Lloyd's 'Ronnie Pickering' moment!!🤣
background:.
https://westfaironline.com/105235/partners-fighting-over-gift-shop-for-jehovahs-witnesses/.
'a jehovah’s witness who partnered with a couple he trusted based on their shared faith is suing them over ownership of a religion-themed gift shop in orange county.. greg holland of victoria, british columbia, claims in a federal lawsuit that thomas and nanci matos of pine bush, coerced him into relinquishing his property.. “through deceit and intimidation, the matoses stole holland’s investment and interest in ministry ideaz llc,” the complaint states.
2022 governing body update # 6. what exciting news david splane has for all jehovah's witnesses ( who for the last three years were spared the house-to-house preaching work ) '' that we'll return to the ministry september 01, 2022. just in time for our world wide campaign to start bible studies.
and, i'm sure the angels are excited too, because it will give them opportunities to help us with our ministry.''.
not only will the witnesses be rusty in their return to the field ministry, the angels in heaven have been sitting idle while the pandemic stopped the house-to-house ministry.
David Splane wishes that he could order the angels to submit time sheets.

Jabba the Hutt you say? More like God-Emperor of Dune.
i dont know why the question popped into my head.
i've been out since '90-'91 and haven't read any literature in years.
was this a fred franz quirk or do they still write in that style?
As an outsider, it's funny to see how everything gets reduced to a formula like this:
'Is there a 'house style' for watchtower articles? Yes! Why? Because our readers prefer it that way. How do we know this? Because we told them so. What a wonderful provision from Jehovah!'
the org.
was all too willing to emphasize to the government - especially the left that they very obedient to the calls for mask, vaccine, and lockdown mandates.
those that know about the great reset know what i'm talking about.
The Great Reset? That happened invisibly in 2020. The generation who were alive and understood the signs are the ones who will own nothing and be happy.
why has the watchtower failed spectacularly to evangelize to the muslims?
considering the recent influx of muslim people in european countries you would think that some attempt from the religion that touts the are preaching the good news of the kingdom in all the inhabited earth would have been made.instead the only meaningful attempt dates back to 1953 ,almost 70 years ago!!!!
book " man's search for god.what do you think?
No, them Muslamics are just not 'rightly disposed'.
a couple of my wife's friends are married to non witnesses.
they say jehovah must have special plans for them.
and that it is a special exception not destruction, alas, they are not attractive so my special idea about polygamy won't cut it.
my question is....why do they do it? why marry a non-jw in the first place?
The other side of that is, why would a worldly person marry a jw?
there seems to be a push to fast track the younger men to become elders.
beings jesus was 30 when he took up his ministry, i would think that would sort of be an age gauge...the older men were to have their children in subjection, so some were old enough to have children that were old enough to want to rebel.
( that's my slant ) how will the ones who have been jw for years respond to being counseled by those younger than some of their grandchildren?
Imagine a newly appointed 'young elder' being presented with his copy of the secret book...
'Oh thanks! I mean I've seen this before but only as a PDF...'
here is the thing: i tried several times to watch the convention...i just couldn't seem to forge ahead with it.
the reason i wanted to was to be able to engage in conversation about it with some of my old friends that communicate by phone that don't know i have disassociated.
i want to be able to slip in seeds of doubt, but at the same time i have to seem a bit current...) so i welcome to know any take outs, commentary, good or bad, or the video plots, etc.
The story of 'Antoinette' is interesting. In 'JW Thoughts' (Wally's) youtube video on the Saturday morning, there's a clip where the little girl goes on to have a Zoom call with a Russian couple.
I had a look this morning at that video on the org website, and they seem to have edited it down. The Zoom call is now much shorter. It still looks as fake and scripted as anything, but the viewer doesn't get a chance for thoughts like that to crystallise before we're on to the next segment.
Happy to be corrected if that isn't what happened but otherwise I'm happy the original still exists in some form!
