thinking sometimes about my youth days and the stories my grandfather told me about our jw congregation.
do you recognize that your congregation was full of somehowe strange folks, very low educated, poor and simple?.
the po was an elder with some distance, with some personality acting intelligent and following the rules strict.. there was always a kind of scandal.
NO! Now the only converts are oddball. Narcissist, poor, grifters, not even home schooled education. Born ins are not staying.
There are a few born leaders in but most are pretending. The last good elders here died.
If you question timeliness they trot out the jehovah wants more people to destroy so is waiting. Or proof of something by reading a scripture of an event 2 or 3 thousand years ago.

so there was a time the awake magazine was printed every 15 days but now since jehovah is blessing them so much the magazine is printed once a year, and here you have the 1st edition for the year , which is nothing more than an informatial of how good of a charity they are to their local community.
so we read in the following box: what we are doing firstly, jehovah’s witnesses promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
12 million bucks? That wouldn't start to cover my neighborhoods last minor disaster
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.
Those houses may be decoys
Tony is buried next to Hoffa
all this political banter is exhausting, so i want to ask a question that has probably been asked before, so here it goes….
let’s try to keep this non-partisan - just give your opinion and why you think that way.. i’ll go first.
i think jws would generally lean to the right, but not by a whole lot.
Almost all I know lean dem. Big believers in the dole, gun control, reverse racism(equity), soft on crime, belief that money (other people's only) equates wickedness. Fully believe in the green stuff despite the evidence of the costs and constant climate change is all mans doing. They believe migrants all come through the turnstile. They look at a benevolent talking person ignoring her history (horizontal harris) and cannot look past the jerk personality of trump-he is not alone in his philandering
If you go to the congregation where a friend lives there are more educated upper middle class who covertly support guns for defense, personal responsibility. So maybe more conservative.
Abortion is not mentioned. This is a pro abortion(past pro choice) state.
I am middle right
perhaps we could post the pictures the wt have presented in their literature that depict their version of paradise here for comment/discussion:.
from: spirits of the dead—can they help you or harm you?
do they really exist?.
Journeyman
That was the Eternal Flame convention too
I spotted the light skirt and panty line right off
apparently, the downsizing is still happening and from what i read those let go are over 50!.
sad because these people expected to be lifers.
now they have to make their way in the world at an advanced age with no education or desirable skill!..
There was a union movement there once at least. 6 day weeks. No xmas, tgiving, labor day, 4th--tge holidays we take for granted or get overtime

so the following video is part of the latest jw broadcasting for september 2024 the script for this video is taken from the publication "immitate their faith" which is like "my book of bible stories" but for adults but is full of inaccuracies and outright falsehoods and here we deal with an outright fabrication about miriam, the sister of moses:.
under the subtitle "miriam the proud" we read: privileges and prominence bring blessings as well as dangers.
No wonder I never made elder. I bumped my wife every opportunity especially after meetings or travel to assemblies.
local announcement has even pimis amused.
wanting rooms for some event or refugees-not clear.
private room with private bath.
Once upon a time the pope came and tv asked for accomodations-almost all teens. City opened up big time. I think I would just as soon have catholic kids over JW hillbillies.
Back when dad n mom had 3 extra families with kids (they were old friends/family) for a convention; one bathroom, camp cots in the yard. I think grandma (not witness) 3 blocks away took some cousins so that made 2 bathrooms
local announcement has even pimis amused.

They read it again, or take 2, added travel trailers to the list and full bath instead of private. This time I was awake. LDC accomidations for maintainers.
Well maintained halls but they are not ours like in the old days when locals did it with local flairs
