''No pension or plans for retirement''
That's because that's something the Borg will never tell it's followers to do. It's always the ''end is right around the corner''..

So true!

My father who has been an elder since the 1970's confidently told me a few years ago that the worldwide covid problem was definitely the start of the great tribulation.

I said "wow dad, what scripture from the bible are you quoting there?" He glared at me and said "I'm right, and you will see that I am right.."

Then when the 'Russian military operation' began he said " This is now the start of the great tribulation."

Again I asked, "What scripture are you quoting from to come to that conclusion dad?" More glares and long angry stares at me...

In person attendance

by road to nowhere in

we got the inevitable letter today.. meet, associate and "encourage" in person unless sick or infirm.

also dress up for zoom if you must use it.

locally over half are on zoom, 3/4 no picture.

A close family relative told me: 'the governing body have declared the global covid pandemic to be now over, but many lacking faith are refusing to attend in person and are just watching via zoom meetings.'

I said, wow, what medical credentials do the governing body have to make such a sweeping worldwide statement??

Long earie, uneasy silence..... then relative stated aggressively: 'anyway, the governing body feel most people refusing to attend are not really sick and don't qualify to just watch via zoom'....

It was said with such hatred and venom I was shocked by the power of the governing body's mind control over my relative...

I won't be going back...

Is WT Influencing Dubs To Check On Other Dubs' Activities Via ZOOM And Otherwise?

by HiddlesWife in

the reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".

i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.

so, is the above a thing nowadays?
