If the JWs really believed this scenario was coming, when the pioneers "simplified", they would have sold their luxurious home, driven past the apartment building, and moved to rural real estate, invested in canned food, bottled water, and munitions.

I might have accused you of pranking us, wifibandit, because this video is truly terrible on every level: script, set design, costume design, and awful acting. This is so poorly done, that I couldn't believe WT would produce something like this... but, I recognized "Br. Brown" and his wife from bethel. WT has sunk to a new level of craziness. And it's not just crazy, it's lame. Zombies are rampaging planet earth (and have evidently already eaten the JW elderly and children), and these people still have electricity and are sitting around listening to a couple boast about how self-sacrificing they are.
It appears from the video that the couple "sacrificed" their house, their TV, and their cute little dog. So, to simplify your lives and please Jehovah's most holiest GB, NO PETS!

New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone
by Doubtfully Yours inwith last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.
damn it!!!
am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

iPad, eh?
I remember JWs saying that iPad was an acronym for Internet Pornography Access Device.

124 and 107 are different buildings.
Whatever the case, this is a lot of money disappearing down the WT rabbithole.

This JW Mom advised Sophie to talk to the girl with two Moms about the hope of paradise and playing with animals.
This JW Mom did NOT advise Sophie to talk to the girl about her two Moms - especially about Jehovah's view of their marriage.
Maybe Sophia isn't like my niece. If you said anything in front of her, be prepared for everyone to hear all about it. She had no filter as a child, even now in her twenties we have to be prepared to shush her up and change the subject. Even if you swore her to secrecy, "oops, I forgot the party was supposed to be a surprise." I could easily have seen her in this case go back to school and tell Karrie all about the paradise, the animals, and the resurrection... and then continue the conversation with how she couldn't live there because she has two mommies who are trying to sneak bombs onto airplanes.
Makes me wonder how the conversation between Caleb and his friend that gave him the Sparlock toy was supposed to have gone down. "I threw it away because I didn't want to make Satan happy."

Zero homosexual JW's can find a mate.
There have been plenty of gay JWs that have married a JW of the opposite sex. As Sophia's mom explains, "...he (Jehovah) knows how we can be happiest. That's why he invented marriage the way he did.... And you know what? People can change!" Pretty straightforward here that marriage (one man and one woman marriage, that is) is supposed to guarantee happiness. And Sophia's mom says plainly that a person's sexual orientation can change. Makes it pretty clear that as far as she is concerned, whether she's with a man or a woman doesn't matter to her, but she married a dude because Jehovah said it would make her happy and get her into paradise. Maybe she had to dump a girlfriend in order to get through the Kingdumb Haul gaydar detector.
So now Sophia is supposed to start recruiting her little classmate so those two mommies will get gay divorced and marry a couple of fine JW brothers, perhaps also gay divorced. Homosexual JWs marrying a JW of the opposite sex in order to change their desires? Homer Simpson was more accurate when he explained, "I guess some people never change. Or, they quickly change, and then quickly change back."

It would seem from this video that the only reason JWs get married is because it makes Hojovah happy. Mom made no statements about how much she enjoyed being married to her husband and how wonderful the "one man and one woman" marriage and "biblical" family arrangement was.
Nope. No personal testimony from Sophia's mom about the wonderfulness of heterosexuality. Rather, she made it sound like homosexuality was something that everyone had to give up in order to please god. You know, like birthday parties and Christmas presents and Halloween costumes and Easter candy and after-school sports and music and a university education and a hundred other fun and potentially beneficial activities.
So, it's not that people really want to be straight. It's just that they have to give up being gay or being "two moms" in order to please Hojovah.
I suspect that the parents of Caleb and Sophia may have a sham marriage.

Welcome Dreamerdude!
That's what woke my wife briefly, until she was able to rationalize that he is just an imperfect human.
And that is now a line you can repeat after anything they say or publish, "the GB are just imperfect humans."
I was slapped wide awake by the notorious Tony Tight Pants Rant at the Annual Meeting.
With all the problems in the world and in the organization, Tony addressed this as problem #1 that deserved attention. In honor of the fact that this was what slapped you awake, I suggest this as your exJW theme song:
