hi friends, i have not been on this board in awhile, and i would like to get some thoughts from some of you.
i have noticed a change within my 4 siblings in approximately the last year and a half to 2 years regarding their communication with my mother and i. they have either phoned us, texted, emailed, or written a letter or card to us.
the conversation has been good, and on any topic that comes to mind.
It is probably mostly they tired of and see the bs. Covid did us all a favor with curtailed service and no frantic getting ready for meetings.
Remember; "thinkingest people" will question why the scriptural things like beard prohibition suddenly changed
i had to attend a family event recently which involved attending the kh.
before i went i had it in my mind this was going to be a different experience.
tbh i’ve had an interest in super hero socks.
My guess is wedding. Not a regular meeting.
someone else posted something a similar experience, this is one i had regarding my mom.my mom died last year.
she had been in failing health for years, but the last 2 year were pretty rough for her, with lots of visits to the hospital.
the last 4 months, it was the hospital, a skilled nursing facility/rehab unit, and finally, a nursing home.
I'm facing that situation in the near future. Being on ignore suits me but wife needs attention.
I had slim hopes the "total ministry" change would make a few visits, but no. The memorial services are given low priority so waiting a month or 2 us normal. Getting 10 minutes on the person is more than usual then the Sunday talk portion. The reception seems to be the draw because ALL witnesses crave a party.
A semi private remembrance is my plan.
imagine if all the governing body resigned and a new set of brothers came in and said we are very very sorry for all those who have been disfellowshipped and disassociated over the years.
we know many mistakes have been made.
we are really genuinely sorry to all those who have been hurt and especially those who have died and been hurt by these mistakes.
Won't happen and wouldn't work. The thing with disfellowshipping is it can be a frivolous charge, but at other times the wrong doing is something the congregation (and oublic) needs protected from. The details and implementstion are screwy as is the inconsistency
todays watchtower is very interesting on many levels.
they know that millions are disappointed.. https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=jwlshare&wtlocale=e&prefer=lang&docid=2023681.
i also found it interesting they talk about brother fred franz and show his picture.
The hope is ill founded. Based on broken dogma, broken promises, and made up stories
I hope to win the lotto. It actually exists and the stories if winners are not made up. Contrast to "witness" stories of resurrection, medical doctor evidence and the bs the WT pushes

Except the WT assumes guilt until the kangaroo court proves it. Usually CSA has an age difference. Of course the WT believes Lolita is everpresent.
just heard about khconf+ app replacing zoom for hybrid meetings at kngdom halls.
did a quick search here and didnt find any posts about it.
have i missed something?.

Proprietary app. Harder to hack; random long password that expires. More control on who and when which suits the borg and local elders.
Spyware to detect apostates is my hunch as an added feature
