I'm sure the GB will be very concerned for JW's in Ukraine as the economic and banking sanctions deepen. It may be they will have to device an alternative method for forwarding contributions to HQ!

Any in-house word on Ukrainian Witnesses form HQ?
by careful inhas anyone heard any word on active witnesses inside the ukraine and what has been happening with them the last week or so?
i checked the official org website but there was just the expected "fulfilling bible prophecy" stuff.
perhaps someone here has bethel contacts who have leaked some info on what the gb is trying to do for these victims of putin's madness?.

I remember reading about that on here some years ago. I think it all happened back in the 1980's and it was followed with a WT article explaining that the F&DS was all the anointed that were alive at that time.

As of 21 Jan 2022, 26,813 JW's had died of Covid. I can't see them rushing back to KH's any time soon.

I really didn't like Herd's comment at all. I thought it was sarcastic and patronising. You really should not speak like that to the people who are feeding, clothing and housing you in style!

Many thanks Atlantis. However, the final download there was blocked by MS Edge as being unsafe. Is there a problem with it, other than the danger of watching WT videos?

Suit, shirt and tie
by JoenB75 ini always hated suit, shirt and tie and wondered why men of all walks of life should be forced to wear these uncomfortable clothes and spend the money on them.
it should be remembered some of the worst people wear them, like creepy joe, putin, dirty corrupt frauds in business, law etc.
and of course al capone.

I spent my entire working life in a suit. Since I retired I wear jeans and casual clothes. However I know plenty of people such as my builder friend who love to get get dressed up when going out.

Snakes walked on legs till the Eden curse Watchtower belief till 1974!!
by Witness 007 inwatchtower 1964 page 352 "....before god cursed it the snake had legs that elevated it off the ground.
god transformed its body so that it ceased to have legs and could move on its belly.".

Correct usage referring to the organization?
by Vanderhoven7 inwhich sentences are technically correct.
1 the watchtower keeps changing its doctrines.. 2. the watch tower keeps changing its doctrines.. 3. the watchtower society keeps changing its doctrines.. 4. watchtower keeps changing its doctrines.. 5. watch tower keeps changing its doctrines.. 6. the society keeps changing its doctrines.. 7. the watchtower organization keeps changing its doctrines.. 8. the watch tower organization keeps changing its doctrines..

I thought Watchtower referred to the magazine of that name.
Watch Tower refers to the legal corporation as in Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society or Watch Tower Society of Britain.
So 1, 3, 4 and 7 I would say are incorrect as a magazine cannot change anything. The members of the corporation are the ones that make the changes and have them printed in the Watchtower magazine.
We used to use the term "The Society" many years ago.

That WT QFR is very interesting, I had never seen that before and assumed the idea had been dropped many years previously.
I do remember however, and in fact quoted it recently on a thread here, that the book "The truth shall make you free" carried a picture of this lizard like creature talking to Eve.
