  new light!

  or is it new darkness?.

  like online video conferencing and apps, apparently the faithful & discreet governing body class now bless the masses with divine dark mode.

  Is Jehovah actually Al Gore?

  Not too sure about that, but I would believe Algore might say he thought HE was god.

  this is not about stats, but "actual experiences" happening world wide in the organization.

  there is about 156 comments of what some jws are seeing in their congregation.

  feel free to read and come to your own conclusion on whether the watchtower organization is turning pimo but no one says anything in order to keep family relations.

  CO & the wife of the CO

  Don't you mean the C.O. and the C.O.W.?

  I bet the org will allow brothers to just wear a collared shirt and sisters an appropriate top.

  Just a few days ago I happened to stop by the home of a M.S. as I had some work related items to drop off. He asked if I would wait until 9:45 A.M. as he was scheduled to conduct the Zoom meeting for F.S. When he opened the door, there he stood, in a dress shirt and tie, and dirty sweat pants, and no shoes or socks.

  Love one another intensely...avoid partiality

  the watchtower—study edition | march 2020. study article 13. love one another intensely.

  if we have intense “love for the whole association of brothers,” we will avoid being partial.

  7 jesus urged us to keep treating others the way we want to be treated.

  Quite a few years ago back when "local needs" parts could be left up to the person assigned, my father (an elder in the kindest sense of the word) had the part and titled it "Community or Camaraderie". He first gave commendation to the congregation about their showing a strong sense of community, then went on to try and encourage the congregation to develop a true sense of camaraderie. Of course it fell on deaf ears, and as I have mentioned in the past my father said, "Jehovah's Witnesses have 'love' on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!"

  He did in that part use these definitions to assist in making the point more plain.

  Community: a group of people who have the same interests, religion.

  Camaraderie: mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together.

  
  

  JW's may show a sense of community but it is extremely rare that any of them show any genuine camaraderie. That is why articles like this are nothing except page filler uncastrated male bovine excrement!

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses shun non-believers and those who leave the faith?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  graeme hammond writes:.

  in his 2002 book that examined the behaviour and practices of jehovah’s witnesses, english sociologist andrew holden devoted an entire chapter to the trauma and friction experienced by those who choose to leave the jehovah’s witness religion.

  “those who do eventually break free,” he concluded, “are seldom allowed a dignified exit.”.

  Disfellowshipping as a result of a judicial committee, a shocking kangaroo court process that results in organised shunning, with even verbal greetings prohibited;

• In my case when I was DF'd the then P.O. inserted a "special" part during the then "service meeting". During those several minutes he pontificated how when a person is DF'd it is the same as when an Israelite would be stoned to death. If they were stoned to death no one could see them any longer, so a modern day DF'd person should also be considered invisible. Do not even look at that person. Sorry illegitimate son of a female dog!
