i had 50 years in.
here's a few (personal) observations to live by:.
1. the one true religion is not here.
Maybe true religion is agnosticism. Every culture seems to have a need for explanation of life and creation.
In my case the higher power better hurry because I am getting old. A separate spirit doesn't fit because there would be an overflow from all the discarded bodies
the war in the ukraine has been going on for 2+ years now, yet very little has been put forth by the org on how the witnesses are doing there.
especially of interest would be just how the org has implemented their relatively new 'alternative service is ok' policy in lieu of real military service in a place where warfare is actually occurring.
yet nothing is forthcoming from the gb on this matter, or any other issues, really.. does anyone know what's been going on the regarding the witnesses there?.
There are refugees here on USA. A sister hired one for handy work-said he was Russian, then Ukrainian. She follows the news closely.🤔
I don't know how they got here but I am sure who did NOT provide an airline ticket
does anyone know how many hours were required to be a pioneer back in or around 1970?.
etude..
They invented the leave a mag at laundromat early, call on a not at home before the rendezvous; pioneer shuffle; standing at door long time, hand writing letters, bs at the BS; snd creative ways to lie
how many of you bought a nice sedan, suv, or even a minivan back in the days that you described as your "armageddon car" that you would care for and it would last until the end arrived?.
i was driving a 1974 plymouth volare wagon in 1992 when i managed to get an 8-year old buick century.
it was low mileage and had a very luxurious interior.
Retirement car. Not enough money to upgrade now

Update 3. They created the situation with overblown rules. Add the stunted intellectual development of most withesses. Beach wear etc does not play into it at all.
I had to look up aloha shirt etc. BTW their 100 years ago picture is more like 200. 1920s suits and skirts are very similar to now
i used to attend the meetings and was baptized about 30 years ago but i haven't gone to the meetings or associated with any one i new from the congregation for around 15 - 20 years.
i want to get back to studying but i am not ready to go to any meetings.
other than the watchtower and awake what book is used these days for people just starting to study with jehovah's witnesses?.
In search;
The conductor asks the questions to keep the thinking inside the box

No way in hell would I out anyone (if I knew) to an unknown person.
If you are serious do not take a bible, WT, book or logo with you. You run the risk of literally losing your head
you can't make this shit up!
lol!!!!
someone over on reddit posted this illustration from some wt publication or website or whatever.
All the time in illustrations you find copies of famous paintings. I'm sure one day we will find an article on gambling with dogs playing poker copied. Strong genetics in that whole crowd. The one boy is standing on top of his younger brother.
on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.
Lawdy. And I thought it was the riveting material that affects us. They wouldn't lie about exile would they
as your family considers its disaster preparedness plan, please ensure that the secretary has up-to-date contact information for you and your emergency contact.
also, we have re- peatedly seen good results when brothers and sisters are prepared with go bags and are ready to obey direction when they face various kinds of disasters.
please be sure you have a go bag, and review its contents at least once a year.
The local city just sent out instructions to have go bags. A good idea.
My service guy is an old fart, the assistant is severely diabetic. Sure hope a long legged woman is in the group.
As for guns--yes I do and will.
