My wife will stand but not sing. I always thought that was the JW policy or the current one.

24JW's and the National Anthem/Flag
by Anony Mous inone thing we were always taught in the past is how we should sit down and pray (kneel) to jehoober whenever we were at an event where they played the national anthem.
we had to actively disrespect the flag and anthem and be no part of the world, because we were our own country with jesus as king.. given kneeling/sitting for the national anthem is now the favorite pastime of the far-left and if you do so, you get associated with democrats, how do jehovah's witnesses now 'become no part of this world' when they have to disrespect the flag?.

Which songs give you goosebumps?
by LoveUniHateExams ini don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?
', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.
y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.

Freebird.
Amazing grace on bagpipes is pretty special also.

Steel
The real purpose of the article is seek out inactive ones, find something in their life that could get them disfellowshipped and go find some elders to blackmail them into returning.
Seek and destroy.

Fading out during the pandemic?
by Kingdavid41 ingiven the current world situation with the covid-19 pandemic and so many social distancing, staying at home and self quarantining.
all meetings are currently being held on zoom assemblies and conventions are viewed via the website .
this is the perfect time to fade-out and you probably won’t even be noticed!

I have noticed some of the “ social witnesses” aren’t attending the Zoom meeting ls as much. I think sitting at home watching the meetings made them realize how pointless and boring they are without sitting with a group of people feeling superior to everyone.

About two years ago there was a bus accident where I live in which 17 teenage hockey players lost their lives. Not a single mention of it in the Kingdom Hall.
Jws don’t give a shit about Anything that doesn’t put them first and center. You could legalize black slavery again and you would just hear about how it effects black brothers not being able to Do field service or meeting attendance.

Wts is a made in America cult protected by American rights and freedoms that operators freely under the umbrella of the protection of an armed police force and armed forces.
You want to go around like a telemarketer in a dictatorship telling people the government is controlled by Satan and do no defend the country because 8 wizards in American say so .
When your message is membership in a club instead of salvation in Jesus Christ.....I say fuck em.

When the Covid thing hit we talked him into quitting but now he has gone back. I know we don’t have a lot of cases where I live but man, stupid, stupid , stupid .
Anyone else reached that point where they have traded places with there parents?

Tips for a Slow Fade

You could tell the elders you have been assigned to tract and monitor apostate activity in the area. The orders come from powers well above them and you can’t say anymore about it. If they ask anyone about it they will just deny knowing anything about it.
With your new assignment you will be unable to attend field service or meetings anymore.
