It’s started COBE asking all appointed men if they are fully vaccinated
by Indoubtbigtime in

there is a huge problem now in all congregations as the gb stubbornly will not do the u turn on staying fully vaccinated that many hoped they would do.. all congregations around the world the cobe has to ask all ministerial servants and elders if they are fully vaccinated (meaning no more than six months since last shot).

there is a massive problem now with many many jdubs not getting their latest boosters and not wanting to stay fully vaccinated .

but more serious than that is how the gb painted themselves into a corner with these vaccine mandates.. most governments did a u turn on the vax mandates but the gb can’t get out of this one so easily .

Are the statistics out yet?

isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?

or have they stopped publishing it?

did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?

Are the teachings of JW—consistent?
by Fisherman in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i would belief so but if you can point something out, it can be discussed.. i don’t mean what jw taught in the past that they later realized was not correct and amended.

—unless you think and can show something like that is relevant.. i’ve spoken to a lot of believers from different religions.

i don’t want to bash any religion here under this topic but their beliefs are inconsistent and their reasons are sophistry and made up and grounded on circular reasoning.

Do you think the Door to Door KNOCKING - field service will EVER resume AGAIN?
by pistolpete in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.

(1992 franz death +80 more years).

if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.

New terminology? “Donations in Support of Kingdom Interests Worldwide”
by Ultimate Reality in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
petra/atlantis recently posted and supplied a document on donations.

what stood out to me, besides the usual nonsense, was the phrase, “donations in support of kingdom interests worldwide.”.

this appears to be a change in terminology from donations in support of the “worldwide work of jehovah’s witnesses.”.
