I really do suspect that a lot of rank-and-filers are really, really, really tired of waiting, so they pounce on any little tidbit the GB gives them.

Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?
by blablabluh ini’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.
i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.
anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

DISFELLOWSHIPPING, How bad is it really?
by pistolpete ini found this experience on reddit today.
disfellowshipping never really bothered me.
i always thought it was just another way of getting rid of members that weren't welcome anymore.. but i've changed my mind.

Fadeaway - "My nephew was disfellowshiped more than 10 years ago for something he never did , the police looked into the allegation against him , their was no case against him (only found this out a few months ago)..."
SO, he was DFed for a sin that also happened to (presumably) be a crime, the matter was actually investigated by secular authorities but found untenable, yet his DFing was never reversed?
Weird.

Will You Still Wear A Mask Even If You Don’t Have To?
by minimus init seems that some people just aren’t ready to put those masks aside even if they are fully vaccinated!
some can’t help but think their brains aren’t ready for “normal”..

I actually try not to "believe" in things. Too embarrassing if it turns out to be wrong.
I prefer to stick to reason, logic, and practicality (not that I always succeed ).

Somebody should tell the Ramapo reps that the Org'll probably flip the place in a few years, just to see what they'll do.

British BLM activist has been shot in the head - media bias?
by LoveUniHateExams insadly, british blm activist sasha johnson is critically ill in hospital after being shot in the head.. first, i'd like to wish her a recovery if this is possible.. but i also think this could be a good test case of how the british media report this event.. i think it could be good to explore media bias.. so, we have the right-wing daily mail saying that, according to her friend, sasha johnson was shot in the head due to being in the cross-fire of a gang shooting, and that she wasn't the intended target, neither was she targeted because of her politics.. at the other end of the spectrum, the left-wing guardian is saying that she was shot after receiving death threats, according to her political party that she founded.. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9612115/drive-gunmen-shot-black-panther-oxford-sasha-johnson-head-fired-house-party.html.

Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?
by JWTom ini realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.
but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.
many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

@ jhine...
Being happy to go back to church proceeds from the assumption that said church is a place that makes one happy.
Does the average Kingdom Hall fit that bill?

Constantine
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inthe fact that the majority of the world jumps when you say 'god' is traced back to one guy.
constantine, this is the one man that made christianity the official religion rome thus masking the beliefs of people until the reformation a literal hell.. oh yes mohamed knew his teaching later.. when you say 'god' as if other people are supposed to be impressed you owe that to constantine.
not a mythical figure named jesus, .

My favorite Constantine moment was his nifty little conversation with Lucifer on the Flash episode of "Crisis on Infinite Earths"...
...oh, wait...
...Emperor Constantine...
...my mistake.

Disillusioned JW - "The Covid-19 vaccines do NOT alter human genes..."
That's a relief.
I was worried I'd have to replace my social media profile pic with this:
