in the latest jw broadcast, anthony morris the turd gives a talk about donations.
to camouflage this, he starts and ends the talk by saying that isn't actually what he's doing.
first he starts with the usual disclaimer, 'wt has never begged for money like christendom and we never will', you know the drill.
The local congregation sends about 1200 a month on through. You can not earmark donations either, like saying Haiti, but t all goes to the general fund.
When i had accounts the report at least specified expenses; gas, electric, water, co apartment share, forwarded funds. Now they say we spent 1800, took in n 1600, and then when everyone chips in they say we have an extra x,000, so "resolve" to send that amount in.
nehemia gordon, in his book "shattering the conspiracy of silence", argues that "yehovah" is god's name pronunciation and it has never got completely lost, giving a linguistic explanation.
what do you think about that?.
Who cares? Witnesses are right that the name differentiates the Bible god from others and use the pronunciation in whatever language.
It has been surmised that if we could go back 250 years the accents and pronunciation would be foreign to us. Listen to an ocracoke islander, gullah, scot, aussie. I personally love accents. Recording has homogenized languages.
i have been out of the borg for years!
do circuit overseers still visit the congregations?
via zoom?
A dislike!? COs are still sequestered so must be ready for a rubber room by now.
Zoom talks, elder meetings, service.
Zoom funerals are the big insult beyond that JW memorial talks are already horrid
i thought jiles grey response to this question was interesting:.
"i think that it demonstrates just how ineffective the jehovah’s witnesses’ door to door evangelising is.. in 2019 there were 303,866 people baptised.
this was during a year when the preaching work was in full swing.. in 2020 there were 241,994 people baptised.
With people being home more with fewer recreation outlets I expect an increase in around 10 years, you know the adult decision thing.
As far as I know, yes. It is one of their more reasonable thoughts. The conspiracy theorists in general always call the mark things like a literal tattoo, and now a microchip. Maybe your vaccination card and facial recognition.
The movie Idiocracy had bar codes
vaccinations.
how many deaths were instigated which could be prevented?watchtower policies against vaccines left faithful sheep vulnerable to horrible consequences.antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, anthrax, cholera, plague, typhoid, tuberculosis, and more were developed through the 1930s.. 1921 - "vaccination never prevented anything and never will, and is the most barbarous practice" - golden age oct 12, 1921, p.17.
1923 - "vaccination, summed up, is the most unhygienic, barbaric, filthy, abhorrent, and most dangerous system of infection known.
Interesting that in 1945 blood stransfusions were allowed. Prohibition came from pharisees.
70 years ago mom mentioned missionaries had to be vaccinated so they changed the belief. She was a keen observer of the dark side of jw
mexican/central american branch letter to all bodies of elders.
media, or to release news involving jehovah'switnesses.. .
the video that discusses the letter is in spanish, here:.
Methinks something is afoot. Any scandals coming up in Mexico?
sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.
they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.
although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..
Maybe replace it with a blue magic sign.
which one do you prefer?
zoom meetings or at the kingdom hall?
.
Zoom. Except there are no snow days
so this liberal asshat actually wants rape victims to work with the rapists.

Truth b known
The forcing a victim to be arounf their attacker brings to mind the tyoical judicial committee
