There was a special forces armed unit or whatever very close to the KH at the time of the shooting and their very prompt arrival undoubtedly saved many lives. A sister in our congregation said this was clearly Jehovah's direction to save so many. I despair.

i overheard my wife listening to '2023 governing body update #2, presented by kenneth cook jnr.
a few points i got from it.. new hour requirements.
quote "with the new hour requirements for pioneers, many us us can share in the pioneer work.
Neither have any experience in life. They have never had a full time job, family, mortgage, utility bills and generally making ends meet. When did they last rush in from work, grab a bite, a shower and off to the meeting with the wife and kids?

the org is always so late.
i remember the last in person meetings before went to zoom, none of us were wearing facemasks and i thought why is the org so late with this.
they just announced older ones shouldn’t come but most large organisations had already stopped in person.
they are always so late with everything ⏰
Including Armageddon.

hi everyone i’m not pimi or pimo i’m pima.. i don’t think the gb have everything right but i’m sitting on the fence that maybe they do some things.. if the great trib starts i will jump that side of the fence.. this is a definite little sneaky advantage dodging but even by their own doctrine last min some could come in.. i suspect many are like me.. i spent years in bethel and am very disappointed and disillusioned by it all.. but at the end of the day i love the bible and think it is the word of god and i don’t see any other religion that comes as close to what jesus describes his true followers or who are fulfilling mat 24:14..
I'm just sittin' on a fence
You can say I got no sense
Trying to make up my mind
Really is too hard I find
So I'm sittin on a fence
Reminded me of the old Stones song but you will need to be of a certain age to remember that one.

hey.
does anyone else dread attending (in person or on zoom) the memorial months in advance?.
literally as soon as new year hits, i feel sick and super anxious, and i've realised it's because of the memorial, which i only attend because of family, who kinda tell me the reason they have bad health is cuz i left the jw sevel years ago..
Find a gullible looking elder and ask him to explain why the Passover is not even given a mention at the Memorial anymore.
You could even sing him a little reminder song... 'twas Nisan 14 when your glory was seen... The Passover lamb was then eaten, and Israel 12 tribes went forth free....

i have been out for a long time now and have kept busy.
but tonight my jw mom asked me what is happening in norway.
so i researched and wow!
Don't forget to tell your Mom that ToMo3 is "no more".

the jws i know (which admittedly are more liberal than most) are suddenly into prepping to one degree or another.
some have simply assembled "go bags" with basic common sense supplies in case they need to bug out in the event of a natural disaster and others seem to be seriously into it, almost to the degree to which mormons are.
backup generators and a year's supply of food and water).
...and where are they going to flee to?
A sister in the congregation told me that we will all be going to Chelmsford. Bus loads from all over the country, it will be wonderful she thought.
I asked if there was space for about 140,00 extras there, four times the current population of the entire town. I was assured Jehovah knows what he is doing.
As regards hoarding, or prepping, we have done that all our life as did our parents. Not for some great calamity but to have plenty in store in case of illness or bad weather and you cannot get out for a few weeks. Just common sense really

ernesto elliott is a jamaican criminal who managed to dodge a deportation order back in december 2020.. at the time, there were several people among the great and the good who loudly supported his legal challenges.. however, in june 2021, elliott went on to kill a man in the street with a machete.. what the fuck is wrong with my country?!

jesus titty-fucking christ .... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11795977/chilling-video-captures-moments-criminal-sent-jamaica-kills-man-horrific-knife-fight.html.
One of those was David Olusoga who objected to these 20 odd criminals being deported as it would deprive them of their human rights. Maybe he and the other objectors should have to pay for Elliott and his son's keep in prison for the next 20+ years. I suppose we will be keeping his wife and family as well, unless they are all working as doctors and architects......

have the rank and file been told not to "gossip", or "question" about mr morris yet?
i am mindful of how questioning decisions was discouraged and being told to keep things confidential.
( maybe too soon, but do share if a special needs part comes up) you would think that common sense would tell them they cause the questions when they don't share reasons.
I wonder how many of the R&F even know about this. Nobody has mentioned it to me in conversation or on ZOOM meeting.
