Why would they want to allow something that is a bit of fun? Let people miss out on all those birthday parties at school, in addition to all the holiday events and just about everything else that is fun. Celebrating a birthday would cost washtowel money, plus give the children whose birthday is being celebrated something better than field circus to do.

Will the faithful slave now allow birthdays..........
by BoogerMan in.....or ban jw sisters from using mascara??????
"the bible never refers to a servant of god celebrating a birthday.
this is not simply an oversight, for it does record two birthday celebrations by those not serving god.

I bet this is the start of a whole bunch of rules, which will vary in different congregations and be selectively enforced by one or another hounder. You are not in field circus? We will make sure you have no choice but to come out, and forcibly bring you into compliance (and any disassociation attempt will be thrown in the trash, at our discretion). Those useless masks will be required, not just at boasting sessions and field circus but everywhere in public.
And vaccination. At their discretion, they will impose mandatory vaccinations on individuals, congregations, or circuits. Does one of the hounders or the hounder-hounder feel everyone needs to be vaccinated against this "disease" which is about as serious as a very mild case of poison ivy at its worst? Guess what--they will issue a directive in their congregation or circuit that anyone not vaccinated is guilty of "brazen conduct". As is any individual that someone feels should be vaccinated but is not--and it takes only one to be "stumbled" to get this imposed. And no, the Amazon "shot" does not qualify as "vaccination".
And where does this stop? Field circus now (and yes, they will be pressured or forced, locally or regionally), Israel or Africa missions (some of which could take your whole life) next? And even if you don't "need" a coronavirus vaccine locally, you will "need" one to board a plane to Israel or Africa. And all it takes is someone to decide that, in lieu of disfellowshipping, they will simply hound you into forced compliance to all these rules (including 200 hours a month of field circus, vaccinations, Africa missions that take whole lifetimes, and "exemplary" rules).

3 years in the making
by Judgerussellford inthursday while i was at work, a new elder stopped by the house (almost 3 years after fading) to encourage us to go back to meetings.
said everyone misses us.
if you did, why not stop by and say hi every now and then?

Any hounder wants to pull that stunt on me? I hope you, and the whole group of hounders you send, know German. Otherwise, you will get nowhere.

And what are they going to do when a number of fully vaccinated, fully boosted people get sick with coronavirus during field circus? I suppose they are going to start hounding people to get those shots, despite they do no good.
And they will be hounding those who do not go out in field circus, including those who were inactive before they stopped. Get vaccinated (and boosted, if your last shot was more than 6 months ago), get into full compliance with the washtowel rules in their strictest interpretation, waste your time going door to door (exposing yourself to tuberculosis--I wonder how that will impact those who got their coronavirus shots), and prepare for another series of Israel missions (that segue into Africa missions that go on indefinitely). Not what I was hoping for.
Good thing I got my books on the French language on Amazon a couple of months ago. Given that they want to force me back under this pretext, it is going to come in handy.

And never mind whether or not the religion itself is the pandemic. They start hassling me to go back to their boasting sessions and in field circus, of course with a mandatory diabetes/heart attack/stroke shot for the wimpiest disease on the planet. (And the masks.) Then it's time to start me pious-sneering (of course, with me not attending those abominations for so long, they will take away my freedom to not go at all). They will, of course, use my baptism as a legally binding contract--as they see me as being too valuable for joke-hova to use to enslave the whole planet to lose just because of my worshiping the sun or posting apostate posts.
And, once back in under tight supervision, it's time to go to my mandatory Africa mission. Where--well, that is up to them. And refusing is not an option--because of that contract that was "signed" by my getting baptized under the watchful eyes of the hounders that were present. Better make sure I get more proficient in French, because half the countries they send people to are French speaking.
And never mind getting the wimpiest disease on the planet. Just going back to boasting sessions and field circus exposes you to strains of the flu that are worse, plus hepatitis B, tuberculosis, and who knows what else. And going to Africa on missionary work exposes you to yellow fever, malaria, sleeping sickness, and so many parasites that could be dangerous. Plus HIV is widespread there, and just about everyone there has (or potentially has) tuberculosis or something else that could infect me and make me suffer excessively (more publicity for the washtowel).
No, it doesn't stop at just attending in-person boasting sessions (with those vaccinations that only make the above infections even worse than they already are). I wonder how many of them can understand German. They had better--I intend to respond in German to anyone that tries roping me into getting all this filth on my soul, plus spreading it to the whole world.

Do they have to face rent increases of 50% and more? We certainly do. Do they face collapsing home prices, where big companies are buying homes out from the public so they can rent them at exorbitant prices? And what about electricity? I wonder where their rolling blackouts are. And are they going to worry about being drafted into World War III?
And the little things. Do they drive mile after mile, kilometer after kilometer, seeing whole sections of forest ruined by invasive species such as Chinese wisteria, oriental bittersweet, porcelain berry, common buckthorn, and whatever invasive vines are growing in their area? Or do they simply fly first class to get to their destinations (to heaven with their "carbon footprint")? Do they deal with stupid little issues such as all the litterbugs that ruin our streams and highways?
Not to mention the irritation of going into your favorite store and finding your items all out of stock, for months at a time. And no, not just the latest Nintendo game. Items like baby formula, toilet paper, cat food, cleaning supplies, and staple food items. And when they do come back in stock, the prices are double and the packages are about half the size they used to be. Or, the customers that blame the stock person for these shortages--which are more widespread, yet they insist that the person stocking it is to blame. And pretty soon, we will have nothing but Walmart to shop at--do they care about that abomination being the only place you can shop at, or do they shop exclusively there?

New Light, New Light!
by BoogerMan inmore accurately known as a reversal of a long held 'truth.'.
september 2022 study watchtower - par.
14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.

Why resurrect those practicing "vile" things in the past, just to judge them for such in the future? Either they are worthy of a favorable judgment, or it would be completely stupid to waste the time and energy resurrecting them only to have to destroy them.

JWs still paranoid about covid
by neat blue dog inin the newest governing body update loesche recounts the experience of a jw who was pleased with the results of resuming in-person ministry.
he said, 'i thought people would be scared of the virus, but they were welcoming!
' - 🤣 um maybe he doesn't get out much because kingdom halls are one of the few places left except hospitals that require masks.

They didn't seem too scared of it when it was still new, and when next to nothing was known about it. How dangerous is it? They could have been spreading a disease as serious as the Plague, for all we knew about it back then--yet they were still doing field circus door to door.
Now, we know that it barely causes any sickness at all--and that being exposed to it while taking simple quercetin will render the "disease" so wimpy that you would get sicker simply breathing the dry cleaning fumes from people's suits. And yet they still expect people to wear those useless masks, after we know they do not work and that the "disease" is the wimpiest on the planet? Not to mention, trying to require vaccines that are the real threat as a condition to returning, on the whim of just one hounder?

Erotic cringey convention drama
by neat blue dog incheck out this convention drama, starting at 21:38 ... david breaths and describes what he sees as bathsheba takes a bath 😅 then they get together and keep weirdly quoting song of solomon in a twisted way... and he keeps calling her sister and later on even "little sister" 😳 just wacko:.

And why do they keep on highlighting this tyrant? Are they pretending to be Jews in the Promised Land, or on their way there? (Which they are not.) What next, using an outdated map of Israel to get around even when they are not there? Obeying the whole Mosaic code? Imposing the full of Noahide Law on the whole world, or within the congregation?
And if they are disobeying Natural Law by keeping this filthy law of the bible (and I don't care which "testament"--both go against nature), of course they are going to "sin". Perhaps the problem is, not with people disobeying these rules, but the rules themselves?

Did the ransom sacrifice even work?
by Sharpie inshower thought entered my mind the other day... jesus christ.

The whole concept of "original sin" is a tool to remove all hope from the earth. You condemn us for not following laws from some alien world, which defy nature. Then you invent some archetype of the perfect slave, "sacrifice" this never-existing entity, then expect everyone to act like this perfect slave. Once it reaches a sufficient level, it is imposed on all of humanity. And it worked--twice. The first time was when the xians (who were persecuted because they were subverting the Romans) got into the government and then persecuted regular people. And this time, they are pushing communism--our freedom is gone.
There is no ransom. We are all hostage, not to any original sin, but to the Pleiades laws that defy common sense. That thing they call a god wants to use us up and throw us away--the whole thing of its taking credit for creating us is another way to take away our rights to live proper lives in accordance to natural law. And, eventually we will all be hostages to Noahide Law--and with no ransom provided against that.
