  Jehovah’s Witnesses teenagers caught kissing are automatically “taken to a JW’s judicial committee,”

  "cannot rebel within the home without being immediately judged by the congregation’s elders.” -

  There's s lot of difference in what is stated in elders manual. And in what elders do. This things are not pointed out on that way in what i read in magazines. But some elders take this to a judicial committee. It's probably one of reason they wanna go online. Remove elders arrangements so watchtower don't get sued.

  Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?

  by JWTom in

  i realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.

  but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.

  many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

  The reasonably and wise thing to do, would be realize things ain't working with KHs, and go online. But this people are not known for being wise or using reason. So they gonna come up with some crazy and wacky idea to solve problem. I'm waiting impatiently for what they will do. It's gonna be something like overlapping generation idea that no one could figure out how they manage to get that idea 😌

  Jehovah’s Witnesses That Acted Like Humans

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  when you look back , did your witness associates act like normal human beings?

  did any of them ever show compassion and feelings for a disfellowshipped person?.

  any elders ever try to be kind to you, not “kind” as watchtower organization dictates, but truly kind and caring for you if you were experiencing difficulties?

  Caring means different things in different groups or religions. For many is visiting someone sick and helping buying food or such. It's more in helping practical way. In JW land it's more about if someone has committed a sin and should I talk to him 😁

  They turn this org to preaching cooperation 30s. Think many came after and felt there was something really wrong with org. Either they bought the idea, members increase, sigh of blessings. Think biggest reason behind this disaster is GB living in a convent in delusional reality. I pointed out lack of love in congregations back in the 90s. Only answer i got was GB thought things were great, so no need for changes. I was being negative. Well to late to do anything now. Gonna be first on-line religion. That's what you get when you follow humans.

  with the built of new jw.org media studio's we can predict the future of the jw religion.. because we are living in an age of digital media, what will be the effect of this all?.

  will the religion generate a new population?

  we know video media is a strong marketing tool.. like to hear your thoughts.. gorby .

  They going online. Having people rush from work, fast dinner and hurry to a KH to watch videos, they could watch at home. That's not gonna work in the long run.

  Will Jehovah’s Witnesses Go Back To Normal Activities?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most every state has a plan to get back to normalcy.

  many countries also are ready to get their citizens on the road to recovery.. where does this leave the witnesses?

  will they ever go back to house to house ministry?

  Meetings and assembly been dead for over 20 years. Just zombie ambient. Think they kept it going cause of donations. They making more money selling things.

  What is your status (as of today) as a Jehovah's Witness?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

  active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

  inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

  Think there was some stuff about not continuing the magazine years ago. Current events and such, people could just Google any information they wanted. No need for awake.

  Do JW women expect LESS from their man than Non-jw women?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  non-jw women usually expect their man to have some type of social status.

  whether it's education, money, fame, etc.. these days, feminism also plays a role in a future, marriage.

  (the man is not the head, maybe the women is the head).

  Longhairgirl Agree up to middle of 90 s around there title pioneer was important. Don't think it's the case last 15 years or more. Back in the 80s half congregation could be pioneers. Does time's are long gone. Status of online elder or pioneer is not gonna be that appealing to many. They notion of making 'career' in the organization felt always weird to me. Plus it was false also. Go to bethel and stay there to new system comes. Just promises undelivered.
