  Infidelity amongst JWs

  by YellowLab in

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

  such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

  Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

  by Davros in

  2. friends

  one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

  you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

  then, go to the meeting.

  maybe one of you ex bethelites can confirm/refute this--

  someone at a bethel home breakfast was selected to say the prayer. on and on it went; when he finally said amen--he opened his eyes and everyone else had finished their breakfast.

  i heard that one-50 years ago. i do want it to be true.....

  Weekly Meeting Importance Being Reduced - Your Thoughts?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.

  nothing was more important than being at the meetings!

  over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.

  england, wales, scotland & n.i.

  are independently making or changing the covid 19 lockdown laws/rules to suit themselves... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52600708.

  garden centres are opening in wales on monday, in england on wednesday, but by the looks of things, are far too dangerous to open them anytime soon in scotland or n.i.

  there is no easy or quick fix to the problem. care of the elderly is expensive, and no one really wants to foot the bill.

  these deaths of people WITH COVID SYMPTOMS are mostly the elderly, and who is to say they would die naturally within a few weeks or months anyway? but--you can never tell. My (JW ) father went into a care home in jan 2013, after several weeks in hospital.When he was discharged--he was sent away with a "purple form", which really means do not resucitate if he had a life threatening episode. The care home manager said he didnt have long to go--weeks..maybe months. But--he regained strength--and lived till jan 2016. he was 94.

  today, i got an email from an old friend with a story told by brother andre ramseyer who attended training at patterson in england.

  a service dog regularly attended the meetings with his owner.

  when the owner passed away, the dog was given to another blind man.

  just heard a bbc news report saying the low paid are more likely to die than the higher earners.

  the solution to that problem is easy--

  pay them more !
