  jws believe that today, the time we live in is the worst time ever in history.

  i know cause i just had a jw tell me yesterday this was the case.

  he pointed to covid, the russian-ukraine war, the high gas prices and the food shortage happening.

  so i pioneered for 10 years in the 1990's it was 90 hours a month with alot of country driving.

  i was shocked when brothers and sisters with full time jobs would park their brand new cars and go witnessing in my 20 year old orange datsun.

  i was barely living on $250 a week as a yeah...window cleaner.

  Once upon a time there was a disaster that caused t h e convention parking to be limited. The "rich" congregations got the limited passes for their Mercedes, Cadillac and jaguars. We working poor got street parking or shuttles.

  And they never involve a grandmother,

  Isn’t JW’s teaching of “the abomination that causes desolation” wrong?

  by Abraham1 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  what “the abomination that causes desolation” mentioned in mathew 24:15 means could be understood only by close followers of jesus because it was part of his personal discussion with them.

  by stopping to greet those whom they consider as “their enemies” jws are identifying themselves as “pagans,” according to jesus.

  (mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolation” that would appear as part of signs of “last days.”.

  Your question is too specific. Try: "isn't JW teaching wrong?".

  So what did the circuit overseers do during lockdown?

  by ozziepost in

  so reading that the dubs are going back to their kingdumb halls got me thinking, i guess they haven’t been getting their regular inspections from thier circuit overseers.

  if they haven’t had their meetings, the inspectors couldn’t visit - or did they?

  i’m intrigued.

  Ours was doing the zoom. Staying in. Instructions to not say hi if perchance you saw him out. Isolation!

  I sense panic. Not the carefully crafted actions like usual. Despite not monitoring this or other sites the tea leaves showed too much complacency and laxity. And probably a decline in donations. Can unused property be claimed as a charity? Get back in control and ramp up the coercion.

  Anyone on JWTalk? I looked at reddit but am not a member nor want to be. This place does fine for me.

  Locally supposed to start back April 3, last word. Nobody in my limited circle is in on the elders thinking or meetings.

  As a practical matter everything else locally is normal. Churches in session, restuarants open, door salesmen coming by. There is no reason to not resume the treadmill.

  I still have heard only one person who is thrilled to go back. A delay will cause more anguish

  There was the instructions released on how to.

  The odd thing is the providers of latte didn't get a heads up. Usually we can read the announcements complete with the secret stuff before the elders.

  Do we really need this many prayers in a day?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there’s no proof that prayers have any effect whatsoever, other than perhaps giving the person who prays a false sense of having done something.

  all claims that prayers have been answered are either anecdotal, fraudulent, delusional or are the result of either pure coincidence or confirmation bias.. how many prayers do you need in a day?.

  you get up and eat breakfast...you pray for another day of life.

  Recently a acquaintance said jehovah provided. A newer car for their disfellowshipped daughter who is still engaging in immoral conduct. Maybe it was actually their inherited money.

  You and could get together for an ale and have have good laughs. Too far though.

  Vacation property bought on pioneer wages.? I have a tent and caravan in the garden (trying out my English words)--in the 50s we really did do that for conventions with one bathroom, 3 or 4 families. Maybe out a few in the gaelic pidgin language translating home.😗

  The repair and safety concerns are unhappily a comment on the state of the brotherhood.
