Depends upon your view of the so called 'science'....which in itself depends on what narrative our dim witted, out of touch but rich politicians are promoting. None of it seems to be 'science' at all. Semantic games, more like.

Shaking hundreds of hands every week: are JWs the only ones?
by psyco inwe know that with our hands we touch what everybody else does: money, handles, buttons, etc.. we also know for sure, since the xix century, that our hands carry bacteria and germs causing serious illnesses because of that.. despite more than 25,000 jws dying because of the covid, showing they are not immune, they were proudly declaring how good they were in handling this pandemic.. now, jws have started to shake hundreds of hands per week at their meetings, like before, even if covid is not over yet demonstrating hygiene knowledge back to medieval times.. i am wondering: are they the only religion/community/group still doing this or others are doing the same?.

Fuzzy - The R&F do not know about this, as earlier Posts in this Thread have shown.
They will be blissfully unaware of what's really going on as the JW TV personalities spew out the usual 'give us more money so you can live in paradise(tm)' propaganda.
There is a big disconnect between how we see the fake region and how the Jobots see it.
A lot of Jobots really are not interested in who is pulling their strings.
Ignorance is bliss. They can't see that they're in a cult.........which is very cultish.

I smell a dirty great rat with this Ukraine stuff. I don't mean soccer either, because I don't follow any sport.
Those in power want us to comply and cheer on the side that they designate for us. Whether we agree or not. Sadly, the majority of sheeple will take sides with whomsoever. Of course the dimwits comply and hound those that are not in 'the crowd'.
I think we're being played for mugs.

What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?
by Sea Breeze inwe all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.
my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.
-

The question pre-supposes people are conscious after death.
Supposing they aren't. Supposing there is nothing after you die?
I have yet to meet someone that did live on either as a spirit or in any form.
What an amusing thought, though.

Wise counsel for JW's in latest WT
by BoogerMan injune 2023 study watchtower p. 13, par 15 - “we will not be fooled if we “make sure of or, “test” all things.”...we need to test what we hear or what we read to determine whether it is genuine.....instead of naively accepting what others the org say, we use our thinking ability to compare what we read or what we hear with what the bible and jehovah’s organization say.”.

By 'test', they mean to only read JW publications(tm).
It's all so hollow.
If they actually did 'test', there wouldn't be any Jobots left. they'd all become 'mentally diseased apostates(tm)'.

Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother
by RULES & REGULATIONS infourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.
my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.
the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.

The elder doesn't care, nor offers an apology for his behavior.
...and that says it all.
It sums up how the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), have had their abusive attitude trickle down to the congregations(tm).
I wonder how he'd feel if/when he finds out the Organisation(tm) is just a cash cow for the CEOs and only a big business pretending to be a religion?
Disgusting behaviour by a dim-witted pawn of the big business.

Metamorphosis - Kafka
Uncertain Midnight - Edmund Cooper
Colditz - PR Reid
I'm a bit bored with novels because they all seem a formulaic. IE. Character has a problem. Problem getting solved. Then it all goes wrong. Finally the character triumphs.....or in the case of horror stories, everyone dies at the end. So tedious.

What Would Grandfather Say Now?
by LostintheFog1999 inmy late grandfather believed he was one of the anointed.
that aside when asked about whether the jw organisation would last, he would pull out the attached wt magazine (the second edition) and say "if the day ever comes when the organisation asks for money outright, it will be proof that jehovah is not it's backer.
" that's how convinced he was that such a thing would never happen.. i often wonder what my grandfather would make of the modern organisation today..

I wonder if he'd notice that the Governing Body(tm)(pee be upon them), of a Corporation now solely owned that title excluding all others by calling them irrelevant and/or bonkers.

Some miserable bald 'prophet' that got bears to brutally murder children because he had hurty feelings.
