I know personally some about this case. Good old boy with a highly influential family running things. The allegations hold waterin my opinion.

What`s the reason some of you think JW`s are in decline ?
by smiddy3 infrom what i can see no such thing is happening.i became a jw in 1960 and remained for about 30 years and the numbers of active jw`s today in the world are far greater than they were back then.. and here in australia the numbers are much higher than they were back then .. so i don`t see that their in decline or have any worries about losing support .. don`t the numbers speak for themselves ?.
is it just wishful thinking on your part ?.

The WT web interface is not easy to navigate. Therefore things are missed, even for those who look. The breaking news is inevitably days or weeks old. JW talk is probably the real source of news. Alas, I flubbed which book to answer questions from and got blocked. Mostly the news I seek is from a concern for people, not the borg.

My old congregation is being shuttered
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.
it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.
the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

The first picture shows why there is no blessing: no blue square. Driving distance really hurts
When zoom is curtailed it will mean missing meeting, which I look forward to.

American Healthcare: How your system works

Any " fix" has unintended consequences. Portability between jobs, waiting periods for coverage, gap insurance, deductibles......
The waiting and denial still goes goes on, according to insurance requirements and hospital criteria
Remember Obama care was written by lobbyists for insurance companies and hospitals
Theoretically preventive care is good. Then remember things like soda taxes/ limits, safe injection,

Medicare pays 80%
Obamas Affordable Healthcare had astounding deductibles like 10-12000 for a family and the premiums were reimbursed by a tax refund. Dental is left out.
The emergency rooms are overrun with people using them for primary care.
Costs rose to match the " free" care
Obama was hated for pushing his version of socialism and inflating race troubles. Look at the Biden cabinet.
We hear anecdotes about Canada and England and Europe but no facts

Link between relationships and health/happiness
by ExBethelitenowPIMA ineven though i’m agnostic so will not commit to either intelligent design or chance, i love being part of the congregation for the close personal relationships.. there is such a great atmosphere inside the congregation it really is like a family and you don’t get this anywhere else.. a real friend is someone you can rely on when you are in need.
if things go wrong for you and you are going through a hard time you know real friends will be there for you.
as long as you didn’t bring it on yourself by going against gods law then you have to prove you are repentant first of course.. there is a lot of research now saying that good friends is essential for healthy and happiness.

There is not a great atmosphere locally. The family in is the only reason to stay

Confirmed: CO Discourages Zoom
by XBEHERE ini can confirm that the co during one of his service talks stated that zoom is a provision for elderly, infirmed, as well as people who might need it on occasion due to health reasons, otherwise you are expected to be in person at meetings and in the ministry.
this had to come down from the top.
maybe they do not want to put it in a gb update or broadcast since that would be too public i suppose.

It seems to be the new outline. Same talking point here last month. What I noticed was there were no pictures on, and few mikes on after that. I am sure they will implement a monthly password change
It is still a cost benefit deal. Cost: The infirm ones need help staying home and using a computer, much less traveling and dressing up. Benefit: nothing, boring simpleton parts, no love shown.
You cannot visit on zoom as a couple windy loudmouths dominate.

If dad dies and mom calls don't answer. That is the gist.
They can cover and deny but it doesn't change the (forced) lack of natural affection
