Snowbird, you sound like a nice person. In fact, I'd say likely a better person than your god so don't sell yourself short. We're literally on a thread about a guy that was among a handful of people to survive your god murdering every man, woman, child, dog, cat, horse, pretty much anything with a face on earth, handing a lot of asses back to everyone in a genocide unlike any other. Let's not pretend that he's nice, and on the other hand maybe some need to appreciate that others may have more to them than a simple belief or lack thereof.

Parents became JWs when I was 8 and I disassociated when I was 38.
My wife was born in and disassociated with me at 35. -

"People would be so receptive right now" = Translation: People are scared and vulnerable right now so maybe we take advantage of them at their lowest. They are feeling bad so we can sell them our hope and rope the poor bastards in.
JWs are the ambulance chasers of religion. -

Daily calls would indeed be "peculiar" outreach. I like what the girl next door said, they're trying to flatten their own curve. There is NO reason for daily calls by them. None. That's control, not some sort of loving check-in.

Legal Concerns About "Zoom" Meetings!
by Atlantis inthis whole "zoom" thing has got me wondering whether some of it is legal or not.
if a person has to dress up for a zoom meeting the way the watchtower dictates, doesn't this really go "beyond" cult?.
even the cults who committed mass suicide were able to dress the way they wanted for their meetings.

If they show up willingly and voluntarily, they can't complain. And everyone's surprise about them dressing up at home is ridiculous. Most probably want their video on to see their friends. They see it as part of respectful worship. I think they're absolutely a cult, as do many others, but that doesn't mean everything they do is culty. The faux outrage seems like a giant reach to me.

@RubaDub - You don't have to apologize to me, I don't care if you have your camera on or not. I'm just telling you what the options are from someone that uses it most days. Don't want it on? Don't do it. I'm not part of the cult and just shared my experience using it. I wouldn't go to their garbage on video or off it. You do you within the circumstances you live in. Good luck with it. I wouldn't want to play these games either.

@Simon - My point was from the admin of the group chat, that they can't turn your camera on. I can request someone to do it, but I can't turn it on. The average person isn't going to know how to get around measures to turn it on, so your congregation elder won't either. I don't see the grand conspiracy here that many are intimating.

Zoom existed long before the JWs used it. Nobody can follow you with your camera. They can't even force you to turn it on. You can have a static image, your name, hell you can even just call in on your phone using the meeting ID and a phone number.
People will be clumsy with it and that can be funny, or just annoying. But you can turn your video off during the meeting, it's only engaged while in a meeting, you can mute your mic, use a static image, create a background, use a green screen and get creative, use many types of devices, etc.
