today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..
Justaguy... charity work, real charity
The convention just said those who feel a lack of love are not doing their part. No mention of cliques, overbearing strong arm people.
The biggest reason has to be the unfulfilled expectations and the anti education stance
this overview is from dw news*, a german public broadcasting service.
i thought it may be interesting to know that early jerusalem was not as large as some have thought.. .

The logistics of maintaining the sizes claimed is improbable. No trucks, airplanes, freezers, water, privies- the list goes on.
Look at modern armies, or relatively late campaigns, even the civil war. Or look at the refugees right now

i was just looking around, this one i've been involved in renovating with the rbc.
apparently it sold for $500k..
Was the kitchen always there? I figure the halls would sell better if there was a way for hospitality to be provided by the buyer. Witnesses are actually the least hospitable of any group
types of cancer.i've been wondering for some time what the current gb has said about witness parents giving the green light, or red light, to having their kids vaccinated against hpv (the human papillomavirus) since it is a sexually transmitted disease.
it causes cervical and other types of cancer.
the recommended age for vaccination is 8-12 years old.
We had a pointed talk on such matters against it. The reasoning being that jw kids will never get a disease because they all marry as virgins. Said protestant preacher has a better understanding.
Side point; news skates around how so many men get hpv in the throat.
yes, there has been crime as long as we can remember.
under 8 years of obama, there was crime.
under 8 years of bush the younger, there was crime.
Blm, antifa, rednecks, lgbtq all acting out. Add the fear mongering over the pandemic and ridiculous restrictions.
The news will not leave trump alone. I hear commentary all the time that is editorial. Things like; "even obama couldn't ". Trump was wrong to restrict travel with china but restricting travel in the USA is right?
Most of the oppressed minorities are NOT who you would want for neighbors. The minority neighborhoods dont want them either. Add in defunding,/ restricting police and police who will not police their own bad apples. (Biden will not defund police, the local machine will,)
i don't know about you - but i never know when i'm being lied to or told the truth any longer.
partisans are tribes warring on truth.
i decided to see what i could find out historically and this is what i've come up with.
Satan is doing it. Stops the letter writing witnesses. Honest, from a sister
the ark encounter located in kentucky (opened in 2016) is a large representation of noah's ark based on the genesis flood narrative contained in the bible.
it is 510 feet (155 m) long, 85 feet (26 m) wide, and 51 feet (16 m) high.. .
genesis 6: 14 so make yourself an ark of cypress[c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.
Pyramids were impossible too.
That said the thing is not sea worthy nor does the rest of narrative fit; miracle trees, receding waters, population at babbel
during tonight's meeting the brother seemed to read out something along the lines of "you may be helping a poor sister who you think may be struggling, but in turn that sister may be getting financial assistance from the government.
it is always best to stick to jehovah's arrangement in these matters so that help can get to those who most need it, including the worldwide work".
i think it may have been an article about social media platforms initially and how they should be avoided and then this was mentioned.
They did a go fund me here. The government plan is let people die of cancer if they have poor insurance. There are scammers though. case in point is funding repairs and building kingdom halls
the following list was posted by generation2 in reddit.
perhaps you can add to it.. 1- it's a translation issue.
2- that's how things where then.
9 is the get out of jail card. Add " new light".
in wt world, a marriage is only seen (considered) as legal if it is registered in the municipality (or similar governmental organisation).
now, if you look at the scriptures, there was no requirement to have a marriage legally registered in order to be considered married.
is it not strange that the wt subjects themselves to and adopts an worldly arrangement setup but governments rules by satan when it comes to a marital status?.
The legalities are the bigger reason. the bible also had girls married at 13 ( despite jonah's old maid sister).
There is mention of a certificate of divorce, so there must have been some legalities back when
