i would like to know if ex's and formers who are not church christians, believe that many of jws' doctrines and bible interpretations are correct, or do you feel that they aren't?
.
I think my turning point was learning the new testament is basically the story of god and jews and god and the church. The whole god of Israel to the god of everyone.
The whole " Other sheep " and " Little Flock " being the heavenly hopers and the earth hopers , 1914 and 1919, just became too bloody stupid for any real student of the bible. The WTS at its core is just voiding the new testament for anyone but the governing body.
we might have russians involved in the middle east and are attacking israel.. wait.. i thought the watchtower and tract society was the central figures in the end times.
.
not that i believe in any of this nonsense but any news in jw world about how the evangelical narrative might be playing out closer than the wts stupidity.

The ironic part is this blast will be a much bigger story in dub land than the whole Israel Hamas thing.

I don’t think Muslims and Hindus like having people show up at there door and call them “ false religion “.
no more watchtower and awake mags every 2 weeks to place.
no private home book studies.
no more "essential" spiritual food meals 5x a week.
Our last meeting (which I wasn't there , had 15 people ). Ten years ago we had 160 publishers.
Mind you it was right after an assembly, people can only take so much.
Pretty soon there will not be enough money to even pay the power bill.
just a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.
a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?
maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?
The average age of the body of elders in our hall is well over 70 and they are just getting old to hound everyone. Plus, I think the younger ones realize it is kind of a dick move always being in everyone's business.
Plus there are people who just never go out and it is getting harder and harder to just ignore the fact some people are just treating it as " Church " now.
I am sure most halls are in the same situation.

I remember my wife actually being in labour and receiving a phone call asking how many hours she did that month. I found it quite inappropriate to ask a women nine months pregnant that question. Like use some fucking common sense.
I think I might have another word with him about that now.
this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

I remember about 10 years ago, we were having a really miserable January. It was literally -40 the entire month. There was a little break in the weather near the end of month, maybe it was only -30 and still icy as hell. The CO was coming for a visit and everyone was in a mad panic to get here hours in.
Two sisters got killed on an Icy highway, after getting hit by a semi. There was no sane reason that anyone should be out there. No leadership in the corg. No said " don't get yourself killed out there, your life is worth more than a time card. "
Funerals were a sales pitch for the borg. The two brother were remained within the year. What a joke.
this is a topic discussed in a current article in the hongkong based asia times*.
find it at: https://asiatimes.com/2023/09/nones-still-no-match-for-us-christian-nationalism/.
the claim is made in the article, that near 30% of americans are non-believers, and that this number is increasing.
The transgender thing is weird but I don't think they exist any real numbers that this is a real problem. Plus I think half of them are just trolls who love the attention and getting right wing loons all upset. I don't know. There has to be something to it . Why would you want to walk around with a target on your back with people calling you a queer, faggot, pedo, weirdo etc. Outside of sports and women's change rooms, you can just do you. None of my business. For the people taking about the innocence of the children, shit that is funny. Every kid is walking around with the worlds largest smut store on there telephone. Some of these sites are getting nearly 3 billion hits a month. I am sure they have already seen it all. Long gone are days of the Sears Catalogue and a vivid imagination.
To have people protesting at my sons K-8 school without a single trans or gay kid, no drag queen hour or whatever is absolute bullshit. The whole thing is like the black parent who had there kid join some inner city gang at 17 and go to jail and turn around and blame society. Only if a democrat was in office, this wouldn't have happened. Either do your job as a parent or accept what your kid is but don't blame the schools. Just fuck off.
In my neck of the world we currently have 300 or so kids in hospital with an Ecoli outbreak with some 20 in ICU care. The gutting of the health authorities by right wing is much or a threat to the safety of children.
