back in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.
you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.
then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.
Zoom changed everything it’s all so relaxed now
many on the school don’t come to in person they just do their items on zoom
elders often have an excuse for not coming to meetings think they have COVID or something or just say I’m not sure so to be on the safe side I will stay home again
the only items that can’t be done on zoom are Q&A unless everyone is on zoom and there is no in person which still happens from time to time

Punk now it’s just skipped, if the person isn’t there and not on zoom or technical problems more likely they just go into the the next item and the meeting finishes that bit early.
Technical problems is always a good excuse “I was all prepared but my internet went down” if you forgot you had an item🤣

It’s certainly getting easier for elders and mini servants
yes you could take a watchtower or congregation book study without any preparation as it’s all just regurgitating what’s on the page
there is a real problem now if not enough appointed men who want to serve. Cost of living crisis has made it worse.
it has to be made very easy these days, even taking the midweek chairman is easy enough. You are supposed to prepare every item in case someone can’t do it but they often just miss it out and finish early
a thoughtful read in today's huffington post.
it reminded me of how glad i am that 1st gen and i left the cult together and worked on keeping our closest relationships alive.
it wasn't easy.

She is not bad to look at, I wish I was one of her neighbours 🤣
i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.
also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .
there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.
Perhaps Aldrins memory of regarding whether or not this was television broadcast of that was faulty. In it you can see the astronaut taking his final steps off the lander. You can also see two astronauts moving around on the moon. An introduction to the video explains why the image quality is so poor.
-
by final steps do you mean first steps? The so called one small step for man steps were filmed by a camera already on the moon?
so many holes in the official stories and you wonder why the witnesses get so many people to believe nonsense 🤣

we watched you guys land on the moon.”
Aldrin: “No, you didn’t. Because there wasn’t any television, there wasn’t anybody taking the picture. You watched animation so you associated what you saw with…

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you weren't alive at the time and don't remember the animations (?)
Yes I’m too young to remember the animations live but we can all see them now and 😂

He just released another video from the studio flat

Zoey - Why has nobody been to the moon in such a long time?
Aldrin - Ha...That's not an eight-year-old's question; that's my question; I want to know, but I think I know. Because we didn't go there and that's the way it happened and, and if it didn't happen.
what are your comments on the second example where Buzz admits it was animation?
