  Return to Kingdom Hall Meetings - Letter to Elder Bodies?

  by JWTom in

  a couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.

  i find this hard to believe and have not seen anything on this from our trusty sources on this site.

  can anyone confirm?.

  Circuit Assemblies are HUGE CASH COWS for WTS because they dictate how much will be contributed.

  But they still do that. On the zoom assembly they said we were thousands of dollars in deficit as usual 😅

  The "Regular Pioneer" title has now become a total joke

  we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.

  apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.

  because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.

  What Should Have Been Their "Surname" or "Last Name"?

  by titch in

  ok, folks, so here's my question.

  now then, assuming that you believe that there was an actual first man and a first woman, as the bible propounds, that had the name of "adam" and "eve" (as we have called them, in the english language) well, what do you think that their surname or last name would have been, or should have been?

  that is, if they had surnames way back then, in the so-called "beginning" of human existence?

  2021-09-22-covid jw deaths--philippines .

  see the bottom of paragraph 1.

  "these figures indicate that the ratio of deaths among the brothers is even higher than among the general population.

  Yes, real data would show the average age and general mortality to form a well rounded assessment, but no good JW would request additional information.

  Has any one of your JW family gotten a call from elders about vaccinations?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower

  one of my jw uncles got a call last night and was asked how many in his extended family have not taken the vaccine and he needed names.. a letter was sent to elders but it is dated the 27 which was yesterday, so i'm not sure it has anything to do with the letter.

  but my uncle said the elder was coming down hard on him for not knowing who hasn't taken the vaccine.

  he implied that not taking the vaccine "could" warrant judicial action.

  I was casually asked (not sure if it was planned or not, or if this is being done on a widespread scale). Anyways I said no, followed by awkwardness.

  What Congregation Scandal Still Troubles You?

  by Sea Breeze in

  i was appointed as a regular pioneer in a certain congregation.

  in that congregation, a very obese male pioneer seduced a nice looking married pioneer sister who had two teenage sons.

  her husband was a ms. both were df'd.

  I think we've all got some doozies to tell because every congregation has them. The GB however pushes the idea that these are rare in "Jehovah's Organization", and every pocket of R&F JWs believes that they're one of the exceptions and tell themselves that Jehovah sees and will fix it in his due time.

  I know, I heard the interview you mentioned, see my above response. I think you totally misinterpreted it, but agree to disagree.
