  Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!

  so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.

  and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

  This frequent depiction of Police as gestapo hit squads must fairly piss any serving Police off.

  At one convention the overseer said not to watch "E.T." as he represented the antichrist and this dill of an overseer got the biggest.."Huh..?" from the audience.

  After recent actions in Russia and the GB doing a runner out of that country they left behind instructions on how to 'export' money out of Russia to the WT HQ by keeping the amounts below some amount.

  Has anyone the details on this. I have seen so much I dont keep links anymore.

  But asking folks to actually lie? Diabolical.

  i was talking to my sister in law the other day about death, and i mentioned something about the afterlife, i don’t remember what i said but it was nothing shocking .

  but she squealed, “we don’t believe in the afterlife!

  !” and i reasoned, well we kinda do...life after death is the after life..and she just insisted no no it’s not the same thing.

  luck. even as a figure of speech.

  and to get the attention of jw use the word separated in your convo and watch for eyes even at a distance like across the kh in my case to turn to you.

  To explain my wife had been collared by sister yakalot at the doorway of the kh so i was a seen entering 'on-my-own'. I took the opportunity and used separated and of sisters (!) close swung eyes. and another from across the hall ditto.

  Witnesses are obsessed with others marriages and a single person must be bursting with sexual desire so will be a fornication danger!

  ".......of hearing District Overseers at conventions compare taking the family to visit Bethel as the equivalent to going to Disneyland".

  This was pretty good coming from them who dont have kids and i said so at the time.

  I recall this holiday comment and hearing the big"Whuh?" that came from the audience.

  So telling that there are no little children

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watching in on my wife's zoom meeting last night, there was an item about discipline is love.

  they played a 'caleb' animated cartoon and then the instructions were 'if possible, ask selected young children' several questions.. it seems however, that there are no children in my wife's current congregation so the questions were all answered by retired brothers and sisters.

  the congregation mainly consists of elderly people (like us) and the few of childbearing age seem not interested in having children.

  Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

  by blablabluh in

  i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.

  i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.

  anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

  Do You Still Easily Believe Everything?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.

  even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.

  now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?

  Where there any cases where members should not have been at the meeting but still managed to attend?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. experiences

  no matter if you are tired, sick, worked late, trudging through heavy snow, or any other reason, you were never to miss the meetings.

  missing meetings is frowned upon.. i once went to a 2 day assembly with 2 wisdom teeth pulled the day before.

  my gums were still bleeding.
