Not to mention short bursts of social media “product”is addictive in and of itself and slowly destroys ones ability to concentrate on weightier written pieces. pieces more likely to, at the very least, get a witness using their critical thinking ability, even if this is in another field.

I don’t know if you’re aware, Simon, but the U.K. government have just said that we’re going to be having a yearly vaccine program and probably winter “lock downs” for the foreseeable future.
This means the door to door work, imho, is effectively finished in the U.K. After all who wants strangers bringing goodness knows what germs to your door uninvited??? It certainly rules out the preaching work for the over 60s, the backbone of the congregation, too. Plus of course there’s the further complication of data protection rules for the org.
Online meetings really may be the only viable way of maintaining safety for the Governing Body’s “piggy bank” ..... the older members of the Org.
NB totally agree Slim

The Governing Body have zero idea of what these videos look like to ordinary people.
Terrifying a little boy into believing that God might desert him, reject him and punish him for eating a piece of cake so as not to upset a friend.
And they wonder why some nations regard them as extremist cults???

There is a scripture for every tune you want to play on the Bible.
I agree Smiddy, unless you want to show that slavery is evil, then strangely the Bible is silent on NOT owning another human....it only supports slavery and guilts or threatens slaves to remain with their masters.
no st. George of ANGLEland I think Stan is being acutely funny!

New JW study book / method announced on JW Broadcast
by Funky inso did anyone catch the january jw broadcast?.
it's the "spiritual content" of what would have been introduced in the october annual meeting, had the october annual meeting taken place.. morris, splane, and jackson introduce a new jw study publication: "live forever eternally - an interactive guide".. details were sparse, but apparently it is a 256 page book (when in actual printed form), primarily designed to be used in its electronic form, stuffed with links to videos.. it is designed to be "just one book" to be studied prior to baptism, where "all 60 questions that baptism candidates have to know" are found in just one place.. the purported reason is to make jw "bible" studies more "productive", i.e., lead to more baptisms.. splane brought out the governing body's "great concern" that 10 million+ "bible" studies are conducted by jws every year, but the number of baptisms has been stuck at 200,000 - 300,000 per year for decades.
so the thinking is, this new book + a "new method of conducting studies" (again, no real detail, but apparently it involves more "discussion" and less "question and answer").. want to know my thoughts?

The British government has ordered 100 million doses of the Oxford vaccine, enough to vaccinate 50 million people. Other countries will be watching closely: Australia has ordered over 50 million doses, Canada 20 million, and worldwide over 2.5 billion doses have been preordered. AstraZeneca expects to be able to supply large numbers of doses within the first quarter of 2021.

In with my kids. This was the worst year of my life. I lost my brother.
My upstairs neighbors lost their dad/husband in a bike accident last month.
Bloody awful year.
AstraZeneca Oxford vaccine will stop COVID-19 in its tracks this year. No Armageddon Watchtower! Mankind and science has come to our aid....no god. We make our own paradise.....it’s already here.

More school age children die of the common flu every year than will die of Covid-19. Do we shut down schools every winter and lockdown businesses??
We're not closing schools to protect kids, they're fine, but to protect teachers, parents and the community.
This is NOT just another flu....currently of the cohort in the UK that caught Covid19 at the same time as me 10% HAVE BEEN ADMITED TO HOPSPITAL and the NHS is almost at breaking point.

am so glad that here in the U.K. Fighting the virus, as well as the need for less destructive economic practices are not seen as political issues or “left” policies .
Amen to that Blues brother.
Politicizing this awful "two faced" pandemic is evil (2 faced because it goes through the very young in a day, the over 40s like a demon)...im a healthy 50 year old and it nearly KILLED ME😡 So take this pandemic seriously and yes I commend watchtower in this case for doing the right thing.
WE ARE DESTROYING this planet....theres too many of us. We're killing so many species it's horrific. Our grandkids will suffer terribly...but many of you guys won't be around to see it. So live in your delusion.
