There is an us/them mentality. Those who follow direction and have a camera in their living room and those who prefer no invasion of privacy. The divide is real.

Magic that’s it. Out in service in a rich neighborhood some of the sisters were picking their post Armageddon houses. How in the hell are you gonna maintain that in a post industrial society without windex and toilet bowl cleaner, that is if you actually can have running water to flush.
Yep magic, Jehovah’s magic will make your shit flow downhill.

Communism in the USSR ended up as a failure. Everyone was supposed to be equal but a caste system developed as it always does. The little people doing the grunt work got tired of supporting the elites and it all fell apart. If the JW paradise was to come true and everyone got to take the spoils of the dead who will maintain the material possessions. Who’s gonna fix the roof that leaks and till the ground.
I know jehovah is supposed to bless the ground but some of the jws I know are completely clueless when it comes to what it takes to survive. They are mentally lazy and don’t think past next weeks Christian life and ministry.

How many TRUE BELIEVERS do you think are left in the Organization?
by pistolpete ini have a few jw relatives who are true believers.
by this i mean, they believe with all their heart that 1914 was the beginning of the last days, that this is the last generation, that we are in the very last of the last hour of this system of things, and that you should obey the governing body even if it does not make sense.
all of them are in their 60s and up into their 90s there is nothing you can say or show them to convince them or even cause a small doubt that the wt is not god organization.

Going to work as usual. It’s a Thursday. Catching up on paperwork at the office. As Jehovah’s witnesses we were raised to treat these days as any other day.

No one is forced to have a camera and microphone in their living room. They are guiltshamed but not forced. You can listen with microphone muted and camera off. Just sayin.

What I find disturbing is the encouragement from the organization to ultimately be lazy and steal from productive people.
People that work less in order to take advantage of government programs not intended for them are taking money from people who contribute to society. That’s how it works. It’s not government money, it’s taxpayer money. Somebody busted their ass and got taxed for it and a lazy Jehovah’s Witness took that guys money, ultimately their labour. Totally unethical, and for a religion to promote this behaviour is unacceptable.
Government programs are meant for those with disabilities or some other valid reason that they are unable to have a job so by encouraging publishers to be takers from society, Watchtower is taking funds from the most vulnerable of society.

Maybe the org is fudging the number of memorial partakers upwards. If all of the anointed were dead by now and no Armageddon they would have a serious problem on their hands. Increasing memorial partakers buys them the time that they need to formulate some new bullshit to keep the publishers making them money.

Covid19 deaths in the Jehovah's Witnesses
by yalbmert99 inin a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.
strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..

Human imperfection, church policy or hypocrisy?? Watchtower vs BMG
by lssjr inthis new lawsuit continues to compound undeniable evidence that jehovah’s witnesses is keener in monopolizing "the truth" or making "kingdom assets" an exclusive right, so that they can interests of their "king, jesus christ".
it is clearly evident also the they are willing to fight for frivolous and materialistic rights they believe they are entitled to, but when it comes to child sexual abuse issues and their role, they certainly love to twist and hide behind law, to escape blame and responsibility.. below is the full text from https://avoidjw.org/en/news/watch-tower-bmg-music/.
the court documents are also available for download in the aforementioned link.. further commentary can also be found on watchtower sues bmg rights management over aled jones song.

Watchtower didn’t write the song. Some jw musician wrote the song and signed over the rights to the watchtower religion. If I was that guy I’d be pissed.
