Inactive after 6 months: where is it written?

by psyco in

i cannot find written anywhere that after 6 months without preaching activities reported you are considered an inactive jw.. where is this written?

or is it a non-written rule?.

thanks..

FedUpJW

Even so, inactive ones are still our brothers and sisters, and we love them.

I never cease to be amazed how openly they can lie with a straight face!

The Watchtower—Study Edition | February 2022 Trust in Jehovah ...We really meant ''the Governing Body''

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | february 2022. study article 6. do you trust in jehovah’s way of doing things?.

15 as the end of this system of things draws near, we need to trust in jehovah’s way of doing things as never before.

during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical.

FedUpJW

Likely? Might? May? Sounds an awful lot like people who in reality are know nothings trying to impress the gullible with what they [think they] know.

Back to the Meetings------Back to Covid.

by pistolpete in

a lot of pimos are reporting that returning to the meetings is backfiring in that covid is spreading among the members returning.. post;.

so last saturday was my first meeting back in person and well it completely backfired.

last night i got a text from my group overseer saying that someone in the hall tested positive for covid and that we need to get tested(great 🎉).. honestly i kinda expected this.

FedUpJW

why have so many brothers have died from covid?

At the start of the COVID scamdemic one of t he governing body tubbies claimed that following all of their mandates was the same as listening to God himself, and that would protect JW's from the effects of the COVID. Their implication was that only unfaithful ones would die.

Of course they were blowing air out their . . .

Disfellowshipping

by jhine in

so last night my bible study group was discussing the healing of the blind man in john's gospel.

ch 9 .

the man's parents were reluctant to say much on the subject.

FedUpJW

the burning desire to be with them became one motivating factor in his restoring his ~~relationship~~ membership with ~~Jehovah~~ W.T.B.&T.$

There are so many things wrong with that statement I cannot even begin to list them.

2022-April-Elder Manual and Addendum--12 Files!

by Atlantis in

jw
friends

several files in the folder including:.

2022-april-elders manual.. 2022 april addendum.

working together safely12 files total.

FedUpJW

Thank you for these files.

I notice that the governing body in their April 2022 addendum to the Shepherd The Flock Book says, "Under these circumstances, it is wise to refrain from defending your faith."

Yet the Bible that they profess to follow, and claim is the inspired words of Jehovah God Himself says, "15 But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have."

What they tell the eldurrs is in direct opposition to the Bible. Why am I not surprised? What is the biblical penalty for obeying men rather than God?

so apparently robert hendricks the spin doctor of the wt society has been proudly telling news channels how wonderful the wt org has been during the 2 years of the pandemic, checking in with each and every member to meet their needs on a weekly basis.. except, based on the comments of former jw friends on facebook, it's news to most of them since they are screaming out that they were totally neglected by the elders/ms throughout most of that period.

a couple even said that because of being ignored by the congregation during this time, that they have walked away completely.

FedUpJW

WT may eventually be approached for some sort of compensation by vaccine injured JWs that felt undue influence from WT to accept the experimental injections.

I for one certainly hope so! In my area I personally know of nearly one dozen people who have either had severe health issues that were initially listed as potential side effects of the jab or outright died because of side effects which were listed in the beginning of the COVID jab hysteria. All of them JW's who were obeying The Slave.

Yet, believe it or not , JWs were told that these government-sponsored gift boxes were evidence of Jehovah taking care of them.

Kind of like this email I received less than two months ago (sent to the entire contacts list of an eldurr):

"You can follow the link in the email and order 4 free COVID home test kits. It is nice to know that The Slave is always watching out for us. While it is a decision that each family head should make please remember that this is another way we can show our respect for life, and our obedience to The Slave."

I wonder what the government had to do with this? I was able to get the same exact home test kits across the counter at the local pharmacy, and was told to feel free to take as many as I wanted. I also got a "visit" from another local eldurr last night informing me that, "We have been permitted by the governing body and The Branch to resume in person meetings at the kingdom hall just in time for the memorial and special talk. I am sure YOU will want to be there!" Then I was reminded of the mask mandate, the distancing mandate, and the other rules for anyone to be there in person and I told him that if it was still that dangerous to be there then I would decline to attend. His reply? "All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

In 2 years my neighbor had no JW visitors. She was alone and very depressed. She felt neglected and abandoned. So much for love amongst themselves.

I've quoted my father many times, here and elsewhere, when he said shortly before he died, "Jehovah's Witnesses these days have "love" on their lips, but NONE in their hearts!" Both he and my mother were ignored, made fun of and kicked to the curb after decades of Christlike actions towards others, just because they were old, and one suffered from Alzheimer's.

by Iamallcool in

friends

first of all… i am ok. i was robbed at the gas station this morning.

after my hands stopped trembling, i managed to call the police.

they were quick to respond and calmed me down, but all my money is gone.

What you are hearing from anti-oil, pro green new deal lobbyists and leftist political pundits is a mix of half truths and distortions.

Vid obsession

by punkofnice in

i'm interested in your thoughts.. the media tells us a lot of agenda driven propaganda.

you're hard pressed to spot truth these days.. however, i'm told that the rona is now just a rotten flu and not the plague we were originally terrified in to believing.

last time i heard it was down in the hit parade to 16th nasty health thing.. all the people and family i know that have had the rona, have been complaining it's a very crappy flu.

FedUpJW

I read them and spent a lot of time not only explaining it to people but explaining how to use it correctly.

Good for you. A question though. If you reside in the U.S. did you also comply with this?

In the U.S., a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 1910.134 including training, fit testing and medical evaluation.

I ask because in pre-retirement employment I often was required to work in hazardous atmosphere environments where the use of N95's at a minimum was mandated. I was also required to completely read that OSHA rule. A long, mind numbing read by the way. I still do not believe the average person will either read, understand, or comply with ALL the training, fit testing requirements, or the requirement of a medical evaluation prior to using N95's. Also of note, these are by design disposable, one time use respirators.

I still maintain these are more about control of the population, and less about safety.

However, if one feels better wearing one, by all means do so. Feel free to wear two, three, or more at a time if one feels that need. Just DON'T tell me I have to do so.
