so my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.

my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.

to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

Sister Not Sure If She Is 144 000 or Great Crowd
by Awake at last in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i haven’t posted here for years as i have now moved on and am satisfied with the choice i have made to leave watchtower.

however in light of the coronavirus and people in australia and other countries being asked to stay at home i became concerned for a witness sister who lives in melbourne alone who is 88 years old.

today i gave her a call as i don’t trust the local witnesses to care for her.

Brooklyn Bethel Tours Through The Roof
by freemindfade in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
was speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.

the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.

well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!

The Society cares more about Mark Sanderson's stick of Judah than the elephant in the room
by truthseeker in
1. jw
2. friends
i just watched the segment of mark anderson's, gb member, talking at the annual general meeting.. they care more about obscure prophecies than the child abuse crisis in the organization.. he talks about the two and ten tribe kingdoms of israel, the stick of joseph and stick of judah, and likens it to the anointed and great crowd.. what a bunch of craziness!.

this is the kind of crap spiritual food the drones get..
