2021 Annual Meeting Talk, "I Will Never Abandon You"

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

this 19 minute talk by “governing body” member samuel herd lacks enthusiasm, energy and mostly reads his script.

looks like he was forced to talk about something he no longer believes, but goes along what was written to appease the rest of the ''governing body.''.

mr. herd says, ''sometimes we have to make adjustments.

Are Jehovah's Witnesses subtly directing the brothers to have homes with attics?

by was a new boy in

it seems if you have an attic, you'll be safest there..

I remember 40 years ago the backyard and garden of my parents had an exit to the street. The local elder came to visit us, inspected the garden and noticed the exit. "That exit is great when Armageddon will start", he said.

We still laugh about that moment.

Disfellowship

i'm dealing right now with veru extreme situations that most of us have been in this sect.. i've talk to the elders because i was smoking cigarettes and i stopped for a couple of weeks.

the reason i did that because mamy things are going on right now in my life.

i'm out, i don't attend meetings i don't want to do anything with them anymore but i live in a small community so i want to go out without giving attention to anybody.. the reason i told them what i'm doing because my wife is still one of them and other people learn of some other things i have been doing and i had to tell something for obvious reasons.. the elsers tho the haven't answer to me back in 2 weeks almost and today one of them called me to give me some information.

2/2022 WT: a repeated request & more doubletalk

by neat blue dog in

we all know the now famous quote, "all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

" well, this point is regurgitated in the latest wt, along with yet another new bunker scene:.

"during the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical .

So happy we fade and don't have to listen to this at sunday morning.

No Time to die.

by mickbobcat in

i watched the movie by streaming it off line.

i don't pay to watch woke movies ever.

the film had great cinematography.

First half of NTTD was good, second half from the point of the forrest to the end credits are not worth my time.

It seems halfway the production something happened that killed the movie.

What's actually recorded in publisher record cards?

by optimisticskeptic in

it seems to be unclear if things like public or private reproofs and details around those events being recorded and traveling with you.

it seems like the details are largely part of whatever judicial paperwork there is and not necessarily attached to your publisher card permanently.

i changed congregations a few years ago and it appears the letter the body wrote only covered the most recent issue and said nothing of a reproof that had happened a few years prior.
