i recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.
the first was a few months ago and the second today.
the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.
I Have also recently watched a funeral via zoom and was shocked by how little was mentioned about the person. It started with a quick 30 - 45 sec overview of the persons life, then a 25min JW talk ending with another 30 to 45 sec talk about the person. Most watching would have been his non JW family members, im sure they would have been disgusted with it all.
we are pleased to inform you that, where possible, the 2021 circuit assembly with the circuit overseer (ca-co) program and the 2021 special meeting with regular pioneers, special pioneers, and field missionaries program will be broadcast via a product called jw stream–studio.
this product will allow attendees to watch a live stream of their circuit’s programs from their homes.
if this provision will be used in your circuit, the circuit overseer will provide further information to the elders.
That word for word was announced last night at our midweek meeting, we have our CA over zoom next week so will be interesting what it does.
he was the secretary before he resigned years ago.
he has a business that kept him involved with the kingdom hall.
the hall was sold to another church.
He must have been a rebel in days past, working for a church has always been discouraged, if not prohibited
But selling a KH to a church is fine.
i`m thinking of times when the jw organization has been hypocritical in their beliefs / practices .
they make sure they are no part of christendom in any way shape or form ,the understanding the r&f have of the organization.. the r&f members are not to have any dealings with christendoms religions in business or otherwise.. but what does the jw organization do ?
they sell watchtower property to christendoms churches for profit .. the r&f are to be separate from the world and call the league of nations and it`s successor the united nations the counterfeit kingdom of god ,the abhorrent thing standing in the place of god ?.
Continually being told to simplify our life, reduce the amount of hours we spend at work so as to spend more of our valuable time in serving jw.org or where the need is great. And then when finally you have gone too far and fall into financial hardship, it becomes the fault of Satan and this wicked old system of things.
the following institutions named in the royal commission and/or an application have not yet joined or signified their intent to join the scheme:.
jehovah’s witnesses .
among others i have not named as i`m only concerned about the jw`s on this forum .
Has ARC and all the media coverage has it affected the number of active JWs in Australia ?
I don't think so. Almost all JWs will show their loyalty and support to jw.org with greater respect than ever before. They have been told that Satan is the one behide this negative news and how they need to stand firm against all his lies, especially those that attack Jehovah's earthly organization. It would be so sad if any JW were to think that the redress scheme is set up to help and support victims.
are there any trinidadians in this forum?
if so, please post, would like to chat!

a comment on another thread cracked me up where the poster related what some elder said on the platform that: .
in the new system, we likely will not have genitals.” lol.
i’ve heard so much speculation from many jw’s on what will and won’t be allowed in the new system.
Won't be in a rush to do anything or go anywhere, because we will have forever to do it in.
What I find with even more head shaking disbelief, are the speculations about what will happen between now and the end of this system. What to expect etc. All fear inducing stuff to keep you in obedience to WT .
sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.
even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?
?.
I havnt heard of anyone getting disfellowshipping for years now, people seem to come & go (dissappear), and with some announcements that so & so has been reproved.
raised as a jo blow and married into it.
37 years in it and now last 7 years out of it which feels great.. have memories of being a kid in school in the uk and just hating everything about being the jw kid.
bullied, embarrassed in front of others and self-esteem went into the toilet.wished i was born into a different family.. what angers me is the messaging i would receive at home when i talked about being bullied.
I wasn't raised a jw. I'm so glad I wasn't. Thinking back at my enjoyable childhood, the great memories I had with school friends during and after school. I would not have had those happy memories if I had been raised a JW.
