  Steve Lett doesn’t look well

  by Teddnzo in

  as soon as you see steve letts talk at the agm you think to yourself “oh my, what’s happened to him?.

  his hand has plasters and his skin doesn’t look healthy, like he has inflammation or something serious going on.. he had put on weight and is all bloated and puffy .

  his skin really doesn’t look good, the kind of inflammation many people notice after the experimental covid vaccines.. there have been very high numbers of people reported inflammation after the experimental covid vaccines.

  mutant toothed chickens

  by peacefulpete in

  perhaps you say the story buried deep in todays paper describing the observed mandibular tooth growth in a strain of mutant chickens.

  for decades scientists have been able to coax chicken embryos into forming teeth by overlaying epidemal tissue from repiltes or mice onto the forming jaws of a chicken embryo.

  the grafted tissue was not the source of the teeth but was by some unknown mechanism triggering the chickens dormant recessive tooth genes to awake.

  Last minute repentance

  by inbetween in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  while most talk about the end of reporting for publishers, i think the doctrinal change is even bigger.. repentance after start of gt still possible?

  what does that mean for the judgement message, they pushed a bit lately?.

  will that be really just before armageddon?

  Maybe the WT leadership is worried that at the rate they’re losing members, they won’t have enough people left to properly start over after the Apocalypse.

  If you feel conflicted watching Breaking Amish…

  …you might be a JW.

  If you can’t remember what day of the week it is without some kind of benchmark…

  …you might be a JW.

  If little blue garden gnomes make you nervous…

  …you might be a JW.

  No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  NotFormer - “It would probably be better for all parties if they did. The mental gymnastics of faking, fading and fence-sitting can't be good for mental health.”

  Oh, for sure.

  (not that the WT leadership gives a shit about the mental health of faders, fakers, and fence-sitters)

  I imagine it’s somewhat like the Dursleys and Harry Potter.

  They wanted him gone ‘cause they hated him, but at the same time, they wanted to keep him around so they could make his life miserable.

  Thought on “0 hours” reporting

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.

  beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.

  the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?

  There’s another possibility that could’ve factored into this decision…

  …more and more average JWs working door-to-door, trolleys, and park tables encounter “apostates” who they can’t defend their faith from (without lying), and/or regular householders who know too much about the Org’s pedo problems, and aren’t shy about it (like back in the day when they were accused of being “false prophets”, only way, way worse 😏).

  I think it’s entirely possible that we’ve reached a critical mass of nonmembers who know too many uncomfortable facts and truths, and it’s actually started to have a negative impact on the witnessing work.

  Changing up the ministry could be an attempt to insulate the rank-and-file from that.

  Real reasons behind this change?

  by Gorb in

  just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.

  a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?

  maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

  I totally get why some folks were hoping for the End in ‘75…

  …disco, bell-bottoms, and leasure suits?

  Jeezus, I’d want to burn it all down, too.

  Two biggest issues for Watchtower right now

  selena accused tony morris of being involved in child abuse and the pimo bethelite who just got kicked out.

  let’s see how this rolls out.

  They supposedly brought in legal and financial advisors a little while back, who suggested a number of things the Old Guard didn’t like hearing, regardless of whether or not they were things that the Org needed to do to stay solvent.

  Ten bucks says a lot of the things they were advised to do involved - for all intents and purposes - mainstream reform.

  If they need a supermajority vote to change something significant, and one or two of the Old Guard “nay”, putting one out to pasture before attempting said reforms would have definitely been on the table…

  …and I’m not a big believer in coincidence.

  So many folks feel so alienated and disenfranchised by a rapidly changing (by their reckoning) modern world…

  …it’s no wonder that the deeply religious amongst them latch onto what they see as the only way through the chaos.
