When do the 2300 days begin?

by Kosonen in

when to begin the countdown of the 2300 days?

to get an idea, it could be helpful to discern when those days end relative to time times and half a time.. i see a possibility that the 2300 days end the same day as the 1260 days.

that is because the woman in revelation 12 will be fed 1260 days.

Are All Of The Bethels Worldwide In Shutdown (Covid 19) ? Still Operating ?

how about all of the printing activities including wt and awake magazines ,tracts and brochures etc.?.

are they all still a going concern ?.

how many people would there be on average at any one bethel home ?.

I have a family member who is in one of the overseas Bethels, and they have no cases there. They have been on lockdown for the duration. However, in the US, the Bethel sites of Warwick, Wallkill, Patterson, and Fishkill are all right in the danger zone where the virus has hit the worst, so I would be surprised if they didn't have cases.

Thanks Atlantis,

Now that I see it, I watched this movie some time ago and didn't know the name of it. It's curious that I don't remember seeing it back in the '60's. In '66 I was a bit young, but I think I would have remembered it.

All looks familiar except the last one 'The Film'. I have no recollection of that or anything like it.

An old JW friend got back to me ,Phillipine Convention experience and my reply.

by smiddy3 in

this link had to do with the experience that was given by a young witness pioneer in the phillipines convention and her take was on return to jehovah .. an old time friend from the past sent me this link a couple of weeks ago trying to encourage me to come back to the religion and asked me what i thought of it ?.

i said i would if she could reply to my 2 questions first fair enough ?

so far i haven`t heard back from her and i will let you know if and when i do.. the 2 questions i asked her was to do with jehovah`s name and the christian greek scriptures ,especially the ki publication the wt brought out ,the word for word greek to english that didn`t have an equivalent greek word for jehovah .. and the other one was to do with the charge that was given to christians ,followers of jc to witness about jesus with over 20 such scriptures and not one saying anything about being a witness for jehovah anywhere in the nt.. over the years she has always still kept in touch, a little bit eccentric and we had a lot to do with her family and mine back in the day when we were all believers .. .and she is not backward in coming forward about having a go at the elders who she doesn`t agree with .. at the time i looked at the link and have posted somewhere else about it on this forum and mentioned i didn`t see anything about "returning to jehovah" in it .. anyway this was a few weeks ago and i was still waiting to hear from her..today we got mail from her ,,slow mail ,even though we have each others e-mail address .and in the envelope was only the wt "return to jehovah " and inside a $50 note.?.

$50 ? OK that doesn't make any sense, I can't imagine what she was thinking.

Good luck getting any response to your questions!

We stayed at the Towers Hotel once before the WT purchased it. It was kind of a dive at that time.

Zoom meetings to continue thru July

by Wakanda in

co is coming and expecting to zoom it in july.

also there is no talk about starting to slowly go back to the hall.

like having 1 group at the hall and the rest on zoom, etc.

dropoffyourkeylee

My wife is doing all the zoom meetings, and I have seen enough of it to see that it isn't all that bad. It's interesting how people adapt to a new norm rather quickly. I think the biggest part missing is the socializing before and after meetings. They do some chatting while they are writing letters, but besides that there isn't much.
