"Give me a break! One meeting and covid is exploding?"
Wishful thinking.
That a text went out shows GB induced paranoia.

Back to the Meetings------Back to Covid.
by pistolpete ina lot of pimos are reporting that returning to the meetings is backfiring in that covid is spreading among the members returning.. post;.
so last saturday was my first meeting back in person and well it completely backfired.
last night i got a text from my group overseer saying that someone in the hall tested positive for covid and that we need to get tested(great 🎉).. honestly i kinda expected this.

Most I know around here are left leaning with out admitting it.
A friend who lives in a higher socio/economic area seems to have people who are right wing. Except he likes biden.
True, Pollsters start with a conclusion then frame their questions.

the cheap trick for believers...
by inbetween inyesterdays wt study (wt january 2022) stressed the issue, to set aside time to deepen the relationship to god.. in order to strengthen one`s faith, it was encouraged to ask god anytime for basically anything.
and each time god answers your prayers the faith grows.. now, each one of us has wishes, desires, hopes.
some naturally will fail, some will come true.

If I ever win lottery I will claim divine direction.
As for studying, best to be a slow reader.
If you casually follow trends in churches you will find fads. Things like the "way". The ever present obedient child who listens and is saved from a lion/ car/ river. And my favorite: letters thanking mom and dad for joining army/ college/ no college (pioneer). The truth there is when we become adults we find dad wasn't dumb.

The big puzzle is "stuff". Is the cosmos eternal, and why; or did a higher power make it. Then again why, and whence came the eternal being.
Are the galaxies part of a giant molecule, and our molecules decrease to things we cannot see to infinity? get out your bong.😃

Agnostic. I want to believe but see the internal politics in JWs; the illogical waiting for more converts; the crazy ever-changing doctrine; the lack of intervention in things "we" would cure. If god is up there he is not interested.
My experience with " babylon" is mostly funerals, a little bit of seeing real charity. The social structure there is at least as good or better than the " true religion".

Jw's sending me invites and letters, I don't get it.
by Foolednomore infirst off, i have made it real clear with jw's my thoughts on being a jw.
i'm out, there is no coming back.. second, i'm on their " do not call list" .. so why now all of a sudden my mailbox is getting bombed 💣 by their memorial invites and letters?.
don't they follow their do not call list?

The do not call list is only as good as the volunteer servant handling it and the little old lady writing the letter. If they are not just using a city directory which has no information.
I get loan offers, house offers, new church in the area, charity all the time. Easily thrown away.
Wait until they resume door knocking, then it will be worse. I know, I was territory servant once and got yelled at for not having the secret elders (I wasnt) directions on the do not calls. Funniest part was after a hostile person made a scene they sent 2 elders back to apologize. One a pushy type, the other too dim to catch on to body language
