Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?
by jeremiah18:5-10 ini am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?
such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

Jehovah? Oh dear.
by Giordano insome recent new friends on this forum like friend kosonen are fixated with god's name being jehovah...unfortunately they are wrong:.
a quick bit of history:.
"about the 13th century the term “jehovah” appeared when christian scholars took the consonants of “yahweh” and pronounced it with the vowels of “adonai.” this resulted in the sound “yahowah,” which has a latinized spelling of “jehovah.” the first recorded use of this spelling was made by a spanish dominican monk, raymundus martini, in 1270.. interestingly, this fact is admitted in much jehovah’s witness literature, such as their aid to bible understanding (p. 885).

giordano is quite mistaken.
Jehovah is an adequate transliteration of the divine name into English.
Just like Elijah is correct.
Just like Jeremiah is correct.
Just like Joshua/Jehoshua is correct.
Just like Judah/Jehudah is correct.
As a matter of fact there is only one letter difference between Judah's name and the tetragram.
YHWDH is Judah which was pronounced according to its letters like YeHooDaH, and if you take that D out, you are left with the tetragram which should be pronounced then like Ye-Hoo-aH according to its Hebrew letters..
Write it as it would sound in Latin letters and you end up with Iehovah, since the letter I was like our English Y, and the V was like a W or OO sound.
In English spelling this became traditionally spelled with a J like so many other Bible names.

Zoom zoom rules +
by Wakanda in1. and this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting!
-oh, gawd.. 2. if you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison.
stick with something dignified and subtle.

Now the WT has acquired Zoom accounts with disaster relief funds to give out to elders for meetings. And I wonder how much this is reaching for more control of the sheeples? Since they own the accounts they have access to the video recording files and chat transcripts.

Has Anything Positive Come Out Of This Coronavirus Isolation For You?
by minimus ini guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.
less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.
if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.

During these days of precariously scarce toilet tissue, some of those Awake! bound volumes could come in very handy indeed!

Do You Believe Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted A Woman In The 90’s?
by minimus inthere is an allegation floating around saying he assaulted one of his female staffers .
most mainstream media do not report on this claim.
they either don’t believe it or don’t want to believe it.. funny how if it were brett kavanaugh or donald trump, they would be all over it.
