  This Year's "Love" Conventions -- The JW Version of "Love-In"

  by Room 215 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  reports from the locals who attending the recent "love never fails" convention reported little-to-no references to the more brutal jw doctrines, i.e.

  no mentions of the blood ban, no mothers refusing to take phone calls from her estranged daughter, no bunkers, etc.... just lots of "warm and fuzzy" videos featuring loads of hugging and tears at places across the globe.

  are they getting soft?

  Teach people how to wash hands, brush teeth. Didnt provide soap or toothbrushes though. I am glad there was no international close, I dont think I could stand the hype

  Those pictures are not the best artwork, even without the subject matter. 1966 headbands and ( gasp) beards, It was embarrassing to even let anyone see them, and we were supposed to highlight the covers at the door.

  People cant figure out that projects done with volunteers cost more than hiring contractors? There is no proof that the money claimed for support of missionaries or whomever is really spent, or how much goes to scotch

  I remember that savings deposit thing. 10000 went to the society and was supposed to be available for emergencies in the congregation. When seats were needed they took in pledges I wanted to raise my hand and ask what happened to that 10000

  I think the money came from a bro who inherited a large amount. As I remember right after the inheritance there was 20000 quietly showed up. The elders sent 10000 right away as a donation, then the deposit thing came along. I am sure as I can be without questioning anyone that the donation was meant as a cushion for a poor congregation that was always having the electricity shut off

  DT is having a speech tomorrow. Probably a stance on further restrictions. That said, the country will not address any if the issues; health, immigration, wages, ( jobs that are not burger flippers) ,crime, drugs, violence

  The 200 years ago argument doesnt hold; look at the difference in news now compared to a broadsheet or the ability to communicate now vs. Then

  Remember the 2nd was written to allow citizens to have state of art notary weapons, then a musket, now the equivalent to what the military has would be a m16, full auto. this is already not allowed.

  There are thousands of crimes on the books now, with punishment not proportional nor swift

  Trump handed the immigrant ball to Congress where it belonged all the time. They dropped it. As for the previous president he is more correctly Arab/American and he stirred lots up

  You can blame some if this on the PC business where no one can say unapproved things

  I just came back from Walmart and the store was full of Spanish speakers buying school stuff. The kids do not speak English either. There are families with kids 4, 3, 2 ,1 plus the school ages. Who can afford this on "jobs Americans won't do"?

  Before you all call racist be aware my best neighbor is a mexico mexican, his kids speak better English than a lot of rednecks, he keeps his home up. He does not fly a foreign flag or make a fuss on any holidays. I grew up with best friends who were not pale pink like myself. I am trying to remember my Spanish, he helps me at times

  Why doesn’t the Governing Body hold debates to asses the qualifications of a new GB member?

  by I believe in overlapping in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the members have no idea what qualifies someone has to be a member of the governing body.

  members know absolutely nothing about new members of the governing body who are appointed.

  kenneth cook was the last appointed governing body member in 2018..

  Surely they assess the candidates. Big question is how do you apply? Sitting at your desk and suddenly decide you are annointed, but how do you draw attention?

  Weird Jehovah’s Witnesses

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  is it my imagination or are most witnesses weird, odd, and “different “?

  it seems every congregation has a couple of weirdo elders, pioneers and ministerial servants.

  and then you see those witnesses who attend meetings but most people seldom associate with them because... they are eccentric..
