Contrast ( self,) righteous and good. A CO I think gave a talk on it. I, my dad, brothers never have been righteous but all were and are good.
Complying with Gods standards is not bad; but they really mean .org standards.

Watchtower online religion.
by asp59 inshould we refer watchtower as to a online religion now?
i mean we could discuss if they ever return to kingdom hall's in the future.

There is still a local arrangement. If halls sell it will break that down. The more they produce videos will work to it.
They will still need the local enforcers if the new studio thing gets built.

Loco needs on disfellowshipped
by road to nowhere inour talk was a stern thing about cutting off, not even answering phone.
they trotted out david and family sterling examples .
i dont know if this was a response to recent troubles in families with possible human interactions; or a " the whipping will continue until" talk required by the loving org.

The funeral talk has the admonition to attend meetings, come back, get baptized ( but first learn the answers to the questions) For everything there is a time and that ain't it. The smug declaring people unqualified for resurrection is cruel. Being DF has way more to do with the elders than justice
I would not call jw.org a community; money grubbing rule makers they be. There is community in a group of friends.

Did they ask him to give the prayer after the " bible study with the watchtower" ended? 😃
It is surprising he was not walked off the stage

Actually: churches give more support, as do communities.
I see no children, a younger attractive woman. In reality IF the story is even remotely true is an older woman with few prospects for remarriage and children estranged by the loving DF provisions.
Those if us in know how quickly we forget, and even when we don't our own relative poverty imposed by beliefs hampers any efforts.
Do not forget the "alone with someone " phobia. I was questioned about helping an attractive single because my wife did not accompany us on some errands.

" we're so proud of you for not missing meetings "
And if you miss meetings you may not be there to see him in the resurrection.
No mention of maybe should stay home in dangerous areas

Who complained?
Other than the danger of strangers making decisions which is a worry for all us, he was not harmed.
Every medical facility has a procedure for unconscious patients using the doctors judgement. But that could also be denying treatment or prolonging a ( seemingly) hopeless case.
I still want to die in my sleep, preferably in 100 years. The realization that I will us the cruelest part of waking up

Suit, shirt and tie
by JoenB75 ini always hated suit, shirt and tie and wondered why men of all walks of life should be forced to wear these uncomfortable clothes and spend the money on them.
it should be remembered some of the worst people wear them, like creepy joe, putin, dirty corrupt frauds in business, law etc.
and of course al capone.

Mandatory for zoom. Sets the mood they say. Half cameras are off.
Dont forget the dresses and skirts complete with hose. But no pants suits.
I have one very good suit for special occasions; usually a funeral for old workmates. I think it shows respect in certain settings. Of course the witness memorials are still zoom and a sermon. I will wear a tie if on camera to not do anything to detract for the bereaved.
