  Infidelity amongst JWs

  does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

  my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

  it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

  I still say late 30’s. Kids are mostly grown up and you look at your guy/gal and wonder if the grass is greener.

  2. friends

  i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.

  i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.

  i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.

  Pissed, hammered, or toilet licking drunk? The third one about 10 years ago. When you wake up and you have no idea how you got home but you know you drove because it’s too far to walk and your car is still idling in your driveway. Scary shit.

  It seems that late 30’s and early 40’s is a popular age for jws to cheat on their spouses.

  I could relate experiences that would make a sailor blush. Neither myself or mrs hoser involved but friends of ours in the “truth”

  Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

  by jeremiah18:5-10 in

  i 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....

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  This virus kills people. I knew some who have died from it. All of them had underlying health conditions or old age against them.

  The government’s reaction to this crisis plays well into the left/green agenda.

  The leftist media has told us for the last 10 years that air travel, meat and oil are all bad and that we can/should all work from home. It looks like they were able to achieve their agenda.

  I forgot to add basic minimum income. Looks like we’re getting that as well

  ..but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one..

  .. except their guidelines! :)

  And their money!

  It kinda pisses me off the the organization teaches to live a simple life thus not contributing to taxes but when in a bind to avail ourselves of government handouts.

  Zoom zoom rules +

  by Wakanda in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. 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.

  Camera off, microphone muted here. They hint to turn it on but we don’t want prying eyes in our house.

  When they started the zoom more were muted and camera off but most of the sheeple conformed to the pressure.

  Has Anything Positive Come Out Of This Coronavirus Isolation For You?

  i 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.

  Mrs hoser and I are still working as we are both in essential services. I had to change the way my business is run to meet health board requirements but it is running smoothly now and our revenues are steady.

  I’m working on expanding the business as capital improvements are cheap and the banks are in a lending mood
