  so apparently robert hendricks the spin doctor of the wt society has been proudly telling news channels how wonderful the wt org has been during the 2 years of the pandemic, checking in with each and every member to meet their needs on a weekly basis.. except, based on the comments of former jw friends on facebook, it's news to most of them since they are screaming out that they were totally neglected by the elders/ms throughout most of that period.

  a couple even said that because of being ignored by the congregation during this time, that they have walked away completely.

  Lee Marsh:

  First of all, I can't tell you how good it is to see you here visiting with us again! We missed you so very much.

  I have been in contact with a former Bethelite for the past 10 years, and for 6 of those years not even 1 JW came to see him or his wife who is in very poor health.

  The Mormons came to visit them 3 times in that time period, yet not even 1 JW showed any interest in them at all. These 2 people are still in good standing and have never been considered disassociated or disfellowshipped.

  This former Bethelite sat across the breakfast table from Ray Franz back in the old days.

  have received news of the passing of alan fuerbacher today having just turned 70 years of age.

  alan was an earlier and frequent poster on this forum and was a strident critic of wt bible chronology.

  i enjoyed the continuous debate on matters relating to 607 bce and will miss his intellectual contributions and his scholarship even though i disagreed with much of his contributions on this subject.

  You make a good point, and they already admitted that the infection cases with COVID was "higher" with JW's than the general public.

  Some people think this "in-person" gathering is going to back-fire in their face.

  Watchtower Bible And Tract Society Urging Town Of Ramapo To Act On Its Application In Timely Manner

  march 22, 2022. over the past eight months, the watchtower bible and tract society has reviewed public and other comments on its proposed development for 155 sterling mine road in ramapo and has revised its plans.. on monday, the applicant was prepared to present its feis (final environmental impact statement) and hoped the ramapo town board would accept its submission as “final,” to move on to review by the rockland county planning department.. instead, the board deferred making decisions, seemingly because they did not have enough time to review some newly submitted documents by the activist group rosa.. “we’re asking the board to take action on the ‘feis’,” said attorney ira emanuel.

  “if you don’t like it, change it.

  The Watchtower doesn't want their plans altered, but it is ok to "alter" the Bible to their liking.

  ------------------------

  The applicant is also seeking inclusion of a “Conceptual Development Special Permit (CDSP)” which would ensure that the concept isn’t fundamentally altered from its original plan when the final site approval is completed.

  Well, I guess if you stink to high heaven people will certainly "distance" themselves.

  Cost Of Living Survey seems to indicate upcoming layoffs or on the horizon.

  My comments:

  I thought that they were working with a skeleton crew already!

  fastJehu:

  I can always count on fastJehu for cold German beer! They are already living on almost nothing. If it gets any worse they will be using the napkins from the kitchen for toilet paper.

  road to nowhere:

  bathe only on Saturday? Yikes! The place will stink to high heaven if they use that method.
