i remember when i was a jw, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon.
it’s better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations i always got told.
so the best thing i ever got was johnny walker red back then (johnny walker is cheap blend).
Some congregations in hick towns can be this way but most are not
i actually live in an area where good alcohol and fine food is appreciated. Dinners at families homes are usually indulgent. I like where I live
where I grew up now that’s a different story. Everyone were cheapskates
Yes we sing along it’s actually fun
Laugh all you want zoom meetings are actually a real family bonding time at least in my house
the kids all get along, we all sing too but we also relax, let kids watch Caleb & Sophia etc. most of the time they play around. It’s enjoyable, that’s all I care about
most churches are back to in-person worship.
not jehovah's witnesses.
is watchtower still managing to fleece the flocks as the sheeple no longer get literature, no longer go to the kh, no longer walk past the donation box?
Our accounts reports are read every month and donations are still flowing in
many also do direct debit now
since this pandemic, especially, are witnesses fine with never having to go to another meeting or assembly again?
?.
Nobody is afraid of elders or governing body, quit making shit up you sound like an idiot
most jws are REALLY enjoying zoom, I know I am. Anyone with young kids freaking loves zoom
Those without kids want to go back to “normal”
honestly I think most actually want to get back to the KH but many enjoy talking as if the “end” will occur before that time
samuel herd made the following statement at the 2015 annual meeting regarding the reduction of services at bethel.. we will be reducing personnel at bethel.
some bethel family members will be invited to serve in the field.
in addition to their regular work, bethel family members will be caring for many of the services that were previously provided by fellow bethelites.. .
Hey I’m looking for the video that was posted of Samuel herd announcing all the cuts then ended with that hilarious mic drop as he exited the stage
Anyone have a link to that?
also looking for a much older video I believe about 1975 where the speaker, I believe a DO said “let me put my notes aside” and then began to pontificate about his thoughts on the end
anyone remember that talk or have a link?
but one i remember was a full on dyed in the wool believer how was a farmer.
around 1975 he sold his farm moved his family to a very rural place and waited for the end to come.
he ended up working for his brother in law hanging drywall.
Spot on simon

i guess almost 15 years now
welcome back
please share any other yes/no questions that might fit with the following 10. also feel free to critique the 10 listed.. testing for transparency.
there are some facts that jehovah's witnesses are reticent to divulge to new prospects.
you may want to find out very early in your discussions if the witnesses you are studying with are open and truthful about their organization's doctrine and practices by asking them a series of sensitive (potentially embarrassing) questions about their personal beliefs.
Is the governing body ever “wrong”?
for what it's worth:.
we just held our 3rd annual new year's day party.. we kept the list down to thirty invites this year with the provision that they could bring guests.
so the final count was well up there.
Very enjoyable to read this
thank you for sharing
i know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.
my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.
i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.
You answered your own question....
nobody cares
