Please can someone explain to me why he used this text? JWs don't feel drained for some days. It's 24/7 for years. They have the cooperation demands jobs they have. Then they have watchtower cooperation demands on them also. They always take bible verses that have nothing too do with situation

Sagely advice of a CO
by Vidqun in“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.
he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.
he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….

Meetings were bad back then.
by Rattigan350 inmeetings have always been bad.. if paul had to "command" people to not forsake the gatherings, the meetings must have been really bad.. considering that jesus said in matt 18:20 "for where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there i am in their midst.”".
and then in matt 11:28-30: "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.
take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-temperedi and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

When i became a JW I was told jw meetings were exactly like first Christian meetings. Plus assembly's also like does in old Jerusalem. Totally not the case. Meetings and assemblys in the Bible were about joy. Singing and breaking bread. They have nothing too do with watchtower meetings sitting whole day's just listening too speakers that seem too be half dead. Or watching videos. The depression and mental problems JWs are feeling is because of the Borg. Rutherford turn org to cooperation. JWs are visiting cooperation meetings and thinking they gonna get joy and relief from that. They are very mistaken.
Acts 2:46The believers met together in the Temple every day. They all had the same purpose. They broke bread in their homes, happy to share their food with joyful hearts -

Very Interesting Post...
by XBEHERE inand then, for two years…..nothing happened.until they pretended everything was normal and sent everyone back to the hamster wheel.
back to meetings, back to d2d, back to assemblies & conventions.
everyone, get back on the hamster wheel, and don’t you dare complain or try to get out of it by using zoom.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/14fhe4y/exercise_patience_classic_gaslighting_from_wt/ .

Tony Morris "this is the moment we all been waiting for" start of pandemic was epic. Most be first time a GB member was right about something. The moment we were waiting for came...the sacking of uncle Morris.

PROOF Mormons have the truth
by neat blue dog indaniel prophesied that god would “set up a kingdom” that would “never be destroyed” and would “stand for ever” (daniel 2:44).
in making this prophecy, he spoke of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints... and it will continue to progress until it has “filled the whole earth”... hundreds of thousands of people are baptized every year.
the book of mormon is being translated in many languages.

Think Mormon have done things in a more "biblical way". Choosing people that probably are in a healthy state of mind and body. Pairing them, training them, send them as missionaries abroad. Seems more like Jesus approach. Watchtower cooperation done things more like a American cooperation would do things. Main goal is cover district as soon as possible and statistics end of year. So you send everyone out d2d. People that have anxiety, depression, shy, hate preaching or have mental problems or just crappy personalities. No wonder most JWs you see preaching dont have any joy.

Saw often Mormons out preaching before covid. Didn't see any JW. What i notice they were more enthusiastic then JWs. Hade more zeal. Plus smiled and said hello when I passed them. In general they seem more cheerful. From what I heard they also help each other out on congregatios. They probably not doing good. They have their problems, like many other "Christian" group's. But think they doing better then watchtower.

My pimi mother told me her elder wants to visit her with co. To get her off Zoom. She said she's not interested in having a visit. She started talking about were all money from sold kingdom halls is going and about child abuse cases in org. Yesterday I was talking to another pimi JW friend. And out of the blue he started talking about org and United nations. And why is org pushing vaccin. Seems too be a great waking up among pimis. Like mass upheaval.

For me last decade visiting convention has been shocking. Congregations out in service inviting every household to visit Convention and all I saw was JWs attending. That's really weird. Plus now not even JWs want to attend.
