He could have done a great video about if unbelievers are not as likely to survive as those those who have died are likely to be resurrected, then people might as well go back to hoping their relatives die before Armageddon again

I guess he no longer “talks the talk or walks the walk”.

After being out of the borg for some years, empathy with the R & F is no longer there. Indeed, why should it? I find in my own case, after being out for thirty years, that I find it hard to relate to the modern-day life of the R& F and if it weren’t for the fact that every one of my children and relatives were well and truly in the borg I’d have even less interest in it.

Field Service

by Ding in

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?.

@Mikejw

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.

What have I been doing for the last few years?

by Lee Marsh in

friends

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 🍷

The Saddest Thing About Tony Morris's Removal

by NotFormer in

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.

ozziepost

Just wondering:

Does he go to the meetings at all?

Lloyd Evans Patreoff Pool March 2024

by DerekMoors in

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🍷
