I am not say this is all and it all fits nice into this box but the congregations I went to would all fit into them. The first type is the old school. This type is very conservative old school. They follow the rules and even go beyond in being restrictive. The other type is the hippies who turned JW. I have been in a few of these. The elders were old stoners and their wifes were old hippie chicks. Anyone else see congs like this feel free to add a class.

Wt. April 2020 Revised Joel Prophecy
by BluesBrother inif this has been posted before, then my apologies..... article in april ‘20 wt changes the view of the locust swarm prophecy...formerly believed to describe the worldwide preaching by anointed.
”simply put, these verses refer, not to our zealous preaching work, but to the activity of the babylonian army that invaded jerusalem in 607 b.c.e.”.
they also tie in the giving of holy spirit to the congregation at pentecost and thereafter.. the article is available to read in full on our least favourite website.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-april-2020/an-attack-coming-from-the-north/.

Animals as vegetarians thread continued
by Crazyguy2 ini found out just last night that back in 2015 scientists discovered a piece of amber estimated to be over 15 million years old.
inside the amber was a flea, very similar to the size and kind that attack and eat our blood today.
whats even more astonishing is in the mouth they found bacteria that has the same make up as bubonic plague.

When you leave a cult after many years in even though you learn that its BS and a scam, you still have a nag in the back of your head for years. It takes time to get past it. After being out for 20 plus years I don't worry about the end of the world coming from a god.

Would You Ever Go Back To The Witnesses??
by minimus inevery once in a while you hear people say they actually “miss” their old witness friends and or family.
some would have even stayed in the organization if they became a bit more liberal and open minded.

by Terry inmovie review"1917".
i so seldom seek to sit inside an actual movie theater anymore.however ...some films are absolutely tailored for it.life of pigravityavatar3 examples of movies which do not translate to your home viewing...at all.good, bad, or indifferent - some films are visual and immersive.. here is a sacred pronouncement:movies are a visual medium.in the hands of an orson welles (i.e.
citizen kane) they are a radio play+visual storytelling medium._____.

Ever notice a lot of JWs don't have pets?
by JimmyYoung ini was told by several elders to not get a dog when i was looking for one in the 80s.
the end was close and we needed to focus on the preaching work.
i know some have pets but a lot don't.

Watching my cats play has brought me more joy than all the years in the cult combined. I was never joy in the cult.

Technology can help but there nothing on the horizon that will take the place of fossil fuel. You can not fly a passenger plane on sunshine or batteries. Its still not easy to run a Tesla across country like you can a gas or diesel car. Tech can not save the planet if the population keeps on growing. 1860 one billion people just over 100 years later and its 8 billion. This is nuts. We are stretching known farming techniques to the limit as it is. We need petro chemicals to keep insects at bay and as fertilizer to produce BPA just to keep afloat as it is. Genetic modifications has helped enormously and people who whine about it have no idea how many would starve if we did not use this. Not to mention its used by nature and man for thousands of years. Grafting is Genetic modification. No one wants to address the fact that there are already too many people on the planet as it is. And the idea that it will plateau and go down is not honest IMO. A graph of population over all of human history, where has it ever went down?
