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..
It's scattered about here and there. The latest reference is in the June 2020 WT, page 18, footnote to paragraph 2.
EXPRESSION EXPLAINED: An inactive publisher is someone who has not reported any activity in the preaching and disciple-making work for six months or more. Even so, inactive ones are still our brothers and sisters, and we love them.
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.
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
Wait till after next week, when thousands of KHs (and rented facilities) have been stuffed beyond legal capacity for the Memorial, due to the GB's "earnest desire" to have everyone meet in person.
Imagine 200 people in a building designed for 150, rubbing their noses then touching the plates & wine glasses.
It'll be a petri dish of infection.
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.
This is next week's WT study.
These boneheads really are drunk on their own power.
i may have put this in the wrong thread.
if so, i'm sorry.. my conundrum is this.... i am almost completely certain that an awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and i seem to remember them actually naming guns and roses.. i can't find anything now, and i'm wondering if it's the mandela effect, or if it's another case of the cdrom versions of the awakes being doctored again.. does anyone else remember this?
or am i crazy?
KISS! Yes!
Though I don't recall hearing it from the platform, my JW friends told me it was an acronym for "Knights in Satan's Service".
Good times.
golden age aug 25th 1926 p.751 "negative gravitation...you may have wondered how accidents will be avoided in christ's kingdom, since we are told nothing will hurt or destroy.
scientist tell us there is enough atomic energy in one finger nail to propell a battleship.
the people of the future may carry some of this power with them.
The people who mocked you, ignored you, oppressed you, and persecuted you have been turned into the dust that you now shake off of your sandals.
Oh and don't forget - in the JW version, you get their fancy houses, too.
Still not clear who provides the electricity for the house though. [Shrug] "I'll guess we'll just have to wait and see. Jehovah will provide!"

We had a CO play "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen during a circuit assembly. He was trying to demonstrate the dangers of "backward masking", the idea that bands intentionally recorded messages only understood when the (vinyl) record was played in reverse.
After playing it forward, he then played a recording of the same clip, backward.
He told the audience, "now listen - they clearly say 'decide to smoke marijuana' ".
I'm glad he told us in advance, because to an unprepared ear, the recording sounded more like "dgrtvdf sowooort maggitorushssss".
But hey, if the CO says it says "decide to smoke marijuana", who am I to deny it?

There's no "COVID Explosion."
Pandemic is not quite over yet:

I expect the scenario mentioned in the Reddit to happen in hundreds if not thousands of congregations, particularly in the crowded conditions sure to occur at the Memorial.

Oh lord, get ready for some hyper-spastic "See? We told you so" articles from the WTS for the next decade.
apparently 4 new gb helpers as per reddit.
1) paul gillies.
2) johnathan smith.
He is really exceptionally dull and uninspiring , with no noticeable empathy or warmth though
I'm pretty sure those are exactly the qualifications for "GB member". He'll fit right in.
phone call to us.
attend meeting, wear mask, distance, get shots.
every one was said to be nobodies business.
any potential cold or flu symptoms disqualify people from attending JW meetings at a Kingdom Hall
Or if you've been "exposed" to the virus in the past 10 days.
"Sorry, brother, since a significant number of those infected with COVID are asymptomatic, I cannot confirm I have not been exposed to it in the past 10 days. So, out of an abundance of caution and concern for the brothers, I'll be staying home from the meeting."
Repeat every week until they stop asking.
