David Splane's 2020 Conventionl talk ....''Jehovah has to come first''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?

you lost your job and you searched for another one.

finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.

Splank:

Pray to Jehovah and then wait. Hold on a little longer to see what Jehovah would work out for you.''
is this the same god that doesnt seem too good at controlling this virus ?

Meanwhile over at exjw reddit

by nowwhat? in

it has no value at all.

it consists of 99% dumb, confused kids asking stupid hypothetical questions.

i did join ex jw redditt--but i find it difficult to use. i know a lot on here are also on it--plus many have left--or been kicked out of here.

i couldnt give a toss about american politics,--and even less about british politics. i dont bother voting.

In my country the preaching work is over

by cookiemaster in

the jws in my country can't preach to anyone these days and they're going crazy.

i live in romania and initially during the covid-19 lockdown they were very enthusiastic about preaching.

they've since held daily "field service meetings" on zoom.

stan livedeath

i think its packed up here in the UK. i never see any strolling along slowly door to door. kingdom halls are chained and padlocked.

its great. long may it continue.

Have you done anything like this ?

by smiddy3 in

many,many years ago i went into a florist shop and ordered a wreath and a sympathy card to be delivered to my home .the sales lady looked at me and saw that i wasn`t very old and offered her condolences to me .. i apologised to her and said oh no ,nobody`s died ,it`s just that my wife has been going off lately about her turning fourty ,so i thought i would commiserate with her by doing this.. on the other hand when i turned fourty i went out and bought myself a pair of ice skates ..

Why Do Intelligent People Still Believe In The Jehovah’s Witness Religion?

i understand it’s a cult.

but what makes an intelligent person actually believe they have the “truth” as taught by jehovah’s witnesses??

?.

Because to not believe in God means this is the only life you get.

great--thanks for that; as this is the only life we get--does that just further prove there is no god ?

Wishing the Gov.Body Members Contact Covid Virus.

by smiddy3 in

i don`t wish them any real harm or death or anything ,but i feel that if a few of them contracted the virus it might wake a few more up that their is no god to protect them from what is happening in the world.. after all they are living in a hot spot aren`t they ?.

am i wrong in wishing this to befall some of them ?

as a wake up call ?

stan livedeath

i dont wish this disease on anybody. as regards these governing body puppets--i do wish the would all resign--quit--go apostate--whatever---then see what happens to the cult.

Today's WT Study: "Return to Jehovah" - Lots of Elephants in the Room

by Room 215 in

today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..

stan livedeath

just one thing that gets in the way. dont the faithful regard us apostates and d'f'd as dead ?

Cowardly Change of Policy in the UK

by Slidin Fast in

the britain branch has called a confidential meeting tonight with a controversial announcement.

the message is of such import that it was transmitted by word of mouth only, nothing in writing, ears only.

a decision made by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and transmitted orally down the chain of command, a decision proving the leadership of this spirit lead body.. the gdpr laws in the uk have been interpreted by wt lawyers so that all record keeping relating to the public has been banned, telephone witnessing and letter writing also, forbidden.. now in a show of supreme bravado the publishers are to be informed that if they wish to, if they dare, they may write to people at their own risk.. bear in mind, nothing is in writing.

stan livedeath

so--in fact then--the preaching work in the UK is now more or less--dead. good.
