Meeting announcement for emergency contact info of non-JW friends & relatives (?)

by LongHairGal in

jw
friends

i just saw this post on reddit and can hardly believe it.. if i remember correctly years back they told you not to have anything to do with non-jw friends or relatives.

they discouraged you from bothering with non-jw family and to avoid them on holidays!!

i needlessly missed out on some delicious holiday meals with people who genuinely cared about me.

In our congregation there was this old bachelor who lived in a modest home but owned millions in real estate and had a sizeable bank account. One of the elders helped him out for many years hoping that the congregation would get the money. When the old guy finally died he had given it all to his worldly nieces and nephews. Lol

We had a similar story in a congregation I once went to, except the old bachelor willed his property to the WT Society instead of the Elder who took care of him.

He was one pissed off Elder.

Awake Magazine - No Longer Being Printed?

someone made reference in another post that the awake magazine had ceased publication.

maybe i missed it since i have not been on here as much in the last 6 months.

is this true?

If they don't print it, they don't have to spend ANY money on paper, ink, machinery, maintenance, and shipping. Much cheaper to produce the magazines digitally so their donation dollars can be allocated elswhere instead of writing checks to their paper and ink vendors.

The Awake Magazine and the Watchtower Magazine Public Edition will continue to be out of print for several more months. No explanation given!

Most likely due to the ongoing supply chain issues and rising costs of the materials needed to produce the magazines.

10 cents to cover the cost of the ink and paper just doesn't cut it anymore.

Jehovah's Witnesses: remembering the weird and wacky!

by Vanderhoven7 in

do you remember some of the weird and wacky stuff emanating from the watchtower society?

let's make a list from memory that we can use to inject a little humor into our discussions with jehovah's witnesses.

- venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.

We might still be counting on our fingers today!

So, THAT'S how they figured 607 BCE!!!! That explains it.

Religious groups in UK failing children over sex abuse, report says - BBC News

by ballistic in

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58420270.

this item just featured on the bbc lunchtime news today as the headline story and the piece included a reporter who singled out jehovah's witnesses for discussion from the 30 organisations covered by the report.

the news item then went on to feature an extensive interview ex elder and ex jehovah's witness writer lloyd evans..

While the mother may have had a social responsibility to report the abuse, she was not legally obliged to do so.

ANY Parent who does not report the abuse of THEIR CHILD is just as big a piece of shit as the elders.

by BoogerMan in

may 2022 study watchtower page 6, par.

5 “satan instigated an attack on the anointed brothers who were taking the lead in the kingdom-preaching work.

prominent ones among them were the figurative “two witnesses” spoken of as being killed.”.

Before the United Nations was referred to as the “disgusting thing” by the JWs, the League of Nations held that title.

Pat Robertson makes one last ''doomsday prediction''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

pat roberston,92, comes out of his million dollar mansion ( which his loyal followers paid for ) to continue his doomsday prediction.

pat needs to make one last appearance to show his followers he was right all along.

after all his failed predictions on his ''700 club,'' pat needs to show his followers that this ''doomsday prediction'' is a bible prophecy.

Davros

I wonder if he still eats his Age-Defying Protein Pancakes?

by Simon in

we seemed to have reached peak cancel-culture.

now, we get to try to cancel the citizens of an entire country for something their government chose to do.. really, we can't allow russian individuals to compete in sports?

to live a life?.

Until that happens they and those who support them are nothing other than virtue signalling hypocrites!"

It's only done to make THEMSELVES look and feel better. All they are saying and doing is "Hey look at meeeeeee, see how much I care? I'm so much better than you."

Hypocrites is correct!!

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

LE is claiming on Twitter the letter from his wife is fake and added to his legal defamation claim.

If it is fake, how do we know he isn't the one faking it in order to get sympathy and show proof of how his enemies are attacking him?

Can you imagine this man as a power hungry elder?

Unfortunatly, yes. Many Elders act just like this.
