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.
Life expectancy? Are childhood deaths factored in? Life expectancy at age 20 may be a better metric. I always figured the 70 to 80 Bible thing always holds true. Someone here did point out to me that in Rome lots of skeletons were around 40.
I just watched some Civil War and 2% of the male population was killed. That would certainly be sobering. And skew the tables.

There are ways to scrimp. Patch shoe soles with cardboard, cold showers, bathe only on Saturday, turn heat down, wipe with fewer layers, dry and reuse dental floss.
Just ask the government, they know how peasants should Iive.

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.

Any catholics here? Confession in the box, then discussed by all the priests, advice from the pope, follow up my different priests?
And they never involve a grandmother,
what āthe abomination that causes desolationā 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 ātheir enemiesā jws are identifying themselves as āpagans,ā according to jesus.
(mathew 5:43-48) thus they cannot correctly understand what the abomination that causes desolationā that would appear as part of signs of ālast days.ā.
Your question is too specific. Try: "isn't JW teaching wrong?".

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.
