cults are famous for controlling information about people, places and events which are embarrassing to their self-myths.in my experience from the beginning of my personal contact with jehovah's witnesses - i knew next to nothing at all.
i was in elementary school in the 6th grade, age 12. a school chum who was a jw befriended me and the indoctrination began straightaway!it took all of 6 years of studying and attending meetings before i agreed to be baptized on a date very easy to remember: it was november 23, 1963 - the day after president john f. kennedy was murdered a few miles away in dallas.
(during the convention i attended - not a single mention of assassination or kennedy or his family was spoken.
Interesting. The plagiarism is way different than the searching the WT claims was done.
Someone posted a " MyBook of Bible Stories" from the 30's as I remember identical down to the same plates could have been used in part.
You can show some of this stuff and people refuse to "see" it.
a while back, i suggested that an easy, quick, quiet exit with the signing and dating of a concise and irrefutable document would spur faders and pimos to preempt the elders' interference by quitting quietly first , before a fade or a confrontation.
here is the document .

The flaw is the elders are above the law. Just ask them. They figure you signed away rights at baptism. I suspect a couple people I know went the lawyer present request as they are not active and the elders will not mention them or drop in doing door work.
We can't all move and disappear which would work
for several years i have been vacuum sealing and then mylar with oxy absorber's storing rice,beans, tea, things that have a 50 year shelf life if kept dry.
i have also been putting back a few guns and ammo in case of a mostly peaceful riot from the left.
i also buy mountain house food bags that have a 25 year shelf life.
Halfway
Always a decent pile of food. The short lived things are hardest. I should figure how Mormons do it--rotating?
I do have firearms but have no delusions about my skill, temperament, age, health. The stories from the Balkans teach us we need a group (militia)
OR wait in our basement or attic. BTW, did you notice they never have a bucket in the corner?
the latest gb update ramps up the fear of the plandemic even more, and introduces a whiteboard animation that advocates staying at home, wearing masks and social distancing.. https://www.jw.org/finder?locale=en&category=latestvideos&item=pub-jwb_202012_12_video&docid=1011214&applanguage=e.
then there's another 'save the planet' type article that mentions debunked and unrealistic green new deal-esque talking points such as alternative energy, switching to a plant based diet and less manufacturing.. https://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/peace-happiness/save-earth/.
Slim
How full were hospitals in general? Is some of the problem overtaxed personnel? California is in the news as being swamped, where I live is doing OK so far. Now there are ads on TV to not avoid getting other things addressed, be it bleeding, stroke ....
the way he’s talking, i wouldn’t be surprised if he creates a third party .
he’s unhappy with republican leadership.
can you see trump leaving the gop and going rogue?
Once the dust settles I think trump will be done. He is old and being president ages all them.
There does need to be a new moderate party. Maybe libertarian?
I call for a regressive party😬. Actuallly a party that can address the necessary change without cramming illogical programs down our throats
december 25, 2020. to selected bodies of elders assigned to the covid-19.
re: adjustments to arrangements for meeting family food needs during the covid-19 pandemic.
dear brothers:.
Note that funding is all local, like always. No money or food from the circuit, congregation, or ( gasp) the branch. My city does regular distributions using a church parking lot and volunteers--to everyone.
The last I heard of the pantry was they were doing a culling of outdated stuff. I never did see that it had adequate things for a real emergency.
in a video on the jworg website, governing body stephen lett says that as of december 20, 2020, 7,500 jws have died from covid-19.
strangely enough, the cult never mentions the number of jws who die from refusal of blood transfusions each year… hypocrite..
Who do they think makes the contributions? A lot of us have to go to work.

If that is the same way the government counts it is died WITH covid, not from. Add in being older, probably not quite as healthy due to the godliness of poverty, and it is 1% or less many whom would have died anyway.
The native americans are noted for abject poverty. And big extended fsmilies

White board=stick figures like I drew in 1st grade.
Who is going to manufacture (reduced) the expensive green things, especially without petroleum?
Ungulates convert rough plants into protein humans can digest.
The green new building is mandated for all new structures. They have a source of labor the rest of us don't decreasing the cost too.
Wife tells me they have an update on covid with a family losing 35 people. How did CNN miss that one?
i think it should simply be there to help us citizens.
and besides giving money to other countries, stop giving money to the arts and entertainment..... give money to help taxpayers struggling with debt .
period!!!
How could any president read and digest 5555 pages within a week to find the things to veto? We have been told the big things, simplified, but the devil is in the details. There are lots of things already written waiting to be tacked on the next bill, too.
