  Disaster preparedness

  by ElderBerry in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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.

  By all reports on 9 11 they locked the doors and ordered everyone back to work. I'll take my chances with Mormons, KKK, or such

  Waking Them Up When They Feel Safe

  by KerryKing in

  good morning all, i would love some genuine advice please.. i have an old friend who is still in the org, but has never been the very staunch type.

  however, she is going through a very rough patch in life, (past deeds from youth caught up and now is in prison) and i reached out to her by old fashioned snail mail.. by her reply she sounds more pimi than ever and finding some sort of comfort in the literature.

  would i be wrong to attempt to wake her up, would that actually be a cruel thing to do right now?

  Kingdom hall cleaning

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  what are your memories of hall cleaning?.

  i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.

  the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

  Safety meeting! Complete gear. Not the old days with a donut and coffee. Add the tankless water heater that delivers lukewarm water if you wait

  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

  Any news on JWs in the Ukraine?

  by careful in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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

  Armageddon Car

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  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
