Just got word that most congregations in Orange County California (south of Los Angeles) area have canceled all congregation meetings (midweek & weekend) including meetings for field service until further notice. This includes all cart witnessing...everything JW related has been put on hold due to virus concerns.

They need MORE $$$$$

by TallTexan in

i haven't been to a meeting in years, but i was recently told by a friend of mine that they have really been hammering the 'use of your valuable things in support of the kingdom' in many of the talks and thursday night parts.

i know they used to mention it all the time, but he said it's gotten really bad lately.

i told him that's because the membership in the western (translate that to "richer"...lol) countries has really fallen off and even become negative in many countries and that the 3rd world countries can't contribute enough to support the great publishing empire.

I've always said that this cult has created a monster in the form of the WTBTS. Like all monsters, the WTBTS has an insatiable appetite that's difficult to satisfy. An organization the size of the WTBTS has a large overhead of costs, debt and liability that it needs to satisfy and meet on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Unless this organization has a source of revenue to cover it's never-ending demands...the only recourse in order to prolong its ultimate demise is to eat itself from the inside out...which is what we see happening today.

i was wondering how the congregations will handle the outbreak of the coronavirus in their countries.

especially, at meetings and going out in field service.. https://jwtalk.net/topic/43737-the-mysterious-coronavirus-spreading-worldwide/page/26/.

someone who lives in italy said: "i live in italy and meeting in some cities are suspended... bethel sent all the congregations in italy a letter suggesting us to avoid hugs, kisses, handshakes and other advice... ".

JW GoneBad

Ha...I should sleep a little better tonight here in the U.S....that know-it-all character with a funny bleached blonde hair cut who runs the White House today said in a news conference that the Corona-Virus is under control!🤣🤣🤣

One I thoroughly enjoy is Bridget fromaz. Her routine is calling Kingdom Halls and phone witnessing to whomever answers the phone.

King David's Three Choices

by Jehalapeno in

editor's note: found this on reddit...thought the meat of the post would be a good post for discussion here as well.. consider the three choices god forced upon david for taking a census.

these three choices were forced on king david, not for murdering people, not for raping women, not for lying, stealing, or any crime we can think of in our modern world that is repugnant, but simply for taking a census or in other words, counting people.. for counting people, jehovah forced a decision on david that involved the lives of thousands upon thousands of innocent people.. the choices all dealt with the “way” jehovah would kill thousands of unsuspecting loyal worshipers.. 1 chronicles 21.

“these are the choices the lord has given you.

Another account in the Bible that has always troubled me is in 1Samuel 22:6-23...where King Saul in a crazy & jealous rage orders one of his servants by the name of Doeg to kill high priest Ahimelek and his entire family for something very petty. Doeg doesn't stop there...he then went on and struck down an additional 85 of Ahimelek's under priests. The account at vs 18 and 19 states:

"Then the king said to Doʹeg: “You turn and assault the priests!” Immediately Doʹeg the Eʹdom·ite went and assaulted the priests himself. He killed on that day 85 men wearing the linen ephʹod. He also struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the sword; man as well as woman, child as well as infant, bull, donkey, and sheep, he put to the sword."

That was one hell of a senseless slaughter of innocent life in just one day. Why did God who these priests and their families were devoted to allow such a gruesome thing to take place?

The Witnesses

by Kathy1978 in

has anyone watched “the witnesses” documentary on oxygen (usa)?

.

JW GoneBad

Yes...I watched it with another JW friend & we pretty much both agreed...if I'm a Witness and manning a JW cart & someone approaches asking about the Oxygen showing & the problem of predator molesters in the congregations...I as the JW at the cart am going to be looking for the nearest rock to crawl under. Yah...all this well deserved bad publicity is going to put many JW publishers in a very difficult predicament!

The JW media Mecca

by lastmanstanding in

i was thinking about how the org is dying, and how the guboobs are trying to give it cpr by transitioning to tvpreach.

now they will construct a media mecca and it looks like they will go full on e digital.

so, i was trying to come up with a name for their new hollywood that would stick.

JW GoneBad

How about Jahllywood or JahllyWood (capital W)...it sort of has a good ring to it & an obvious connection!
