So this whole thing now is letter writing? No face to face witnessing? Seems like an exercise in futility to me....they really think vague mail from religious nuts is going to make any meaningful impression on any level other than the egos of the perpetrators?

30Worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.
by smiddy3 indoes anybody know what this message will contain ?
is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?
or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.

Cowardly Change of Policy in the UK
by Slidin Fast inthe britain branch has called a confidential meeting tonight with a controversial announcement.
the message is of such import that it was transmitted by word of mouth only, nothing in writing, ears only.
a decision made by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and transmitted orally down the chain of command, a decision proving the leadership of this spirit lead body.. the gdpr laws in the uk have been interpreted by wt lawyers so that all record keeping relating to the public has been banned, telephone witnessing and letter writing also, forbidden.. now in a show of supreme bravado the publishers are to be informed that if they wish to, if they dare, they may write to people at their own risk.. bear in mind, nothing is in writing.

So...basically field service is reduced to send someone a stupid letter if you dare...and watch some stuff on your computer screen constitutes meeting attendance. Sounds to me like this religion is eddying down the drain into oblivion.

Resolution passing with zoom
by jonahstourguide inhi folks.. i put this in practices as i thought that appropriate.
perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.
not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.. at the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by jackson, ( melbourne australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation".

Seriously!!!??!! That is ...bizarre. Let us know if you disagree so we can beat you with a stout stick. This religion just gets stupider and more ridiculous ....some of this stuff is hard to believe anyone takes them seriously.

Watchtower Study 23rd August
by BluesBrother inthe subject is searching for lost sheep.
how do the congregation view the inactive ones who no longer associate?
not with disdain, we are told but as lost sheep “still our brothers “ it is said that god loves them and they too must do what they can to help them.. why have we strayed ?

Tonight's Meeting
by Studyover induring tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.
it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".
i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.

This is disgusting. If you have money to donate to a person or a cause....do your due diligence...find out if it is a legitimate need and take care your hard earned $$$ goes where you intend and not to some scamming crook. And religions are notorious scams.

I remember polio...I had childhood friends who contracted the disease prior to the vaccine.. I saw the broken body ...the results of the disease. We stood in line in the school gym and got the polio vaccine. We were protected from the horrid ravages of the disease.
I had a case of severe measles that could have killed me as a kid if I weren't tough enough. That was before the measles vaccine.
Take the damn shot and shut up. The shot cannot give you one hundredth of the negative consequences the illness might cause. And have a little respect for your fellowman and their well-being.
