  Meetings via video conference

  so i just heard from a very reliable source that meetings, at least in some locations are now being video fed to the sheeple.

  and guess what?

  one can even comment and be seen by other members of the conference, for more encouragement.. i did see though that the service providing this video tie-in has as part of their tos this: you will receive a notification (visual or otherwise) when recording is enabled.

  Are YOU a JW parasite?

  by The Fall Guy in

  every single member of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses (yb16 p. 176 2015 grand totals) – which includes all of the governing body, all bethelites, every jw missionary, every circuit overseer, and all special pioneers – are worse than people without* faith!

  because they have all signed a vow of poverty which renders them as parasites, living off other people's earnings.

  where in the bible is that a “principle”?

  Had a CO sit here and tell all the world vacations he has done. Nothing I could afford. None was on his own money.

  COVID-19 another example showing local publishers/congregations are on their own?

  my area is a large city spread across two u.s. states and multiple different cities and counties.

  the area of 2.5 million is covered by parts of 4-5 different circuits.

  many of those attending meetings are at-risk individuals with health problems or age related risk.

  so we are a couple weeks into this crisis with the meetings being cancelled.

  and you would think the fds would have provided the sheep with helpful spiritual guidance in these times of need.

  wtf do they have jw broadcasting for then?

  Jofi

  The local hall has 4 congregations with over 100 each. I guess they could keep going for all the 24 hours from sundown. There has been NO contact since the gov shut down the world. Last instructions were to show up anyway even if all the other halls did shutter.

  I can do the memorial for wife, and maybe neighbor witness in way less time with no danger

  Post script

  The locals are decent, if sometimes a bit odd and definitely IQ chalkenged .

  Their jobs just disappeared too. They can no more afford to get sick than the rest of us.

  There has been no pastoral care. We do not need a pretend presentation, nor directions on how to shake our weewee when we go.

  Is there a way to get groceries if we are old? Can I give a ride to someone? How will I pay the rent (all my money went to the GB)
