The new definition of a generation. They are up to two full lifetimes with just a smidgen of overlap.
It's so stupid it seems to be\have an agenda that I'm not quite sure what it is.

The GREATEST—EMERGENCY RESPONDER-----JEHOVAH GOD!
by pistolpete inthis is not mine, and i check and didn't see me posting it in the past, but it’s appropriate with what covid did to the door to door preaching work.. considering we are living in the last days, and everlasting life is at stake……….
and the only means of salvation ------is the preaching work……... why would jehovah allow door to door preaching to stop for a whole year-----maybe longer?????.
all jehovah’s witnesses never noticed how dumb the door to door preaching work actually is.. jehovah is the greatest emergency responder.

Not to mention that this was pretty much the opportunity of a lifetime considering that almost everyone was at home.
I was keeping my eye out to see if any of the rocks started preaching.

"Criminal Minds" quote
by neat blue dog ini was just watching an old episode of criminal minds and there was this description of cults:.
"cults commonly have their own language.
they invent or redefine certain words only the cult members understand.

I've always said: If you have a ready reply as to why you're not in cult you're probably in a cult.

Hard to call that one a mistake. Who knows what effect being a 29 year old virgin in a world obsessed with sex has on you though.
Are we sure he was in good standing with the WT:
He went to Manchester University and he obtained a degree.

Headship and WT's Changed Understanding
by Bobcat ini don't think anyone has mentioned that the february 2021 study wt (p. 15, 16; par.
8) changed wt's long standing view on headship within the congregation.
wt used to view all baptized males as being the head of all baptized sisters.. this view led to such absurdities as a sister having to wear a head covering on a bible study because her baptized 10 year old son was sitting in on the study with her.

With all the flip flops I wonder if the WT even knows what the current beliefs are on anything. Do they have a master book with all the current beliefs?
It has always been my understanding that the elders don't speak to a wife directly but should go through the husband. Which has problems of it's own.
This whole thing is probably because they're having a hard time getting young men to reach out for "privileges".
Getting to handle the microphones isn't the thrill it once was.
On a side note those study articles have stopped even pretending they aren't spoon feeding you what they want you to believe anymore. Ask a question and provide the answer underneath. At least we used to read the paragraph before they told us what to think.

If Sister Blue-Hair catches wind of your Friday night card game and runs to the elders in a self-righteous snit, well, that's the end of that.
That's why you always invite an elder to your Friday night card game

DPA Blood ASAP
by manicmama ini am in need of the current copy of the newest dpa blood card as some of the jw's in my mothers congregation are asking about if she signed the latest copy after she passed today.
i am curious as to why they are asking about this specifically and not offering condolences on the loss of my mother.
there has been some shady interactions leading to my mother requesting me to talk to certain elders to request that certain people not interact with her further.

Do You Think White People Are Being Discriminated Against?
by minimus insome call it reverse discrimination.
whatever you want to refer to as, in your opinion, are white people being unfairly picked on?
it seems acceptable that if you are white you are viewed with disdain.

Nah. But I do think white people are expected to be more PC than other cultures.

What would happen to the Watchtower Org. if the recent UFO sightings were actually aliens ready to take over Earth
by pistolpete inthe past two weeks several ufo sightings.
navy and pentagon confirm sightings.
us military is worried because the technology being used to drive these air vehicles are showing no signs of any sort of jet fuel.

Not sure if it was official or not but I was of the understanding that the JWs don't believe in aliens because they would have already covered the question of sovereignty and gods right to rule. But if the never ending generation can't deter them I doubt a couple of aliens would change their minds. I'm sure they could spin it as the last of the last of the last of the last days.

Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)
by Slidin Fast inso, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.
this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".
well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

All they did is make more work for the JWs after the big A. Think of all the bodies of the people that didn't die of Covid that will need to be disposed of.
