I'm pretty sure this push is coming from the governing body. When I was in it and an elder back in 2001 I got a call from an elder in a nearby cong. who gave me the message to spread the message of hope and comfort citing a script. about Jah being a god of comfort. For sure the Org was involved.

E-MAIL Shepherding during Covid stay at home
by wannabefree inmy wife is getting regular emails from the cobe ... you know we have the truth, the world is in the dark, we're special, hang in there, read this encouraging watchtower ... blah blah blah ... just wondering if these are coordinated from org.. recent mass email example .... " .... an excellent watchtower article in the july 2020. it is entitled “be convinced that you have the truth”.
the scripture is from 2 tim 3:14. we are to continue in the things we have learned and be persuaded to believe.
reflect for a moment what appealed to you about the truth which drew you to jehovah.

Of course it bothers me that anybody is getting killed over what they think. Is there an answer? Does anybody know what to do to keep this from happening? My personal feelings about this is, we choose our lives and we live with the consequences and, we die with the consequences so Christians will go to heaven or, get resurrected, or believe whatever it is they think will be their outcome, "reward". That being said, I say "no I don't want to see Christians persecuted, it's wrong. it is so wrong. What can I do about it other then live my life with complete love and understanding and be at peace. I think it was Jimmi Hendrix that said "Peace begins within".

And JW's are not allowed to think about sex? O_o

It was tough as a man, I remember going to the Kingdom hall and praying that Jah take my strong sexual desire away from me. My then wife, I like to call her my practice wife was not much when it came to sex and I was lucky if we did it once a week, now that I'm remarried with my real wife I'm so happy that god didn't answer my prayer.

Reinstatement
by Pinky inwhat questions do the elders ask you when you are in your meeting requesting to get reinstated ?.
-
-
ldrnomo
They ask these things:
Have you fully repented from your sinful ways?
Did you ask Jehovah for forgiveness?
Do you pray regularly?
If your sin affected others did you apologize to them?
Do you study regularly?
Do you witness to others about Jehovah?
These questions will give you some general ideas.

Enlightenment, Will It Be A Rather Common Experience In The Future?
by Brokeback Watchtower init has been said by some that an enlightened being came/happened once every 500 years, but now they seem to be popping up all over the place.. the buddha had to meditate like hell, he even starved himself to attain it.
monks spend many years doing some are successful some are not.. i think with science looking into these nirvana states of mind that they will figure out a way to end suffering for the human species which will usher in a whole different way of life with higher intelligence running things.
from my understanding of enlightenment it is a sort of rewiring of the brain where the signals go up pleasure side of the amygdala where as painful emotions and sensations go up the other side.

In my opinion. Certain drugs can accelerate this phenomena.

Hideout for predator
by ab.ortega ini read this comment posted on a news site: .
if the police show up at the kingdom hall looking for a sexual predator, the elders will escort them out an emergency exist and tell them to "hide out until the coast is clear.".
is this true, is there printed instructions to support it?
-

ldrnomo
I doubt there are any printed instructions to the elders for a procedure like this, however it wouldn't surprise me if there were some sort of word of mouth "principles" talked about in some congregations.
