10 million bible studies and 200 000 baptisms. How many of these would be jw kids with no choice? Over my whole life as a born in, I cant remember many people that became jw's cold from the territory. I could probably count them on 2 hands but I would really have to think about it.

What are the Society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.

are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.

i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.

At a funeral for a worldly man, whose son was a jw, a disfellowshipped man I know was told he wasn't welcome because he was making other JW's in attendance feel uncomfortable.

The stupidity and arrogance of this is infuriating. For starters, the funeral was at a funeral house, not the kh. The disfellowshipped man was a personal friend of the deceased and the JW's that were there barely knew the deceased and were mostly there only for support of his jw son.

Disgraceful, unchristian behaviour.

Covid lung damage worse than from heavy smoking

by FatFreek 2005 in

we've probably all heard it, "i wish i could get the covid and that way it would be behind me", as if it were some annoying rite of passage.

"sure, i'll lose my senses of smell and taste for awhile, i'll lose my strength for awhile", etc.. what else could be the reasoning for ignoring the social distancing to attend maskless parties and similar large group gatherings?.

however, looking at the following xray images of certain lungs may help impress some folks into thinking that there are more serious happenings in the attack progression of this virus.

Anony Mous:

"This last notion is important to understand if you don't live in the US. ONLY the vaccines created by the Trump admin have thus far worked. "

Maybe I've been asleep for the last 6 months, but can you please tell me which vaccines the Trump administration have 'created'?

According to the CDC only 2 vaccines are approved and authorised for use in the U.S., Moderna (U.K.) and Pfizer(German).

Have I missed something?

The governing body KNEW

by FedUpJW in

so i received an email from one of the used-to-be jw friends that now pretty much ignore me.

it was haranguing me about "getting right with gee-ho'-vuh", and how imperative it was to "return to the organization".

it continued on with the worn out argument that "the faithful and discreet slave know what we must do in order to be safe and to live, as gee-ho'-vuh brightens the light to them.

Yes mynameislame, that would have been the clincher. 😄

Remind your friend that the T.V show, The Simpsons, predicted Trumps presidency- among other things.

Omg! The latest Caleb and Sophie video!

by nowwhat? in

for those who think the organization is going more mainstream think again.

so eating a leftover birthday cupcake is as bad a sin as peter betraying jesus!

(see lloyd evans video) .

This has probably been mentioned by someone already.

Ive never thought about it before, but here is a semi-interesting factoid. The names Caleb and Sophia mean faithful and wise, just like the gb. 🙄

Also, when Caleb gets older and does some web searches, he might find some interesting reading concerning slavery and the ancient Jews. The capture of slaves, or owning them was basically glorified and was a status symbol. Defeating your enemies, killing almost everyone except virgins and taking them as wives amounted to genocidal rape- but eating a piece of birthday cake is like disowning Jesus?

Hopefully, this will give him some comfort about eating a leftover piece of cake.

Blues brother, I am only speculating but because it was a royal commission, the governor general, as the Queens representative is automatically involved, even if its merely to rubber stamp the findings.

Aer you food prepping since covid?

by mickbobcat in

for several years i have been vacuum sealing and then mylar with oxy absorber's storing rice,beans, tea, things that have a 50 year shelf life if kept dry.

i have also been putting back a few guns and ammo in case of a mostly peaceful riot from the left.

i also buy mountain house food bags that have a 25 year shelf life.

joey jojo

Just relax, no need to prep.

If the US goes to pot, china will invade and they will have all the critical infrastructure back up and running in no time.
