What would happen if the Watchtower decided no more meeting at Kingdom Halls, only Zoom?
by pistolpete ini’m seeing my hard core believing relatives slowly losing faith that the watchtower is the organization that “god” is using to represent him on earth.. just about all the churches in their area have opened up.. but not the watchtower.. this is having an affect on the faith of even the old timers.
now the only ones who are still holding the faith are the female jws and only those past 70 years of age.
even my old male jw relative past 70 are starting to say that it can’t be jehovah’s organization because the other churches are all open and god supposed organization who is supposed to preach the warning message is still closed with no open in sight.

"the 80+ year old I talked about never had children, I assume because of believing all the JW hype thru the years and 10 years ago his pioneer wife was killed in a car crash by a drunk driver."
My pimi mother was at a Rutherford Convention that released the Children's Book that discouraged marriage or children. Perhaps these stories told could give me hope that she COULD change her condemnatory attitude and shunning for me. It would be nice to have "Mom" back but I'm not getting my hopes up. I've considered the "what if's" but there is not a lot to talk about with her other than my secular work.
I don't think the present GB has the hunger, creativity, talent, imagination, or know-how to navigate the present or future of the organization that has existed in years prior by Russell, Rutherford, Franz, or Knorr. The GB 2.1 should have sacrificed/"character assassinated" one GB for the Child Sexual Abuse worldwide and put all the sins on that one sacrificial lamb/goat and delivered it to Jehovah as the "scapegoat". Proclaimed that there was an apostate in their midst who was a pedophile, but now they have "cleaned the spiritual temple" and Jehovah will bless them as never before. Then, just watch the money roll in! (It happened in the 1979 purge)
One of the tools that the organization had working well is that they kept people busy enough that they couldn't think about the "why are we doing this"? or have discussions that were not narrated by WT paragraphs and questions to divert and channel thinking. In the last two years the common publishers have had a lot of time alone and in small groups to drink coffee/whisky and talk. I remember one CO's saying that the "Society" didn't recommend that individuals move away from their "families in the truth" because many times the younger couple wouldn't come back to the KH. The WTBTS leaders have the numbers in front of them of what they will lose in publishers and financial support and I believe they are willing to adjust to a smaller "great crowd" that they can control and is not such a financial burden.
Look, they have been setting up publisher's wills and trusts for 140 years, they hobnob with the elite trusts and hedge funds and financially, the crazy-wack-o "Governing Body" doesn't take care of the financial means of the organization they only have a decisive influence over the "spiritual" food. The real "corporation" is a money-making machine and it is obviously run it to make money by the President/Board of Directors. The GB can bash the governments for trying to get back to normal because their "interest is in their own financial means and taxes". lol, like the WTBTS is not. No, WTBTS is interested in the bottom line, but they have some cushion and realize it and are willing to lose some baggage and cargo for the ship to roll on for another 100 years with a smaller kingdom of great crowd supporters.

Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?
by minimus inlooting is happening everywhere like never before.
brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.
popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

The looting is part of the "Equity" program of the liberal democrats. The democrat socialist machine is a money-eating machine and when the money runs out the wheels of the democratic ideals start to come off. (Newt Gingrich)

I would say Biden Harris is the most incompetent administration I've seen in my life. The promised Unity, transparency, and dignity were a big lie. Biden's elevator doesn't go to the top and Harris has no clue what to do. Their Trump derangement syndrome has made them reverse as much as they could of Trump just for spite even if it worked. The drug cartel and human trafficking are making the cartel tens of millions of dollars off of Biden's incompetent policies. The democrats don't care about kids in cages they don't care about anyone but themselves and their hatred for Trump. They've turned the border control agents into babysitters while drugs and "got aways" criminals flow into the USA. The democrat machine eats money like cotton candy and when the money runs out the wheels start falling off their supposed self-appointed "mandated mission." I don't have a problem with electric cars but the environmentalist don't want to mine any metals here in the USA. China already has control of many of the mines so that makes us dependent on China. Joe Biden canceled the Keystone pipeline but they support a Russian pipeline that most European nations don't want.

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?
by Rocketman123 inmany that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Jesus, after his resurrection to heaven, waited til his enemies were placed at his feet in 1914 to become King. However, once enthroned "War broke out in Heaven" in 1914 and he hurled Satan and his demons down to the "Vacinity" of the earth. -

Letter asking for RV’s
by wasser30 inhello, my elder cousin from brazil wouldn’t believe they asked for rv’s here in the us.
i’ve been out for 20 years and i’m soft shunned by my family.
now my mom got sick and they are all trying to talk me into going back(no way on earth) and they keep on telling me how close armageddon is 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ i was watching kim and mikey and they mentioned the rv’s for lodging the ramapo workers.

Cars for KIds advertise all the time on news radio programs. You donate your car and get a tax deduction for a charitable donation. Somehow, RV's for Bethelite temporary workers doesn't have the same jingle as the Cars for Kids song. In the past, the sheep donated all sorts of junk. Thought was they can fix the old clunker in the Bethel garage with free labor.

Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?
by blablabluh ini’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.

John Kerry says humans only have 12 years before all humanity dies from the global climate crisis. A member from another cult.

Hoser, I believe the photograph is not clear whether the sister's jeans are "blue jeans" or not. It would be a judgment call. However, certainly, the jeans she is wearing are not the popular jeans as shown.

Do YOU Think Biden Actually Won As President?

Well, anyway you view it, the USA is on the road to Marxist/Socialist Hell hole like the recent descent of Venezuela. Anything Biden and Company can do to make the USA weak they have done it. Rebuild Gaza, give millions of dollars to Iran to fund Terrorist organizations like Hamas that bombs Israel, turn on Israel, open the U.S. borders, reinstate catch and release, well hell, just release, No, "just don't even stop them" policy, let them all come in with their fentanyl, cocaine and other drugs to kill Americans; give American pharmaceutical patents of Covid 19 Vaccination to China, stop American pipelines that are 99% complete but authorize and remove sanctions on Russian Pipeline to Germany? You can't make this shit up! I thought Obama was bad in eight years, but Biden/Harris has outperformed the previous Manchurian candidate incompetence by far within 100 days.
