  the main reason most got the vaccine was to protect others.

  now they’re being told they can spread it just as easily as the unvaccinated.

  The omicron variant is the rapidestestest spreading now. BUT it has the mildest symptoms. Still worried about delta here.

  I still either can't get it or gave had it without knowing take your choice. Booster # 3 is 2 weeks wait when I call but news says it is easily available. Meantime people who have had the boost are either sick, no affect, or in between. Doc tells me to figure at least 2 days in bed

  Statistically one 1 old man passing is insignificant. But again, I am very significant to a dozen or so people. Most of us will die with the exception of true believers

  2021 Annual Meeting Talk, "I Will Never Abandon You"

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  this 19 minute talk by “governing body” member samuel herd lacks enthusiasm, energy and mostly reads his script.

  looks like he was forced to talk about something he no longer believes, but goes along what was written to appease the rest of the ''governing body.''.

  mr. herd says, ''sometimes we have to make adjustments.

  Well he is old. I remember the CO losing enthusiasm after the generation thing. I sure did.

  Is Bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding the prelude to the great tribulation?

  is bible prophecy now starting to come true regarding a prelude to the great tribulation?.

  full disclosure: i still don't believe in the bible's claims about the existence of the supernatural, even of jehovah god (i'm an atheist and a scientific/philosophical naturalist), but i am asking this question because recent events are starting to seem (to me) to fit well the description of some prophecies in the bible.

  consider the following.. several hours ago (on 11-26-2021) as i was about to enter a local fred meyer store of my city (in suburb or small city in the metro area of a large city) a person i know told me that a moment earlier a person left the store in a hurry with a cart load up with unpaid merchandise (i think i was told it was groceries but i don't remember that for sure).

  NO

  Every end time religion sees the latest things as proof. If you consider that these things are supposed to be greater than ever before we are not even close

  i remembered a time i was a reg.

  pioneer and my service overseer in my congo was asking one of the regular pioneers during the meeting with the co. how powerful is the co to the body of elders and how powerful is the body of elders to the co?

  The CO is more a white glove inspection and auditor with a pep talk thrown in. If you think he aint powerful cross him.

  Lightning from heaven 🤯

  Actually a reprimand and reminder, maybe privately. We aint sd supposed to enjoy anything except spiritual stuff and it is envious to wish for a day off, vacation, family get together. They are getting their reward in full. ( we get no reward at all but dont realize it until old age

  CO retirement severance?

  2. friends

  a friend says the wt gives a substantial sum to retiring cos. he says one bought land and built near him, a desirable rural area.

  i think it must have been saved green handshake money or inherited.. btw this man also thinks the gb are the smartest men alive..

  What's actually recorded in publisher record cards?

  by optimisticskeptic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems to be unclear if things like public or private reproofs and details around those events being recorded and traveling with you.

  it seems like the details are largely part of whatever judicial paperwork there is and not necessarily attached to your publisher card permanently.

  i changed congregations a few years ago and it appears the letter the body wrote only covered the most recent issue and said nothing of a reproof that had happened a few years prior.

  Beforexthey became hidden they just listed name, baptism, annointed, and sales record. There must be other secret files.

  Reducing the book study to allow a GB update is fine by me. 10 minutes material to fill 30.

  Some of us wondered about the pioneer push at the time
