I think it is very sad the Petra and Atlantis are leaving, they were always very helpful and kind and I found the information they provided very useful
Petra and Atlantis thank you very much and take care.
Goodbye All.

whilst i have never quite understood whether petra and atlantis are one or multiple entities i recognise the value of their work and web of contacts.
i think it is fair to say that no-one has consistently contributed more solid gold intelligence to this site.
no one has reliably passed on more bomb shells and solid news as well as day to day minutiae.

Looks identical to the GL.iNet GL-AR750 mini router. (With the name covered up).
'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?
you lost your job and you searched for another one.
finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.
You must trust in God, we will trust in you continuing to send in the donations.
the other day i went to this farm owned by this jw lady with my wife being a jw and my mother being a non witness.
later taking to my mother she noticed this vibe like this jw lady really hated her.
she just had these little slags like when we tried to pay for the fruit we picked , she looked directly at my wife and said " don't worry about it, i only charge wordly people ".. i also have this aunt who is a jw we are estranged from.
The reference to the world being a "Dead man walking" is actually from the study article in the Watchtower of April 2017 page 9.

Hi Atlantis
Please drop me a link. Thank you for all the great work.
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"..
One reviewer of a totally non J.W. android app said it was a scam, full of questionable advertising and definitely not an official app and to not download it. Guess what the very next review said?
"What a wonderful provision from Jehovah" Help!
have you guys seen jw.org today?
the main article is entitled “the four horsemen of revelation.”.
looks like the pale rider has arrived..... .
Every time I read about a nasty virus,bacterium, parasite, etc that is considered to be part of some biblical sign I ask myself how does a JW answer this simple question - Was it designed or did it evolve?
the watchtower—study edition | march 2020. .
4 jesus taught us the importance of making peace with a brother who has something against us.
(read matthew 5:23, 24.
Why can it nor be the case that if someone upsets you, just tell them how horrible and unchristian they are, and of course now you have gave them the marvellous opportunity to follow the Watchtowers guidance, show the fruits of the spirit and forgive YOU!
You would soon find out like a lot of JW rules they usually only work one way.
i believe when we were in the jw cult, our brains and thoughts were hijacked by the governing body.
i truly believe the gb thinks all members are stupid and they laugh at them in their wednesday morning secret meetings.. one such teaching that i never heard anyone bring out or question yet the absurdity and contradiction is blatantly obvious is: revelation chapter 20 says that christ will reign for 1000 years.
it doesn't say he will reign more than a thousand yrs but only 1000 yrs.
So Satan is a really bad guy, but according to the J.W. beliefs he has been ruling the earth for almost 2000 years. (Whole world in his power 1 John 5:19 etc.) Jesus however, a really good guy only gets to rule the earth for half that time, 1000 years, and as posters have pointed out a chunk of that has gone already. Seems kinda crazy.
wtc has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.
for example, when puerto rico was devastated by a hurricane, wtc directed a large number of congregations to donate $1500 each in supplies that would be used for relief purposes.
it is not known how many congregations took part in this effort but the feedback suggests it was in the hundreds.
Thanks Barbara, more and more everything seems to be about creating ways to get money from people with this organization. When I was heading out I stopped putting any money in the box, picked a "worldly" charity and gave to them every month. At least you get some indication where the money is going.
