  Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

  the kingdom hall is still empty.

  even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

  the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

  Why disfellowship must be eliminated for the survival of the WT itself

  by TheScientist in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this topic i digress about why the watchtower relaxing the rules of disfellowship is essential for its survival.

  many things i'm going to say are not my ideas, some are, the point is, i'm condensing everything in a logical and concise way.. the first thing we have to keep in mind is that the wt's main objective in instituting disfellowship has always been not to lose members because of the damage that a dissident could do, or to avoid gaining new members because of the bad reputation of a confessed sinner in the his/her region.

  in the end, the more active members, the more money to the coffers.. in this case of disfellowship due to apostasy, to avoid any spark, texts were sought out of context that even prohibited saying "hi".

  Who’s got the money to donate nowadays?

  Just living is expensive and add to the problem is uneducated low paid Jehovah’s Witnesses that aren’t allowed to work overtime to get ahead. There ain’t much left over at the end of the month.

  the slaves might be revolting

  by pepperheart2 in

  2. bible

  on the watchtower website it says that most of the work that will be done fishkill will be out sourced to non jws .i thought that jws always used to build everything them selves.

  this might explain what happend to ramapo they put an appeal out for free labour and people said no .

  U can join the union but can't go on strike because you’re a slave. But they can hire union labour.

  Kinda like can’t paint a church but can sell a kingdom haul to a church

  Changed behavior of the governing body on the topic of “vaccinations” in the Covid era

  by Pedro in

  i'm looking for an explanation why the gb has made a radical change on the issue of vaccinations.

  was there pressure from outside?

  were there any financial or other benefits to promoting experimental genetic therapy?.

  I was raised with the belief that taking a vaccine was sinning against Jehovah.

  Someone in my family didn’t get the memo

  Door to Door Witnessing Anxiety

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it's not only the jws who do door to door witnessing.

  the independent baptists for the most part have "soul winning", mainly door to door witnessing and leaving tracts, as a tennet of their faith.

  this discussion is interesting:.

  No one will know the difference

  or don’t bother checking the box

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  So what happens next...

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  JWs And Superstitions

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈‍⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.

  are they allowed to?

  would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.

  At the end the Beatles put backwards shit into their records on purpose for the sole reason to sell more records.

  It turns out that an abbey road lp doesn’t last very long when you run the record backwards. The conspiracy theorists would have to run out and buy a new record to ruin.

  The same as the Paul is dead theory. The Beatles knew all about it so ran with the idea to sell more records. $$$$

  Elderberry:

  I am fully aware of the lifecycle of fiat currencies and how they all ultimately fail.

  I also understand we are nearing the end of the USD being a world currency.

  What I don’t understand or admire is entitled individuals who use excuses to not pay their legitimate bills.

  The only winners in a fiat system are those that take their fiat currency and exchange it for real assets. Gold, silver, land, houses and ownership in corporations are some of those assets.

  The big winners in a fiat currency system are those that borrow fiat to purchase appreciating assets.

  Nixon taking the USA off the convertibility of dollars to gold had more to do with declining American manufacturing and them getting their asses handed to them in the Vietnam war than people that want a free ride from others.

  If you believe the world should go back to a gold standard go get some of your gold from you hiding place, sell a couple of ounces and pay your tax.
