'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?
you lost your job and you searched for another one.
finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.
Can the GB'ers be so out of touch?
That they don't realize how stupid their counsel sounds?
I guess that's what they meant when they wrote about instructions that don't seem reasonable from a sane person's point of view.
It's a Cult, yup, it is definitely a very unreasonable statement, but what can we expect from a Cult leader who has all his needs taken care of and doesn't have a clue what people in the real world go through just to make ends meet and survive.
i've already posted in an earlier thread how the pandemic benefits the org in that it presents it an excuse to go completely electronic and sell all buildings (if that's what it wants).
however, there is another way the pandemic benefits the org; it presents it an excuse for declining numbers.. many of us have wondered just how much of a downturn there's been in jw land in recent years.
we've wondered whether the org was playing with the numbers to make the situation appear better than it was.
I think if the figures start going south they wont report them and only highlight positive percentages here and there as silly as these may be
correct me if i'm wrong but about the same time this was activated was when the wt.
came out with the "we may receive instructions that may not seem practical from a human standpoint".
and it has been emphasized greatly regarding covid measures that "we must obey the superior authorities".
@JeffT, rounding up the "Republicans" you say... Interesting,
maybe just the Trumpublicans. Them Trumpeople can go! But,
I personally tend to like the Lincoln Project and Libertarian folks,
they can stay.

in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).
now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.
is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.
Meleti at Beroean Pickets just put out this video interviwing Dr. James Penton of Apocalypse Delayed, about matrimony and what Rutherford taught about it which is very very different from current JW doctrine
thanks petra and atlantis for sending the latest letter regarding the watchtowers plan for a worldwide campaign in november this year.
i am wondering what they are planning to achieve from this campaign, particularly their focus on sending the watchtower 2020 no.
2, titled "what is god's kingdom" to politicians, governments (and tribal leaders) around the world.. it would appear that this is their answer to governments who have put them in the spot light for their bad policies, particularly their handling of child abuse.
Campaigns like this are the 0rganization's way of self pleasuring, and this Watchtower issue is wetter than a Bethel dorm pillow.
i am looking for old publications in pdf to complete my collection.
1900 watch tower index 1895-1899.
1976 watch tower publications index 1971-1975. frederick william franz (1977-1992).
yeah some links to an old Google Drive are dead, not a good idea to link to a google drive if you want a permanent link but the archive.org site has a tonne of old WT publications let the reader use discernment
has anyone noticed that the colour purple comes from mixing red and blue, and that the red triangle meant political prisioner and the blue triangle meant foreigner?
purple also comes from mixing pink and blue, foreign homosexual or sexual offender.
that's how the nazis wieved the bible students.
aWhaaaaaasa! Bizarre is definitelly the word for this. But lookee here...
Purple was expensive to make, therefore it was associated with the rich and royalty, so to mock Jesus as King of the Jews, they put a purple mantle on him, this led to it being associated with the followers of Jesus, the Bibelforscher/JWs were put in camps because they saw Jesus as their only king not the Fuehrer Hitler not any man and preached the Kingdom so their distinctive patch in the concentrstion camps was purple, easy peasy, no need for what sound like multichromatic LSD inspired explanations.

I think Atlantis received a 2020 letter pertaining to regular pioneers, but it is in Portuguese, so I am not sure what it says. If someone who speaks Portuguese wants the letter, I'll send a link to them and maybe they could clue us in on what it says.
Hi Petra (& Atlantis), Eu falo portuguĂȘs, I speak portuguese,
well Fall River Mass., Azorean variety that is, but it can't be
that different from Brazilian Portuguese. Send me the letter
and I'll translate it.
