what’s keeping them?
this has got to be the latest it’s ever been.
maybe it’s the last one they’ll ever publish too, after dropping reporting hours for publishers ….
There's a lot happening for different groups in Europe. Protestants are booming in China. Watchtower spends so many hours recruiting new members. Still there's really not that much happening.

Irland taken in lots of immigrants. Probably JWs that moved there. Africa if householder becomes a JW, children automatically do the same. Yeah nothing really surprising about this statistics. Pretty much stagnant in western world. Only going up are partaking in memorial. Nothing extraordinary going on in JW land. Shall we see if chatolic Church or islam been blessed 2023? 😊
if not, what's in it for the gb?.
but seriously, how is it supposed to work?
pictures of jws in paradise show them raising crops, wearing clothes and building houses.
1000 years gonna be much like how Old Jerusalem was ruled. Temple and money.
“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….
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
meetings 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.
and 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.
elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).
he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.
co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.
Convention is like memorial. Is the time of Year when people that never visit meetings gather.
daniel 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.
