However, when elders learn that a publisher has granted such an interview, they should immediately inform PID. The PID will then lovingly arrange for three local eldurrs to "interview" the publisher after which they will also lovingly announce that "Rank and File Publisher is no longer one of Gee-HO'-vuh's Witnesses." at the next mid-week meeting.

GB Letter To Elders In Response To Oxygen Series
by thedepressedsoul inthis letter was put out right when the series aired.
seems they have "disfellowshipped" reporters pretty much in the eyes of their followers.
public information desk: as of july 1, 2019, a public information desk (pid) was established to handle communication with news media, academic institutions, and government agencies.

Much better off. Stocks did take a big hit over the last couple days, but over the long term they are much higher now than they were even six or eight months ago, even after the current downturn.

Take precautions to help them - carelessness or selfishness can cost lives.
But wouldn't that be a waste of time? After all they are all going to die a horrible, fiery, hailstone, earthquake caused death "soon" anyway.
Oh crap! Someone slap the s--t out of me. I slipped into JDumdum thought process for just a second.

I have about a two month supply of dried or otherwise non-perishable food-stuffs stored. I also have a good supply of military grade water purification tablets. I have stockpiled ammunition for each of my legal firearms in a supply that IF it were ever needed would not run out quickly. One can never tell what leftist nutters may do when they cannot get their $6.00 latte. I have enough wood for heating and cooking to last several months, and enough old style oil lanterns and fuel for them that I will not be left totally in the dark.
I guess according to the U.S. Department of Homeland (IN)Security the that makes me a domestic extremist.
An 18-year veteran in law enforcement, James Wesley Rawles, an 18-year veteran in law enforcement warned to beware of Homeland Security training that is being pushed to local law enforcement.
Rawles writes that people engaged in the following activities may be considered "extremists" or "militia groups". Expressions of libertarian philosophies. Second Amendment-oriented views (NRA or gun club membership, holding a CCW permit). Survivalist literature. Self-sufficiency (stockpiling food, ammo, hand tools, medical supplies). Fear of economic collapse (buying gold and barter items). Homeschooling. Declarations of Constitutional rights and civil liberties.
I think I will go crack open a couple Coronas.

Coronavirus Precautions taken by Congregations in Italy
by TakeOffTheCrown ini was wondering how the congregations will handle the outbreak of the coronavirus in their countries.
especially, at meetings and going out in field service.. https://jwtalk.net/topic/43737-the-mysterious-coronavirus-spreading-worldwide/page/26/.
someone who lives in italy said: "i live in italy and meeting in some cities are suspended... bethel sent all the congregations in italy a letter suggesting us to avoid hugs, kisses, handshakes and other advice... ".

And of course another typical head in the sand J-Dumdum response:
If it were to affect Jehovah's people we can be sure the GB would have warned us or will make some kind of comment on it. So let's just wait.
Damn good thing that woman's house isn't on fire. She would die in a blaze waiting for Jehovah and her precious GB to tell her to get out!

I wonder if the jack-ass that made this comment over there on J-Dumdum Talk realizes exactly how close to actual fact they are?
Yes, that is what centrally commanded communism is all about. Things get done very quickly. No fuss about public opinion. We will most likely have something similar in the New World.

Do Any Of You Still Think Trump Was Working With The Russians?
by minimus init seems some people still maintain that trump will try to get help from the russians “again”..
-

FedUpJW
That the Russians were able to hack media that influence public opinion in regards to voting.
And yet the left continues to blather on about how Hildebeest won the popular vote. So if she did, whose benefit did the Russians work for?

Unwritten, congregational 'rules'
by Thetruthhurts inwhat were some of yours?
the big one in our hall was no frontal hugs!
these were generally thought of as inappropriate, only side hugs should be given between sisters and brothers.

I never once saw anybody vote against a resolution.
This was my "go to" way of letting them know I was not going to dance to their tune any longer. EVERY resolution that came up was one that I voted "NO" on. The account servant forgot the file on the library table one mid-week night and I managed to get my hands on a number of resolutions that had only a notation of In Favor: ALL at the bottom and I photocopied them. When I was finally called aside and questioned about my continuing "NO" votes I pulled them out and asked, "Why was my vote not recorded properly? Not everyone was in favor. I WASN'T! And furthermore written direction from New York is that ONLY baptized publishers votes count. So why is there no record of the number of BAPTIZED persons in attendance who voted? This resolution is not worth the paper it is printed on, and THAT is why I do and will always vote "NO" on EVERY resolution from now on!"
