when you look into all the publications and predictions about the last days, the jws are always represented in groups in someone's house.
this isn't happening right now.
they are all told to stay in their individual homes and watch jwsteaming!.

Maybe the GB is priming the rank-and-file for loss of tax-exemption, asset liquidation, and "loving instructions to go 'underground' to avoid persecution" (how exciting), while they rapture bugger off to the Cayman Islands or something.

Smiles - "How do some JWs think they will finally be free of Watch Tower after the End?"
I dunno, maybe it was just me.
That being said, I'm certain may still-ins are aware - on some level - of just how unhappy their lives actually are...
...but haven't fully realized that the source of said unhappiness is less a result of "Satan's World", and more a result of the JW ideology and worldview.
Not to mention that very few truly realize just how dystopian a Watchtower-run planet would actually be (which was a big part of my WTexit).
former united kingdom prime minister gordon brown calls for "creating a form of global government....to tackle the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus".. isn't that crazy?
that's a dangerous idea.
what do you guys think?.
a watcher - "A global government is coming eventually. It's the 'eighth king' in Revelation."
And predicted on "Star Trek", so I know it's true.
All hail the Newworldordereptillianuminati!!!
"we must obey god rather than men" act.5:29 has sure been discarded now and the gb are obeying the united nations world health organization and shutting down all of their "witnessing" operations ,very effectively i might add.. instead of boldly proclaiming the kingdom message as they used to blow there own trumpet about obeying god rather than men they are now more in fear of what the superior authorities will do to them if they don`t obey them.. this is something nobody banked on ever happening least of all the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses that the preaching work would come to a standstill .. of course they will put a spin on it ,that there protecting the health and well being of their members and the public.. but the fact remains they are not trusting in jehovah to protect their members nor are they trusting in jehovah to keep the "worldwide preaching work" going.. what do you think ?.
"...ten bucks says their lawyers have advised them that due to all the pedo-related shit going on, their tax-exemption is in too precarious a state for them to risk defiance on this front."
Which, of course, begs the real question...
...just how dependent on its tax-exemption is the WTS?

@ Half banana...
Every so often, a particular legal or governmental system feels compelled to "make an example" of someone.
Sometimes it's even legitimate and justified.
do you guys think during this corona virus lockdown, the gb will be “raptured to heaven”, thereby escaping any lawsuit from irwin zalkin?
if so, how would they explain that the 20,000 or so other ‘anointed’ are still here?
brazil?
Part of me thinks, yeah, they'd fuck off to Switzerland or somewhere if it really came down to it...
...but another part of me thinks, nah, they're too proud and self-deluded, and they'd stay right up until the whole shitshow crumbled down around their ears.
please share any other yes/no questions that might fit with the following 10. also feel free to critique the 10 listed.. testing for transparency.
there are some facts that jehovah's witnesses are reticent to divulge to new prospects.
you may want to find out very early in your discussions if the witnesses you are studying with are open and truthful about their organization's doctrine and practices by asking them a series of sensitive (potentially embarrassing) questions about their personal beliefs.
wallsofjericho - "Is the governing body ever 'wrong'?"
And if so, are you allowed to say so?

This wouldn't be the first time the Org has budged when "Satan's World" has given a push...
...ten bucks says their lawyers have advised them that due to all the pedo-related shit going on, their tax-exemption is in too precarious a state for them to risk defiance on this front.
besides the media center they are going to build in n.y. it's been noted they are also building one and a studio in australia.
there is no way donations can cover these massive projects.
so the money will have to come from the sale of the remaining halls.
Problem with selling off all the KHs and going solely online is that it makes it way easier for faders, fakers, and fence-sitters to GTFO...
...but since (I suspect) that, deep down, the Org wants that...
what will happen after the covid-19 crisis?.
- economy with all the stand still corporations, people without work and mass injections of support money?.
- politics with the end of globalisation, closed borders and new geopolitic friends (italy / china russia), lack of support and working together in eu and local politics, did the current politician the right thing?.
