is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?

I think they are having high-level meetings analyzing the situation and trying to decide what to do - not because they care about the welfare of JWs, but because they care about what's best for the org. ~ Magnum

I agree with that thought. Wednesday GB meetings must have some hot and heavy discussions about reopening the doors. But I also think these old delusional men really believe THE END is imminent. In fact, they are praying like never before that that is the case. Only THE END will bail them out of all the problems they are faced with currently. Lawsuit$ and $ettlement$. Doctrinal changes that must be made (because the timeline ran out on the old shit). The exodus of the "best and brightest" (brain drain). And, the damage resulting from the internet.

Yes, Dear Brothers, THE END is near!

Donating blood a disfellowshipping offence?? What if an Elder needs my blood fractions?

by Witness 007 in

red cross is desperate for blood at work.

i considered doing it.

is this a disfellowshipping sin?

The bOrg wants your blood, sweat, and tears -- every last drop. (Your money too!)

You CANNOT donate it to another organization.

Most doubts aren't created by apostates. They are created in a Kingdom Hall.

i found this interesting perspective on reddit.. post;.

i remember the moment the first real crack in my faith happened as a jehovah's witness.

i was sitting in the kingdom hall during the watchtower study where, as is common, the article was talking about how the israelites as a nation abandoned jehovah.. "but wait," i thought, "having a nation represent him here on earth was part of his plan.

I think that statement is very true!

I think most doubts are created by something said or something that happens within the Borginization. A person "ignores" all the little things until there is that one proverbial straw that brings everything to a grinding halt. Once a person opens the Pandora's Box to examine the religion, it's all over and can never be shut again.

I have not seen flipper on here for sometime now. In California which is probably still under strict Covid mask and distancing and limiting crowd regulations so doubtful any meetup there this year.

Maybe someone will organize something in Texas or Florida.

I Don't think the jw kids today are afraid of the Elders or the Governing Body, like the jw kids of pre-internet era.

by pistolpete in

something i've notice with born in jw kids posting on reddit, is that they have no problem telling off the elders.

this generation of born in jw kids just have no fear of who the elders represent because they know from researching on the internet, that jehovah is a created character by ancient people, and no different or real, than thanos.. these kids know exactly what's going on with the child sexual abuse in the organization.

they also have read and memorized the elder's book online.

Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?

looting is happening everywhere like never before.

brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.

popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

Why were guns mentioned (when not in the OP)?

Maybe because a few people with guns could discourage the looting?

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Police believe two customers shot an armed robber at a GetGo on the northeast side of town this evening.

Police received a call around 6:30 p.m. about an armed man attempting to rob the convenience store, located near the intersection of Pendleton Pike and Shadeland Ave. Police say the man arrived at the GetGo in a stolen vehicle. When the man pulled out a gun, police believe two armed customers fired multiple shots at the suspect.

IMPD found the suspect in critical condition from a gunshot wound. EMS transported him, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.

MOVE IF YOU LIVE IN A DEMOCRATIC RUN CITY.

And if you already have the pleasure of living in a city/county/area that is not yet taken over by these libtards, then you can still opt to boycott the Democrat City nearby.

I used to work much nearer to the City in our Metro area and thus it was convenient to go to the City for doctors or even shopping, etc. NO MORE! I boycott the City and stay in the "red" suburbs and spend my cash there. Let the damn City crash and burn and let the residents there kill one another.
