  Half hearted JWs compared to past generations

  by JohnR1975 in

  is it just me or has there been a massive change in jws of late?.

  when i grew up in the cult they had a real sense of urgency and would do an hour minimum, these days it’s not even ten mins before coffee break.. same goes for everything else, it’s half hearted .

  When the GB 'locked down' the JWs over Covid it did irreparable harm.

  the truth is most active jws would probably agree that most of the teachings are not right, the new thing is that we just don’t know.. the governing body now say they get things wrong and make mistakes as they are not inspired and not infallible.

  yet they are still to be trusted no matter what?.

  they are not trusted.

  In addition to refusing the vaccine, I also complained about the KHs being locked down and the door-to-door work being banned. I didn't want to 'get with the program'. I ended up going inactive for 2 years over that mess.

  I am speaking from my own perspective. I was one of the few that refused the vaccine. It was not received well.

  After the divisions the GB caused by coercing the Covid vaccine, I hope they don't make that mistake again.

  They won't fade as much as change from what they are now. Doctrinal and organizational changes will continue.

  this is a question that has preoccupied the minds of the governing body " when will the last anointed be taken up to heaven?

  " when did this nonsense begin ?

  Why did God stop intervening in human affairs and deliverance of his people?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the bible is full of stories of god intervening on behalf of those that had trust and faith in him.

  he rescues his people from various battles, trials and challenges from their enemies.

  the rescued individuals or communities are quick to offer praise and gratitude to god for his mighty acts on their behalf.. the story of the israelites’ exodus from egypt and the parting of the red sea is a prime example of god’s powerful deliverance in the bible.

  Jehovah still intervenes in human affairs. He's just been more subtle. When Jesus returns, the 'miracles' will start again.

  Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.

  practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.

  now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

  I'm glad I didn't get the vaccines/boosters. I've never had to worry about side effects.

  Jehovah's Witnesses came by today.

  this morning i was in our front yard sitting down pulling weeds when i saw 3 people slowly walking on the sidewalk in my direction.

  2 of them were young, handsome, clean shaven, wearing nice crisp white shirts and perfectly tailored black slacks.

  they could have been mormons except.... there was a 60ish portly woman wearing a frumpy dress and ugly sandals.

  Have 3 buildings disappeared from the new Italian Bethel under construction since 2019? What happened to them?

  if anyone knows more, a comment is welcome.

  if you visit the official jw website and search for bologna it will take you to some articles and 1 video.

  the site shows a building completed in 2020 with 41 apartments, there is a photo with alleged bethelites looking out from the balconies and waving.

  Watchtower won't be rescued but Jehovah's people will be.
