on may 20, 2020, boris johnson's private secretary sent out an e-mail to 100 staff asking them to enjoy the sunshine in the downing street garden, adding they could bring their own bottle.. at the time the uk was under a harsh covid lockdown - people could meet up with up to six members of their own household, and only with one person from another household, socially-distanced of course.

the prime minister attended this party for 25 minutes but his excuse yesterday at pmqs was that he thought it was a work event.

as excuses go, this one is right up there with 'the dog ate my homework', lol.. boris johnson must resign - if you force harsh rules on people but break those same rules yourself, it's surely game over.. his private secretary should go, too..

This hypocrisy is similar to the watchtower’s standard operating procedure.

Most publishers are not aware that elders can get a free pass on serious sin and bypass the whole judicial committee process.

Rules for thee but not for me.

Door to door again?

by Zeds Dead in

do you think the jdubs will start up the door whacking again one day?.

there has to be many inside the org that are dreading having to do that again and as for the general public seeing this, it’s hard to imagine.

Then I can also see them handing all Bible studies over to pioneers to carry out, for clout and to ensure they get enough hours in.

They’ve been doing this for years already. I think it’s a way to keep pioneers motivated. It’s happened to Mrs Hoser. She had a study and pretty soon the elders decided to get a pioneer sister to take over. The person eventually got baptized and the pioneer sister got the assembly interview.

It is a lot better optics than a low hour publisher bring someone into the “truth”.

Don't know what will happen with the door to door preaching but I was surprised to get an invitation to a zoom meeting from an old jw friend. They sent me the link and said you can attend any congregation you want to now

Until you establish your regular attendance. Then they will social engineer the situation so that you eventually go back to the congregation you should be assigned to.

He won’t resign. He’s upper caste. They live by different rules than us peons.

The lower working class and middle class are our own worse enemies as the upper caste has us fighting among ourselves.

I think some might have issues being stuck in a car group with potential virus spreaders.

Are JW's Sins Forgiven? NO - (Says the Watchtower)

by Sea Breeze in

anyone who has been of this forum in the past few days has seen doubting thomas (an active jw) refuse over and over to provide even one scripture that can show how a jw can get their sins forgiven while outside of the new covenant as described in mt.

26: 27-28. yet, he claims to believe in the blood covering of jesus while at the same time personally rejecting the new covenant "for forgiveness of sins".

his contradictory claims are common among jw's.

What if sinning is a concept made up thousands of years ago merely to control a population so that all could benefit from some kind of social order?

What if sacrifices for atonement were just a kind of a tax, similar to china’s social credit score?

It maintains a certain level of order in a society.
