Years ago in my teens, the WTS had a "drama" about a resurrected couple who had been married before their death. They started complaining about "god's" provisions in the new system, then lightning flashed and thunder and those people dropped dead instantly, no judicial committee. Wow, I said, instant death, reminds me of the story about Ananias and Sapphira in the 1st century who lied to Peter about donating all the money from the sale of some land. Peter challenged their truthfulness, and then the 2 of of them dropped dead instantly. I wondered if that would really be true; since their bible does not say. I'm sure the WTS used this one time example in the 1st century to justify that drama. "In a miraculous way, Jehovah revealed the fraud to the apostle Peter, who confronted Ananias with his error. At that, Ananias fell down and expired. Shortly thereafter, Sapphira also died.-Acts 5:1-11"

Congregations seem to be obligated to the WTS for $8.50/month for each active publisher. How does that work?

Un-Witnessing
by Slidin Fast inas you get older it seems, your medical needs slowly escalate and you find yourself more and more in front of medical professionals, at least that’s my experience.
inevitably the question of blood arises.
as a staunchly stuck in pimo, i relish the chance to educate these people about the reality of the hlc and it’s policing function for dubs.

I only bring up the topic if the doctor does. I have removed all ID about being a jw, replaced HC POA, legally filed new with doctors, clinic and hospital with written verification they have it on file. I check every year to see if it is still in force. I have talked to surgeons over the years and many are aware of the WT policies about blood, just to make sure of their own legal responsibility and how to make sure it is legally filed. So many non-jws have little if any real contact with jws behind their "sweet" and deceptive talk. Many ex-jws had to educate the lawyers that were helping them with the abuse cases, providing copies of the elder manuals to start with and explaining the hidden meaning behind the scenes. Make sure your family knows too (some danger in doing that I understand).

Talk about reading into things. The WTS uses this technique all the time. But don't say anything even if the WTS is totally out of their mind making this connection.
Are these the Last Days?
Every global catastrophe, be it a war, earthquake, famine, epidemic or financial recession, has Jehovah's Witnesses besides themselves that Armageddon is about to occur. Watchtower leaders make use of the fear such events invoke, insisting they show we are at the end of the "last days." They have been making the same claim that Armageddon is upon us, not just for decades, but ever since the religion's inception in the 1870's.
COVID-19 was no exception - Watchtower touted this as proof the end was upon us. However, the global response to Covid-19 resulted in a death rate that was significantly less than similar pandemics in the past. Rather than acknowledge this incredible medical achievement, Watchtower presented Covid-19 as proof pestilence is greater than ever before. To believe such shows tragic historical ignorance. Disease takes a lower toll on human life than any other time in history, proven by global life expectancy doubling over the last century.
Next was the fear of inflation, with the lead article on jw.org in June 2022 being "Soaring Worldwide Inflation." Rising prices are claimed to be a sign of the Last Days, which is particularly egocentric, since even with inflation, people in the developed world have a higher standard of living than the poorest quarter of the global population and most people of any time in history.
Are these the Last Days? compares information published by Watchtower with research regarding war, pestilence, earthquake and famine since 1914, with astounding findings. See also Does The Current Recession/War/Pandemic Prove Armageddon is Close?
The WTS also said earthquakes have been increasing since 1914: What does this say: https://jwfacts.com/watchtower/earthquakes.php

$8.25 per active publisher in the US, as I understand it. My husband was an accounts servant a few years ago and he says the amount was the same back then.

I would get a good attorney and financial adviser experienced in these situations. Change my phone number, move, so no one would start trying to hit me up for money.

James Jack, I would be one voice in the wind. Elders are bullies and try to get the new elders on their same page. My husband was an elder and told me stories that would curl your hair, if have hair. I wouldn't have lasted long.
