is it the annual meeting this weekend?
any insights on "new light" or new releases?.
Anony mous - So their excuse to build a media center by 2026 is that this is for the new world.
They say it in one breath and then they tell the JWs that all they need to do at Armageddon is to hide since the authorities/gog of magog will be seeking them out. They could hardly hide in these colossal building complexes and if they really will be sought after, these buildings would be destroyed.

Thanks Atlantis.
They kept mentioning 'food at the proper time' but most JWs have to wait until January to receive this, three months away.

The response to the concerns is no surprise, they hope that it will be used after Armageddon.
The same thing was mentioned about their Jesus video series which they are planning to do in Sydney, Australia. Work has been underway in building the set. They've been spending a lot of time trying to make it look old and making concrete look like stone but it just looks like all the fakeness that you see in places like Disneyland.
They really think that its a possibility the Jesus video series will be used in their 'new world' to teach resurrected ones about the life of Jesus on earth.
By their own teachings, even though they say that all Christians still alive after Jesus dies are in heaven, there are still thousands that could give a factual and more detail account of his life on earth from having been eyewitnesses.
I guess this 'new world' is going to continue to have movie screens. That should be enough of an excuse for JWs to go and get training in anything to do with this technology.

Here's a link to the whole of the AGM

Is this a link directly to jw.org streaming? I don't know how long this will remain available.
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.
They've recently put up a new video titled "Ramapo, make yourself ready" They say they've been in the planning stages for the last two years and are ahead. Initially they have said that construction will commence in 2022.
The video was to encourage JWs to prepare to help out with construction or to give them money. They also want parents to have their teenage children learn some skills.
I can't see how they can go full steam ahead with this project but not open up Halls, at least to some extent.
in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.
to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.
first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.
He also stated that Jehovah and Jesus expects them to donate money, even if they are poor.
It's a shocking talk, guilting the poor into donating and it is centred around donating to the organization, not specifically to their local congregation.
It's not the fault of JWs that the Watchtower decided to discontinue their main source of funds of selling publications to JWs resulting in them having to find other ways to guilt JWs into giving them money.
It's one thing for Christians being asked to donate to their local Church or Congregation but being required to fork out funds for all different sorts of activities is going beyond any biblical backing to do so. The JWs are required to donate towards disaster relief, even if the affected JW has insurance. There's also the financial support of special pioneers, even if they volunteer in their own local area. There's the future building of several media centres which include support of bethelites by covering their accommodation and board expenses. There's also the many out of court settlements which they know nothing about and the list goes on.
There's no transparency from the Watchtower HQ as to how much money goes where and virtually no option for the JWs to donate to specific causes. I don't see how God would expect worshipers to donate to a third party, the Watchtower who have distanced themselves from individual JWs.

The Governing Body is simply following the direction from WHO (a member of the United Nations) and Governments, everything else are conspiracy theories, not even worth consideration.
here is a post on reddit from mark and kimmy o’ donnell, from the crusaders documentary,.
ask us anything.. mr. o'donnell gives his assessment of why wt lawyers continue to defend the child sex abuse cases that the organization continues to fight, even though they see firsthand the deception, the lies, the withholding of facts and dirty tactics used in court.
by an organization that claims to be god's earthly representative, and the only one to hold the truth.
I guess they believe it's not due to their own failures but it's an attack from Satan. As one GB member said at their recent convention, they are at war.
