Last I heard through the rumor pipeline is that no meetings or convention/assemblies through the end of 2022. Cannot verify that though.

Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?
by eyeslice ini've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.

So IF an individual declines the COVID jab out of concern for potential unknown future side-effects will they be branded as engaging in "brazen conduct" for allegedly defying the secular authorities? Will the elders (I imagine they will) use this an a club over the heads of persons making an informed PERSONAL choice to decline the jab to try to force them to submit? Will the elders and the WT popes accept legal liability for the future health of anyone who against that person's informed choice submits to a forced COVID jab against their better judgement and then suffers detrimental health results? We all know the answers.
While I am not DF'd they can kiss my ass, and DF me if that is the result of my personal choice to decline the jab, at this time.

Elders who favored family when it came down to appointments for Ministerial Servants and new Elders.
This /\ /\ /\ and rapid appointments of anyone who had been brought into da troof by and elder. My father who was en elder (in the truest sense of the word) for many years said, "Anyone who says that nepotism or money does not enter into an appointments is either ignorantly naive, or they are a liar." He did not mean on the part of every elder, but as a body.
In my area there was a contractor who was audited and fined several thousand dollars in each of no less than three cases of tax evasion, engaged in unemployment fraud, screwed around on each of two JW wives, and said all one had to do was confess after the fact, claim a weak moment, and write a big check to the congregation. It must have worked, for him at least, as he is now an elder in one of the central most southern states in the U.S.. And still regularly getting drunk.

They bragged about the video facilities as being the biggest yet in JW land. Not only that they naturally remembered to do a little begging, If you cannot volunteer to work as free slave labor you CAN donate your $$$$$. D--ned greedy b-----ds!

Things could always take another turn for the worse, and they will IF the "powers-that-be" have their way or begin to think the average citizen is getting a little too far from from the government teat.

JWs will be back in Kingdom Hall’s sooner than we think.
I know it is only hearsay, but the local JW COBE's wife reportedly said that when the KH opens up again there will be strict restrictions on letting anyone who has made the informed choice to wait to receive the gene therapy shot into the KH. Sounds like another GOOD reason to decline the jab, to me!

DOW and S&P500 are both down about 2.8% so far today.
Perhaps this has a little to do with it?

A blond woman was out for an afternoon drive one spring day. As she drove along enjoying the scenery she spied another blond in a row boat out in the middle of a plowed field pulling mightily on the oars . She pulls over onto the shoulder or the road, gets out of her car, and going over to the fence yells,"What in the name of God are you doing?" Second blond yells back, "Can't you see, I am rowing this little boat across this field." First blond yells in reply, "That is so stupid. You cannot do that. And if I could swim I would come out there and kick your ass!"

Miley looks like a tin-horn dictator with all that crap on his chest. I imagine most of it is "participation" ribbons, like they give in the Special Olympics.

They say congregation members “exercise their personal religious conscience … to limit or cease their association with a disfellowshipped person.”
The quote above from the article is what JW's profess. I can speak from experience that that is complete utter B.S. I was threatened with being DF'd because I gave a fellow who was DF'd a ride home during a terrible thunderstorm so he wouldn't have to struggle to walk about three miles (US) home after dark. He had suffered a severe head injury in an industrial accident while DF'd.
Later during a period of time I was DF'd the P.O. gave an unscheduled talk on the service meeting between opening announcements and the scheduled second part to chastise the congregation for even making eye contact with me.
Their personal religious conscience be damned! Too bad anyone who has seen first hand the reality could not form a class action to bring to light the lies.
