while having my first strong black coffee of the day, i was thinking about what may be to come next as the org.
rapidly goes mainstream, and this is what i came up with :.
1) they will introduce for sunday, the after meeting fellowship, a time for just chatting but with the added bonus of coffee and snacks.
In my area we would have a "supper night" once a month after the mid week meeting, everyone would bring a plate.
- Always a high attendance on this night and it worked well for a few years until the fun police stepped in with some reason why it could not continue.

in april, on a sunday afternoon the ajax soccer stadium in amsterdam will be filled with all dutch witnesses for a special visit of steven lett.. never done before in holland.
ofcourse it will be better then ever.
.
Great stuff, seeing and hearing this guy up close should be a turning point for many Dutch witnesses, like it was for me.

how will history treat joseph rutherford?.
like ben gorden has said, it would depend on who’s looking back.
"How will history remember him? If the Google Gemini app has anything to do with it, he'll probably be remembered as African American or Asian."
That woke adventure wiped 139 Billion off the Google stock market value!

'jehovah's witnesses are heavily vaccinated due to guidance given from july to december 20211 by the governing body.many witnesses have had serious adverse effects following vaccination campaigns and, for the most part, have had great difficulty in expressing them and having them recognized.this website was made to allow each witness touched by these vaccination campaigns to express it so that the community takes it into account.'.

Hey ExB..PIMA, there is hope, recent indicate that the spike protein can be suppressed by IVM in people that continue to produce it (long COVID). Have a listen to Professor Robert Clancy talking with Dr. John Campbell about previously unknown ways in which IVM helps. https://youtu.be/qWlf7sbomMQ?si=cJlsx4is_VHG9AEN
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-29/jehovahs-witnesses-not-reporting-all-child-sex-abuse-to-police-/103320582.
national news story in australia today.. the inquiry heard that since the 1950s, the witnesses hid more than 1,000 cases of child sexual abuse.the faith group did not report one case to police over that time.the royal commission was announced in 2012 and the final report was delivered in 2017.in the wake of the institutional failings exposed by the commission, western australia’s mandatory reporting requirements were expanded to include religious ministers in 2021.it meant that they would have to report child sexual abuse to authorities.however, despite it being post royal commission, documents show how the religious group conducted its own internal investigation.the religious leaders did not report the matter to police.

Ha ha ha... that one news item just undid 10 years worth of witnessing.

things got a bit lively after the agm leaks in october.
there was a lot of discussion going on on this board for a few months.
now that all the leaks have been more or less confirmed as policy, and we've had lively discussions at length concerning the changes, things seem to have slowed down here.. a few suggestions have been raised as to what might be the next changes, such as women being allowed to wear slacks (in the usa, anyway), decoupling from 1914 as an anchoring date and others.. so, what changes do you think will be announced this year?.
i’m hearing paraphrasing like “we just don’t know” .
is this regarding 1914?
or micheal the arch angel?.
So you can't have 1914 without 607 and the second fulfilment of the 7 times was an anti typical fulfilment. Did the society not push antitypes under the old light carpet sometime back? In doing so how did they not dynamite the foundation of their own authority? It's all just b******* on steroids guys, stop arguing about it and do something useful with your time.

Well.., now I have heard everything. This is just bullshit on steroids.

prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.
are they allowed to?
would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.
Green Hornet - I remember this one...A young sister went to a criminal's door. After he got arrested the police asked him why he not did not attack this "sister" He answered because there are 2 big guys next to her.
That was one of the "proofs" that helped hook me as a gullible teenager, back then I did not know that the Mormons also use this urban myth.
