  Rumor of Religion wanting to contact Inactives

  by LongHairGal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i saw a post on reddit from somebody claiming to be an elder that the jw religion wants to contact all inactives.. some of the responses indicate that some were contacted or had close friends or relatives being asked for their contact information.

  some of these people have been out of the jw religion for many years and have moved on.

  the ones contacted said the jw informed them about cancelled meetings (as though they would care).

  LongHairGal - "The demographic of faithful elderly are passing away and these are the ones who contribute the most."

  Not that they've had much to contribute in the first place.

  can you believe this gibberish coming out of their mouths now; specifically from the clown-horse's own mouth :.

  "things unfolding around us are making clear that ...(wait for it).."we are living in the final part of the last days, undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days,shortly before the last day of the last days"!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  i wonder what next...ummmmm...final part of the final part of the final part of the finalpart...(on a recurring loop), you get the idea!.

  2020 Memorial - No Need To Actually Have The Emblems

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  over at jw talk they're saying because they're having to hold the upcoming memorial at home, they dont need to actually have the emblems.

  apparently, listening to or watching the talk is the thing that counts.. "do this in rememberence of me" apparently means watching tony morris on your phone give a talk.. this begs the question... "what's the point?

  ".

  Half banana - "...The memorial was borrowed lock, stock and barrel from pagans."

  Hell, go back far enough, and pretty much everything has "pagan" origins.

  Is the WTBTS preparing to...

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...tell the sheeple that "jehovah's earthly organization" is financially facing critical times, hard to deal with, which could threaten its survival and that it urgently requires as much money as the minions can send.. like every other business in the world, the cult needs a constant source of cash to exist.

  so with meetings, assemblies, and probably conventions being cancelled, the cash-cow is rapidly looking very precarious.. i reckon the financial brains in the wtbts will have devised a financial survival plan - based on the situation continuing/worsening.

  :) the sheep have all been fleeced - time to skin them!.

  joe134cd - "...If they have got the brains they will use Covid-19 as an excuse to cash up and go online..."

  More than a few of us have suspected that's in the cards, anyway...

  ...all this would do is speed up the process.

  Will "social distancing" help JWs wake up.

  by Tantalon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with the existing and still to come covid19 lock downs in many countries i wonder if not being obliged to attend meetings and field service will give many jws the opportunity to clear their mind a little and start to see the cracks.

  i know they will be expected to log on to their devices but with no one other than family to monitor this it could be a circuit breaker for many.

  of course the fear of end times pestilence may counter that.

  Sometimes the most staunch, zealous, and devout JWs are the ones that wake up the hardest.

  What SHOULD have woken you up ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for myself, there is an embarrassingly long list of things that really should really have woken me up, fully.

  it was a long process for me, as a mind controlled born in, things i simply did not agree with, or knew were downright wrong, that built and built, and, eventually i woke up, after 58 bloody years in !.

  but just mainly for fun, what should have woken you up ?.

  These days, I'm finding it harder and harder to not imagine the Org leadership making bigger and more "momentous" blunders...

  ...either fully convinced in the automatic rightness of their decisions, no matter what, or...

  ...just figuring that in the unlikely event that they actually (finally) fuck up too hard one too many times and land themselves in real hot water, God will simply grant them victory by miraculously snatching it out of the jaws of certain defeat.

  Seriously.

  waton - "maybe at the Wednesday session they voted to pick him to give this spiel, in case, like always, it will turn out wrong, they can blame it on the wacko performance."

  Honestly, I seriously think that on some level, they do realize just how fucking weird he looks, and put him on JWTV on purpose for that very purpose, for the same reason they keep doubling down on all the more offensive aspects of WT ideology...

  ...it can't help but further alienate the fakers, faders, and fence-sitters, essentially "encouraging" them to leave.

  Theoretically, those "troublemakers" would then no longer be an (internal) problem, the minority that stays will be that much more stringent and loyalist, and the leadership can save face by spinning it all as a fulfillment of the "love of the greater number cooling off" prophecy, thusly reinforcing said loyalists' convictions that they really are in the "Last Days of the Last Days".

  "...After careful consideration of whether it is possible or appropriate to continue with this public hearing in light of this update, the Inquiry concluded it had no alternative but to postpone in order to protect the health of everyone involved..."

  Ten bucks says the WT leadership is telling themselves that the pandemic is actually God stepping in to protect the Org from "persecution".
