don't understand....but this crisis in ukraine seems to be getting out of control....i mean, everybody knows how to start a war..... by the way, as always, people at the borg are having a field day.....
Ukraine is using the long range missile system ATACMS for first time yesterday....Russia fuming as usually....things could turn nasty really fast... they're not gonna let this red line without consequences this time.
Somebody say first world war was in Europe, second world war too....and if they are dumb enough....the third too.
Borg jumping up and down, I guess.
i wasn't surprised they didn't go online, i was shocked.
the perfect opportunity handed in a silver plate.
more time goes, more proof coming they took wrong decision going back to hall's.
They're gonna be full online, remember 'big changes are expected '....
I guess the only presential meetings are going to be the Assemblies....just three times a year.
an old elder friend from out of town stopped to see my ailing wife.
more than the locals do.
he said elder school emphasized 2 years and the existing body will be the leaders through persecution and tribulation.
That's the problem with olders elders speculation....one told me one time 'Babylon the Great' could even be the financial system, Wall Street !!!
I think he's a disfellowship guy now
realistically, between now and 2034, what do you think watchtower will change or reform to appear more mainstream?
what business opportunities do you see watchtower getting involved in?.
my predictions are as follows: .
Prediction?
It's gonna be just weekly meeting on any weekday... ruining weekends shouldn't be tolerated...
Also socializing gonna be encouraged....like 45 min. before the meeting starts. of course expect them to be a lot more mainstream
just a moment ago irán started to attack israel, guess they're gonna end in ruins because israel has a way better army than other country in the region and the support of the us....hope the gas prices don't increase too much.... wonder how the borg gonna spin it..
Right now....Israel attacks Iran....developing..... yawn
... is just three weeks from this saturday.
the org has been tight-lipped, really, successfully secret about advance info on these in recent years,.
now that these relatively recent changes on dress and grooming, reporting fs time, judicial matters, etc.
What about 'a new lovable provision'.?. Exciting news !!!
We're gonna be totally online, so each congregation should make arrangements, aka get a printer and ink, if you guys want a physical copy...
That's gonna allow to save a ton of money !!!

Incredibile that I started this thread two years ago and things in Ukraine are more or less the same ..
Anyway the US and the UK are suggesting to allow Ukraine to use long range missiles against Russia....Putin is saying that if that happens it would "direct involve the US and allies in the conflict"...
Russia has allowed so many red lines to be crossed that the words of the late Sen. Mcain are becoming the truth "Russia is a gas station disguised as a country"
not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.
) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".
but........bible students/jw's have been spouting this fake message since the 19th century!!!!!!.
Apocalypticism?
Remember that people need always to be engaged in something mysterious , there's for everyone in sitcoms, youtubers, conspiracy theories of any kind....have you heard about 'climate change' and how everything gonna be destroyed?

if they were spied upon and it was reported to the elders they’d be “invited” to a judicial committee whereupon they’d be cross examined in a locked backroom by three men acting as judge and jury to decide if they are guilty.. .
if the elders decide that they are guilty, they’ll then decide if the person is sorry.
They're gonna go back to Xmas, rather sooner than later....
There's like scriptural base when you read it in the Bible, the angels chorus...the rejoicing, etc
They could spin it by focusing on Jesus, not Santa as nowadays. For example, what a glorious opportunity to give testimony!
People just walk away from studies when they learn about Xmas and birthdays.
However, don't give them ideas.
i have been following a number of posts discussing the august watchtower study magazine.
i really don't believe this common idea being passed around that it's being timed for the annual meeting.
here's why.. the august watchtower will be available on servers not long before its public release.
Well, remember that an announcement said: "If the issue of August 2024 it's not yet ready for when is time for study it....congs. would receive further instructions" .
So it's kind of baffling, at least....
