Very sad, but not surprising. No one cares unless they see you at the hall every meeting and in service every week. Not sure how more don't wake up to this terrible cult.

Not one visit, 8 years in a nursing home, and not one visit!
by Raymudas Martini inmy dad{rip}, was a faithful jw since the year i was born, i'm 60, he died 2 years ago.
his last 12 years were spent in an assisted living/nursing home right in the small town where he spent the last 8 years of being an elder/pioneer.
when he went into the home, one brother would visit him regularly, but after 4 years, that friend moved away, and visitation from the locals ceased, for 8 years!!!!!!!

Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?
by Room 215 ini may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.
any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?

Jehovah God is Real
by TakeOffTheCrown inthere are many on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists; that he is not a real being.
but, he is as real as next breath you draw into your nostrils.. some of you say that there is no evidence that he exists.
yet, none of you can prove that he does not exits.. cofty, (you come to mind), i appreciate that you have stated, without reservation, that you do not believe that god exists.. yet, you cannot prove it.. hope in jehovah..

Let me tell you a story:
This story involves some members of the Christian Congregation. These ones were baptized under their given names becoming members of the Congregation.
One day, they saw this large edifice off into the distance. They became very curious and decided to enter. Inside, were those dressed in long black robes with diadems on their heads. And, on these diadems, were inscribed their new names - their Usernames. The ones in the black robes were speaking the most vile things. Taunting Jehovah’s people and cursing him.
Lol, yes that large ediface is in Warwick and those inside wearing the black robes are the governing body. They are Gogs people indeed. (though they recently flip flopped on who gog really is)

Sanctimonious, "WE'RE Thankful EVERY day."
by stillin inthanksgiving is really just a nice, traditional, family-oriented day set aside on a national level.
no babylon the great.
give me a break with the holier than thou, "we don't celebrate thanksgiving.

Yet most Jw's will be getting together with family and friends today just like everyone else. They just won't call it Thanksgiving.

Canada Bethel (Georgetown) to begin renovations early 2017
by Richard_I ina letter was just read at my midweek meeting that georgetown (canada bethel) will have renovations done on it beginning spring 2017. the letter asked for publishers who are electricians/plumbers/etc.
and in good standing to apply to help out.
those helping out will be considered "part-time commuters" and will only be at the property for about 3 days a week and must reside outside of bethel and pay for all their own expenses.

Did they remind them to donate money also?

So, how did the 'beard article' go over yesterday at your congregation?
by neat blue dog inat mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.
two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.
but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.

I recorded the comments, i'll have to see if i can figure out how to upload them. Nothing too negative said about them at my hall, but at another hall locally the conductor said its clear they aren't accepted around here because if they were then brothers would be wearing them. I don't think it'll change much around here after the article. Witlesses need the clear o.k. to grow them and nothing is ever clear in the W.T.

Brother with a beard on jw.org!
by neat blue dog inok, slight exaggeration: specifically, an official recording of the july 25th, 2016 midweek meeting in german sign language downloaded from stream.jw.org, (log-in required), includes a brother with a beard giving one of the talks:.

I started growing my first one about a month ago and an elder asked if i was growing a beard. I told him "yep, figured i'd give it a try since i've never had one". He didn't say anything else. The other elders have avoided me so far and a few people have said they like it. One sister came up and asked me "what is that on your face!?" I asked her if she would say the same to Jesus if he was here. I then told her there are no rules against them.

Yes they read a letter after last sundays meeting about this. The letter said a paper copy could be obtained but it also reminded people to donate in order to support the arrangement. Typical.

"Dont run too fast!"
by stuckinarut2 inhas anyone else seen that "classic" music clip in the june broadcast yet??.
"don't run too fast".
if not, do yourself a favour and watch it!.

haha, wow i didn't think it was real at first, i was thinking it was a parody or something, but no, these nuts continue to impress me. It looks like only the chinese congregations have an issue with running too fast though. ha

I doubt they'd get df'd. Many watch fireworks in early July and go to local parades. An idiot jw i know gave his kids a hard time for lighting those chinese lanterns and letting them go, but will take them to parades even though they originate with the military and politics supposedly. Jw's have the dumbest reasoning for not doing certain things because it has pagan origins. Most everything we do was done by the pagans at one time.
