Forced isolation to show love . i remember the fat ass from the GB saying that if you find someone freezing you shout at them and slap them; the real treatment is to hug them and give warmth.
The bible does not set a year limit either for "reinstatement". The scriptures show way less than a year. And the offense was something the world would shun peopke over too.
Do not forget the coercion used for baptism
i work at two separate hospitals and most of the rns i work with have stated they won't take the vaccine.
i've read a report that 1/3 of rns will refuse the vaccine.
for those in other countries do you see this being an issue or is it more an american phenomenon?.
Hospital workers here are required to take the flu shot. There is a mistrust of the fast tracking, new technology, and limited testing; among all the population not just nurses.
so the new biden/harris gun policies are starting to appear.
it’s not clear yet, what they will be.. some suggestions; confiscate all guns.------buyback programs in each state.. there is much talk on social media that if this happens, the pandemic, + all the riots, + all the damaged property, + all the annual murders in america, - put together-will be like a sunday afternoon picnic, compared to all the deaths and property damage that will result because of “civil uprising” by millions of 2nd amendments advocates and just plain gun lovers.
americans love guns!.
Imagine if no one had a gun to stop this monster(with a gun).
How did this monster get a gun? Could we have prevented it? ASK theses important questions, don't just insist it was inevitable like some fatalist doomsayer
No guns, nobody gets shot. But there are guns. Do you think the mafias cannot smuggle guns? How about pointy knives, cars that go over 100, booze, on and on.
pounding the disfellowship crap this week.
that nnea3n we should avoid the drunk on the gb and ignore the pleas for money?.
Fat fingers. Nnea3... means. I was sneaking this in during neeting
pounding the disfellowship crap this week.
that nnea3n we should avoid the drunk on the gb and ignore the pleas for money?.
Pounding the disfellowship crap this week. That nnea3n we should avoid the drunk on the GB and ignore the pleas for money?
you cannot make this up: financial help and the hand of jehovah complete project.
january 2016 jw broadcasting..... video starts at 35:30. a local design construction department manager named travis brooks tells a story about a building project on the island of yap, micronesia.
a small kingdom hall needs to be expanded because the facility wasn't big enough for those in attendance.
I miss the old halls with local character. Limestone blocks, adobe, logs, plain frame. Now they are bland and soon to become even worse IF any are built

I will argue that Australian laws are not all reasonable. Confiscating. 22 pump rifles? Now lever actions are in the sights? The linits on hunting gun capacity have to do with conservation and " fair " sport.
Since I am US, the revolution was not against a private army owned by George, but against overbearing laws from the government. Are there any plans for draconian laws now?
i cannot seem to find any information on which elder/s are assigned to do a shepherding visit on a congregation member.
does one of them have to be the member's field group leader?
can any elders do a shepherding visit at a member's request?
The prescribed method is the service leader and whomever he chooses, maybe a ministerial servant. You can ask for someone else, they will exchange information anyway, especially if any flags are raised.
Most of us are looking for ways to dodge any visits
okay, i haven't been to a meeting in over 17 years and i don't live anywhere near the place i grew up.
i have had minimal contact with my jw family, essentially just occasional phone conversations.
i think they could easily guess that i'm inactive but they pretend not to know and they've never shunned me.
How can I check up on a remarriage mate? ( not yet) Sure cant make a decision based on mutual attraction and filling needs for each
i was recently present at a witness funeral (by zoom) and the brother did do a nice talk about this sister who passed away.
her and her husband had pioneered for many years, but she succumbed to cancer.. in his closing remarks, of course he talked about the resurrection, and remarked how the husband (still alive) would soon be back together with his wife.. certainly fine thoughts, but imagine if this guy ended up getting remarried?
isn’t that putting a lot of pressure on someone, when it isn’t even mentioned in the bible at all?.
We had a sister die recently. Her husband had been attending zoom with her (terminal) he told the elders she requested a celebration of life without a big religious to do. Brother pushy said we'll see about that!!! Haven't heard of any memorial yet.
This brother and his wife used to be mild, now they are gung ho to the point of unpleasant
