  Like Pete (above) I could never keep up the habit.

  When taking a discussion on the text with the cong. It was always a struggle to talk about the scripture. The bros. Would rather take points from the WT comment. I am sure they never knew the difference.

  אחות מתזמן would be based on 1 kings 11:3.. 'he had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines' .

  אחות מתזמן job is to arrange solomon quality time with his legal babes.

  Do you think the Door to Door KNOCKING - field service will EVER resume AGAIN?

  by pistolpete in

  if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.

  (1992 franz death +80 more years).

  if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.

  Door to door is surely planned to start again once Covid is over. It is too important to their movement to not do so. Believe it or not , there are some who really want to get back to it

  Trolley work is very visible but only a few per day get to do it, some like my family used to find it was sewn up by the in-crowd and Pioneers. The bulk of the “work” was door to door.

  This is definitely a grey area. A lot will depend on the circumstances, how the remaining Witness presents it to his BOE and their attitude toward him.

  2 examples. A) The Witness works in a large factory and the d/f one is his foreman. They do not socialise and rarely speak about none work matters. That would probably be o k .

  B) witness works for another one , window cleaning together all day. Either one is d/f. They spend all day on the jobs or in the van, take breaks and lunch together. He would probably have to get other employment.

  A truly absurd situation is brewing ...

  2. current

  yes, it's related to the world cup in qatar next year.. a recent un report has detailed some serious abuse of migrant workers by qatari authorities - we're talking some serious issues here:.

  - a caste system with migrant workers treated differently on the basis of ethnicity.

  - non-payment of wages.

  I showed on of my JW (True Believers) that Kingdom Halls will be opening soon. He had a fit!

  so i showed one of my older uncles the link on jw.org.. https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/the-governing-body-announces-that-some-in-person-meetings-will-resume-in-select-areas/.

  keep in mind that this is one of the relatives that is a true believer and used every excuse you can think of for the cancellation of all kingdom hall meetings.

  and he also used every scriptural argument you can make up to justify the end of the door to door ministry.

  Mine were not happy at the prospect!

  I reassured them with the thought that , given the terrible infection rates still prevalent in U.K., it will be a long time before it comes our way... ( we all hope. That’s apostate and true believers united)

  Return to Kingdom Hall Meetings - Letter to Elder Bodies?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a couple of threads over on reddit that there is a letter to elders on restarting meetings.

  i find this hard to believe and have not seen anything on this from our trusty sources on this site.

  can anyone confirm?.

  The U.K. is still deep in it according to latest news:

  ”The UK records a further 45,066 coronavirus cases on Thursday - a rise of 11% on the 40,701 cases recorded the previous week and the highest daily figure since 20 July. Meanwhile, case rates are currently rising in all age groups and regions in England.”

  ( Source, Sky News)

  so I can’t see it happening in this part of the world yet. At least that isa silver lining to the dark clouds of Covid prevalence.

  Superman and Captain America

  by punkofnice in

  i see that marvel are introducing a gay captain america as dc announce the son of superman is bi-sexual.. whereas i don't give a hoot about a person's use of their genitalia as long as it is consensual and not with kids, i'm finding all this 'inclusivity' becoming a bit boring.. are dc and marvel just virtue signalling in the hopes of selling comics and not being set on fire by the antifa frauds?
