what does jump the shark mean?.
the phrase “jump the shark” is a term in pop culture that originated from the tv show “happy days” and is used to describe a decline in quality.
it refers to the moment when a tv show or other product has reached its peak and starts to decline in quality.
Some countries in Europe (and not just the EU) actually do care about destructive influences to the family arrangement. When Norway heard complaints and investigated JWs, they naturally responded with indignation that the religion was creating dysfunctional families while being funded by tax money.
I expect this to happen elsewhere moving forward with WTC fighting tooth n’ nail to reverse the trend. A grass roots movement in Brazil is getting traction now. How will WTC react? The same way.

long island business news.
march 4, 2024. the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses, which bought the former geico property in woodbury for $27 million in dec. 2022, plans to spend at least another $23 million to build an assembly hall and two support buildings on about half of the site.
DOC - I thought the same thing. This seems like a poorly thought out expansion - OR - there is more to this than they have shared.
I can see NO GOOD REASON for purchasing this property other than consolidating nursing facilities for retirees.
rossville, il, i heard it had disbanded about 15 years ago.
know, i see someone bought it and turned it into a home, but sadly for them , the bad kh karma did not help the resale value.
looking at the interior pictures it's hard to see the old kh.
They DID finish it before Armageddon!! Good job!

My source told me the bodyguards main role was to thwart process servers.
hi friends, i have not been on this board in awhile, and i would like to get some thoughts from some of you.
i have noticed a change within my 4 siblings in approximately the last year and a half to 2 years regarding their communication with my mother and i. they have either phoned us, texted, emailed, or written a letter or card to us.
the conversation has been good, and on any topic that comes to mind.
I abruptly faded and my family began shunning me as soon as they confirmed that I was not going to return. How did it affect me?
I am happy now! Even if they tried to rekindle a relationship, I would not allow it. Shunning me is a gift as far as I am concerned. Their is no room for their toxicity in my life.
imagine if all the governing body resigned and a new set of brothers came in and said we are very very sorry for all those who have been disfellowshipped and disassociated over the years.
we know many mistakes have been made.
we are really genuinely sorry to all those who have been hurt and especially those who have died and been hurt by these mistakes.
I knew a fella who was never religious. One day he was in an accident and lost 3/4 of his brain. When he woke up, he had a strong craving to become a JW. Imagine that!
Maybe softening/apologizing would work? I’m not one to criticize 😎
i been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….
…dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….
…i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….
Simon - the less I talk to them - the more they shun me.
I have come to understand that they know I think they are no longer relevant, as well as their teachings.
What they fail to understand is that shunning me is a gift.🎁
according to watchtower, only anointed christians existed between the first and 20th centuries.
the great crowd of other sheep only began forming after the 20th century started.. how do they support this conclusion?
.
Vanderhoven - you are making too much sense to be right.
Let’s simplify this: The number of genuine anointed ones between Pentecost 33 CE and 1919 is 144,000 minus the number of genuine anointed JWs who turned in time slips between 1919 and the end of this wicked system which is coming very very very very soon now.
Also, JWs don’t have to judge as long as they can add and subtract.
I hope that helps. It’s much easier when you see things through the Rosie colored glasses of a JW.
hi does any body know if the watchtower are printing any new awakes etc as these past 8 months or so i have had magazines from four different carts from four different towns 100s of miles apart and the most recent magazines that they all had were from 2021..
At the rate they are reducing, soon the WTC press will be a $149 Epson Desktop Inkjet printer.

Has WTC paid into the scheme for victims? Or are they still obfuscating?
