Even if 90% have had the jab, that leaves 1 in 10 that have no protection whatsoever in an indoor environment and no fresh air coming in, particularly during winter months. Seems a recipe for spreading covid I would say

The governing body are here to stay Im sure. They love all the attention they get, and JWs completely buy into the arrangement. I think more congregations will share halls even if it means the members have to travel further. But i cant see them ever getting rid of the majority of halls as they are such brilliant cash cows for the org. Why stop building them with free labour, then selling them on in a few years for a huge profit?

To be fair to them, they have for decades shown negative figures in their annual service report. I live in the uk, and there has been almost zero growth for years now. Any growth is often because of born ins, but even that is not high considering that two thirds of them leave the religion once they are adults (pew report)

JWs regularly have get togethers where they enjoy others company just like any non JWs. There are restrictions though. So no drugs, no smoking and drinking alcohol in moderation. Also dressing modestly and non sexual dancing are required.
So for anyone wanting any of those things you could say they are party poopers. Personally I was always quite happy with those conditions, and any non JW parties I go to now, I would prefer those conditions.

Could end of November be special?
by Kosonen indid you know that noah entered the ark in the end part of november and also that jesus' followers flead jerusalem around 25th of november 66ce?.
could it be that a significant group of jehovah's witnesses would begin to flee to the "wilderness" in the end of november?
revelation 12 speaks about a flight of a symbolic woman to a wilderness.

Help needed - Did the GB receive Covid money?
by iwasblind inthis is not a political post regarding the vax jab, (let's not go there) but i personally know many who were disturbed by the gb pushing it in the update #7. .
it is odd as they never really get involved and always do the stupid "conscious" thing whenever they don't want to take responsibility.. then i saw this article - https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/08/03/898753550/religious-groups-received-6-10-billion-in-covid-19-relief-funds-hope-for-more?t=1632597803079&fbclid=iwar0ly8k1fb3cdgknmmxs9aruz-wtex6sir9_uz2uxofkae4iyk7sm5r1ndu&t=1632598929611.
there is a report with itemized churches and the amounts they were given.
