Ron.W. - “…you could now have old fart brothers and sisters pulled into the back room and warned for murmuring about brothers who now have beards…”

I’d seriously pay cash money to see that.

road to nowhere - “Their news makes the main stream media look like actual unbiased reporting.”

Compared to JW-dot-org, the mainstream media IS actual unbiased reporting.

JW prepper fiction

by Teddnzo in

jw
friends

there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.

one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.

i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.

I dabbled in writing for a while…

…once even penned an outline for a seven-volume epic based on WT eschatology…

…as in, “what if it all technically came true, but turned upside-down and backwards in a way that uptight JW loyalists would absolutely hate, yet have no choice but to accept, because there was no other explanation”.

(It was a long time ago and I lost the floppy disc it was saved on 😄)

Are You Ready for the Most Important Day of the Year?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

luke 22:14 so when the hour came, he reclined at the table along with the apostles.

and he said to them: “i have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer; 16 for i tell you, i will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of god.” 17 and accepting a cup, he gave thanks and said: “take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves, 18 for i tell you, from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.”.

19 also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “this means my body, which is to be given in your behalf.

by raymond frantz in

https://youtu.be/pi7sn2rnrke?si=lnvklqct6nuayv2q.

branches of jehovah’s witnesses: 85 (= down one from 86 from the previous year and quite possibly they are referring to the hong kong bethel that closed down recently).

number of lands reporting: 239 ( =the same as 2022).

ThomasMore -“…Perhaps they are counting micro groups as congs now…”

“Please join me in asking our visiting speaker, Brother Jones, to express the love of the Smith Basement Congregation to the Jones Basement Congregation for us, as he returns home to them this afternoon.”

Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend

the kingdom hall is still empty.

even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.

the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

Ron.W. - “It always used to amaze me that they thought even long faded, totally disinterested ex jw's would somehow be gagging to attend their totally unscriptural annual memorial.”

It’s the same reason some relatives occasionally say, “you know it’s The Truth, right?”

Full-on True Believers, from the bottom to the top, really cannot grasp that the vast majority of XJWs are out, not because they’re weak, or wicked, or demonized…

…but simply because we’ve concluded that it’s not The Truth.

Jeezus, I thought being a JW growing up in the 80s was embarrassing.

Nowadays, though?
