so my wife ran into a elder i new 10 years ago and invites him to dinner!!!!!
he arives and gives me a bear hug...love bombing!
he started talking about armegedon is really very very close.
He started talking about Armageddon is really very very close.
Oh no, and we've already booked our summer holiday for May next year!!!
Nevermind, it was so close, and the end of the end of the end even in the year I was born (1967) from them, so I MIGHT just be ok!!!😉
i just read this.
don’t know if anybody here has seen the video.. the intended result of this is to obviously scare ‘faders’ out of the shadows.
now, they are being threatened with loss of association with their loved ones and friends.
And it's not a cult!!!!!!!
...is now owned by etsy.
just happened across this.
(maybe you all knew it but it was newz to me) finally made it to 1000 posts...whew..
Amazing!
I noticed one of my old halls is now a 7th Day Adventist Church - the inside is EXACTLY the same, 2nd school, chairs, everything!!
It surely is speeding up now!
hour quotas timeline.
back in the old days long before 1952.
“after staying in our ‘home’ for two days we decided that if we were going to meet our quota of 140 hours for the month.
In the 1980's I worked 11am to 4pm every day and regular auxiliary pioneered - 60 hrs a month.
I started my ministry at 6am, doing street work to try and get my hours in before work.
I got no praise, thanks or recognition with those awkward hours.
Instead, EVERYONE quizzed me aggressively about why I wasn't a REGULAR pioneer doing 90 hrs a month!!
Back then, you could NEVER do enough.
Now, I very rarely, if ever see any local witnesses near me on the ministry, or even setting up any jw carts any more!
the video on apostates in the congregation and how to deal with them at the 18 minute mark.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/1kssfr9/2025_convention_apostate_video/.
so by now, a lot of us have seen a clip from the "apostate" video from the 2025 convention.
Thank god the elders are on hand to answer all these difficult questions for those having sincere doubts about the jw cult!!! 😉😉😉😉
has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.
does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?
at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..
Would be interested to see a random watchtower study paragraph from each decade up to date to see how simplistic/childlike the 'study' articles have really become!
I remember when young being perplexed about so many of those articles. Many well over 20 paragraphs long!
the destruction of sodom and gomorrah, by the english painter john martin.
it was painted in 1852.. how has the watchtower depicted this event in all their artwork over the years?.
have they been influenced by this well known work of art?.
And finally, another worldly pic - my favourite:
