I know of a 30 year old brother that married a 16 year old from our congregation. They were dating when she was 15. No one batted an eye.
The dating pool is shallow in the jws. There is not very much selection so they don’t have a lot of choice.
There was also a 55 year old guy that married a 25 year old sister. Brothers marrying women 20 years older than them.
2022 governing body update # 6. what exciting news david splane has for all jehovah's witnesses ( who for the last three years were spared the house-to-house preaching work ) '' that we'll return to the ministry september 01, 2022. just in time for our world wide campaign to start bible studies.
and, i'm sure the angels are excited too, because it will give them opportunities to help us with our ministry.''.
not only will the witnesses be rusty in their return to the field ministry, the angels in heaven have been sitting idle while the pandemic stopped the house-to-house ministry.
I think the GB are looking for persecution to happen.
Scary shit.

what most jehovah’s witnesses don’t realize about their version of the new system is who’s gonna mow the grass?.

What most Jehovah’s witnesses don’t realize about their version of the new system is who’s gonna mow the grass?
After the system is destroyed who’s gonna make that nail your pounding with a hammer? Who’s gonna fix the roof every 30 years? Who’s gonna make that fancy glass wear and the fine clothes you’re wearing?
All of the people that you relied on for your cushy lifestyle are gone. Dead.
when i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.
We weren’t allowed as kids to have anything glow in the dark. Apparently it was in an awake magazine somewhere that it was not allowed

Watchtower are leeches on society. The gall to try and manipulate the same government they condemn to death into giving them money. Somebody worked for that money to pay the taxes so that watchtower can expropriate it.
Is the watchtower getting into daycares? Early childhood education?
a lot of my ex fellow servants must be now in their seventies, what can you do?.
no children no money no home.
it is so sad.. so many decided not to have children as the end was right around the corner and that was decades ago.
I guess I derailed the thread a bit. Yeah many jws don’t save for retirement as the big A is coming to save them.

During COVID my wife and I had a monetary gift we wanted to give to needy members of the congregation. We had asked our group overseer to take the gift and distribute it anonymously as we didn’t know who was in need and we didn’t want the recognition.
All he did was give us the phone number of a family in the congregation and said give it to them yourself.
We ended up giving it to the local food bank. I guess the publishers can go there if they are hungry.

Mike jw:
I have some worldly friends who used to volunteer on charity programs in poorer countries. They quit going because the charity they were “volunteering” for put them up in a fancy hotel and fed them expensive western meals all the while they were “building” the school. I put those words in quotations for a reason. By the time they were chauffeured in and out of the city to the job site they put about 2 hours a day on the building site. They told me themselves it’s all a big show. They asked why they can’t eat with the locals and were told the food probably wouldn’t be safe to eat.
They were so put off by the arrogant attitude of the organizers toward the people they were supposed to be helping that they never did it again and didn’t recommend it for others.

I don’t think the elders really care about helping the poor jws anyway. It cramps their style and they can’t count the time.
we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.
also dress up for zoom if you must use it.
locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.
I’m not sure where you live, but we are heading into a fall COVID wave. Masks 😷 are not as effective as they say they are and frankly I’m not going to wear one for 2 hours and I’m not willing to expose myself to the coof more than I have to.
It sounds like the leaders have figured out that many prefer zoom and it must be hurting their bottom line.
I’m sure that they will be determining spirituality based on whether you are an attendee or just a zoomer.
