  ATLANTIS:

  (Petra),

  No, you’re not gonna ever see the Tower feeding anybody! That would be a first.

  These attempts to butter up the faithful elderly are because the religion knows when these people are gone - the JW religion is never going to see the like of them again.. Nobody supported them like this WW2 generation..and these people had a reverance for the religion more so than anybody else, IMO.

  The religion is now just making its last grasping attempt and probably hopes some of these gullible people will be generous.

  Your grandfather is right that this is not the religion he remembers from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. It’s like an ameoba that keeps shape shifting and has changed drastically in the last twenty years I have ‘Faded’.

  DIFIDO:

  Welcome to the forum!

  Isn’t it funny that people ‘Out’ who have gotten on with their lives are being contacted by JWs.. Because of your husband you are closer to the situation and would be contacted.

  You are right about not answering them - because any answer just leads to more intrusive questions and contact you don’t want..from people who (as we both know) are not your friends.

  I don’t expect to be contacted by them and have no patience for them and see through the whole thing. This ‘reactivation’ is because the religion is looking for money and is losing the demographic of elderly who are passing away. I was criticized for having a full time job and don’t want Jehovah’s Witness coming around asking for anything!

  Just keep ignoring those calls & texts.

  Remember the Revelation book?

  by wozza in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.

  i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.

  who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

  WOZZA:

  Yes, how could we forget the Revelation book that we studied more than once?

  This was back in the days when they had the Tuesday night book study in somebody’s home.. I remember some brother making a joke with comparisons to the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witch and Emerald City.

  SLIDIN FAST:

  As far as I’m concerned, the Witnesses and their stupid magazines and tracts, etc. are a waste of our beautiful trees!!

  The best news for the world is that they stop printing! Most of it ends up littering the earth and truly deserves to be called litter-ature.

  Do You Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted A Woman In The 90’s?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there is an allegation floating around saying he assaulted one of his female staffers .

  most mainstream media do not report on this claim.

  they either don’t believe it or don’t want to believe it.. funny how if it were brett kavanaugh or donald trump, they would be all over it.

  she actually made a comment that she wished antmo 3 was her dad and that he is so cool.

  oh my god, i threw up in my mouth.

  GOINGTHRUTHEMOTIONS:

  Is this daily checkup combined with their efforts to reactivate the ‘Inactive’?

  Well, I guess I’m off their radar because I haven’t seen or heard from them.

  I know certain ex-Witnesses will be pursued more than others..Maybe a brother (because there aren’t enough men), or somebody who has some skill that Users in the congregation wanted, OR a family that opened up their house, entertained, served food, etc.

  They didn’t so much as get the time of day from me since they criticized me as ‘unspiritual’ for having a full time job.. There’s probably a notation next to my name somewhere - being as they take notes about everything else.😉

  Only desperation would make them come calling.

  Theory of Wuhan virus being created in a viral lab now being considered

  by JimmyYoung in

  2. current

  i thought it was a strange coincidence that there was a weapons lab right near the supposed wet market where it started.

  china needs to pay for this one way or the other.

  LITTLEROCKGUY:

  If this was biowarfare on China’s part, then they sacrificed their own citizens to accomplish this!.. Unless they had a twofold purpose to reduce their high population. Very cruel if they did.

  Nobody knows the exact death toll there and I’m sure it’s very high. My family knows of someone who worked there (not even in Wuhan) and they say the crematoriums were going night and day for a while before word got out that there was a pandemic!

  People can say what they want about ‘conspiracy theories’ but I think we haven’t been told the whole truth about what happened in China.

  ROAD TO NOWHERE:

  I suppose you are still active in the religion. You should NEVER concern yourself how you are viewed..I’m sure you’re more charitable than most in the kingdom hall..I never concerned myself that I didn’t meet the JW religion’s definition of being ‘spiritual’ 🙄, since I worked full time.

  Their definition of spiritual was some stupid drudge that went around doing favors for the Users. But, most of the drudges I saw had family in the ‘truth’ and a place to live OR a husband supporting them. So, they weren’t harmed by being stupid!

  But, I was on my own and HAD to look out for myself. I would not be Retired if I hadn’t.

  WTWIZARD:

  I am in total agreement with you that the washtowel deserves absolutely nothing - and especially now! Imagine the nerve! But yet they want people to inventory the goods in their house so the brothers can determine if they have a SURPLUS to give away!

  It’s very scary to think about food shortages. I’d rather have a toilet paper shortage than that! 🤞🏻
