Rules of engagement. I can't remember if it was here or another forum: "kill them, kill their family, kill their friends, kill their neighbors, kill their goats". We moral Americans dont have the stomach for that, they do. Even the Russians didnt.

Good authority says this is all corrupt judges, bribery, misinformed juries, disobedient sheep. DO NOT LOOK! the comments on Splanes talk said he was heading off something

Overweight Jehovah’s Witnesses
by minimus inwhat was your kingdom hall like when it came to overweight witnesses?
i remember counseling some people on their drinking habits.
a few snickered that if we were going to counsel them because they have had way too many at a wedding reception, what about very overweight witnesses that have a lifestyle of overindulgence?

The part in the meeting this week about jehovahs loving provisions for women. All about the certificate of divorce and remarriage. My wife wondered where the provision was for a wife with a rotten husband. There was no reciprocal way for her to fill out a form and leave. Pretty much the provision was for chattel marriage. The elder did pointedly say this divorcing cannot be done nowadays in the congregation.

Truth....
Our congregation did give rent money once to a family that in my opinion was lazy. I was never an elder so was not privy to the thinking. They have done meals for people after an operation. Other than that charity consists of finding a mark to give to someone or provide aid.
The material I referenced is in the midweek meeting talk references.

Did You Think The Majority of Elders Were “Qualified “?
by minimus inin my opinion, in a body of elders let’s say with 7 elders , 2 or 3 were pretty much on the ball.
they were reasonable, intelligent and moderate.
the others were either extremely extreme about everything or very liberal.. did you have qualified older men or were they all lousy to you?

Shadowclone:
Exactly. We have seen up and coming bright stars made elders at 24 with no humility or experience. It is related to nepotism

That comment about lieutenants hits home. Any old military guys here? Look up 90 day wonder. A long gone friend said it was officers, noncoms, and grunts

Confidential Letter from the Watchtower to all full time servants.
by pistolpete inthis is a confidential letter for all full time servants like cos, regular pioneers, bethel and branch workers so please don't tell anyone about this.. reminder 20,000 jws have died of covid and 99% of those who died or were hospitalized in the united states branch territory were not vaccinated, so whose fault is that???.
my question, how did they get the information that all these 20,000 jws were not vaccinated?.
hint; if you want to continue to share in spiritual privileges--------------------get vaccinated.

I think the confidential letter was read to us 2 weeks ago. Complete with a stern warningto obey. Then last week they had to walk it back because we do not have bethelites.
