so i showed one of my older uncles the link on jw.org.. https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/the-governing-body-announces-that-some-in-person-meetings-will-resume-in-select-areas/.
keep in mind that this is one of the relatives that is a true believer and used every excuse you can think of for the cancellation of all kingdom hall meetings.
and he also used every scriptural argument you can make up to justify the end of the door to door ministry.
The Body of elders should VERIFY, that ONLY FULLY VACCINATED PUBLISHERS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE MEETINGS AT THE KINGDOM HALL.
Interested Persons, Bible Studies should not be invited to attend Kingdom Hall.
Vaccinated Children should not be invited to attend in person meetings at Kingdom hall
So this is really another way of saying;
ZOOM FOR TWO MORE YEARS!

He is the one who has belittled my other relatives who have said they are not going back when the KHs open up again.
Now I show him the link above and he had a fit.
He started saying all kinds of stuff. "IT'S TO EARLY,---- DO THEY WANT US TO DIE, ---I'M TO OLD TO GO BACK"
Have any of you told your relatives?
I think many will put on the smile
But I think most of them are not going to be to happy about it.
Would you be happy returning to the routine of getting ready for the meeting, getting in the car at night, when it's cold, driving to the KH, entering the KH and sitting down for the next two hours,
listening to the same thing before Covid----"The end is near"
Driving back home and getting ready for bed.
And doing this twice a week for the rest of your life.
well, i finally found him on facebook!.
his name is tollie padgett.
he was my congregation overseer (before the "elder" changeover) when i was in prison in seagoville in the late 60's.. i've been searching for him for years and years.
Hey Terry, why don't you contact the person who told you this and see what he found out?
He was a very prominent brother and everyone in the circuit > knew of him. I heard a few of his talks and introduce myself to him and then for > no apparent reason he just stopped. All kinds of talk roamed throughout the city > of El Paso that he was losing it, spiritually weak, apostate, mental sickness, >, etc. Here was a brother who went to Gilead then not long after dropped out. No > one understood
To me it looks like he became a POMO
pilot program for in-person meetings to resume, to be launched in hong kong in nov. 2021. only fully vaccinated publishers are to be invited.
it's going to be a fader's paradise.. https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/q9e9pg/and_so_it_begins/?%24deep_link=true&correlation_id=fb861c4a-8c7e-4bad-b1e3-4c86b3254daf&post_fullname=t3_q9e9pg&post_index=1&ref=email_digest&ref_campaign=email_digest&ref_source=email&utm_content=post_title&%243p=e_as&_branch_match_id=936859150293933406&utm_medium=email%20amazon%20ses.
It seems to me that little by little it's getting easier and easier for them to envision their lives without the JW's.
This is what's happening right before our eyes and we have to understand the implications of what this means.
The Watchtower religion is like an animal that has been shot but is still alive whimpering, and gasping its last breaths. It's getting up but falling down again as it tries to shake off the fatal bullet blow,----- but it can't.
9 new ‘vaccine billionaires’ amass combined net worth of $19.3 billion during pandemic.
the author of the report, people’s vaccine alliance, said the pharmaceutical industry’s monopoly on covid vaccines has generated a massive increase in wealth for a handful of people.. in addition to the nine new “vaccine billionaires,” the coalition of health and humanitarian organizations, world leaders and economists said “eight existing billionaires — who have extensive portfolios in the covid-19 vaccine pharma corporations — have seen their combined wealth increase by $32.2 billion.”.
anna marriott, health policy manager at oxfam, a member of the people’s vaccine alliance, said:.
The author of the report, People’s Vaccine Alliance, said the pharmaceutical industry’s monopoly on COVID vaccines has generated a massive increase in wealth for a handful of people.
In addition to the nine new “vaccine billionaires,” the coalition of health and humanitarian organizations, world leaders and economists said “eight existing billionaires — who have extensive portfolios in the COVID-19 vaccine pharma corporations — have seen their combined wealth increase by $32.2 billion.”
Anna Marriott, health policy manager at Oxfam, a member of the People’s Vaccine Alliance, said:
“These billionaires are the human face of the huge profits many pharmaceutical corporations are making from the monopoly they hold on these vaccines. These vaccines were funded by public money and should be first and foremost a global public good, not a private profit opportunity.”
The coalition’s list of new vaccine billionaires includes four tycoons who profited off U.S. vaccine maker Moderna, the CEO of BioNTech and three co-founders of the Chinese vaccine company, CanSino Biologics.
The nine billionaires, in order of their net worth are:
The eight existing billionaires whose wealth soared during the pandemic include investors with stock in pharma companies that hold a monopoly on COVID vaccines.
The list includes Indian billionaire Pankaj Patel, chairman of Cadila Healthcare, a pharma company that makes drugs such as Remdesivir to treat COVID and has a vaccine undergoing clinical trials.
Also on the list is Patrick Soon-Shiong, a medical doctor whose COVID vaccine, ImmunityBio, was selected by the U.S. government’s “Operation Warp Speed,” a program to accelerate the rollout of COVID vaccines.
The new vaccine billionaires join the ranks of other ultra-rich elite, who also profited off the pandemic. They include Tesla’s Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin — all of whom made Forbes’ top 10 Big Billionaire Gains list, adding a “collective $488 billion to their fortunes since the beginning of 2020.”

RB Next you will only be allowed to eat with a spoon.
- We all know what the real problem is.
The spoon!!

Terry; I spoke last night to one of the Brothers who spoke to Tollie's widow, Carol.
He revealed to me that she said that for the last decade of his life he was having mental problems and his "apostasy" period was caused by health issues.
So that person that said;
He was a very prominent brother and everyone in the circuit > knew of him. I heard a few of his talks and introduce myself to him and then for > no apparent reason he just stopped. All kinds of talk roamed throughout the city > of El Paso that he was losing it, spiritually weak, apostate, mental sickness,
Was RIGHT ON!
Well this sucks for you, but maybe not when you think about it,----because it seems that when you contacted Tollie, ------he was full blown APOSTATE.
I think what happened is he was protecting himself from being revealed. When a person learns TTATT, he usually goes through a serious of stages. The final stage if he has wife, kids, family, is to fade without making waves so as not to lose his family.
I bet you everything, Tolli was a full blown apostate. He wasn't sick or have mental illness.
He was smart and finally figured out everything. 607 vs 587, Generation teaching---the whole thing.
That's what happens when someone who goes to Gilead and becomes a missionary-THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN QUITS.
I read these kinds of experiences all the time on Reddit exjw.
In fact I read one of a CO who woke up and his related experience matches Tollie's perfectly.
He just quit and disappeared. Everyone was saying he was mentally sick.
But he was posting on Exjw reddit and telling us all his stories as a CO.
So it seems your friend was -an undercover APOSTATE.
And it makes sense because if I was Tollie, and became a missionary, and a very prominent elder---I would do the same thing. And if a long time friend called me out of the blue, on the phone or email and said what you said, I would not reveal myself to you considering my wanting to stay faded to my family. I just wouldn't risk it by revealing myself to you.
So now you know the whole story.
Smart, Clever Tollie-----HAD WOKEN UP TO THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH.
so now will the snowflake idiots on the left want to ban archery?.

Did someone say Eugenics!
i just heard this story from one of my relatives.
i'm leaving a lot of things out.. a jw couple had three kids and raised them in the religion.
the oldest one got disfellowshipped at 18 years of age because he committed fornication with a jw girl.
I just heard this story from one of my relatives. I'm leaving a lot of things out.
A jw couple had three kids and raised them in the religion. The oldest one got disfellowshipped at 18 years of age because he committed fornication with a JW girl. The Jw girl then proceeded to run off with an older jw boy which in turn, broke the heart of the 18 year old jw boy.
So the 18 year old son of the jw couple now went into a deep depression because he was in love with the jw girl who ran off with an older jw boy---------and he was disfellowshipped on top of that.
Imagine a young 18 year old kid with no life experience going through his first heartbreak and getting disfellowshipped for it.
Now imagine a knock on the door. The elders appear for a shepherding call. A call to remind the parents, that their 18 year old son who was now disfellowshipped and a legal adult, was now a spiritual danger to the rest of the family, that is the two other children.
So the parents told their son that it would be better if he moved out because he was a danger to the family and he would be welcomed back when he returned to Jehovah.
An 18 year old kid raised in a jw home, with no experience on making a living and no direction on what he needs to do for shelter, food, and just plain survival.
The kid was having a difficult time finding a place to stay and food to eat on a daily basis. So an opportunity came up out of State and he moved.
In time he was able to get a nice place to live and was able to eat regularly. He also met a girl who was not a Jehovah witness, fell in love and got married.
Throughout this time he tried to touch bases with his parents, He was finally happy and He wanted to introduce his wife to his parents. He had gone through this ordeal with no help from jw family and friends because he was SHUNNED but he was willing to let that pass. All he wanted at this point was to talk to his PARENTS.
But his parents told him that there was to be no contact since he had not returned to Jehovah. And they reminded him of how much he made Jehovah Sad because he married a worldly woman. They told him those marriages NEVER LAST.
Until you return to Jehovah, PLEASE DON’T CONTACT US!
His wife did not understand. Why were they also treating her this way. She started learning about the Jehovah’s Witnesses from her husband.
The years went by and he bought a house. Then they had a child. At this point, someone told the parents that their son had a baby boy.
The parents mailed him a BIBLE STORIES BOOK.
The parents got no reply so they decided to visit their son after some YEARS. They show up at the son’s home without giving him a heads up.
They wanted to see their grandchild. The son went ahead and invited them in. They fell in love with the grandchild.
The last day of the visit they told their son that NOW IS THE TIME TO COME BACK TO JEHOVAH, because their baby’s life was now at stake. But they still reaffirm to their son that there should be NO CONTACT IN ANY FORM BY HIM BECAUSE HE WAS STILL DISFELLOWSHIPPED.
A couple of years pass and the only thing the grand-parents sent to their grandson was WATCHTOWER LITERATURE.
After a while the disfellowshipped son and his wife had another Child, and then another. The parents started sending more literature and more WARNINGS to their son that TIME IS GETTING SHORT, RETURN TO JEHOVAH.
Finally the son sent a letter to his parents, telling them to stop sending Watchtower literature. He tells them that he has thrown every single piece of literature that they’ve sent to his children. He explains to them that he and his wife have taught their children how HATEFUL and HARMFUL the Watchtower religion is. He tells them how the Religion has cause Ordinary Parents to become so hateful that they have shunned their child for years, never being there to help when help was needed by their son their own flesh and blood.
50 years and a few months go by since the 18 year jw kid was disfellowshipped and shunned by his parents. At 68 years of age, this boy who was now an elderly man, was happily married to the same women he met at 18 and later married her, the same man who raised 3 beautiful kids who turned out to be the kindest, most level head, successful adults.
That 18 year old disfellowshipped kid whose jw parents shunned for decades, unfortunately died in an accident.
His parents now in their early 90s were still alive and still waiting for THE END JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Their other two kids had already passed, one died in an accident still in her teens while disfellowshipped, the other died of cancer in her 30s while disfellowshipped also.
Now their last son------their firstborn-----was GONE!
And he turned out to be an exceptional human being. No thanks to his parents who disowned him for a simple mistake of falling in love at the age of 18.
He became very wealthy. But that's not the real Success of this man.
Parents found out that he helped the homeless, funded animal shelters, contributed a lot of money to Children’s Shriners Hospital.
And all his kids now follow his example.
And here is the kicker.
His parents found out their son had died---------TWO YEARS AGO!
Because they had told him that there should be no contact, UNTIL HE RETURNS TO JEHOVAH – Organization!

I ride my bike instead of driving a car.
Every time the price of gasoline goes up - I smile bigger.
I took the Stimulus check and bought an electric bicycle.
