  so my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.

  my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.

  to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

  Sorry to hear, we all have to face it despite false promises.

  The mindset is that this pandemic is equal to the black death do there is no interaction in person. The announcements if made at all are very short--there is important business to handle like donations and mask reminders.

  You did miss the hungry people coming to a reception and a recruiting talk. Memorials are one of the few ways to catch up with old acquaintances.

  I know one loving elder who did not have any remembrance per his instructions. My suspicion is he realized the hollow hope held out. It does make the clisure harder for family though.

  A new one will csuse as much rioting as a contested election. It will take a heavy hand to restore peace.

  We normal people can no more change radical thinking than they can convince us there are 7 genders.

  We need to get back to decent behaviour on all sides.

  hello everyone, if the elders start hounding someone to attend a judicial committee meeting is there any legal recourse that someone can take to make them back off?

  i know that sometimes they will just at the threat of it.

  thoughts?.

  Simon. The downside is them using coercion to force family and friends to walk away from you. Trying to deny them any leverage

  Is st Louis a county? Where i live there are 2 cities with a seamy border area, the cops cooperate. The stats are computed separately. Kansas city is listed twice, i bet the murders cross the river easily

  I notice chicago needs to step it up.

  Worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.

  does anybody know what this message will contain ?

  is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?

  or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.

  I get 10 to 1 junk mail so a few thousand extra pieces will not make an impact.

  If the witness letters made a difference the postal service would now be in the black

  Similar to wearing a flag?

  If a maga hat is forbidden or the battle flag, why not a queer flag?

  I get " offended" by mexican flags, but not british, Italian,

  1914 Dropped

  by pale.emperor in

  so i was observing an online conversation between a jw and a former-jw.

  the non-jw pointed out that wwi cant have had anything to do with satan supposedly being "cast out of heaven" because wwi was already well under way in oct 1914.. the jw proceeds to explain that satan was actually thrown down to the earth in 1915 and that he started to wreak havock on the earth from heaven knowing he was about to be cast out.. so 1914 is officially old light now?

  does anyone have a source for that or was this brother lying through his teeth?.

  The having great anger was supposed to be the cause of ww1. Satan is limited to earth (moon, mars?) so wreaks havoc. Like when you have a bad day at work so come home and break furniture and slap the wife around and kick the dog. The old story was that the anger started ww1,

  In all fairness e very translator has a bias to belief. That well known john 1:1 has a comment in some bibles that they inserted "the" to fit the trinity teaching.

  TIME FOR ACTION. Enter dialogue on things and offer solutions? vote?

  The campsign I liked best was the one when we went out at 6am and left tracts in doors. No contact. That one didnt work either
