Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?
by JWTom ini realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.
but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.
many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

Heard of one orthodox elder buy a house out in the country, miles away from the KH. His reasoning that KH are a thing of the past. I’ve had similar sentiments from relatives.
The thing WT has to consider carefully if it does decide to sell up, and run with the money, Is the control that they can hold over its members. Not even a year out and an elders letter banning independent meetings. I feel if they become an online religion it will eventually be the end of them

Still a Christian, believe the bible to be the word of God, but I don’t believe in WT nonsense.

Were You Affected By Weird Elders?
by minimus inwe all had some to deal with some.
you would ask yourself, “how the hell did this guy ever get to be an elder”???.
we had one elder originally from england that used to wear his pants belted up to his chest with typically a dirty spotted tie and shirt.

One elder was nick named, Charles the hit man Glendening. He was a leftist Nazi.
A CO who was nick named jack the women hater Teasy. Although not so Nazi like. If you wore a dress you were on his radar.
Hans Hubler (DO) was just a total arse. More a combo of the above 2. He was so bad I wonder why wt put up with his antics for as long as they did.

An American Religion?

The Dutch tend to be quite liberal and open minded in their thinking. This is probably the reason the Dutch JWs were so willing to criticise HQ.

Drastic Upcoming Changes? (accelerated by the pandemic)
by JWTom ingood to see you again!
much discussion now about the fallout that is coming due to impacts of the pandemic combined with the long-term downward spiral of jw.org.
i am active as a pimo and my wife is pimi....much of our personal conversation and conversation with others in jw land focuses on how things will play out for jw.org in the next 12-24 months.

If the religion does get smaller post covid. I can see this been a good thing. PIMOS are a dead weight, and are costly to keep. What they need is a more devoted group of followers who are prepared to part with their money. -

Going on line would certainly have it benefits, with regard to been liable for CSA, DFing, no blood Put a subscription fee to access JW org and that would solve their money and liability woes.
The problem with being totally on line, is they lose control. Not even 12 months of been on line, and already they have sent out an elders letter sanctioning independent zoom groups. They should be thinking long and hard if they decided to sell up and run with the money.

I work with this indian guy. He was relating a story to me about a neighbour who lives next door to his family still in India. He passed away outside on the street connected to an oxygen bottle. There was just no room in the hospital left. What a terrible way to die.

I think you would have to be a bloody idiot to want to join the police force in the USA, with all that has happened.
