by BoogerMan inis this the "great tribulation" which jesus warned he would bring upon the corrupt christian congregations worldwide, (revelation 2:22; 7:14) or is it the same 1st century g.t.

Joined an online meeting incognito
by joey jojo ingot a link for a zoom meeting and thought id share my experience about the mid-week meeting.. guessing about 100 - 120 in cong.. 50 on zoom, only 8 with cameras on - all elderly.
watching from a detached point of view it's so obvious at how it is nothing but a glorified sales meeting, all designed to promote the org.
inspirational videos about how everyone can/ should do more to help with projects, in particular how to look after the kingdom hall, complete with bar charts showing levels of achievement to aspire to.. interestingly, tonights book study is about alcohol..

About 50% of the congs I know of are still not coming to meetings in person, and that's definitely more than the number who are genuinely housebound or who have debilitating conditions that prevent them from attending regularly (usually no more than 10-15 people in any congregation). Of those who do attend on Zoom, hardly any turn their cameras on now.The people that dont turn on their cameras are the same ones that trash talk and shun ex-jw's that dont buy into it anymore, yet they cant even turn on their cameras to encourage others?
For a comparison, during the pandemic, gym members logged into zoom classes, with their cameras on. All of these people couldnt wait to get back to real life classes. Now, gyms are full again, unlike kingdom halls.

How could you tell how many people were in the Kingdom Hall. Do they give you a view of the whole hall on the Zoom video?No - Its just that I still know people that attend that cong so I have an idea of the usual attendance.

Mark if the beast coin
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inrev, 13:17and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
here is wisdom.
let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 666.".

You can google vaccines and ditgital id and article will come up about it. It would appear from videos I have watched, that those who took the jabs can be tracked and monitored.
Heres an article I googled but it doesnt agree with you, does that still count?:
If you own a mobile phone, or use the internet you have been 'tracked and monitored' for years.

Looking back, these sorts of projects are what keeps a lot of JW's thinking they are part of something big and important.
They promote the idea of unpaid, volunteer work as a goal equivalent to working alongside God himself. For all the rest that cant volunteer, they will post regular updates so that everyone feels included.
When its done, they want all the JW's to make a pilgrimage and donate.

The whole project seems in such bad taste.
A lot of bro's are now travelling extra miles to attend meetings because somone decided that the $$$ from their fully paid off halls would be better spent on other 'kingdom interests'.

Best of Topics
by Simon insome people had a penchant for posting their topics directly into the "best of topics" area.
it seemed more than a little arrogant to me that some imagined their every utterance was immediately a greatest hit but maybe people weren't clear on what that area was intended for .... from now on you won't be able to start new topics there.
if anyone wants to submit a topic to be added there (perhaps an index to a curated list of other topics by a user or on a certain subject / theme) then just start one in "suggestions" and pm me and, if it is suitable, then i'll move it into there.. existing topics posted there recently have been moved to more appropriate areas..

Im going to put up my hand because I think I was guilty of this.
For my first post I was so nervous for even being on this site and I couldnt find a topic that I thought fitted with my post so I picked a topic I thought was generic. I figured a moderator would sort it out and put it in the right place.

Organization is God
by Longlivetherenegades inthe belief was jehovah/god is not the organisation when you are a member of the organisation .
when you disassociate or leave the organisation, the belief becomes jehovah/god is the organisation.
someone somewhere will tell you return to jehovah or hand you a publication that has the title return to jehovah.. .

As an elder once told me, 'to criticise the organisation is to criticise Jehovah'.
