'Theocratic Careers' and the Covid Pandemic

by eyeslice in

the watchtower has always banged on about not pursuing worldly careers and that best career was 'theocratic service.

but now i am wondering what line they will take.

let's have look at the options;.

DPA Blood ASAP

by manicmama in

jw
friends

i am in need of the current copy of the newest dpa blood card as some of the jw's in my mothers congregation are asking about if she signed the latest copy after she passed today.

i am curious as to why they are asking about this specifically and not offering condolences on the loss of my mother.

there has been some shady interactions leading to my mother requesting me to talk to certain elders to request that certain people not interact with her further.

Derek Chauvin - The Right to a Fair Trial

by Simon in

anyone following the derek chauvin trial?.

if you are actually following it, not just listening to the media, you will likely realize that there is a huge gap between what is going on in court and what is being reported in the media.. if the trial was fair, i think he should be acquitted.

there is plenty of reasonable doubt about the cause of death (his dealer doesn't want to testify because he could be guilty of 3rd degree murder for selling him a fatal amount of fentanyl) and even doubt over whether the officer even had his knee on the guys neck or did anything counter to what they were meant to do as per policy.. but is it fair?

Did satan rebel on other planets? And does the ransom work up there?

I have seen 2 UFOs. The explanation may lie in military experiments that didnt work.

Or physical laws from a 4th dimension.

watchtower's exemplarily obedient woman, Abigail, Mary and Jesus.

by waton in

for lurkers, this past week's wt study.

women, obedient to headship.

wt message to wt ladies: do like abigail, ignore your husband's initiative, who might have had his own strategy to rid the country of the marauding outlaws for good, and instead kowtow to "the anointed" aka us, the gb and elders.

What if abigail had been ugly? Would david have been as receptive? There was actually a comment that jehovah put naaman out of the way so david could have her.

Big Cull of Foreign Language Groups and Congregations

by eyeslice in

i overheard mrs eyeslice listening to '2021 governing body update 3' yesterday.

apparently, they have started ditching foreign language groups and congregations as these weren't exactly roping anyone in.

of course there is a positive spin on all this - '4,000 plus elders freed up to serve in local language congregations' and of course there has been immensely positive feedback from various branches about the benefits of this.. i suspect though there will be an awful lot of elders who were serving as king pins in these congregations who are going to have their noses put out by going back to local language congregations where they will barely be used.

Did you catch that almost all indigenous language speakers also speak the majority language?

Who ever thought anyone would travel 25 miles to attend meetings in Mongolian pidgeon? Are they selling off remote translating offices?

wt's idea of the ideal family headship

by waton in

for lurkers.

this week's wt study.

quick summary: .

road to nowhere

Ozzie and Harriet approve. I see successful marriages despite all the help. did anyone else notice the box comment on one flesh mentioned elders are NOT part of the marriage, same as inlaws. Despite the theocracy being most important dealing with inlaws is part of the deal.

Now for reality: my wife keeps the checkbook, ( I know one man who says that's wrong, if I had his spendthrift wife it would , )chooses how the home is run, and I defer to her judgement most times. I also know her weaknesses and will defend her against anyone.
