It helps them get their message across EXACTLY as they want it, vs allowing individual variation even by diehard JWs.

Curious? How many members of this group feel we are living in the "End Times"?
by Balaamsass2 ini like to take a peek at the kids over on reddit every week or so.. this thread caught my eye:" curious….
do any ex jw or pimo, still believe the world is ending.
i see people who have never been witnesses think that the world will end soon and they say things like “jesus is coming soon”….

I'm 77 so i am living in the time of my end. But no hurry. - Stan
Exactly my thoughts. (About my age, not yours, Stan.)
I'm quite certain I'm living in MY "End Times".
As far as anything pertaining to Biblical "prophesy" -- Sorry folks, but that's all BS.

I mean that Mr Trump himself has personally pardoned people who took part in criminal activities on Jan 6th
No disrespect, but you really haven't researched the Jan 6th fiasco sufficiently. Rather, you are relying on the "message" being given by the "left" and their media cohorts.

Blood decisions are now your problem: WT JULY 2025
by raymond frantz inthe following is from the latest study watchtower july 2025, study article 28, paragraph 17:.
each christian must make up his or her own mind about whether to accept or to reject these fractions.
we may find it a challenge to understand this matter fully, but making decisions like this is part of the load that each of us must carry.

Now they are more common, younger than us, sporting expensive duds, bling, and have nice digs. They are not waiting for heaven...they already have it.
No one partaking where we attended, but the description above sure is accurate. The old guys (my peers) were all just attendants passing the crackers & juice and the whole show was run by the younger generation (40's). And they all are looking good! Nice cars. Nice clothes. A Louis V bag caught my eye.
No one looked like they were "doing without" in order to pioneer. They are all still uttering the company line that "The End is Near" but I don't think they really are living like they believe it.

Can someone remind me the reason's you could be disfellowshipped?
by SydBarrett inthe only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.
there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.
i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.

Trump Tariffs started today, Some Countries Caved in early morning.
by liam inusa politicians in charge of the economy for the past 50 years were too stupid to understand how the economy works.
this just proves my theory, that an education on the top tier universities just sucks and means nothing in the real world, unless its in the stem education.
for 50 years usa had zero tariffs on other countries.

Memorial attendance
by Balaamsass2 incurious.
what was your local memorial attendance like tonight?
-
-
DesirousOfChange
We went to keep the JW family and friends (that don't ignore us) "happy".
Attendance seemed pathetic. These used to be standing room only events. Attendance including Zoom was just barely over 100. The seats were 25% empty. In fairness, there are two events held at this location and we went to the late (2nd) one, so likely some of the older members went to the early one. Still . . . .
. . . . it ain't like it used to be.
AND I MUST ADD -- I did not hear "this may be the last time we do this . . . ."
