i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?
such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....
Roughly 1/3 of the participants I've seen on these Zoom meetings join without their own video camera on.
I'm quite certain at least 90% of those are in various states of casual dress/undress, or lying in bed, or eating, or drinking, or playing video games....
...or maybe all of those at once.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
hi guys,.
it's been a while since i posted here, but i feel like posting again.. it's hard sometimes to find the energy to post here after i expend all my time working a full time job and pretending i care about the wt$ at the same time.. i've been trying to slowly wake my girlfriend up ever since i first posted here, and i must say it is a long waiting game that i am playing right now.
almost all my efforts are dismissed and i've been slowly losing hope.. anyways, what i meant to really post here today is about old publications.. honestly anything that has to do with the watchtower and jdubs, as of recently makes me feel like vomiting.
How old is "old"?
Stuff from the 40s & later is pretty common, might as well just pitch it.
Stuff from the 30's & earlier might have some collector value, could be sold for a few dollars to perhaps hundreds of dollars.
Oh, and by the way, "shedding light on contradictory teachings" will change approximately, oh, let's see, about 0% of JW true believers. Google "cognitive dissonance" if you are unfamiliar with the term.
the old Twilight Zone episode "How to serve Humans"
If you're gonna be a TZ geek, geek correctly!
Episode was titled "To Serve Man".
What they don't tell you is that on the way, the plane crashes on the island of "Lost".
just saw this on the news tonight.
england has come up with a covid vaccine at the oxford university.
india wants to start using it in a couple of months.
Are there anybody on this forum who is knoweldgeable enough with expertise in this area to make
an informed opinion as to the effectiveness if any ,this drug has on the virus ?
I'm certainly no expert, but there's 2 new studies reported on in the JAMA and NEJM:

A new study -- the largest of its kind -- shows that hydroxychloroquine, the drug touted by President Trump, does not work against Covid-19 and could cause heart problems.
The study was published Monday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It follows a study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine that also showed the drug doesn't fight the virus.

Well, they are "dressed up" from the waist up, the part that shows on the Zoom screen.
All bets are off below the waist, though. I think there are more than a few shorts, yoga pants, etc.
....that a mass killer was roaming their streets.

now theyre struggling to believe the grim reaper is not so grim and it's safe to go outside again.. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-52669441.
the fit & healthy were put under house arrest. Absolute lunacy!
I can't wrap my head around comments like this.
It's been 2 frig-wigging MONTHS that we've known about asymptomatic carriers fer gawd's sake.
How is it possible that breathing creatures with an IQ at least in double-digits haven't heard that "fit & healthy" persons can be asymptomatic carriers and, if wandering about in crowds, can infect dozens or hundreds of other people in a matter of hours?
Is it ignorance? Short attention span? Intentional cruelty? Abject neanderthal stupidity? SMDH
i'm sure there's already topics on this but i couldn't find one so i'm starting my own.
is the kingdom hall scheduling program new?
is this where they are entering all of the members data now?
Cell phone carrier?
No one needs to know that. Something fishy there.
jehovah's witnesses are funny in that most have no objective, self-aware view of themselves.
they think they are the center of the universe, that their beliefs are undeniable facts, and are generally very entitled.
yet another added this:.

LOL. Yep.
Did you know that World War 2 was started by Satan himself, personally, for the sole reason of attempting of exterminate all JWs?
Oh, how about this one? JWs were having so much success in the 1950s, starting Bible studies with housewives who would then convince their husbands to join them, that Satan prompted economic downturns such that "houswives" had to go out and get jobs. Thus, no one was at home when JWs called there, and so they were not able to start so many Bible studies.
Oh there's a million stories like these.
why wasn’t judah punished for sleeping withtamar?
even though she had the legal right to an offspring by his family he still thought he was sleeping with a prostitute.
if it is wrong to even think of having relations with a woman similar to the “sin” of watching pornography why wouldn’t what judah did be wrong?
Wealthy males in the dominant ethnicity got away with, at times, literal murder.
A piddling little thing like "sleeping with your daughter-in-law because you think she's a hooker" wouldn't even rate a 2-line story in the Jericho Times.
Funny how little things change in 3000+ years.
