  1. and this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting!

  -oh, gawd.. 2. if you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison.

  stick with something dignified and subtle.

  1. And this is most important, everyone listen up: dress up like you normally would for meeting! -Oh, gawd.

  2. If you use a zoom background, make sure it is not distracting, or something crass like prison. Stick with something dignified and subtle. -Ha! prison would be appropriate!

  3. It is new, but we want to encourage everyone to answer because your answers encourage others to participate. -Answer up circle jerk?

  4. Please put your last and first name on zoom so the brothers can call on you. -Yeah, right... that is why you want our names, not to report back to our overlords that we were there. You can see us the same as at the hall!

  Next meeting will be about how we do not have rules and that is why different congregations met when others didn't. It isn't that we aren't organized and are scrambling to keep control of you...

  Also, hearing that lots of people are getting scared and going back by attending these Zoom meetings. uggh. People need to do their research.

  Oh! Oh! I almost forgot, the most important. The meeting code (?) and password might change each time, and you will get an email invite a few hours before each meeting. -oooooh, like a secret knock! We must be in the end!

  Also, people are saying this is what they do in China, yeah right. If you want a ticket out of China and a bill for it with those Zoom security leaks!

  BTW, they lie so much. I heard they didn't have any web security and Jehovah miraculously took care of them until 2015ish when some JW alerted them to the danger. Well, ex-bethelites who worked in web/internet security tell a different tale from 2011 when they were threatened by Anonymous. They had security before that and locked that s... down.

  They closed NY Bethels to the public March 7th. Way before they told JW's to stop meeting, in fact they encouraged some to continue to meet according to the letters from Atlantis and Petra. Well, at the least they did not discourage meeting, and we know they are brainwashed into thinking not going to meeting could mean losing their life in the big A. We had 20+ old people at meeting the week of March 9th (we listened in, refusing to go because we have some brains). I also think a case could be made that they first told Britain and other places to stop holding meetings for publicity because of IICSA and other sensitive areas.

  see betheltours4u for the bethel closure.

  This Sucks: Every Day this pandamic goes on, PIMI wife is slipping further and further into the WT abyss

  there will be no hope that she will ever come out of the wt abyss.

  her mind is so diluted with the cult, i.e.

  the best life ever.

  I feel your pain. This zoom thing is also just wt's dream, with some elder's saying to keep your video on, no eating or drinking, dress up. (Do we sit in a circle at the hall to watch everyone's expression???)

  I don't know if it would help, but maybe find a documentary on the black death or something like that (like the one that killed like 20% of the world's population, am I right on that?) and watch it loud enough for her to hear it?

  I'm sorry. It is so sad.

  Repetition Of Things/Repetition for Emphasis!

  by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

  all this gt,end of times, corona, etc has got me thinking that something i read some time back may perhaps seem true abotu repetition.. james clear wrote an article about:why facts dont chnage our minds.

  "silence is death for any idea.

  an idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it.

  JWbrainwashing had a good parody of an old drama, he or she sliced together all the times they said Jehovah. It just repeated it over and over. Kinda funny, and kinda real and as annoying as heck. It is gone now. I think JWBrainwashing is PIMO, because he or she immediately took down all the vids that wt wanted taken down. They were parody and not just copies. Anyway... Jehovah!

  They are using zoom or phoning in. Sometimes they all listen to JWStream, sometimes a small group holds a meeting, sometimes it is all on zoom, That way they can keep track of who is listening in or watching, just as a cult would. The phone in lines keep track of the time people come on and off to the minute, and they keep that data for months if not longer. Some elders are telling people they need to keep their camera on on zoom, and they are not allowed to eat or drink, and of course they need to dress up. It is high controlling, just like a cult. hmmmm.....

  Warning!

  by FedUpJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  no...not a warning from me, rather that is the subject of the "local needs" that i heard was presented via zoom tonight.. beware of apps!

  they harped on the idea that only apps approved by the governing body should ever be downloaded or used by jdubs.

  they said if they had not been featured in the litterature or specifically recommended by the governing body then jdubs should heed the warning and avoid them.. i guess they are, as we all suspected, very afraid of what the dubs will find out now that they have to use only electronic devices for their "food"..

  Sounds like my grandparents and the older ones in the hall. If wt says be careful of apps that look like they come from them, but don't... Well, that means no apps except WT's. The more crazy people get, hopefully the easier it is for people to wake the h up.

  a listing site has declared the watchtower the most popular magazine in the world.. source: https://tingtopten.com/2020/01/top-10-most-popular-magazines-in-the-world/.

  Who `d a Thought The GB would Listen to the United Nations And Stop Witnessing for Jehovah.?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  "we must obey god rather than men" act.5:29 has sure been discarded now and the gb are obeying the united nations world health organization and shutting down all of their "witnessing" operations ,very effectively i might add.. instead of boldly proclaiming the kingdom message as they used to blow there own trumpet about obeying god rather than men they are now more in fear of what the superior authorities will do to them if they don`t obey them.. this is something nobody banked on ever happening least of all the governing body of jehovah`s witnesses that the preaching work would come to a standstill .. of course they will put a spin on it ,that there protecting the health and well being of their members and the public.. but the fact remains they are not trusting in jehovah to protect their members nor are they trusting in jehovah to keep the "worldwide preaching work" going.. what do you think ?.

  Just goes to show how much their rhetoric changes over the years evolves. They have not stressed door to door very much at all for years. It has all been about the carts. Since the beer sickness, of course, they stress letter writing (by hand, not typed or copied like the old BE book said to do, because you can waste more time), phone calls, texts, video conferencing, to do the 'ministry work'/recruitment. They will brag about how they continued preaching during this time, ignoring the fact that they dis-obeyed their misinterpretation of going door to door. Probably even telling stories about how it helped them see if the bible students were sincere or not, because that is their recent thing, again. I totally agree that the legal beagles, meaning they have a lot in common with a loyal dog, told wt to play it safe and don't create any waves. Don't look over here! We are following all the suggestions!!!

  Edit to say: they are telling people with regular territories to call them or write letters. IDK how they would get anyone's phone number. I remember a long time ago people in heavily worked areas were calling people in 'unassigned territory', I suppose that went away when everyone switched to mobile phones.
