Be interesting to see with regard to that assembly part. Are they testing the water to see the reaction be, or did the speaker go rogue on them. This could be big.

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

I’m sure if he could be moved sideways they would have. The bottom line was his drinking and mouth were just out of control. He was a liability and removal was the only option. If he had stayed I’m sure he would have been DFed. An even worse look.

I do feel these changes have been the result of ToMo getting the chop. He was what was holding up change.

Even with recent changes it’s a struggle to get people to attend
by hoser inthe kingdom hall is still empty.
even with amalgamation of 2 congregations.
the elders are handling the microphones and there was only one comment from zoom at the watchtower.

Dagney: I couldn’t agree more. My father get all starry eyed talking about the cong of Jah. Nothing would give me more pleasure than for him to walk out the door giving them the middle finger. This, however, is just not an option. His community is good for him, and to wake up now would mean an untimely death. Then no body wins. He’s happy content, and I’m pleased he’s serving Jehovah AKA watchtower.

A recent 2 day convention I heard about had an attendance of 500 on the Saturday. The person attending commented about how empty the assembly hall looked. When I was attending it was around the 1000 mark. To be fair, it was at the worst time ever. On a one long weekend. Guess people preferred to be at the lake.

I believe a lot of the witnesses in HK are Philippine migrant workers. It’s very much the same story in oil rich eastern countries where they are also under ban.

Joe134cd attends a Jewish Synagogue
by joe134cd inok just reviewing my sabbath attendance at a jewish synagogue.
the service was 95% in hebrew.
i think the observation that jesus made about them been more concerned about the traditions of man than the word of god, still stands true to this day.

Ok just reviewing my Sabbath attendance at a Jewish Synagogue.
The service was 95% in Hebrew. I think the observation that Jesus made about them been more concerned about the traditions of man than the word of God, still stands true to this day. It was documented even the steps forward and backwards to take. There were certainly commonalities with Christianity, which could be expected. Christian’s, particularly Catholics, kiss and touch the cross, Jews touch and kiss the Torah, when it is brought out of the ark of the covenant and brought around members of the congregation. Jews will have 2 names, a secular one, and a Hebrew one which is used in the Synagogue. Catholics have a baptismal name on your acceptance into the church.
From my observation I fear that the Jewish faith may be fearing worse than the JWs. The service was very poorly attended. This synagogue was in a major metropolitan area. That been said there would have been 40 in attendance. Average age of 60. There was only one person there under the age of 30. I fear that unless something is done very quickly this community may die out. This concern was also raised with me by one of the parishioners. So that’s the main things that stood out to me.
