i've been out of the loop for a while so some things have passed me by.
so i'm curious how jw's are affected by the covid virus.
are they still preaching or having meetings etc?.
I have a relative who every time I call , turns the conversation to :the last days" and how only the jw 's will be saved.
Good grief. The poor sod is trying to ‘get their time in’. It’s literally the only thing they can do now because they’ve been told “NO cold calling strangers - witness to people you already know only”!!!!
I’m guessing like most witnesses (who don’t mix with worldlies) iithat’s reduced the numbers right down - excluding active witnesses - well, er....to YOU.🙄😜

my husband hadn’t seen his sister for 10 years.
we were jehovah's witnesses and thanks to their disgusting, arbitrary brainwashing, 10 years of loving our family was wasted shunning them.
This was beautiful. Life is so so short. You never know when a loved one could be taken from you, so love,love, love them with all your heart.
I'm so happy for you all.❤❤❤
Watchtower has caused so much misery and heartache.
i have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.
he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.
people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.
1925 – Propaganda - a book written by Edward Bernays. He was Freud's nephew.
I think this man is the single most influential person no one's heard of of the 20th century

Doc what’s got into you lately?
To answer your question KSFernando, Jehovah’s witnesses often accuse Catholics, Anglicans etc of worshipping the cross. I think the correct term is ‘venerate‘. This is something they do on Good Friday, whereby they will kiss the cross as a way of showing respect for “everything it stands for”.
I think the subtle difference is utterly lost on witnesses, correctly or incorrectly. However I don’t see the difference between that and the behavior witnesses exhibit more and more, of gathering around an image of JW dot Org sign and pointing to it often kneeling before it!!! As in the link I shared above.
Witnesses have zero self awareness!!😒
so here i am 44 yr old divorced and free to remarry jw sister....first time single since i was 19. but guess what no single brothers in my area.
i’ve tried those stupid jw dating sites and still no luck.
oh yes there are tons of single brothers, but guess what...they all expect a hot barbie to come running into their life.
think this is me now. Single, aloof but a bloomin' good grandfather.
You’re a star, Punky. Your grandkids will never forget it. My grandfather taught me everything, but most of all he taught me about unconditional love.
My kids, on the other hand....🤔I said to my son the other day, about some random incident “ That’ll be one to tell the grandkids”
response : “ Hmmm...not sure I’ll be having any. My experience of grandparents hasn’t been the best....”😔
It breaks my heart because I know how important grandparents can be. Should be. They had a wonderful uncle, though. The best❤️

Whoops sorry Love Ninja I didn’t know you were new to the board!🙀 Welcome, by the way. sorry I was only kidding. Poor taste and all that!
I’ll sit down and eat my food now, keep quiet!🤐

I think companies like Twitter and Facebook are incredibly powerful and have tremendous influence over how people think and their access to information. There comes a time when they are a whole other entity to regular online sites and need more rigorous regulation. It is a form of party contributions.
Look at Brexit. It was practically pulled off by Facebook ads (There was a scandal because there is a limit to how much money a political party can spend on advertising on a campaign in the UK. Facebook ads cannot be traced or counted, based in the states too)

Jehovah is the most important person to me, so I will wait.
Jehovah is mighty unfaithful....hes having "emotional affairs" with more than you!🙈😜😂😂
my JW wife left 8 years ago and has now re-married
I'm sorry to hear that Uncle Punky I thought you guys were still together
howdy everyone!
before i am accused of anything, i only came in here to fulfill a promise i made a couple of years ago.
this place keeps getting crazier.. i have a copy of a book that was given to me by a member of this group for free.
Plus, me, my wife and my son have gone through so much in our lives that we want more distancing from the JW past and anti-JW activism as time goes by. We have made a conscious effort to get more “normal”
Hey Edenone I’m so glad to see you’re doing ok. You really did go through a hell of a lot. I remember some of it. I’m glad you’re still around. You were always the voice of sanity!
sex issues seem to be the number one reason but apostasy is right up there too.
even if you weren’t disfellowshipped , do you know why some people you know were disfellowshipped?
?.
Whoops Stan was that a joke? Have I been indiscreet?😳didn’t give out names tho
