this night i could not sleep and my thoughts went on and on.
the result:.
i observe that many jw family members follow the instructions of the elders at zoom meetings like they come directly from god.
I think of JWs like you mentioned the same way I think of someone who is mentally ill. You ever met anyone with dementia or with a severe developmental disability? That.
They say things normal people wouldnt say.
They do things normal people wouldnt do.
They think things about the outside world that normal people dont.
They're mentally ill. Being in the JW org is self-induced mental illness.
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.
just received this note out of the blue from a pimi jw.
how would you respond?.
hi vander,.
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.
a japanese sister living in kansai was asked by japan's branch office to take f. franz and his cronies to wining and dining.. her daughter left borg and are now publishing her experiences.. .
Great.
Is there a link to more photos? Is she on a blog or something?
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.
prudent decision even if the pandemic is over you are going to have people that.
lost jobs can't afford to go.
not allowed any vacation time rest of year.
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.

Can you not just dress from the waist up?
Or just the nipples up? Who's gonna know?
