for those who are still attending meetings, what is happening at your congregation regarding field service now that reporting of hours is no longer required?.
are the elders pushing for people to go out in service anyway?.
what is the response?.
Hi Mike,
like I said earlier in this thread, it’s now many years (30+) since I was ‘in’ and there’s been so many changes in that time but can you elaborate on this
Zoom ministry is just an excuse for a social club. Meeting in people’s homes is usually hybrid groups these days. The ones on zoom get to chat to ones in person attending the group.
Are the meetings in people’s homes the meetings for field service?
What on earth is Zoom ministry?
Cheers, mate

LongHairGal:
I really wonder what the majority of the JWs really think about these changes.
It’s many years since I was serving(working) in Bethel but I still recall vividly conversations held in hushed tones where we admitted together some doubts. And I’m referring to members of a branch committee no less! so yes, I don’t just wonder, I know.
The thing is that they have so much invested into life in the borg, that they cannot bring themselves to face up to “the real troof”. Ray Franz referred to their cognitive dissonance.
i used to be here a lot.
every single day almost.
and then i wasn't.. well let's start with a before.
Hi Lee,
oh, my heart goes out to you !
In those JWD days we had such vitality but now we are battling the rampage of time but really we are the same people and we have the same to give.
For me, my beloved Mrs Ozzie departed a few years back and, instead of moderating on JWD in the early hours of the morning, I am battling the sleeping demons, but have tried to keep myself up-to-date with the never-ending tableau of abused victims of the Borg.
Reminiscing on those moderating days, luvs ya Lee, you did good!
Much affection,
Cheers 🍷
Ozzie
i've mentioned before how i've wondered how tony morris must have felt when he was sacked.
yes, i know he's a rehensible human being who got served a healthy dose of karma, or, if you like, divine judgement.
to go from having all there is to have within the world he lived in, to where he is now; that's a long fall.
Just wondering:
Does he go to the meetings at all?
for those still interested in lloyd's fall from grace, i made up a chart of my own.
april 2023 is when he put out his "things are bad" tin cup begging video, and he got a small surge to 592 on the 13th of that month.
i'm also using his all-time peak of 897 from november 2022.. for march, we're gonna say a modest -15, putting him at 352. i'm also curious as to when he might hit 300 and then 200. if he keeps up with an average of -20 every month, he'll be at less than 190 before the end of this year.. happy guessing everyone..
“Time, times and half a time”
350 for me
Cheers🍷
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Hmmm….is any of what he said actually true?
Just more fantasy perhaps?
happy new year!
time to give us your vote for lloyd's fall from grace this month.. december 6th he was at 406. as of today, january 3rd, he's at 388. that is exactly, on the dot, where he was january 3rd of last year!
he's lost all gains from his begging videos and reminders and tin cup waving and etc.. so, fire up the shrooms and let us know where you think flab boy will be on february 2nd.
The signs are there, YouTube earthquakes in one site after another, these surely are the last of the last days for imposters, even the very last days !
So, if we apply “Bible chronology” Watchtower hallucinations to this we start at 607 110 years of failed prophecy, divide by “time, times and half a time” to give a reduction in numbers of 31.
So put me down for 357 please.
Cheers 🍷
okay people, you know the drill.
give us your best estimate for where jabba the hut's fatter, broker cousin will be with patrons on january 2.. some numbers to consider:.
last september is when he did his beg-fest and peaked at 478. just two months later, early november, he was down to 427. .
Oh well, maybe it’ll be third time lucky, I’ll go for 397:- again! 😃

As for why he told Kim? Grubby people like him often seem to get a kick out of telling others (especially women) how grubby they are.
Guilt? In some way he felt the need to confess.
so for those amongst us who celebrate the season .
merry christmas everyone.
.. jan from tam .
Is it MERRY Christmas or HAPPY Christmas ?
Oh, I dunno, have it anyway !
Cheers y’all,
