there have been a few fictional books written about jw interpretations of the future.
one brother called ek johnson has written a few jw prepper fictional books based on jw timeline of events great tribulation and all.. i love prepper fiction particularly post apocalyptic prepper fiction but not zombie fiction i’m fed up of those.
i view jw fiction the same as the rest, just like any good fiction.
I remember someone writing that sort of thing a couple of decades or so ago. It had only JWs surviving (and a few who didn't make it). Jehovah, Jesus and the glorious ones didn't actually turn up to direct things. It rapidly became Lord of the Flies, IIRC.
It may even be on here. Or wherever Armageddon Okies are archived.
a department in bethel wants to try to make money from regional conventions by asking local hotels if they will give a special rate and a coupon code to give to jws.. .
they should just keep it simple and not be greedy for dishonest gain.. .
this year some convention sites the hotels said no thank you i think the jws are going to book with us anyway.
Scully, I guess in an environment where people were encouraged to take lesser jobs for the greater good, i.e. to allow more time in field service, there would have been a lot of frugal pragmatism. Back then, conventions and assemblies were a much bigger deal and better frequented than what is being reported in recent times. So the WT would have still got decent kickbacks from the obedient "ones" booking as they were told.
I doubt that that dynamic exists anymore. The big out of town meetings aren't attended like they were, there're plenty of PIMOs who will do the bare minimum, JWs in general are just tired and disillusioned. If ever there was a graph over time showing JWs who book through approved channels versus those who make their own arrangements, it would be most interesting to see how much things have changed.
luke 22:14 so when the hour came, he reclined at the table along with the apostles.
and he said to them: “i have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer; 16 for i tell you, i will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of god.” 17 and accepting a cup, he gave thanks and said: “take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves, 18 for i tell you, from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.”.
19 also, he took a loaf, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “this means my body, which is to be given in your behalf.
Ah yes, "the most important day of the year". The day you watch the fellowship meal get whisked past you because it is denied to you by your spiritual betters!
there is going to be a hole new system of blood cards this march .
the congregation won’t hold any information as they did before from march it will be all put on the pub.
i think it’s to do with vaccines and they are worried now they got everyone vaxed and they want to distance themselves from medical responsibilities and say own personal decisions.
Just came across this thread. Let me get this straight: they want you to lodge a digital blood declaration so that you can't "accidentally" lose your blood card?
Bottom line: they want you to die! 😱😡🤬
There are not enough bad words in the English language to properly express my contempt and disdain for that #@&*€% GB! 🤬😡😤😠
fyi, i posted this prediction on my facebook page last night and it has received 224 likes and there have been 83 comments made.
many of the comments are hilarious.. .
a beard prediction for 2024:.
Foolednomore: " I can't wait till ZZ Top comes to my door."
Do you think that their pink '33 Ford Coupe would be approved for field service?
the gb seems to have a bunker mentality, that they are special, and that the world is out to get them, so they tend to keep within their tightly controlled, protective environment.
bottlegate proved that there is some danger outside of the rarified atmosphere of their echo chamber; you never know when a camera might be trained on you, or that someone might recognise you as being something more than plain old "joe citizen".
further, tm3's new address was quickly found and distributed, and (as i understand it) someone drove to his gated community to tell the security guard that tm3's "ass is grass".
Same place. Maybe the correct term is HOA. Supposedly this Selena person drove up to someone, somewhere and made the "his ass is grass" statement:

Again "as I understand it". And plenty of people have been saying that the GB should have moved him into a gated community. I just assumed they had in the first place.
HOAs and gated communities aren't much of a thing here.
Sorry if I gave a wrong impression.
Let's go back to the original post with "people know his new address, and many are trying to find out more".
To be quite frank, I would rather not accurately know Tony's living situation, because I don't want to be a party to anything untoward happening to him due to the dissemination of that information. The last thing we want is vigilantes hunting him down for past evil, real or imagined.
What's the official position on a full Brazilian? 🤔
But seriously, do you think that that has ever come up in a GB meeting? 😱
It's not entirely implausible; after all, this is a group that believe that uninvolved parties have the right to ask who did what to whom, and how, in the privacy of the bedroom. 🙄
will it be resurrected after the norway trial?.
.
guess which country/continent is missing?.
Time for the Australian government to consider banning the bastards again!

ElderBerry, the watchdog is rapidly losing its teeth.
future gb: "please come back!
all is forgiven!".
would it work?
When I quote them saying "All is forgiven!", I'm not suggesting that the disfellowshipped actually need to be forgiven for anything. It's just channeling those entitled parents who estrange their kids and then want them to come back. "All is forgiven!" was what is now known as a meme, back in the day.
