel, some previously undiscovered dead sea scrolls have been found with portions of the ot in greek.
it says the name of god is included in hebrew letters within the greek text.. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/16/world/middleeast/dead-sea-scrolls.html.
"the new fragments contain verses from zechariah 8:16-17, including part of the name of god written in ancient hebrew, and verses from nahum 1:5-6, both from the biblical book of the twelve minor prophets.".

If it was greek text, why wasn't the divine name translated into Greek? Just further proof that it was both not translated and also avoided/treated sacred.

How to make memorial bread
by road to nowhere invideo in the meeting part.
i love the stereotypical jew actors, old world kitchen, yiddish accents.
reading the greatest man book instead of bible.. they did give a nod to non wheat flour but corn and rice would have been unknown at memorial no.

I'm wondering what country you're from because they were obviously South American.

truth_b_known summed it up precisely. They did the same thing with blood transfusions. You can no longer be disfellowshipping for it, rather you're viewed as disassociating yourself. If you're 'sorry', you don't have a committee and aren't reproved, they just announce that a matter regarding you was taken care of.

Strange midweek meeting '' initial call '' demonstration
by RULES & REGULATIONS incan it get any weirder?
here is a demonstration of a midweek meeting demonstration, showing a sister out in field service talking to a householder.
they are both wearing masks due to covid.

Okay this is very strange. Since the lockdowns started literally EVERY demonstration I've seen is about phone witnessing. How are these two women from different households even in the same room? The GB explicitly said that public preaching is discontinued until further notice and that it will outlast government restrictions. So yeah, I'm as puzzled by this as you are. -

It basically is, the Elders are 'encouraging' everyone to have 'emblems' to set out in front of themselves for Zoom, but not touch.

New type of Bible study publication audio
by neat blue dog inhas anybody heard the new audio recordings for the main study book enjoy life forever?
instead of a straightforward reading, it's mixed with reenacted "quotes" delivered in a phony-natural voice from men and women, with hip music in the background.
the organization is so up to speed and innovational lol.

Nobody had better cancel Speedy Gonzales again. They tried it once and it backlashed. It turned out the Mexicans like him, viewed him affectionately as a mascot. As usual, the white liberal butts in and causes trouble.

Ban on Independent Meetings
by lssjr insource - march 2021 announcements - - https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5085868283920384/2021-march-147-english-german-announcements-reminders.
this is a sobering reminder of what happened some 40 years ago when raymond franz and others were literally kicked out from the jehovah's witnesses for having pre-arranged private spiritual discussions.lesson: paragraph 7 is another example of the i and t in dr. steven hassan's bite model of the 21st century cult - information and thought control at its best!!!!
"my gosh, there must be a lot of independent meetings these days.

They have the nerve to specifically forbid any meetings that open and close with prayer.
Jesus said 'wherever there are two or more gathered together, I am in their midst.'
That is so wrong!
