  Curious to know the Zoom attendance figures for for the memorial

  by joe134cd in

  i’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.

  my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.

  i was sort of surprised at this considering the quarantine measures and everyone being forced to stay at home.

  Wonder if there will be a big increase in the number of partakers as we are in the last of the last of the last days (not sure if I missed a last)

  Could anybody in the world non JW`s zoom in to the Memorial ?

  by smiddy3 in

  why i ask this is because the night before the memorial we had a phone call from a longtime friend who obviously is still indoctrinated ,to encourage us to log onto jw.org and view the proceedings ?.

  she made a big deal about how this has never happened before and that even non jw`s could watch it .. she was going to ring us up on the night to help us log in if we had any problems or whatever .. this friend is a bit eccentric to say the least and speaks against the elders at times ,sometimes i even wondered whether she was df or not ?

  so this ph.call surprised me somewhat ,and the wife`s attitude is she`s happy just let her be and don`t rock the boat ,she is about our age so just let her be ,we have had a lot of history with her and she still talks to us despite what the religion says.. but when the memorial was about to start no phone call and we haven`t heard from her since ?

  You have to be invited to join zoom and given a password/code to join.

  On JW.org if you login to that there's a 2020 memorial talk.

  just had a whatsapp from a uber relative that the memorial will be shown on the only controlled government tv station in zimbabwe because the bro's can't afford to stream or use zoom because of the price of data so millions on lockdown having to watch or listen to the memorial in their homes.

  .

  they finnish off by saying jehovah has everything under control.. population of zimbabwe is about 14million.. bet they will still ask for money?.

  Remember the Revelation book?

  by wozza in

  i recall when it was released ,that's when i was a drone, how excited i felt at the prospect of reading it and formulating ways to sell it at the homes in my area.. i thought, finally a book to explain the last book in the bible and indeed one that the churches seemed to want to leave alone!.

  i sold quite a few probably because of my enthusiasm and can still remember clearly the first day when i went knocking on doors with it ,and it's been decades since.. but over time it lost it's shine and my mind started to question the explanations in it due to the scene of other things being changed in the jw beliefs.. do you remember they flogged that book so many times in the book studies even when it was found to have "newer light " eclipsing it!.

  who else remembers the printed pages with the official corrections to insert into the book ,so many that the book collapsed to be of no relevance anymore really.....what an embarrassment!.

  We had a book study conductor who didn't really prepare for the study so I would correct him during the group with the updates after a few weeks I got a shepherding call and given a finger wagging for making him look bad in front of his group.he later went on to be the po.

  I remember as a child the babylon the great book,

  There was also a book that delt with Ezekiel .

  Today’s nauseating WT

  by Slidin Fast in

  i am sitting at home, trying not to barf as this wt paragraph by paragraph tries to character assassinate those who have the temerity to take the emblems.

  the unwritten, unspoken subtext is that they, the gb, the now distinct and separate “slave” are above all this.

  they, the gold standard are immune to this questioning.

  According to the letter April 1 st 2020 is that gongs can meet together and enjoy the program , so depending on your Cong you might have to sit in a stuffy hall and be bored to tears.

  Do you have any evidence that the GB had bad intent?

  by AlainAlam in

  do you have any evidence that the gb had bad intent?

  as opposed to blind faith/cognitive dissonance and honest mistakes.. i'm inclined to think they have the best of intentions and are just wrong (primarily because the bible is wrong), but i'm willing to consider the evidence otherwise..

  the bbc isn't even covering this story - it's merely publishing the front page of a newspaper which is!

  The instructions are if you have a reasonable excuse ,to visit a 2nd home is not .

  She could have had a accident and then put a strain on the emergency services NHS etc.

  She could make a sizable donation to NHS from her sizable salary (if she can afford a second home,)

  She could have asked the local police to check that her home was ok .
