Nonbelieving mates
by road to nowhere ina couple of my wife's friends are married to non witnesses.
they say jehovah must have special plans for them.
and that it is a special exception not destruction, alas, they are not attractive so my special idea about polygamy won't cut it.

maybe a lot of nonbelieving mates prefer the idea of destruction rather than eternity with the old boiler.

Vaccines - "Jehovah's" chariot does it again....
by neat blue dog injehovah's chariot, famous for being late to the game, copying other religion's chariots, or outright turning in the wrong direction does it again with vaccines.
immediately after the gb announced that masks are still required and that all hlc elders are required to be fully vaccinated, the cdc comes out with new covid guidelines:.
which "focuses on individual decisions" and "brings the recommendations for unvaccinated people in line with people who are fully vaccinated – an acknowledgment of the high levels of population immunity in the u.s., due to vaccination, past covid-19 infections or both.

i remember watching a "Minder" episode on UK tv---Where Arfur invites 2 witness door knockers in---to make sure he is not "home alone" for some reason. It was hilarious.
Did any other UK members see it ?

@mikejw. Were you at Bethel when Ron Drage, Peter Ellis and Bevan Vigo were there ? I remember them from my days in the cult in the West Midlands in the late 60's. Drage was DO--the others were CO.
What became of them ?

Investment departments in Bethel
by Mikejw ini was a bethelite in london for many years then got reassigned to the field and then went on brd from the start of chelmsford right upto covid.. during my years at the branch i was sometimes asked to be on a team who went to homes donated to the branch when some older one died.. this happenes an awful lot, everything is left to the branch in the will.
the unbelieving family is furious they didn’t get left anything and sometimes they tried to get their elderly relatives possessions and there was a legal battle .
but in the end a team of us would go and empty the property and another team would clean it up and put it on the market to sell it for the worldwide work.. all the possessions were sorted into trash or possibly valuable .
