I always thought some of us would be driving around looking for bodies. When we found one we put a stick in next to it and the burial guys would come along and do the digging. Has something changed?

jehovah has to kill 9 billion humans in the big a. does anyone remember any talks on the actual logistics of "day 2"?
with no infrastructure it sounds like gb style madmax..

is this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.
which he said would never occur again?
(matthew 24:21).
I wish I had a pound for every time they have used the word "soon".

PS Happy St George's Day or what's left of it.
for newbies, who was carl olof jonsson?
he was a jw in sweden who was challenged by a householder in the 1960s, who pointed out to him that secular history books don’t agree with watchtower that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, but instead place the event 20 years later.
the reason the date is important is because it is the starting date for jw chronology which leads to 1914 as the end of the gentile times, and the beginning of the last days, as jws understand it.
Very sad but it all depends on the quality of life, 85 is not too bad.
I think the time for the WT society to change their stance on 607/1914 has long passed. After all these years they could never face their members if they made such a doctrinal change. Their last opportunity was the Oct/Nov 2011 with the two part article "When was Jerusalem destroyed?"
The same is true of evolution. They are still telling their school children to challenge their teachers and it all started 6,000 years ago with Adam & Eve. Despite it being a lost argument they will still hang on, unable to admit they were wrong all these years and that evolution is fact.

i can't remember if i've told this story before .... but back in the day, in irlam congregation (northwest england, uk, cheshire #1 circuit i think) we used to rent a kingdom hall for many years before we eventually built our own.. preston hall.
ah, the memories .... it was primarily used as a community hall for old folks, but we had it friday night and sunday morning.. there was a loft and fold-out ladder and we used to store the chairs up their.
every meeting, there would be an assembly line of all the "lads" to pass the chairs down and set them up, then collect them up and pass them back up at the end of the meeting.
Back in the 1950's we met in a room attached to the local Public Library. This was similarly rented out to various other groups and clubs who put up Christmas decorations every year. It was in the days when the "Chart" was hung in KH's and it was so funny to see this surrounded by all the Christmas glitter.

i saw this post on ex-jw reddit so i thought i'd bring here.
zoom service, what are your observations/opinions of it?.
The letters that JW's write have to be hand written, this means that it takes about an hour to write four letters compared with dozens or even hundreds per hour with a word processor. It doesn't do any good whatever, it just keeps the R&F busy and able to count time in the process.

Without dark Satanic factories churning out razors by the million every day I suspect there will be a lot of beards. And don't even mention hairy armpits!

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
I am not sure they they would need to remove any of AM3's videos
Meanwhile.....
I have just put "Anthony Morris" in the search in jw org and all manner of videos of and about him are displayed. He has of course been deleted from the list of GB members.
George
probably but they’ve sent him back pretty darn quick!
i have from a very reliable source that he attends one of the poughkeepsie ny congregations.
i think there are 5 congregations there might be worth paying a visit if anyone lives near there..
I thought he was at the same congregation as one of his sons in South Carolina.
