When you hear the Borg say "scientists'' say or ''researchers'' say,, I'd like to know what scientist they are quoting or what researcher they are quoting from.
Because they can't.

JWs Still Attending on Zoom
by XBEHERE inanother topic based on a conversation with a friend living near warwick (i talked to him over the weekend).
he said that cong's in and around bethel, including his, are slowly starting to see an uptick with people attending in person his cong is pretty much 75%+ in person.
however there are many that still use zoom as a fall back.

The Mark Martin youtube channel had a video on this a few weeks ago.
It"s called "loaded - language" too.
Things like "bible based" publications. And '"honest - hearted" ones.
He related that these terms actually meant WT publications and the latter one is a gaslighting term to those who feel the need to have the WT influence their lives or otherwise vulnerable to WT teachings at the time.

And people plan their lives around this stuff. On such ''qualifying'' words.

It's just the same old JW rhetoric and circular reasoning,
Resulting in doubts, depression and all these things.

JWs Using the system
by XBEHERE ini have it on good authority from a friend living near warwick that many bethelites filed for covid-19 economic relief from the us govt.
he said that one bethelite actually told him that they were being instructed to file some sort of income, not sure of the logistics of that with the vow of poverty and all, but if they did that then they would qualify for economic relief.
basically getting thousands of dollars for free.

Government investigation firms-up their persecution "complex".
It can work in a reverse way.

Do Your Own Research.
by LostintheFog1999 inthere were several times when i was inside the congregation that i met up with a problem in my life and on mentioning it at a group i would be told to do my own research about it.. of course, they didn't mean for me to research worldly material for the answer but to use the wt indexes and look into the wt society magazines.. it was only when i started to do my own research outside of the wt that i began to see the limited scope of the society's magazines as all problems usually fell into the category of 1. read the bible, attend meetings, go out on the work, and pray; or 2. this isn't going to be fixed now but in the new world god will sort it out and the former things (what you are suffering from now) will not be called to mind.. i wonder how many people still in are struggling and are not being encouraged to research away from the organisation where they would receive practical and valuable advice?.

There "might" or "could" be more earthquakes, likely.
