If this doesn’t prove it’s all about the money for Watchtower, I don’t know what does. It proves their no. 1 priority is the financial health of the Pennsylvania Corporation.

How Many Prayed For Our Poor Mexican Brothers to the South ?
by Sea Breeze inprior to 1990 - as witnesses, we were frequently told about our poor mexican brothers who weren't "allowed" to use any literature out in field service, and how they weren't allowed to sing songs or use the bible at meetings.
they had to use code language like "the symbol" instead of baptism.
oh the persecution!

You normally need some "crime" to have occurred to sue someone, some violation of a law or standard. What exactly do you believe they have done to you directly? I think you'll find they haven't done anything, but people you know have
Yes the horrible truth is they generally don’t disfellowship people for talking to disfellowshipped family, especially if you’re fairly discreet about it. It’s much more subtle and nefarious than that.
For sure they’ve got more hardline about it recently, portraying good JWs in video and print as shunning family. But in most cases, the worse that would happen is removal of the dubious privilege of being an elder, servant or possibly pioneer. All depending on their local need for servants etc and the popularity of the JW who continues a relationship with DF family.
If push came to shove and they were at risk of loosing lots of lawsuits, I’m sure they could dig up plenty of dubs who continue to see their DF kids etc.

The republicans that Trump persuaded not to use mail in ballots didn't show up at the poles. He sunk his own chances to win. Karma's a bitch.
Wazza. Yes I tend to think this had a major effect on his numbers, especially since this could be an issue for older, rural voters.

Democratic candidates benefit from large amounts of people voting, so by making it easy to vote with mail in ballots sealed the deal for Biden. Yet another way the pandemic caused Trump to lose.
And Republicans benefit from the level of I.D. they demanded this election in order to vote.
Before you cry foul and say but these illegals shouldn't vote I'm talking about the POOR who typically will be the ones without drivers licences (no car(, passports (no foreign holidays) , no rent card or any number of other documents that comfortable people take for granted. Also the young are less likely to have these documents to hand and they again typically are within the Democrat demographic.

Congregation Letter - 2021 Magazines Delayed???
by JWTom inwe had a letter read in our cong.
last week that said the public wt and awake would be delayed during the beginning of 2021. meaning we would just use the 2020 version into 2021 and there would be no new ones at the beginning of 2021 until an undetermined time sometime during the 1st half of 2021. at least that is the gist that i remember.
it was in what atlantis provided but there was no further detail....very brief.. any more intel or speculation on this?

the end of this system is dependent upon the "good news" being spread throughout the earth, a few well placed television, radio and internet ads could have the job done in a matter of hours. They could briefly tell people the gist of the message and where to learn more about it. The supposed end to mankind suffering could happen within the year.
I agree, but that would involve the actual Corp JW.org spending their own money, and they'd never do that!!!!

The covid vaccine and microchip fears
by BourneIdentity inwhy is there a group so fearful of being tracked?
if you carry around a cell phone, your every movement is being tracked, even if you disable it.
court proceedings have shown google and apple can hand all the data over of all your movement.

This is how the old media and their corporate arms gets Boaty McBoatface
Oh that was so funny. They're actually calling the on-board mini-submersible Boaty macBoatface😂
So if you poll Twitter about a thing, whether it's vaccines or elections or wokeness, you are more likely to get either the extremists or the trolls,
Or, most likely, 14 year old boys with typical 14 year old boys sense of humour!

Scrolls were expensive so unless they had a Watchtower Bible & Scroll Society using free labour back then it would have been beyond most people's means.
Lol 😂Also pre 70 CE (and this is an assumption) I would guess the Hebrew scrolls would have been considered somewhat precious, if not Holy if they contained the tetragrammaton, so not something to be dragged around the streets in a dusty cart or bag. Rather kept in the temple etc.
As someone stated previously very few could read, including the apostles, who were fisherman etc!!

Do You Ever Wonder Where Are They Now?
by minimus ini remember so many witnesses who were pretty liberal minded.
i knew some that were the ones someone would talk to to get a “balanced “ perspective.
they were not hardliners.
