What I get from this is that bible students started going door to door because Russel was going broke.

8FOLLOW the MONEY : Pastor Russell makes it rain
by Terry inpastor russell: follow the money.
charles t. russell, age of 13, joined the congregational church (dumped presbyterian).. he went (like girl scouts are sent out with cookies to sell) door to door to raise money for the church.. russell hated fundraising.
he had to ask poor people to part with their money.

by pistolpete inso you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

The latest study about going back to the office after covid reveals that only 20% want to go back full time and most want a hybrid model of work at home and go to the office once or twice a week. I would assume jws would have the same feelings. What will probably be the deciding factor is if they can motivate jws over a tv screen as well as they can manipulate them in person.

You can now get disfellowshipped in 7 of 10 provinces. Looks like the pandemic is ending.

The last 10 to 15 years door to door has been pathetic. No one wants to do it. It’s driving around putting in time gossiping about brother not reaching out and sister got herself an education.

It looks like the WATCHTOWER—STUDY EDITION (SIMPLIFIED)'s last issue was December 2018
by Disillusioned JW ini looks like the last issue of the "watchtower—study edition (simplified)" (at least in english) was the december 2018 issue - see https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=ws&yearfilter= .
did anyone else notice that?.

I think they dumped the regular one and replaced it with the simplified one but still called it the study edition.

Time Indefinite
by StephaneLaliberte infrom a very young age, i was always annoyed by this translation time indefinite simply means: time that has not been defined.
where the new world translation uses "time indefinite", other translations use "everlasting" and "eternal".
honestly, it makes much more sense to me "everlasting" and "eternal" as "time indefinite" would leave room for god to define that time later on.

Eternal or everlasting life is a difficult term for the watchtower to use. It might imply that once you make it you would have everlasting life, which of course is only reserved for the leaders of the cult.
Time indefinite is much more appropriate as us peons might fail if we don’t do enough for them. Any good cult(or used car salesman) has to keep you interested enough to keep you in the sales funnel, while subtly telling you that you’re(or your trade in) is a worthless piece of shit.

Canadian Residential School Deaths
by Simon inin case you haven't heard, they just discovered the remains of some 215 dead children at a so called canadian residential school.
they couldn't call it a death-camp could they ... it would be too obvious.. these were where indigenous children were taken, forcibly, in order to "educate" them out of their native customs and languages and make them integrate with society.. unbelievably, this was still going on in the 60s to 90s.. of course the catholic church has their sticky fingers all over it.
what is it about those creepy bastards?

If the government goes after the Roman Catholic and Anglican Church it will be proof the great tribulation is starting in the minds of the jws.
