  in one of the videos there was a mention of how hard the great eight work.

  i noticed that they had to decide how to use donated money---not dedicated money.

  a subtle difference..

  Sad thing about JW funerals

  2. experiences

  i live in a country that has had reasonably low levels of covid.

  bearing this in mind i’d like to discuss my thoughts on 2 jw funerals i attended during this time.. (funeral 1) even though there were no governmental restrictions at the time, the official stance of wt was the halls were shut down.

  despite this the local congregation decided to open the hall up for the service and a reception at a private premises.

  My Father's service at the Kingdumb Hall was a joke. Pre covid. The first five minutes where about my dad and the rest of the service was about if you want it see him again, you better become a JW. And if you use to be a JW, you'll better come back. That was the jist of it in 30 minutes. Don't get me started on the shunning.

  The Watchtower—Study Edition | January 2022

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. bible

  the watchtower—study edition | january 2022. during the great tribulation, gog of magog’s forces may try to assault us in our homes.

  but we can take comfort in knowing that jesus and his angels are aware of what is happening and will defend us (see paragraph 13).

  13. when gog of magog attacks, why will we appear to be vulnerable, but what reason for confidence will we have?

  More and likely their letters get put in the trash. And if they call, they get no answer or someone like me that will ask them tough questions that will cause them to end the call.

  2. friends

  i ask this now because i have been living in this town for the past 14 years and the circle of friends i have now i have never let on i am an ex jw.. i`m talking about 30-50 people at least.. not that the subject has ever really come up , but i think they would be shocked / amazed that i was a ( i hate this word ) a "devout" jw for 32 years going around knocking on peoples doors trying to convert them to the religion .. yet every now and again i get tempted to.. how say you ?.

  My close friends know. But people I meet I just don't talk about my past. It's too ugly to bring up.

  So let's discuss the framework of gods plan for a paradise earth

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so after jehovah kills 8 billion people "for not knowing him'" he is going to resurrect 100 billion humans because " they didn't know him" .

  the 8 million jw's will be tasked with educating these ones.

  that's 1 jw for every 12k resurrected ones.
