In Canada we think of America as the lunatic asylum to the south. Greed, hate, corruption... completely Darwinian, me first arrogance.
you asked...
Only from there could spawn and support a religion like JWs, and throw in Mormons and Scientologists

hi folks.. i put this in practices as i thought that appropriate.
perhaps it should be in scandalous behavior.
not a big deal but an example of the cult-ish intimidation and behavior.. at the end of this mornings short wt review prior to the convention brainwash by jackson, ( melbourne australia) the elder stated "brothers we have a resolution to present to the congregation".
“NO COLLECTIONS TAKEN”
Remember this LOL
And what is being done is not ‘collection’.... LOLOL
One problem that now appears, how to get the basket down the aisle...
Publishers are asking ‘how do we contribute?’ ... we can’t go to the hall.
I have been relating to some since years before Covid, how there would shepherding calls for the specific reason of getting bank account numbers and bleeding publisher’s accounts directly. Well, I think it’s about to begin,
the watchtower—study edition | october 2019. .
study article 41. stay faithful through the “great tribulation”.
14 during the great tribulation, a change will take place regarding the brothers who take the lead on earth.
I’ll bet a few billion bucks will get raptured along with them.
i hear that all wt payroll personal in the uk are now in full lockdown/sheilding mode until november..
Lockdown of all religions, and the attack of Trump-of-Magog
my experience was that most jws wanted to have an elder “friend” just in case they got into any “trouble “.kinda like knowing that certain cop who might get you out of a jam.
.
of course there was another group who did everything they could to either kiss the elders’ ass or stonewall them anytime they came snooping around.. how did you and the “older men” get along?.

Family ties. But the clock is running on that one.
As far as my involvement, you’d truly be surprised how little involvement it takes to appear robust in the Borg.
And thanks to Covid19, even less. In fact, I haven’t had to do anything Borgish in a good long time. Other than don my Z and show the face on Zoom occasion.
Less and less as time progresses, and the Borg dies.
i don't have the hanging down parts to do it (and my wife would probably divorce me), but i just got my beevis and butthead shirts from walmart.
i bought two with beevis doing his alter ego thing as cornholio.
she told me not to even wear them outside of the house.. https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=cornholio.
My life
Yeah, I thought so.
I got pushback from family at first, but family soon realized it was a good thing.
I’ll tell you this, I was not putting on a damned shirt and tie, on-off-on-off

I have a good relationship with the bulk of the body I serve on.
yep... still servin’... on paper LOL
I recently had a textual with, we will call him young elder Jay, and he used several interesting phrases to refer to elders sent in from the branch.
His words last week.
”didn’t think to highly of any of those guys”
”total disaster”
“these bozo”
Regarding the hall
””that damn hall is way too much work”
”I’ll lose my mind”
”those dang stupid stones”
”insane”
”fed up with the crap”
The dubs would be so happy if the hall was gone, and I have heard many comments on that. One sister was quite open, her hubby is an elder, she feels the preaching was BS and the hall too.
The Borg is coming unglued.

I made a zoom shirt. My “Z” for short,
Its an old shirt I didn’t like with a tie I hated. I cut it straight down the back with the tie on it. I stitched the tie in. I put a hook on the back of the collar.
I put it on like a hospital gown and hook it, 3 seconds. Over my T shirt.
Viola. Zoomin’.
Show the face, go dark. Bye bye. Preserve relationships.

The BBC is carrying a program Sunday which will talk about JWs,
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kww2
At my house, that is what we will be watching.
However, brother Eldernozy texts me that “we” (thinks he’s included me and mine) will be listening to the Friday program on Sunday followed by getting ‘tocovidgether’ post to share.
Interesting... this was at the behest of ‘da branch’ sayz he.
Are the guvy budz thinking that they will keep us away from the tele for the day?
