when i was looking at prepping back in the 90s i was told by several elders that we needed to just rely on the org and jehovah and not prep.
i started to put away vacuum sealed bags of rice beans and spices anyway.
now they have this go bag crap.
People in general are ill equipped to leave home in a hurried energency. FEMA also recommends go bags and the WT is following their guidelines. It is not an idea Jehovah came up with.
In reality the help comes from neighbors, churches, and governments. Disasters do not cooperate with timing so dad will be at work, kids at school, mom wherever like her work. what to take comes down to needing a go trailer with the list .
coming from gods appointed channel and wifelike organization to his special people and possession is cut and paste cdc guidelines and what other organizations and govt.
programs those in financial need can look to for help?
!
I hear critical times hard to deal with about every 5 minutes during the daily text. wife tunes it in.
there are fb posts about the rich tv preachers and their not contributing to covid relief.
sure wish i could hack a way to post a comment on our favorite charity doing the same .

it's been an emotional few weeks going through old watchtower literature, i mean old.
i have saved many things, some you have never seen.
particularly related to 1975, i have wts literature, even a big newspaper article about the 1975 prediction.. today, i started going through the reel to reel tapes.
I have an old tape somewhere from dad given him by a cousin. When I played it it was a meeting of apostates in Nebraska in the 50s. My family has roots back to Russell. Too bad it doesnt even give bragging rights or a line on the " truth"

They just played the natural disaster video, complete with the donating part. Then made the comment that if we need help go to the " secular authorities ".
We are supposed to report any symptoms ??? Is this catchy over zoom? The local herbalist sister is possibly the only help if you mistrust the doctors .

if you were a child during the years of 1960 to 1970, the question isn't; do you remember these conventions?
the question is; how could you forget?
Remember doing rooming work? Asking for accomodations from strangers for strangers. I still cringe.
Dad and Mom would have out of town friends stay with us the few times we were blessed with a local convention instead of having to travel. 3 extra families, all with kids, one bathroom. Cots in the living room, yard, blankets on the floor.
today a dutch judge ruled that jw elders and the jw branch cannot invoke clergy-penitent privilege when it comes to information used in a judicial committee.. jw had filed a complaint with the courts because the branch office, two kingdom halls and a few elders' homes were raided by police almost 2 years ago in search of evidence related to child abuse issues.. jw argued that the information that was taken by police is protected by clergy-penitent privilege.
today the judge ruled that 1) an organization doesn't haven't such a privilege, 2) jw elders don't always act as spiritual counselors.
their actions as judges in judicial committees aren't protected by privilege, and 3) conversations jw have with their elders are often not confidential at all (as per jw policy) so jw elders can't rightfully invoke clergy-penitent privilege to maintain absolute confidentiality, because there isn't absolute confidentiality in the first place.. jw are thinking about appealing the verdict..
And he is right

8 days. Ghetto stadium, people living in houses with no roofs. One murder. Several rapes. And camping.
Different one, 90% humidity, 100 degrees. The AC did work, and it was about60 to 65 inside. And I got chewed out for being a playboy; friends daughter was 14, looked 20, wife was 25, looked 16, and i got told i should be volunteering instead of flirting.
Coliseums, ball parks, fair grounds. Rain, hail, wind. And I thought it was right.
Remember driving cross country with a WT in the window? Laying in back if a station wagon because there weren't enough seats
so the liberals in all their intelligence or lack of it, have put the homeless up in hotels and are set to force hotels to take them in while giving them free drugs and food.
all they are doing is reinforcing bad behavior.
liberals destroy and conservatives have to clean up the mess.
Class distinctions? I would not fit in at the ritz.
The ever present tax subsudies are a dufferent matter
i was a witness from grade school ( 1976) until 2007. i seem to remember an important aspect that was always talked about at the hall as being a fact.they would say that "the rocks themselves would cry out" if the public preaching work was to stop,,,,, all i've seen and heard these past few months are the witnesses complaining about the witnessing work coming to a halt.but i've not heard one rock crying .. .

Let me guess. JW.org website?
That's the standard letter no tracts because they costs too much. It should have had a name or initials in the return.
Maybe the post office will show a ok profit this year
