Remember when conventions were 5 day events that went from like 9am to 4pm. I heard they just had the circuit assembly, 1 day over Zoom, down from 2 days, basically pre-recorded speeches. No need to go to multiple conventions to hear the same points from different speakers.

Significant Changes Happening - Even Though Many May Not Realize
by JWTom ini posted this item a few weeks ago (link below) with a compilation of items that could happen as the organization unravels - even though many (including myself) may find it unlikely, improbable or simply too much of a change to believe.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5165806634663936/drastic-upcoming-changes-accelerated-pandemic.
as an active pimo though, i came up with the list in the above post simply from the standpoint that very significant changes have been occurring on an ongoing basis and sometimes i think even very active witnesses do not realize it.
a few major items that have been ongoing or were singular events listed below.

Iran is just testing how far it can push the Americans this time. Israel seems to be readying for an invasion of Gaza though, guess they have enough of supporting a ton of freeloaders.

U.S. Announcement at CLAM w/o March 3 - Donation of Trailers Needed
by JWTom inat our clam meeting this past week there was a rather lengthy announcement asking for the donation of travel trailers.
needed to be at least 22 feet long and not older than a 2005 model year.
lots of other details were in the announcement about what was desired related condition of the trailer, etc.

They've long asked for donations of cars and other vehicles. Travel trailers (which classifies as an RV) are one of those things that stood out to you, but is just part of the 'acceptable donations' in these cases (as ar motorcycles and boats, but I'm sure they don't want to send that message you should even have a boat/motorcycle). Trust me, you won't see the CO traveling in your '97 Chevy Blazer and a patched up trailer in tow (that was maybe a special pioneer in the 50s).
What they basically do with those cars, as does cars-for-kids etc is sell them to either dealerships or junkyards and collect the profit. The reason they set a limit on the age of the vehicle is because at some point it's just junk and it costs them more to pick it up and deliver to the junkyard than it would bring in profit. The junkyard isn't going to give you much for older used RV's as they are primarily plastic and not a good source of metal unlike cars. Junkyards will pay a little bit for modern ones because there is still a market for parts.
For construction sites, you have special style construction trailer which are rented by the regional building committees. The WTBTS has a deal with the rental companies so they get a small chunk of the rebates, they also don't want to deal with patching up an old trailer or the liability/insurance for that (any cost would be a sunk, unrecoverable cost after the project).

Watch this, and don’t shoot the messenger...
by DATA-DOG inhopefully i’m doing this right and it will display for you.
this is an interview with michael yeadon, former vice president and chief science officer of pfizer.
of course he has been attacked, slandered, shunned, ect, and this will never be allowed on social media, but he has taken the time to appear in an unpaid interview.

I just quoted you from the NIH, feel free to show scientific evidence that contradicts well established studies.
Even the CDC has no scientific papers to backup its guidance, instead relying on Randi Weingarten from America’s Public Teachers Union to write its guidance. And yes, that is quite literally what the Biden White House has admitted to be doing.
The teachers union in the middle of a scandal for influencing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's official school reopening guidance gave nearly $20 million to Democrats in the 2020 election cycle. https://nypost.com/2021/05/01/teachers-union-collaborated-with-cdc-on-school-reopening-emails/

I just got my 4th stimulus check, what are you talking about? Trump got us 3 rounds of stimulus (2 large checks and 1 little one) and Biden just got us 1. Between this, the Trump tax cuts and extra unemployment I gotten nearly $35k from the government in the last 18 months and I work full time (I got layed off 1 week per month last summer to take the extra unemployment) with a six figure salary.

@rocketman: you lost the argument when you decided to ignore facts and continue to parrot what the governments told you.
The facts about masks are well known. They do not help the regular population.
Here is an article from the fucking NIH which and I quote In the 1919 influenza pandemic, masks were available and were dispensed to populations, but they had no impact on the epidemic curve. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4868614/

Regards the 2 parent household, here is a well written statistical analysis: https://fordhaminstitute.org/national/commentary/power-two-parent-home-not-myth
The Democratic plantation is the expression of policies that are designed to promote poverty (such as single parent households being promoted through section 8, child support, tax breaks and other left-wing policies) in order to keep certain types of people (especially blacks) poor, uneducated and thus continue to vote for the Democrats. This is a real thing, quite explicitly in left-wing cities from the 1940s to 1970s, poor people in the “projects” would get additional benefits if they were single parent households, however, if ever a man was found in the house, they would instantly lose those benefits. That law was particularly enforced against black people, thus if you wanted the benefits, you voted Democrat, but enforcement of the law consisted of explicitly excluding black male presence in childrens’ life. Democrats had KKK senators until the 1990s, Biden famously eulogized a grand wizard and senator in the early 2000s.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood (which she called “the negro project”) explicitly founded the abortion industry to rid America of blacks; as she wrote in her autobiography she founded it for “the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization”
Those things are still being promoted to date, the BLM is explicitly calling for the removal of police from black neighborhoods, which has already increased the murder rate in some cities by over 100%, the number of unarmed black people being killed by police is in the single digits every year. The number of black people being killed by other black criminals is in the thousands every year. Hence promoting a police-less presence is promoting black murder. And as BREONNA TAYLOR’s mother said recently: BLM is profiting, taking millions of dollars on her name, they don’t even recognize her when she walks in the room, they haven’t given her or her community a dime, they are frauds. The leaders of Antifa and BLM are the ones who buy million-dollar mansions in gated communities instead of doing something to promote a better black community, promote fathers presence in children’s life, promote honest work over crime.
Wokism specifically is the left-wing religious belief system. The promotion of “systematic racism” and the cult-like following of people like Ibram X Kendi who promotes a system of black against white discrimination (or what he defines to be anti-racism) to fight what he believes to be a white supremacist system. They redefine words, such as the recent “black birthing person” instead of mothers. This redefinition of culture as they go along, is wokism. Where you can’t say he/she anymore but refer to anyone as them, where you have to put your preferred pronouns in every email or chatroom, where you push companies like Coca-Cola to put anti-white HR training.

Just because we left the JW does not mean we remain uneducated. Many of us are highly educated, I work in higher education, together with various top evolutionary neuroscientists, I even have my name on scientific papers and included with accolades on many dissertations. I am a social liberal and I do not support racism or classism, thus I cannot vote for Democrats, I vote with conservative Republicans although I do not support religion either, but at least Republicans know they cannot make a state religion, which is what Democrats are trying to do with wokism.
As said above, conservative Jews and Hindus are likewise highly educated so it’s not religion in and of itself that makes people poor or uneducated. Most highly successful people are conservative in politics as well, you have people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and most of the top 500 CEO, they may not outright be staunch Republicans but they’re libertarians, not at all in support of the socialist agenda. What makes people successful, and this is scientific research, is having 2 parents, not having a kid before you are married and not doing crime - and that is not political at all, or religious, even though the religious more often promote those ideals, but just those 3 elements is what predicts success 95% of the time, especially amongst minorities, but Democrats haven’t promoted that since at least the 1960s, because they are racists and want to keep people in the Democratic plantation.
A large portion of the masses aren’t far left or libertarians either, they’re somewhere in the middle, hence we have people voting for Trump one year and Biden the other. This is where the media comes in, they do have sufficient influence on the people in general. The average person thinks about politics on average 1 hour per week. And the rest of the time, whether Trump is getting peed on by hookers or whether Biden has dementia does not phase them one bit, they don’t care.
The thing they do care about is jobs, taxes and their kids, and on those spectrum, the left will get defeated once again in the near future. Hence why the left right now is going crazy to implement their agenda, they know it’s not palatable and they only have 2 years to do it.

Those laws are largely unconstitutional. You can’t make something a crime with reverse effects, like making a road 35 and then handing out tickets to everyone that has gone 55 through the area in the past 20 years.
in this case, what happened was illegal back then too, when these people became adults the clock started ticking. You can argue that 20 years is not enough, but even that expired. The reason limits exist is because it becomes increasingly harder to prove facts, find witnesses and even victims’ recollections get worse as time moves on, motivating victims to file their grievances early, thus the judicial system doesn’t get overloaded if suddenly something becomes well known.
As I said you can always sue someone in civil court, but you still will need some proof unless the other party outright admits what happened or settles.

The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost inso, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

Before the Romans, history wasn’t really written as a factual statement, the Greeks started with that style of history writing.
Ancient history was primarily oral and thus the underlying message was more important than the details. Hence you get epics and mythology, but most of the details are lost to history. What historians do is find the items in the stories that overlap, extract those and then compare with other records which were accurate (such as records on trades, census information etc) to get a roughly factual statement.
The problem is the Bible, until the New Testament has no archaeological evidence, the Jewish religion and Jews as an identity only proliferated about 1000 years before the Christians, so anything older is taken from prior tribes and civilizations and other religions (King David and the 12 tribes) and worked into a new jacket of a unifying monotheism. There is a line of truth in it (eg there were probably more than 12 tribes in the area and the “10 tribes” were unified from a selection of those but it is not factual history which you can take at face value, modern day you would call it alternative history or “based on a true story”.
