  Halloween

  by NotFormer in

  just a bit of idle speculation.. on another thread, a publisher was reported to the elders for smoking 🚬, when all they were actually doing was holding a drinking straw in mcdonald's.. is it plausible to be questioned by elders about wearing something that looks a bit too much like a costume on the 31st of october?

  🧛🧜.

  for that matter, wearing red and green on the 25th of december?

  Has anyone heard of "Secret Disfellowshipping" by Jehovah's Witnesses? Menlo Park Ca. Congregation. Update.

  no doubt everyone has been following the juan viejo postings regarding the watchtower kingdom hall "grab" on jwn for the last couple of years.

  called the mrs and me to say "wow- you have to google this" we did...came here to jwn ...became members..and the rest is history.. in the last nine months i have been calling and emailing contacts in the silicon valley for verification on the societies theft and forced sale of the menlo park kingdom hall (near the new facebook heaquarters) because the story seemed...a little far fetched.

  every reliable contact i made has confirmed what juan reported.

  Nozombie. A lot of kingdom halls were and are acquired by deceptive means. Congregation resolutions are a joke.

  Keep files in an elders home. Slows raids on halls.

  Good old boys will still exist though. There is universal truth in "man dominating man to his injury"

  Bathing Daily Doesn’t Help The Planet

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.

  they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.

  a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

  I seriously consider showering in the yard during summer. Sponge baths could replace the d a ily shower-think camping

  Naturally. The trend toward beards was 10 or more years ago. I almost considered shaving now as a protest;no longer considered a rebel. But I do know how to trim properly. That MP has a scraggly mess!

  The New Busy Work

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for a hundred years the slaves were kept from having the time and energy to question anything and associate anywhere where they might be exposed to alternative views by having to keep up the busy work of going door to door.

  that avenue is drying up.

  and policy is changing.. the wt needs new busy work to keep the sheep engaged without thinking.. the wt fancies itself as an up and coming movie studio.

  Stop the Electric car solar power brainwashing Lies!!

  ford e.v cars lost the company 1.3 billion in three months!

  Wing. Need better than average income. I question heat pumps working in -15⁰c Temps. Pellet stoves are carbon generators. In floor heat is way more pleasant solar panels do belong on roofs instead of using up farm land like locally.

  Opinion:The real plan is small apartments, public transit, controlled mobility for all except the elite.

  Conundrum: I decrie the Appalachian open pit coal mine rape, am afraid of dark tunnels, admire working men, like big machinery.

  JW profit from disasters

  by enoughisenough in

  some time back i questioned about jw making money from doing relief work for disasters.

  i found this story on reddit and also noted some of the replies.

  it makes me wonder how many would have left their own jobs and paid their way, giving free labor and some supplying free materials if they had know what was going on behind the scenes.

  So what happens next...

  2. friends

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  The meeting for service is a detracting. It has to be individual groups so you are stuck with the same few. The old book study was actually the foundation with it's lesser formality and snacks. That is contradictory in a way.

  The hipster beards??? Most brothers are so developmentally suppressed they grow stubble, neck beards, or an unflattering cut. Don't forget the old guard who quietly still hate (dirty in their minds) beards but can't say so
