According to the new guidelines for Kingdom Hall meetings, any potential cold or flu symptoms disqualify people from attending JW meetings at a Kingdom Hall.

An offer in exchange for some help.
by JeffT inas some of you might recall, i self-published a novel last fall.
i hoped “armageddon’s disciples” would be successful as my previous works (an alternate history trilogy) had done well.
not so with “disciples.” i’ve sold a total of nine copies.

Armageddon's Disciples sounds like a good plot for film. Maybe convert the story to a screenplay write?
I would pay admission to view a movie version!

JWs are always the victims... Depending on where you're standing
by neat blue dog intwo wt pictures of an adult child leaving home, one to be a jw, and one to leave the jws.
in one, the caption says his family are 'opposing' him, but in the other he's apparently hurting them.

Very true. Good on you for staying true to yourself and planning ahead for your future needs "in this old system"
If a JW decides to continue PIMO, they would be wise to imitate your strategy in order to limit future setbacks.
But long-term living PIMO "sucks".
Better quality of life in being true to yourself, and devising a safe exit strategy toward POMO freedom.

The senseless ''non partakers'' Jesus Memorial
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmatthew 26: 18-20 .
18 he said: “go into the city to so-and-so and say to him, ‘the teacher says: “my appointed time is near; i will celebrate the passover with my disciples at your home.19 so the disciples did as jesus instructed them and prepared for the passover.20 when evening came, he was reclining at the table with the 12 disciples.. only jesus and his 12 disciples were present at the passover .if jesus wanted observers, he would of had some sit down at his last meal and requested that they be present that day and future passovers.
why does the wts feel that observers ( non partakers ) need to attend the yearly memorial?

WT will even distance believers from other believers to better serve the cult. Bethelites, missionaries, circuit workers, SKE pioneers, JW children ... all encouraged to leave home, leave jobs, leave believing family & friends to pursue greater "privileges" and "assignments" in the cult work.
WT wants to have the dominant relationship in your life. They word it as "putting God first", or "seeking the kingdom first"... but in reality, all that terminology means is Watch Tower first.
If your gag reflex can handle it, here is a video sample of narcissistic cult rhetoric on full display by a JW leader, Kenneth "New Boy" Cook:
"What Price Are You Willing To Pay?"

so apparently robert hendricks the spin doctor of the wt society has been proudly telling news channels how wonderful the wt org has been during the 2 years of the pandemic, checking in with each and every member to meet their needs on a weekly basis.. except, based on the comments of former jw friends on facebook, it's news to most of them since they are screaming out that they were totally neglected by the elders/ms throughout most of that period.
a couple even said that because of being ignored by the congregation during this time, that they have walked away completely.

That is horrible. Hearing the same in our circles. More than the usual number of funerals and health failures within 2021/2022.
Curious how the GB never mention vaccine injury statistics in their GB video update propaganda. Probably a greater number of JWs are suffering from virus/vaccine complications than any percentage experiencing legit "persecution"
WT will probably stay hush about vaccine related injuries until it begins to personally hurt JW top brass or their wives.
We did confirm than many full-time WT volunteers, such as most in-house bethelites, were recently shifted out of WT direct healthcare and into state welfare heathcare programs... another "loving provision from the governing body"
OP: Lies, Damn Lies.

@LongHairGal
Yes, I was seriously asking if anyone here had heard reports of WT financial aid to families of virus victims or vaccine injury. We had heard of two cases where financial aid was involved, but tonight we investigated further and learned that both cases were elder bodies given approval to distribute a mere contact list of state and charitably funded services available to applicants with eligible circumstances related to the virus or the vaccine.
No actual financial assistance directly from WT, similar to how those covid emergency food box distributions by local JW elders were sourced from "worldly" state funded food banks, yet portrayed by JWs as a "loving provision of the governing body." Apparently, elders did not openly disclose "these food boxes are from the political government, not the WT GB"...
So as the OP says: "lies damn lies"
But with the way those GB update videos and letters endorsed the experimental vaccines, WT may eventually be approached for some sort of compensation by vaccine injured JWs that felt undue influence from WT to accept the experimental injections.

of the 30,000+ JWs that the GB reported to have been COVID-19 fatalities, how many of those families received any financial assistance from Watch Tower to help with post-mortem expenses?
Or how many JW families experiencing vaccine-related injury have been offered any financial assistance from Watch Tower?

Memorial wt study, re tro view.
by waton infor those still involved in the april 15 event, under the full evening moon.. "do this in memory of me " right, and follow the instructions.
3) "small number cherish a heavenly hope" but at the last supper, all still had an earthly hope, even jesus spoke in earthly terms about the future.
4) "spoke to them about 2 covenants, the new covenant and the kingdom covenant" a new one to me, note the missing capitalization for the new covenant, the one for all, for forgiveness of sins, the blood covenant, the wine symbolism, but implied [wrongly ] meaning of the kingdom rule promises.

"Really, should anyone care what they do?"
Certainly hope ozziepost does not imply going soft on the WT cult...?
We personally may know WT is a falsehood, but many others remain on-the-fence undecided.
Everything WT does should be exposed & eviscerated at this forum because, as you may know, many inquiring lurkers visit this forum over the years, so even the most rudimentary exposé here may help a reader loosen the cult shackles somewhere in their life or to help guide another person to healing & freedom.
