I liked this part, I asked my jw about it too. "if you guys expect the end everyday are you actually prolonging this old system of things?" - "I fell back on an old reflex to comfort myself — remembering a scripture about the Day of the Lord coming as a thief in the night, surprising us when we least expect it. Surely the end couldn’t arrive while Twitter was calling for it.

Covid19 deaths in the Jehovah's Witnesses
by yalbmert99 inin a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.
strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..

Romans 10:13 "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." NIV
Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” NLT
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. KJV
hint, the Lord is Jesus. (not what the perverted jw doctrine says inserting jehovah where it doesn't belong)
'Everyone' and 'whosever' doesn't seem to imply anyone is left out does it?

Adultery, Divorce, Remarry
by azl0058 inmy brother (who is a witness) has been married for 8 years.
he and his wife (also a witness) got married young, but he never really tried in the marriage, but she also lost his trust early on.
he says that it was his fault though because he pushed her away.. anyways, he met this new girl (not a witness) and told his wife that he wanted to separate.

What do I know? I am not a jw but all the stories over the years it seems to me to go this way- guy commits adultery, gets df'd, sits in the back of the kh with his new honey for a year, gets reinstated and all is good again. Unless, the guy is not liked or has no standing in the kh, then he will remain a leper for years and his new honey will also be a leper and they will have no real friends in the kh. That's how I see it happening over the years.
If they both know how to turn on the crocodile tears that would be really helpful for them in the long run.

What?! did they just overlook 10:9 and forget to pervert it?
For those who may have forgotten or choose not to look up every other Bible translation on the planet, 10:13 reads-
13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
