i've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

Absolutely true. With almost 1,000 deaths and 240,000 new cases here in the UK in the past week a stuffy KH is the last place I want to go, even with my mask on.

good news bad news pandemic and kingdom halls.. first the bad news, coming out of israel - one of the first countries to push total vaccination.
the news is the vaccine especially the pfizer one looks like it wears off and hospital rates have gone up for those that have been vaccinated.
I dread the thought of having to go out on a cold wet evening to sit in a stuffy, poorly ventilated KH for two hours. The sooner they get the "For Sale" sign out the better. Lockdown has been great, no shepherding visits to make us feel guilty at our low hours.
As for the "booster shot", I've got my sleeve rolled up ready.

HOW MANY JWS WILL FINALLY FIGURE OUT THEY WERE SCAMMED?
Very few I suspect. They will just say it's evidence that we really are near the end. We've been waiting for this for years. There's none so blind as those who don't want to see.

just an observation viewing some of their on camera appearances , and their arrogance believing they are the only one`s used by god to reach and teach the people ,despite what gj said at the arc on the subject.. no doubt the gb men wear designer tailor made suits from the best tailors in nys ?
and their wives adequately provided for in a similar way ?
nothing from kmart or target ,walmart or whatever.. shoes are probably made from form fit cobblers to fit the individual ?
Some of the suits the GB wear on the broadcasts are pretty naff to say to least. i suspect they have a wardrobe of such clothes for broadcast events so as not to "stumble" the flock!
AM III said in the video where he was caught buying his whisky (whiskey - US) that his wife likes Jamison's.
Smiddy, your opinions are as valid as anyone's and probably will not change as much as those of the GB.

congratulations to ms raducanu, from orpington, kent (my hometown).. she has just won the us open on saturday.
i don't have a tv license or a tv, but i did manage to see the final in my local pub.
and the two finalists didn't disappoint - it was a cracking match with a high level of tennis.. and raducanu triumphed 6-4, 6-3. her achievement is pretty much unprecedented.
You mean she has been to Orpington or lives there. She is hardly FROM Orpington. Born in Canada of Romanian father and Chinese mother.
I would be showing my age to mention Zola Budd.

sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.
they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.
although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..
Thank you Pete and dropoff for the clarification.
The history of the cemetery was fascinating, thank you for the link.

When Russell went to prison for a time, the headquarters were moved to New York and because of shipping costs, they began burying deceased Bethelites there.
When did Russell go to prison?

do jehovah’s witnesses take advantage of people in their low points in life?
do you know of some good examples?
.
Yes. I knew a brother who used to visit the local cemetery and would witness to people who were tending graves, putting flowers there etc. He always had "relevant" literature such resurrection, life after death etc. Just what people need at a time like that. Or not!
