  good luck finding a JW in Muslim countries

  Ditto. JWs are under severe restrictions, even if not exactly under ban, in Muslim countries. There is likely not an open meeting to attend. In particular JWs, (I believe this applies to all non-Muslim religions) are not allowed to proselytize, only preach to other non-Muslims with the intent to convert.

  A few years ago I was shocked to learn that JW need-greaters were going into Morocco under assumed names, with no support from any JW branch. They were out there totally on their own, taking such risk. Really a bad idea.

  The wife just sang along on zoom with the new Christmas song at the end of the midweek meeting. OMG, wow. A complete 180.

  To top it all off, in Catholicism the month of May is The month of Mary, today is May first. Just wow

  one of the most quoted and loved passages of the bible has an unexpected textual history.

  at matt 21:16 jesus is made to say:.

  have you never read, ‘from the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise for yourself’?”.

  of the 213 moons in our solar system, only ours provides a total solar eclipse.. coincidence?.

  Our moon is much larger in terms of moon mass/earth mass, than in the vast majority of planets with moons. This allows a total eclipse, unlike other planets with moons.

  The theory is that the earth was struck by a large comet or asteroid which spun off the moon’s material. This formation of a moon is rare.

  But I've never gotten why say circuits can't have their own choirs (and orchestra's) - especially for conventions and weddings etc

  I remember the time when they did exactly that. There was an orchestra who played for all the songs to be sung at the convention. Probably in the '70s. The question is why they did away with it.

  It does sound to me more like they are preparing the Brotherhood for some more "new light".

  It's about time they lighten up on JWs attending family events at holiday time, as well as allowing kids to participate in Christmas/holiday events at school.

  Do JWs Really Say This?

  by NotFormer in

  2. beliefs

  i stumbled, via a google search, upon a part of jw space that is usually heavily defended against outsiders like my good self.

  in a discussion, someone started their post with "i (started doing x)... when the slave began to suggest doing so"*.

  do pimis really talk that way?

  Around these parts they often say 'the Branch', meaning direction from the WT/Society/CO/whatever

  Disaster preparedness

  by ElderBerry in

  2. experiences

  as your family considers its disaster preparedness plan, please ensure that the secretary has up-to-date contact information for you and your emergency contact.

  also, we have re- peatedly seen good results when brothers and sisters are prepared with go bags and are ready to obey direction when they face various kinds of disasters.

  please be sure you have a go bag, and review its contents at least once a year.

  Here’s an idea. Fill your go bag with old stale crackers and cheap wine, then pull it out next year for the Memorial! Presto, two problems solved!

  I believed at the time, and still think is likely, that the WT had printed way too many of the Revelation book, were embarrassed to have them offered to the public, and only had the JWs study it so they would use up the inventory. Excess inventory management, that’s all
