Now if you want to start a thread about proof that there's a Devil...the sheer existence of the WTBTS would be my first argument! : ) : ) : )

When did WT lose the spirit?
by Smiles inat what time would you say that the watch tower schema lost the spirit?.
like the ancient nation of israel which struggled maintaining divine blessing due to a long series of grave errors that eventually culminated in definitive loss... how and when did watch tower lose the spirit?.
can we pinpoint a time or event?.

As the old expression goes:
"When you've got it...you got it!"
Sorry, WT never had it...never will!

They Are Going To Start Clamping Down With Staying At Home - Local Needs + GB Update #4
by thedepressedsoul inmany of us have watched the gb #4 update.
most of us jumped for joy when they basically said that there will be no meeting in person for a long time to come.. one aspect we overlooked was how hard they hit home the "love of neighbor".
how this "love" is what makes a true christian and as a result our love for our neighbors will motivate us to stay at home.. well now they released a letter that is instructing all kh's to view this video during their local needs part.

Just talked to a friend from a nearby congregation to see how her zoom meetings are doing. Just as I expected...she related that often she sees 40% to 50% of those in zoom attendance have their video/camera turned off.
I suspect that 'Mother' is going to be addressing this problem of all these camera-shy JW delinquents sooner rather than later. Will it be a local needs part...or will it be covered in a broadcast video? Considering that WT's stay at home order will likely remain in place for many months to come...this trend of the rank & file keeping their cameras turned-off will only worsen. So this cult has to attempt something to keep camera-bashful Jdubbs tuned-in.

sir82: In our congregation fully half the attendees shut down the video for the whole meeting. I strongly suspect there are adult beverages and other "stuff" going on.
I experienced almost the same thing...I was on a JW gawd awfully boring zoom meeting recently. I listened in on both midweek and Sunday meetings...on both days there were about 85 different devices zoomed-in. The hilarious thing about it was that about a third (between 25 to 30) individual devices had their camera/video turned off. That is a rather large amount of attendees who opted out of wanting to be seen on camera. The elders can't be too happy about that!🤣🤣🤣
The equivalent to that is if at an actual Kingdom Hall meeting 30% to 50% of those in attendance were to gather in the lobby to chit chat while the meeting is going on.

CO'S "encouraging" letter to circuit
by nowwhat? inthe point of the letter was how many are feeling disappointed these days.. no circuit assembly, convention, how we can't fellowship at the k.h.
disappointed we might have had a love one die, etc etc.
he then goes on to write about how disappointed jehovah must have felt when his first human creation rebelled.

The local congregations are having the visit of the CO via zoom during this pandemic around this area. I attended one last week...It was gawd awfully boring. I listened in on both midweek and Sunday meetings...on both days there were about 85 different devices zoomed-in.

Rolf Furuli New Book
by dozy infor those who haven't come across furuli before , he is a 77 year old norwegian professor and is ( or was ) one of the few "scholarly" jws used by the society and used as a source on various matters ( especially 607 bce ).. however recently he has fallen out with the gb and has published an interesting book - like many recent scholarly apologists , he seems to be going down the road of disagreeing with the authority of the gb but still holding that the jws is the one true religion.
kind of "lions led by donkeys".
whether this view will continue is anyones guess.

I have invested my whole soul in this religion for 59 years."
What Furuli states above reminds me of the expression: "You can take the man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the man"!
This guy didn't just casually spend nearly 6 decades in this cult...he invested his whole soul into it. You can't help but feel sorry for this chap!

smiddy3: How can one look at the GB as misleading the flock on so many important issues and still believe they are the "true" religion?
You'll find the answer in Furuli's opening words in the Introduction where he states:
"This book is not an attack on Jehovah’s Witnesses. On the contrary! My beloved religion is the religion of Jehovah’s Witnesses. And I have invested my whole soul in this religion for 59 years."
It's obvious that this man is in a love-hate relationship with his 'beloved religion'! This cult started 'screwing' with his mind when he was a virgin teenager. This religion is all he's ever known! Furuli's relationship with this cult reminds me of 'battered women syndrome'. The question is often asked...'Why don't they just leave'? The reasons why individuals stay in abusive relationships are many. I'll bet my bottom dollar that when you find out the answers as to why people stay in abusive relationships you'll have your answer to Furuli's messed-up thinking about this cult.
