@Overrated Good to hear. I wonder what the baptisms number will be this year. It will probably be abysmally low. The preaching work has become a bunch of chit chat coffee drinking sessions on Zoom from what I've seen. My parents are acting like it's such important work but they rarely even manage to have a half-decent phone conversation with anyone.

The JWs in my country can't preach to anyone these days and they're going crazy. I live in Romania and initially during the COVID-19 lockdown they were very enthusiastic about preaching. They've since held daily "field service meetings" on Zoom. They wrote letters to all kinds of people and pestered them with phone calls. The elders found online phone books and assigned territories. They would bother strangers in very awkward unwanted phone calls asking their moronic JW questions. People didn't take kindly to being constantly bothered with phone calls from strangers, so they threatened the websites that published their phone numbers to sue.
In the EU there are various laws, like GDPR, that regulate breaking privacy and using other people's personal information very strictly. Publishing someone's phone number without their consent is basically illegal. Giving them unwanted phone calls repeatedly and bothering them is illegal. Writing them unsolicited letters is illegal. Having a conversation and broadcasting that private conversation on Zoom without consent is also illegal. JWs were basically breaking the law and people have had enough after months of being harassed.
Now, the preaching work is basically gone. Those websites with phone registries were taken down. They aren't allowed to write letters to strangers anymore. They can't call strangers anymore. Even their friends and families have had enough of their 'preaching' work after months of daily calls on religious matters. Now the CO is encouraging them to do pioneering, but they don't have anyone to preach to and they're going crazy. It's quite hilarious! Anything similar happen in your country? I expect similar things happening in most European countries. -

Considering that the Democrats are coddling and in some cases funding and supporting Marxist radicals that are literally setting fire to the country and using ghetto thugs to attempt to destroy the lives and livelihoods of the Americans that actually keep the society functional and civilized, Trump should in theory easily win in a landslide. Not just Trump but the entire left wing should be politically obliterated.
However, you can already see articles popping up in left wing outlets preparing the public for the ways in which the left is intending to at the very least contest, if not outright steal the election from Trump. This event would create such chaos and destruction it will like another Bolshevik revolution and only the law and order response from conservatives could keep American society functioning.
Really, if you are a decent person and you put value in the principles upon which America was founded, on The Constitution and on your life, especially if you are white, beware of the importance of this election. This will be the most important election in our lifetimes. We've already seen the Democrats and their Marxist allies go turbo communist these past few years. If the Marxists take the election, America is done. It will turn into the new Soviet Union. Whites and light skinned Hispanics will be persecuted and their lives destroyed. Make no mistake about it! Your very survival depends on it, and if you don't believe me read about all the communist revolutions that took place less than a century ago and all the massacres that followed. -

JoenB75 that would be a good marketing move. It's one of the few times I've seen them use someone I'd actually describe as beautiful. Certainly easy on the eyes and a great relief after looking at those gibbering old men for hours on end.

I caught some glimpses here and there while my parents were watching. I'm just shocked they used a cute, attractive, blonde actress as one of the main characters for once. She reminded me of Avril Lavigne, very cute. She's about the only reason why the convention even caught my attention.

“The Asiatic Mind” — Watchtower 1956
by slimboyfat insearching instances of the word “simplify” in watchtower literature, i stumbled across this.. the asiatic mind finds it difficult to accept new ways, to simplify and to make advantageous changes.
they fear conversion and dislike others’ offering them help.
many continually live in a realm of unreality and refuse to face modern facts of life.

He was right though. Asians as a group rarely innovate. They have fewer geniuses and their IQ is more evenly distributed. Most of the progress seen in Asia in the past 50 years has been catching up to Western countries and copying or refining our technology. Not saying they didn't invent anything ever but as a group they are far less innovative than Caucasians. There's nothing wrong with pointing out racial realities.

@Anna Marina
Good research, thanks for the addition. I didn't know that and you appear to be correct. Most people aren't aware how far back and deep some religious/occult connections go. -

I will give you a quick rundown on what this connects to. Fake Jews which worship Moloch/Baal control the world. These deities are as far as I can tell used as representations for aspects of Satan/Lucifer. Modern Jews which have taken over Judaism for the worship of Satan have created goyim clubs (infidels) which serve their purposes. One of these is that of the Freemasons, as well as the Knights Templar, who are the original Baphomet worshipers, Skulls and Bones, Bohemian Groove, Finders Cult, NXIVM and countless others.
Charles Taze Russell was a Freemason. His grave is a masonic pyramid, and one of the common masonic symbols is that of the pyramid with the all seeing eye on top. This symbolizes enlightenment, which is a concept that ties deeply into Satanism. Think back to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and how Lucifer means "light bringer", thus someone who enlightens you.
Goat like representations are also deeply tied with Satanism. Think the image of Baphomet. As someone who owns goats, I can understand why. Goats are deeply curious creatures, always seeking to find things out, but also rebellious, mischievous and sometimes destructive. Anyway, what I want to say is that I'm not surprised an organization created by a devil worshiping Freemason would prominently display a goat in their videos. They have been created as a subversion of Christianity. -

Thank so much backformore! Thanks for the encouragement and all the kind advice. Clearly, playing by JW rules will only bring me misery as I become more bitter from being deprived of a normal relationship. I've decided to say no more. Fuck what the JWs will think!
