  In my country the preaching work is over

  by cookiemaster in

  the jws in my country can't preach to anyone these days and they're going crazy.

  i live in romania and initially during the covid-19 lockdown they were very enthusiastic about preaching.

  they've since held daily "field service meetings" on zoom.

  It is the same here in the US. They pretend to do preaching work but not really. Very comical to see it and a huge waste of time as usual.

  hey so i won't go too much into the details though there would be so much more to say....in a nutshell, you are repentant but not enough so we disfellowship you ....i asked, can you clarified this "not enough repentant" please ?as one of the reason of not being repentant : " you didn't put on your camera during zoom meetings !!!

  " they yelled at me, like a bunch of wolves against a sheep....so :.

  - no scriptural basis.- abuse of power.- my phone can't handle to have its camera on more than 20 minutes.then they yelled " jehovah does want you in the congregation" !like you are not welcome here....strangely to me, isaiah 1:18 and the story of the prodigal son tells a complete different story....well the whole bible is about love forgiveness and repentance !!

  Stay away from the elders. I would seek counseling with those who deal with cults. And give it time. Your mate needs to see the bullshit for themselves.

  If they require your video. Put images of yourself on loop and play it when on zoom. Problem zoom. Then you can do whatever you want during that time.

  Do You Think We Will Ever Get To “Normal” Again?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  will we ever be able to congregate together for a concert or a theater?

  will we forever be wearing a mask at walmart?

  will restaurants and bars allow people to eat drink and simply hang out?.

  I think once they come out with an antivirus and most of everyone gets the virus in one form or another. It will flatten out and things will slowly get back to normal.

  Why don’t couples have to remarry when becoming JWs?

  by enigma1863 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  you have to get baptized even if you were baptized in several other religions so why don’t they require you to remarry your spouse, especially if you were married as a mormon or muslim and had multiple wives.

  some countries legally allow polygamy so you couldn’t necessarily just go by the laws of the country right?

  these problems probably never come up though because i bet not many flds or muslims become jws.

  Craziness of WT! When I was divorced from my first wife. According to the elder body ( 3 dumdasses) I could not remarry unless I go back to my wife. WT does not except the second marriage. Not legal in their eyes but ok with the state!?!
