Going back to KHs

by asp59 in

do you believe org gonna go back to regular meetings in khs?

i highly doubt that.

reason is, pedophile situation.

DesirousOfChange answered the question with one line, "follow the money." That's it, they will evaluate their bottom line and decide which way is more profitable. Anyone know what their monthly $$,$$$,$$$ take is now compared to before Covid? Assemblies, conventions, renting of their assembly halls = huge monthly income. Hard to believe they can come close to that zooming .

Threating to Sue

by Ding in

what is the wt doing these days if someone das but threatens to sue if the elders make an announcement that leads to shunning?.

i know the elders are supposed to notify the legal department, but what is the legal department telling them to do?.

pontoon

I can remember 3 local judicial cases when I was an elder when the accused threatened legal action to not be DF'd. All 3 times legal told us to drop it. Accused brothers lost any priviledges including answering at wat. study and in one case we were threatened and had to call on him at study. That was as far as he went with it, didnt try to get back on the school.

The Wwatchtower turning into a real laughing Stock

by Overrated in

over the years watchtower has turned into a real joke in the world scene.

with the lawsuits, downsizing and decreasing numbers.

what they use to be is gone and they will never recover the numbers they once had.

All previous posts maybe true, also what is true is the money just keeps pouring in and cant spend it fast enough. Another multi-million dollar project in the works, a state of the art media production facility. As long as the money is pouring in watchtower is good, anything negetive is persecution which proves we are right.

Memorial Prep question

by ExCircuitOverseer in

so are individual witnesses being told to prepare bread and have wine on hand for the zoom memorial?

are they saying it’s “vital” or is it just a “suggestion?” .

pontoon

So JW's don't use idols, or you could say symbols in their worship, but go ahead down to the corner grocery/liquor store and buy symbols of Jesus body and blood.

Where do JWs stand on sex toys?

by mickbobcat in

i think we all know that if they are used alone it would be a no no, but what about in a marriage?

are there limits such as vibrators ok but torso with dildo not ok?.

pontoon

Probably about the same thing as if they knew you were on this site. Really, who cares what they think about your own private life.

When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.

i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.

i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

Memorial 2010 was my last. PIMO for a long time before that.

what do you think of him?

i know he’s a great golfer.

we know he just got into a major car accident (again).. i respect his golfing abilities but personally i’ve never cared for him and i think the press glorifies him sooo much.

pontoon

I know I would not loan him my car. He can also be about the worst sore loser you ever saw. Great at golfing a ball so the world makes him a mega millionaire. The world puts high value on skills that dont count for anything except entertainment, sports, acting.
