As time goes on they will get away with so much

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

when i was young we used to hear things about how they used to smoke and used to celebrate christmas etc.

we were just taught that was olden times now jehovah has clarified things.. but i was thinking about the poor older ones who had been in truth for decades who remembered those times, and they must have had doubts.. well look at the changes today in 2023.. we are supposed to just forget about 1975 and all these other things so what about the things happening in our time that we are supposed to feget about .

we should never forget that following direction to be fully vaccinated was harmful direction.

When I was young we used to hear things about how they used to smoke and used to celebrate Christmas etc. we were just taught that was olden times now Jehovah has clarified things.

These decisions were a "RUTHERFORD THING". Just like the Godforsaken/heinous Blood Ban he instituted (via a QUACK physician), he made erroneous changes from whatever Russell had established initially. It's sad that it was all a POWER PLAY and POWER STRUGGLE which ultimately affected the lives of people who thought they were in a belief system that would benefit their lives and the lives of all mankind. TTAT proved that this is all about: POWER, CONTROL, AND $$$$$$, not about/for welfare plus the well-being of humankind in general!

The Org. covering up the SHUNNING POLICY !!

The cultporation doesn't want to APPEAR to be a HATEFUL/HATEFILLED organization. They are getting a plethora of backlash plus publicity about their unchristlike policies. Since they are still endeavoring to garner converts, more than likely they have made this move.

Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom

by XBEHERE in

jw

i can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.

this had to come down from the top.

maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

A PIMO relative told me that a number of NYC congs will not be able to view the upcoming RCs via ZOOM. Congs in other states (such as VA, WVA, NC, SC, GA, FL, LA, TN, etc.) will be provided this platform (with special ID#s and passcodes) for those who cannot attend in person. However, my relative related that her elduhs and elduhs from other dubs who she is friends with in other NYC congs are encouraging members--regardless of their physical/ medical, financial, or secular statuses--to travel to the CAHs where the RCs are usually held. After "giving a piece of her mind" to her elduhs about this, one of them (who she gets along with) called her back a couple of days ago to tell her that he will try to see if there is another way she can view the RC.

WT is more than likely doing this so that their followers and off-the-street visitors can DONATE when they cry out for contributions! This is the usual $$$$$GRAB technique, particularly since the cultporation has not received plenty of funds during the pandemic! #SHIESTYAF!

My neighbour's views on J.W's

by Phizzy in

jw

i came across a thread on a site for neighbours, which includes quite a wide area really, many square miles containing a lot of villages, and a couple of towns.

it is so we can swap unwanted goods, inform each other of local crimes and scams etc, and we can vent.. there was a post that said the lady did not want this crap coming through her door, a letter and a tract from a j.w.

i won't post the thread here , as at least one xjw is on there, but all the comments below her post were anti-jw !

As a sidebar=> The leadership doesn't care if the "outside world" hates the membership, just as long as they are able to get as many donations as they can obtain plus have the data/census info to be reported to the world's governments in order for it to maintain their 501c3 tax status. As ANTMO remarked in one of his defunct videos: "It doesn't matter to me us!" 😒

Shunning

by Hacche in

can a jehovah's witness please answer me this question - why do you shun those that are disfellowshipped or disassociated?.

jesus never shunned anyone.

if you remember, the pharisees rebuked jesus for eating a meal with sinners.

This is no doubt/more than likely: A RUTHERFORD Thing! 😡

Curtailing zoom

by road to nowhere in

co visit, so right from the horse's mouth ( or somewhere).

too many are staying on zoom, missing face to face encouragement.

look for the elders to implement changes.. also people at the door are so receptive and glad to see us.

by XBEHERE in

another topic based on a conversation with a friend living near warwick (i talked to him over the weekend).

he said that cong's in and around bethel, including his, are slowly starting to see an uptick with people attending in person his cong is pretty much 75%+ in person.

however there are many that still use zoom as a fall back.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses view faithfulness to Jehovah as being equivalent to faithfulness to the Governing Body?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i thought this was an interesting response to the question.

"being faithful and loyal to god implies or includes.

being faithful to your spouse (hebrews 13:4),.

Say something negative about the GB and it is an immediate conversation stopper.

Not only an immediate conversation stopper but any dub (SPIMI, especially, within earshot) will be NOTIFYING/INFORMING the cong's BOEs to schedule a JC (within The Backroom or at that dub's residence) for a meeting/shepherding call. A member having doubts or not believing in the GB (2.0, particularly nowadays) is circumspect and considered an automatic apostate.

Predict JW life in future

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

a sister said the other day at the ministry group “”what is all this talk that the end is still some way off” she said she has been waiting for decades and she was told there is no way it would take this long.

some others said in an annoyed kind of way yes they would have made different decisions decades ago if they knew the end still would not have come by 2023.. how will the majority react in a few more decades time when the end still hasn’t come?.

why all that talk of sense of urgency decades ago?.
