  I think serious "witnessing" has been in a steady decline for decades. I remember the COW (Circuit Overseer's Wife) that LOVED to knock on the door of the parsonage (Preacher's Residence)! She loved to "witness" to them. She was convinced JW's were right, everyone else was wrong, and she was happy to set their asses straight! That kind or attitude is LONG GONE.

  Now, JW's skip over the preacher's house. They skip over the houses of anyone who was "argumentative" on an earlier call, ie, anyone who could legitimately question their JW doctrines. Nope. Those folks did not have the right heart attitude. No more pearls before swine. (Because the average JW could get stumbled by someone who really knows the Bible.)

  For years before COVID, it was just ride around in the car or sit in the coffee shop and count your time. Then it was stand idly by the Literature Carts and stick your tail between your legs if anyone dared challenge you with a question. Now, since COVID, it's sit at home on Zoom and chat with other old JW's across town. YAWN!

  I suspect Joe Hoover is going to have to make the "rocks cry out".

  agree with playing the "headship" card. Just say NO! No, you're not going to piss away our money on bullshit like pioneering. If you have so much time on your hands, go get a job and help save and invest for our future -- because THE END(™) is NEVER coming!

  The final part of the final part of the last day.....

  Why do they call them The Last Days(™)?

  Because they last and they last and they last and . . . . . . .

  Anyone else think Freddie sounds a lot like Ross Perot?

  Do You Think “Protestors “Should Be Able To Shut Down Bridges Highways and Hospital Emergency Areas?

  by minimus in

  some believe protesters have the “right” to block main roads, traffic and other places simply because they have a right to protest something.. in la, two deputies were ambushed and shot in the head and as the ambulance tried to take the fallen deputies to the emergency room, protesters blocked the way chanting they wished the police would die!

  .

  in nyc blm protesters blocked the george washington bridge and other major highways and streets to protest for their cause.. do you think this is acceptable?

  Really? It's just stuff and those stores have insurance.

  Really? WTF do you think pays the insurance premiums? YOU AND ME!

  That's like saying anything from the Government is FREE. NO IT ISN'T! Other people have to pay taxes so the Gov't can give free shit to others.

  Is There a Higher Conscious

  by LetTheTruthBeKnown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.

  i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.

  here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.

  Mick, I think the Dems are planning on a full turnout of "dead" voters. A real Chicago-style election.

  Conversely, I think Trump is setting the stage to contest the election. This could result in another Bush/Gore decision by the SCOTUS.

  If there is nothing conclusive, the decision could go to the US House of Representatives where EACH STATE would be allowed ONE VOTE for who is to be President. There is a majority of red states, thus a Trump win if it goes to a House vote.

  If no decision is made by Jan 20th, Nancy Pelosi would temporarily assume the Presidency. (Dog help us!)

  Trump stated what the real solution is -- he just was afraid to follow through on it.

  The silver lining is they are pushing people in droves to vote Trump.

  Now its off the rails and most of or a majority of the country does not like what its seeing. ~ Mickbobcat

  Mick, I hope you are correct.

  Sadly, the polls don't support your statement.

  So the elders gave my 19 year old daughter a shepharding call depression ensues!

  against our wishes she got baptised at 16 because she got brainwashed by her cousin.

  the last year or so she hasn't been so gung ho about the "truth".

  anyway the elders came down on her for not getting her time in the last couple months because she absolutely hates zoom letter writing.

  Perhaps you need to "sincerely" question (to her) how she is supposed to have a "five year plan" IF The End(™) is "upon us". (You know the final minutes of the last days BS). Get her to see their contradiction. Get her to reason on these things. Teach her to question everything. (WARNING: A teenager questioning anything can be a real challenge, but they'll be a wiser adult later.)

  DO NOT ATTACK the religion as that will likely cause her to want to defend it or to see you as an adversary. ASK "SINCERE" QUESTIONS and then STFU.
