this is for all the ex-jw's on that dreadful day..... do you remember where you were when jfk was shot in dallas, tx?
yes--i remember exactly where and how i heard:
i was walking towards the entrance of the rented school hall that served as our kingdom hall--- one of my jw pals caught up with me and told me about it.
I was 15, and would be leaving grammar school for good a few weeks later. A few months after that i was guilted into becoming a pioneer by listening to DO Drage grinding on about it at an assembly. My pio partner was the same lad who told me the news about JFK.
are the governing body really in charge or are they just a figurehead with the real power being behind the curtain .
Mr Morris--its all gone very quiet about him--just what the watchtower wanted
if a pimi sister has been told by her unbelieving husband not to take these experimental vaccines then what is official jw policy in this situation?.
should she go against her husband and tell him i will do what the men at my church tell me?.
what on earth will the husband think then?
Elmer3 months agoWell, according to your current “bio”, you are allegedly a seasoned elder from Bethel.
You should be able to answer your own question. But since you’re a troll, it won’t happen.
i must have missed this--was it ever established that exBpima was a troll--or not

further thoughts about jw care homes in the UK.
Where a resident has " no" money--their care is paid for through social services, a part of the local civic council--funded by the tax payer. How much is paid depends on the care needs of the individual claimant--there are several care bands. The lowest level of need costs £2200 PER MONTH.
So--take a humble jw--having pioneered most of their lives--often living on $ocial $ecurity' is now elderly and depending on Funded care in their old age. What a loving provision from Jehovah.
No wonder the Watchtower $ociety is keen to distance themselves from all these pioneers--not to mention all those lifetime Bethelites kicked out before they became a liability.
How many JWs are there now in the UK ?--and how many of those are elderly? Do the sums !
Imagine if laws were passed holding the Watchtower .liable for these costs of elderly care ? They would be shitting them selves!
Make no mistake--these J Jireh care homes are NOT provided by the watchtower--they are a business--a cash machine.

who pays for their care?
here in the UK--anyone with no money is laughing--care home costs are paid for by the tax payer--ideal for most old dubs i would think, The retired person can have savings--up to about £25 ( i think) above that and they have to pay. Property also is taken in to consideration.
At this point greedy relatives rise to the surface.
My wife is the registered manager of a private 20 room care home.
if the current doctrine is that only baptised witnesses are going to survive and everyone else burns them what about this new update new light that some from before the flood and sodomites will be resurrected?.
but didn’t he mention at the agm something about there is no point jehovah killing them and then resurrecting them again?
it seems they are confused about what they teach and that’s why brother jackson joked about “is this what we used to believe or what we believe now?”.
everybody alive now will die long before armaggedon happens.

Wasnt former DO Bill Bull involved with J jireh in the UK?
even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.
they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.
i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..
i think the general idea is that leg overs--like transfusions, smoking, gambling. boozing etc will all be left to the sinners conscience.
Less interference=more bums on seats=more money coming in.

it will end up like the Church of England. Millions of members--the vast majority state that as their religion if asked on a document--but havent been inside a church in their lives.
