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?!

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.

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!
As I recall the 3 others that were removed from the GB the announcement in the OKM was as for AMIII but it also said "and are no longer members of the Bethel family"
So maybe he is not on GB anymore but still at Warwick. Time will tell.

i remember having read somewhere, but i cannot find it anymore, that it is possible to debunk the 1914 calculus using only jw publications, like "insight on the scriptures" (chronologies) for example.. do you have any sources about that to suggest to me?.
thanks..
I think what you are referring to is a video on YouTube. There are several variations of this but they all start at 539 BCE and work backwards to Neb'r and then down to 586/7 BCE. This is probably the one you have in mind:-

have you guys noticed, this year 2023 no more public edition magazines...i wonder how they are gonna spin that fact.
Special World Wide WT campaign in September 2023. So special they cannot even publish a new magazine, they will be using the Public WT No. 2 from 2020.
I think they have long since run out of ideas.

this is a new video posted by the exjw critical thinkers jt & lady cee:.

i had a hunch that wt was going to do so, but this is happening quite soon.
At my age there is no way I am returning to meetings at the KH. I'm sure many more of a similar age to me in the congregation feel the same way. Getting there is difficult, there is little parking nearby, it's expensive and Public Transport takes an age.
ZOOM ON FOLKS!
