  what are the society's rules when confronting a disfellowshipped person at a funeral service?.

  are there specific rules or watchtower articles that must be followed?.

  i have been to three different wakes/funerals where a disfellowshipped person attended with different results.. 1. ten years ago my first cousin passed away.

  It does depend on the locals and how self righteous they are. There may be a bit of reaction if you know what the offense was

  I will greet, hug, visit with them, hounders be damned. And that goes for ANY time I see one. Being human

  The JWs don't like Chess

  i can remember when i joined the chess class in middle school.

  my mother brought out an older watchtower article about how chess is a game of war.

  since i left the cult in 95 i have slowly lost any connection to the cult.

  Video games teach violence. And waste time you could study. And promote living in a fantasy world.

  Actually blue light and inactivity are a concern.

  Chess is beyond the mental capacity of most.

  yes, the long-awaited vaccine entered my bloodstream yesterday at 5 pm.. as steve martin humorously remarked, "good news/bad news.

  good news: i just got vaccinated!

  bad news: i got it because i'm 75.

  Oxford? The US seems to have stopped at Pfizer and Moderne. I would prefer a traditional vaccine until more testing is done.

  This years flu vaccine made me somewhat sick, the shingles made me very sick for 3 days both times.

  Ant hope for a cocktail? All 20 or 30 known viruses (virii?) at once?

  $5+ gasoline, rolling blackouts, brownshirts, a duty to retreat even if you have a ( unregistered) weapon. ( redistributing wealth but not from the really wealthy)

  In the US you should learn enough Spanish to get by. In Europe Arabic.

  If the extreme predictions about the vaccines are true abortions will decline.

  This is UScentric, but Canada, Australia, NZ, Europe, S America are well along the same path or ahead. China is a leader.

  We are seeing social engineering already with the goal of having the average person live an above average life🤔. Maybe bitcoin will be the new world currency.

  There are a lot of reposts of talks, assemblies, videos. You gotta find some way to get in your time.

  My brother is always getting " meetings" on YouTube. He said you have to be careful. He is old and I am not going to rattle his cage.

  Are there any more lego commentaries? Or the good old cartoons.

  The governing body KNEW

  so i received an email from one of the used-to-be jw friends that now pretty much ignore me.

  it was haranguing me about "getting right with gee-ho'-vuh", and how imperative it was to "return to the organization".

  it continued on with the worn out argument that "the faithful and discreet slave know what we must do in order to be safe and to live, as gee-ho'-vuh brightens the light to them.

  That could be any Capitol. Protests are not a new phenomena. We have had at least since O to recognize the signs. Actually way back. Ruby Ridge, Waco, Bolsheviks, Coxey. Spain, mid 1800s London

  another Mormon similarity

  i have said to many people that a person will come to be better informed regarding what's happening in the world today by reading the book of mormon than all the magazines and newspapers combined.. - ezra benson, lds president.

  it has been said that the four parts (of the photo drama) are worth more than a year in college.. - charles russell, wt president.

  the motives and results are the same: look at in-house information first and foremost, and distrust other sources..

  I say you will learn more about what is happening in the world today by reading Jehovahs-witnesses.com

  The " not for Americans" brought jobs back, quit catering to mass immigration, recognized the military as a fighting force-not a place to get your weewee cut off....on and on.

  Despite the news reports he was not a white supremacist. His decried sexploits are the same as the ones held in esteem when done by athletes and actors of color.

  The Cancel Culture Is Alive And Well

  if you don’t support certain ideas or beliefs, you may find yourself on the losing end in business, money matters, and community.

  curt schilling, a former red sox player who is conservative today reported how his insurance company suddenly dropped him even though he was an excellent consumer with them because of his “ views”.

  he was marked by those in charge and evidently was told by the rep he knew that they didn’t like his political views.

  "Now the media wants conservatives to believe that they are about to be hauled off to re-education camps."

  That has been proposed by some of congress.

  Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

  it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

  Impeachment has been used to remove government officers who abuse the power of the office; conduct themselves in a manner incompatible with the purpose and function of their office; or misuse the office for improper or personal gain.6

  That covers just about everyone above dog catchers
