  i overheard a discussion between two jws, they said that when someone is disfellowshipped, they are asked to hand their blood card back to the elders.

  i had never heard of this before, is this correct?.

  Who knows. I knew one DF person who still had a key and let us in the hall before the elders showed up.

  My doctor gave me a far better directive than the preachy blood card

  This week's midweek. Pretty cheeky to counsel on not loving money when they do. My budget includes a small amount for my wife's kingdom hall. Cost benefit analysis tells me to not give a dime to GB. They raid excess funds anyway.

  Is there a lot of Circuit Overseers that have woken up? I say Yes!

  there have been a few exjw circuit overseers that have woken up, left the organization and have posted their experience on exjwreddit.

  all of them deleted their accounts not long after for fear someone might figure out who they were.

  it’s not easy waking up as a circuit overseer.

  Pidgin English

  https://www.jw.org/hwc.

  i just discovered this translation into 'hawai'i pidgin' and for some reason found it very amusing.

  they even dubbed the caleb and sophia cartoons into this dialect.. not because i look down on pidgin speakers in any way, more about the way translations like this are revealing and telling in unintended ways..

  Let me guess. A million dollar translating office for a few hundred speakers who use it only for tourists.

  How about a run down tenement for ghetto speakers? More of them.

  abc news, stephanopoulos settle defamation lawsuit with trump, pay $15 million, apologize.

  trump has started winning even before he takes office.

  in other news, it is unclear what will be the fate of fbi director christoper wray who authorized the invasion of trumps home and the rummaging through his wife's underwear drawer.. .

  Yesterday's WT study; giving to help others of course mentioned contributions to jw.org. the example was covid. What a crock. The disaster was manmade from start to finish with over reactions and stupidity. The org provided aid consisted of government boxes of soft potatoes and moldy cabbage. I'm sure any good produce was skimmedby the bigwig elders.

  Who Directs the Activitie$ and Doctrines of the Hovering Body?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovah’s witnesses boast that theirs is a “spirit-directed organization”.. see w88 3/1 pp.

  10-17 (my life in jehovah’s spirit-directed organization).

  they believe that their deceased founder, charles taze russell (who faced legal action by his wife for inappropriate behavior in his maids bedroom), is directing the modern-day work of jehovah’s witnesses.. after the founder, c t russell died, it was stated that he was still directing the work from heaven.. "though pastor russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the harvest work.

  Looks like a photo bombed picture. Did they really assemble or is it another photo shop.
