This is anecdotal. I doubt there is any truth to it. No one is DFed for a particular action they do it by saying you are showing a non christian attitude. If someone was talked to about a mask and they got extremely defensive and told the elder to F off they would very well be DFed.

Disfellowhipped for not wearing facemask?
by Anna Marina inyup - person has done nothing wrong.
but they have called a judicial and from what i can tell refusing to wear a facemask is bothering them more than the person not turning up.. so is this new light?
if you have been called to a judical please remember to stay safe and wear your personal protective equimpment.

Think of how much damage these sites are doing for the cult to go after them.

How do you personally deal with your still in family JWS ?
by Finkelstein infor myself i just try to avoid them intentionally maybe see them once every couple of years on average.
they used to be easy going but over the last 10 years or so they got more cult like and distant and i'm really not bothered by that, maybe a bit.
they stick to their own or other members like they are their family so, its makes it unattractive for myself to connect and reach out to them anymore.

Harry moves to Cali ... and gets woke
by LoveUniHateExams inprince harry and meghan markle, the duke and duchess of sussex, have stepped back from royal duties and moved to an exclusive enclave of california and into a £11 million mansion (i guess they're slumming it, lol).
they have recently made several pod casts, featuring themselves pontificating on a range of subjects - blm, 'structural racism', the environment, etc.. while they're free to make whatever content they wish, it does seem ridiculous.. why should i treat harry or meghan seriously?.
take meghan.

How really gives a rats rear end what any of the these retards do any any given day. Really who cares? England is so stupid to even keep this anachronism. Just give the queen a condo and make the palaces tourist attractions. Only the people who read People and the Enquirer actually follow this horse crap.

Personally I don't believe for a min, that the society did not believe or knew they were wrong on the dates set. If it was a pure Joel Osteen scam they would have set the dates past their sell by dates. they did not. In many cases it was only a few years in the future. Franze and Russell I think were total believers in their own ideology. Rutherford I believe also believed in his 1925 dates. It just makes no sense to put the dates so close and know its gong to fail. I believe that this is a good example of the leaders drinking the same koolaid they are giving the rank and file.

It seems according to this doctor that there was always a cure for Covid 19
by pistolpete inthe media like cnn msnbc, nytimes, etc.
have incentives to scare the public and encourage lock down--blame trump.. democrats also have incentives, to lock down the country—blame trump.
there were incentives for hospitals to report every death as a covid death------30,000 us dollars funded from the government for every covid death reported by any hospital.

There never has been and most likely never will be a cure for any virus. A vaccine is one thing a cure is another.

Were JWs Right That There Would Be A Time When Governments Would Go After All Religion?
by minimus inthey have predicted this for years.
religions of the world would become attacked by the governments.
the only difference is when they go after jehovah’s witnesses, then jehovah god will step in and destroy the governments..

coffy IMO there are no good Muslims. The religion is like saying well this Manson girl is not so bad. Its not the people its the religion. Islam IMO is an evil religion. China has the will and authority to stop the problem before it happens. They don't have Illhan Omars and Talibs calling for the destruction of China and remaking it from the floor of the National Peoples Congress. I don't see Muslims flying planes into their buildings as they know and see the threat. Sorry facts are facts.

I did see in a couple of congregations I was in that the JWs who had businesses would hire the older JWs who did not prepare for retirement. In one case an old drywall hanger who could not hang anymore a builder JW hired him to paint. He was slow not due to being lazy but he was very old in his 80s. It was a pity job.
