with the change to reporting field service and now allowing people to repent during the gt, presumably up until armageddon, i'm assuming that the "hailstones" message is now permanently on hold.
can someone explain this to me; am i understanding this right?.
The hailstones message will be implemented with weasel words of some sort giving an out.
I remember a calendar from 60+ years ago with bombers saturating bombing, burning cities and a family going door to door in suburbs. No way to remember if it was a back call or a " told you so".
Remember to have your razor and necktie in your go bag, abd some calling cards.
1. doctrinal changes how new light comes about.
the gb raise questions then talk about it, unless it’s unanimous they wait, then years later talk again if it’s unanimous it then gets announced as new light.. 2. the gb are imperfect and sometimes make mistakes.
they are not to apologise or even admit they were wrong.
Several observations
They already are saying " about" 1914
The joking is insider knowledge of how gullible people are
No way will they soften their DF stance
so everyone knows the “big news” of this past weekend, no more reporting of hours, placements, return visits, etc.
beginning november 1, jws just tick a box indicating whether they “shared in any form of the ministry during the month”.. so there was a brief comment by a redditor that seems like a brief joke “throwaway comment” but after thinking about it….why not?.
the idea is, what is “any form of the ministry”?
I count time on here. An acquaintance told me shaving makes you " look" like a JW. so does a car salesman outfit. More time. Is trimming my beard time?
The ministry I actually like and practice is good works helping others, both in and out
could a member please direct me to the current jw funeral talk or outline for a deceased jw.
members of my wife's family will be attending such meeting for their deceased piece of shit father and i would like them to be prepared for what they can expect.
nothing good, or what they would be hoping for i would surmise.. for the love of cheeses..
5 to 10 minutes is a stretch. Read the obituary from the memorial leaflet, mispronounce a couple names, tell about Adam, Jesus sacrifice, the opportunity to study and get baptized so you can preach too. Then a prayer and recorded song (usually he will remember the work if his own hand). Then a reception (forbidden at the hall)somewhere else which is one of the few social events allowed.
i didint search to see if its been talked about.
big news for jws sheeple , no more reporting.

I betcha the local hounded will still keep up the good old boys club and their perceived " being seen" mantra
when i was interested in things jw two decades or so ago, i never came across these mentions of hailstones.
it crops up so often now that it's almost a meme!
when did it become a thing in jw speak, and what does it refer to?.
Time to resurrect the Kevin class posts
an elder with half a brain (and they must exist 🧐) is going to see the writing on the wall with the way the wt is manoeuvring them into taking the fall over csa cases.
can an elder in good standing step down with no consequences, official or social?.
I resigned as a Ms, they accepted very fast. Toldme it was my first good idea. It was. The CO was actually kinder

I mix up the messages and prophecy but I thought one (of many) applications was the "hard" messages delivered post 1919. The other applications of things get confusing and mixed
Does the ice melt and extinguish the fiery message? Or was it the bowls contained water?
One thing sure: they are always right even when wrong. And the evil slave is just a story which cannot happen. Honest, just ask them.
this video starts slow, but is worth the watch.

By standing away from the teaching, the GB are apostate! As for having association, I know at least one elder who regularly keeps in touch with a son who wrote " the letter"
this highlights just how flawed the jw thinking is.
recently, it had been arranged for another jw to take my father to the convention in a couple of weeks time.
a few days ago my father is informed that his ride has refused to drive him due to his underlying health conditions.
I personally know elderly who are told to attend right after surgery; pee bag, draining wounds and all. zoom is falling into disfavor. Last streaming video I saw had a built in delete feature so it quit working after 2 weeks.
