  by JWTom in

  there was a letter read sunday at our meeting that mentioned some parts of us are starting to open back up.

  however, regardless of things opening up that no kingdom halls should be used for any meetings of any kind.

  also, no door-to-door ministry or any form of in-person ministry is allowed.

  So it's not saying that KH's will be closed indefinitely, just for the foreseeable.

  Sounds almost unbelievable to me. But I do believe the cult will become another online based “religion”.

  By that logic, god himself must have a creator more complex than him, and so would that creator, and that one ad infinitum.

  You could pick literally any period of history where all of those points could apply.

  The black death was worse than anything we have now.

  WWII killed more than any war going on now.

  Times are better now than they were in times past. I'd ask which period of history he'd rather live in?

  And also, since when have JWs preached the gospel of Jesus? When they call they talk about armageddon or the org - not Jesus ransom sacrifice.

  some people i know have not gone out of their houses in weeks.

  some will walk near their homes and run right back in.

  meanwhile, i go food shopping and i see tons of people, many with masks and gloves on..

  I've been given provision to work from home. We only go out for shopping once a week and to walk the dog - keeping well away from others... but there's hardly anyone out anyway.

  At first working from home was enjoyable. But now I'm finding that I end up just working solid 8:30-5 without a break because I'm already home and if my phone rings I just answer it and deal with the issue.

  Really need to get into a routine I think.

  I was checking my old hotel reviews online a while back and noticed one in Liverpool I reviewed that I stayed in during the convention. £450+ for three days!! The hell was I thinking wasting that money on a 3 day convention? And I was still expected to donate (I never did).

  Just think if we added up all the money and time we wasted at these conventions, if we'd have invested it into a fund we'd be better off.

  5. Memorial Emblems: As a reminder, Memorial emblems should be available at each location if possible. However, it is understood that it may not be possible for some to ac-quire the emblems. Please inform such individuals that they do not need to put forth extraordinary efforts to acquire the emblems if no anointed ones will be present.—w852/15 p. 31 par.4
  

  
  Then why even hold the bloody memorial in the first place?!!!

  If "Zoom" is All They Have Now.....

  think of the possibilities, if this technology is all they have to stay in touch with their minions think of the wonderful possibilities..... 1. think of what just one molotov cocktail or flame thrower could do to their broadcasting room and the "world wide work.

  2. or better yet if "v" (for vendetta) hacked into their broadcasting system...and told them the real truth.

  3. just one rogue bethelite could have all kinds of fun..... i can dream can't i.....

  My brother tells me that my fulltime pioneer mum doesnt know what to do with herself and "is struggling" without the meetings or ministry. She has JWBroadcasting on all day everyday in the background.

  How indoctrinated can you get?
