  Meetings via video conference

  by FedUpJW in

  so i just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple.

  and guess what?

  one can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.. i did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their tos this: you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled.

  there going to start using the zoom app for the meeting ,got to go a help my aged parents to set it up.. i'm not very good at the technical stuff is there any way of hiding your self on the app or is this a way of them checking to see who's listening to the meetings.. thought fading would have been easier during this virus.. thanks.

  Are YOU a JW parasite?

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower

  every single member of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses (yb16 p. 176 2015 grand totals) – which includes all of the governing body, all bethelites, every jw missionary, every circuit overseer, and all special pioneers – are worse than people without* faith!

  because they have all signed a vow of poverty which renders them as parasites, living off other people's earnings.

  where in the bible is that a “principle”?

  Had a CO sit here and tell all the world vacations he has done. Nothing I could afford. None was on his own money.

  COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?

  by JWTom in

  my area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.

  the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.

  many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

  so we are a couple weeks into this crisis with the meetings being cancelled.

  and you would think the fds would have provided the sheep with helpful spiritual guidance in these times of need.

  wtf do they have jw broadcasting for then?

  The local hall has 4 congregations with over 100 each. I guess they could keep going for all the 24 hours from sundown. There has been NO contact since the gov shut down the world. Last instructions were to show up anyway even if all the other halls did shutter.

  I can do the memorial for wife, and maybe neighbor witness in way less time with no danger

  Post script

  The locals are decent, if sometimes a bit odd and definitely IQ chalkenged .

  Their jobs just disappeared too. They can no more afford to get sick than the rest of us.

  There has been no pastoral care. We do not need a pretend presentation, nor directions on how to shake our weewee when we go.

  Is there a way to get groceries if we are old? Can I give a ride to someone? How will I pay the rent (all my money went to the GB)

  Quote: supposed to be looking out for the flock

  Most of them are at risk individuals. Since I am able bodied maybe I can take by the watchtower on disasters and tell them I hope they have bottled water.

  Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread

  by Simon in

  1. jw

  this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

  latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

  the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

  Korea has a single ethnicity with few immigrants, no language barrier and still has a strong sense of family. And a smaller geographic area. And a nearly dictatorial government.

  Contrast my city with 30 plus languages, muslim women who cannot touch a man ( minor), and a need for translation. Then add in the panicked people clogging the energency services. That is not all it though. Add the jealousy of the big suburbs working contrary to what the big core city does. There is rivalry among the hospitals so they do not cooperate on exchanging records. Different computer formats that cant read the other

  I mistrust numbers that can be massaged we see that all the time. What the news says is not we peons see

  My wife's meetings are canceled; my son's KH has issued nothing, no cancelations, no guidelines for interactions, nothing

  Same here. Every other congregation in the area has canceled but mine. Some gave no guidance on service or memorial work. I heard some went to the meeting for service and no one else showed. I wonder if the no show elders here were the ones voting against
