i saw a post on reddit from somebody claiming to be an elder that the jw religion wants to contact all inactives.. some of the responses indicate that some were contacted or had close friends or relatives being asked for their contact information.
some of these people have been out of the jw religion for many years and have moved on.
the ones contacted said the jw informed them about cancelled meetings (as though they would care).
An elder even mentioned helping in-actives at mtg today, sort of in context of recent events, Hypes people up like, OMG if they are doing that we must really be near the end!
No, if wt does something in their interest, it does not mean we are near the big A.
the losing jobs and having poor health will be applied for sure in whatever meeting is held.. but i wonder if anyone will connect the middle aged man losing his job and the old and the sick with the way bethelites are treated..
OMG I forgot. Need to bring it up later.
hey guys,.
i'm out of the jws for 12 years now and stopped thinking about the whole thing a long time ago.. but recently, i wondered how jws deal with corona?
i've read on the forums that they suspended meetings and tried to hold them online.. but are they still doing field service?.
Well, today the USA branch letter read at the hall with the 10ish people meeting said no more field circus. Finally! I told my family. They tentatively agreed. Then came the praise that Jehovah gives us timely direction.. puke. It was men giving LATE direction!!! Also, they said to limit meeting together to 10 or less, but NO direction on social distancing, So, I am sure the DIE hards will be meeting in homes for field circus, etc. I hope to find out next week if that couple go to that studies' house again. OMG. They proudly announced how many were in attendance on the phone and in person and it was about 40 more than normal. They are going bonkers, and yes some POMIs are "returning to Jokehova", God of ruin and mischief. (Hovah on one of those bible dictionary things)
#staythef@(<home !!!
ps, Lovely wt telling the sick to buck up and stay happy for the rest of us! arseholes
pps Just had to vent, more time with PIMI family lately.
we all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.
our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.
stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.
WT Wizard: At least when they had the Kool Aid party, it was only the cult members and not the whole community that was affected.
This is key.
These murderous jerks all give talks about respecting life.
the losing jobs and having poor health will be applied for sure in whatever meeting is held.. but i wonder if anyone will connect the middle aged man losing his job and the old and the sick with the way bethelites are treated..
I will mention it! Thanks!
It is weird how the mtgs make my thinking turn to mush and I sometimes miss really good points(counter points, I mean).
ok, i don't know if madness has set in, but this seems awesome.. seriously, you need this in your life.
you probably just don't know it yet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij4t9cqa0um.
That was so great. Thanks!

Yes they are continuing field circus in my midwest city. They had mid-week meeting too in my area. My family has stayed home since before our congregation went on phone only; I wrote about that in another post. My congregation has field circus as usual, with a lot of pioneers, just no memorial campaign (JW optics). I heard of a couple going on a study yesterday in an apartment, not over the phone or Skype, in person. For crying out loud, supermarkets are asking only one person of the family! One person that went to the mid-week meeting had someone in their family with a fever, someone who has had a lot of health problems, so they attributed the fever to something other than corona.
"Don't feel guilty", another narcissistic command on how to feel, when they have been indoctrinated to feel guilty and swim with crocodiles to make it to assemblies? Those old people are going out, idiots, but can't totally blame them. I blame the hateful8 that closed up shop March 7th as per the emails to betheltours2you and stopped sending out speakers, etc, then kept sending out vague letters to the elders only. I could wring their necks, but won't. This story needs to be a documentary.
so i just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple.
and guess what?
one can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.. i did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their tos this: you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled.
It has been around for awhile. It was in a Broadcasting episode a few years ago, showing a sister associating through video conferencing. In my area there have been people for years that need to tie in through the phone, with a couple that could probably connect through video conferencing. However, I haven't known any congregation that has it. I know for a fact that the elders have not looked into it in the past (like asking home bound people if they would like it/could learn to use it), but now they are buying, installing, and doing it. They are hypocrites again because they say they go after the one sheep/help the lone sheep. Baloney. They now get directives from "mother" and go ahead and do it. My question is, are they using this as another way to spy on us? Cookies, etc? IDK, and I know so little about computer spying. Also, the video recording they are doing could be for HUB by grabbing a pic to put in the person's file.
i'm a bit of a horror fan - i love horror movies and the novel dracula by bram stoker is a pretty good read - especially the first four chapters, with jonathan harker being in dracula's castle.. i've heard before that stoker based count dracula on a 15th century voivod (prince) of wallachia who went down in history as vlad the impaler - apparently, he was extremely barbaric and cruel, as his name suggests.. vlad's father was also called vlad.
daddy vlad was apparently part of an order of crusader knights, the order of the dragon.
this order was formed to protect christian europe against muslim ottomans/turks.
All I know is from Drunk History. 🤪
3 more letters dated march 13th, from the uk.
there are different mailing addresses at the top.. 2020-03-13https://docdro.id/pxmmef72020-03-13https://docdro.id/adfw87y2020-03-13https://docdro.id/u2tov1ppetra!https://docdro.id/qqtzami
Thanks Petra!
They are doing this because of IICSA. That's the only reason I can find for them being so much more careful in the U.K. It is about publicity.
No new news here in the mid-west. Memorial invite campaign and meetings still going on! Never mind States of Emergency or National Emergency!
If the public knew their policies in the USA, Australia, etc., they would change their rules to be exactly like the U.K. Hard thing is breaking through to the news.
Or am I missing something? I just can't see why the difference!
