My son is a JW elder, and has not phoned me once during the crisis, even though i am nearly 70 years old. Same as always he is quite ok talking to me when i phone him, but he only phones me when he wants something.

Watchtower were very slow to embrace the internet. So probably while other businesses were arranging togoing online, Watchtower were busy warning their members about the dangers of the internet. They would have had no idea that Watchtower online would take over most of their printing.

The org has the whiole world to pick a good story from. Its really not that hard. Wont change the fact that they have almost as many leaving by the back door as those coming in the front door.

For anyone who takes the trouble to research the subject, it is far, far better to be living now than any time in past centuries. I was lucky I was born after WW2, so missed some of the bad things that happened then. So although there have indeed been reports of war, it is nothing compared to past centuries. Same for food shortages and pestilences.

I used to be a mini servant. They have to be seen as setting an example, and in my case two elders came round asking me why i wasnt having a bible study with my unbaptised son. So Im just warning you. But dont get baptised whatever happens otherwise they will have a very strong hold on you.

Most of that letter was just saying what the governments have been saying anyway. It sickens me that jdubs will think the org is taking care of them, when actually all the advice and rules are coming from 'Satan's governments'

Curious to know the Zoom attendance figures for for the memorial
by joe134cd ini’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.
my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.
i was sort of surprised at this considering the quarantine measures and everyone being forced to stay at home.

Any figures this year are not very likely to be accurate. I know the org still want those figures, but they wonr be able to do any bragging about increase this year. I suppose all they can say is that the memorial still went ahead world wide so that shows Jehooba is blessing his people lol

Covid 19, is this the WT new push to bring back ex JW's before the end of the system?
by William Penwell innot sure if this was covered as i could not find anything on it but talking to my son he tells me one of the gb had a talk telling them this is a sign of the last days.
have the jw's being pressured into talking to relatives and friends to bring them back into the fold before the end of the system blah blah blah?
the reason why i ask is my son was saying his mother has being on his case the last few weeks and then two days ago i got a telephone message from my sister, that hasn't spoke to me in 4 years, asking how i am doing.

Whenever there is any large disaster the JWs jump on it to prove that we are living in the last days. The latest virus pandemic, is tailor made for them to frighten people to come back to the org. However once its all over, it will be interesting to see what happens. My guess is that there will be a small increase this service year in publishers, but then less and less in the years to come.
