looks like the app may not be the org's best friend!.

Zoom is the number one recommended video-conference app recommended by the WTS. It's in writing in a half-dozen letters, forms, and announcements.
It's almost - almost - as if anyone with any brain power left the upper echelon of the organization decades ago and the ones left are utterly incapable of analyzing what security issues a particular software app might have.
prudent decision even if the pandemic is over you are going to have people that.
lost jobs can't afford to go.
not allowed any vacation time rest of year.
Officially cancelled.
Convention talks to be delivered via JW Broadcasting, talks given by GB members and "helpers".
This will be a serious blow to the WTS finances. Conventions were far and away the biggest money makers they had. I used to work in & around the accounting department a few years, there were gobs and gobs of cash, mountains of it (this was in the years prior to accepting credit / debit cards).
Yes, you can now donate online, but given the number of older JWs who don't understand out "what's this new-fangled thingy called oof-mail or eef-mail or whatnot?" and who can't figure out how to get Zoom to work, let alone make any sort of online payment, contributions will undoubtedly plummet.
the behavior from the org lately had me a bit confused, as it seemed to fall outside of their norm.
i'm not talking the hardcore armageddon wishers texting each other about peace and security, etc.
* but, the elders contacting people daily, and having extra meetings where they have all their additional rules.
I think the JW religion is ramping up their efforts to get to people because they are afraid that no
physical meetings equals loss of control over their members!
Bingo.
You hit the target more squarely than Errol Flynn splitting the arrow in "The Adventures of Robin Hood".
up till now i have generally received (on average) one or two nuisance calls a day –sometimes more, sometimes none.
although retired, i was out of the house about 20% of the time, but now that i’m home 100% of the time, i haven’t received a single nuisance call since the lockdown.
is this just me, or is covid19 having a sever impact of their incomes?
The mortality rate of Covid-19 on widows of Nigerian princes who need help transferring money out of Lagos is near 100% I hear.
it lasts for 45 minutes, but the first 11 minutes are more than enough to see that something is not quite right regarding the media's information about covid 19. the video has english subtitles.

Total death count is 3,300 against a population of 3.3 billion.
At the risk of repeating myself:
Maybe - maybe - relying on the official statistics of a government that lies with the ease and frequency that you take a breath might not give you a complete & accurate picture of the actual mortality rate.
not only do they want everyone dressed up for the zoom meetings( which i won't do) they decided to keep the zoom meeting at 1pm sunday!
so they don't upset their spiritual routine!
ugh!
LOL.
We got an old guy who uses Zoom on his iphone for meetings
He holds the phone on his lap with the camera pointed up.
The main thing you see are these 2 giant nostrils.
If my stomach could handle it, I could zoom in and count his nose hairs.

Isn't he the "Queen of England is really a lizard" guy?
Maybe - maybe - he ain't the best source for Covid-19 info. Just sayin'.
people are not willing to accept the popularity of the watchtower and awake as these magazines belong to jw.
a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.
in comment section of this link people are abusing again jehovah's witnesses.
I'm pretty sure you've posted this drivel on this site under different names in the past.
As I noted on your other posts: If by "popular" you mean "most likely to be accumulated in stacks of several hundred in the back of the closet of a JW for years or even decades, never to see the light of day until said JW dies and his kids have to clear out the trash from his house", then yes, I agree with you.
as a us citizen, i am usually a bit skeptical of what comes out of the mouths of government officials.
often they may speak the truth but i’m not convinced of whatever they are saying as being 100% true.
do you believe your government implicitly?
I'm just thrilled we haven't lost 17,000 Americans to a virus
Just wait a week or 2, 3 at most.
...tell the sheeple that "jehovah's earthly organization" is financially facing critical times, hard to deal with, which could threaten its survival and that it urgently requires as much money as the minions can send.. like every other business in the world, the cult needs a constant source of cash to exist.
so with meetings, assemblies, and probably conventions being cancelled, the cash-cow is rapidly looking very precarious.. i reckon the financial brains in the wtbts will have devised a financial survival plan - based on the situation continuing/worsening.
:) the sheep have all been fleeced - time to skin them!.
I fully expect the urgent pleas to "give, give" to start up about the 2nd week in April, when the monthly contribution amounts normally flow into the WTS coffers, and the amounts are shockingly low (given that there were virtually no KH meetings nor assemblies for over half the month.
"Give, give"....now where have I heard that before?
Oh yeah, Proverbs 30:15:
The leeches have two daughters that cry, “Give! Give!”
There are three things that do not get satisfied,
Four that never say, “Enough!”
Hmm, the revised version of 3 things that do not get satisfied:
-- Splane's ego
-- Sanderson's appetite
-- Morris' thirst for single-malt
