Half of the congregation here was infected last month because of a party 😬

there is a huge problem now in all congregations as the gb stubbornly will not do the u turn on staying fully vaccinated that many hoped they would do.. all congregations around the world the cobe has to ask all ministerial servants and elders if they are fully vaccinated (meaning no more than six months since last shot).
there is a massive problem now with many many jdubs not getting their latest boosters and not wanting to stay fully vaccinated .
but more serious than that is how the gb painted themselves into a corner with these vaccine mandates.. most governments did a u turn on the vax mandates but the gb can’t get out of this one so easily .

the buyer for the 236,365-square-foot office building on 20 acres at 750 woodbury road is the christian congregation of jehovah’s witnesses.
Why Long Island? Investment??

isn’t it about time they released the report for the service year?
or have they stopped publishing it?
did they released selected figures at the annual meeting as they usually do, such as the memorial attendance or record number of pioneers?
Best report ever!

It's a fake report so in reality it is far more down.

i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.
they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.
they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.
ThomasMore it would be pure gold to have the consultants report about the rebranding.
Does some know more of it??

Haha we did a lot of speculation in the 90's, but nothing realy changed. They transformed to jw.org and will do again to keep the business running.
The rank and file will accept everything, listen what I say: accept everything.
Jo Publisher gets his needed structure from jw.org, the wife the gossip she needs to live and the children their organizational ambition and skills.
It's a social bubble and it's members obey with low IQ & low education.
So you will be at the front row for long.

regular pioneers: 600 per year, 50 on average per month.auxiliary pioneers: 30 hours per monthauxiliary pioneers in march and april: fee reduced to 15 hours.
Because of the significant low IQ rate and education level in the jw.org population, these kind of "activity" and production goals are the toppics that the rank and file members take with both hands, "Jehovah provide us, just what we need".
A part of my jw family is so happy with this news, so the broadcasting brainwash has it's effect, always on short term only.
The special tract action in spring will be the next icecream presented.

were you ever on a congregation picnic?
i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".
well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.
In the 70's we had local picknics. Many jw's liked it, but some were against it. Many discussions about it in the hall. The organizer was DF because of to much joy with another sister (...) and the picnics were gone.
The dark 80's came with a lack of these events.
