The Governing Body Announces That Some In-Person Meetings Will Resume in Select Areas

by Disillusioned JW in

related to the pilot program for in-person meetings for the vaccinated (jehovahs-witness.com) topic thread there is the following news announcement direct the org: the governing body announces that some in-person meetings will resume in select areas (jw.org) .

i certainly won't be participating in that..

Yes I believe your correct LongHairGal. It’s a balancing act between control, cashing up, and running with the money. I feel the decision to physically return to the halls was the correct decision. Long term, if they transitioned to on line, the whole thing would of just fell apart. It was only months of KH closing and they were trying to shut down the R&F from having independent study groups. Physical buildings means control and WT realises that.

we don’t get many invitations to congregational social gatherings.

we don’t attend midweek meetings and miss about 1/3 of sunday meetings.

we go in service at least once a month.

Yes I could of perhaps tolerated the lies and false doctrines. But it was when I found that I was been excluded. It made the process of searching for another community, that was more accepting, so much easier. In a way I’m great full for the culture that exists in Wt.

It’ll be interesting to see how the local R&F take to this.

Can non JWs be witnesses in a committee meeting?

by mickbobcat in

i am not sure but i know where non jws have been brought in for a witness to a judicial meeting.

what is the official policy on this?

I remember a sex abuse case. I think it was in Wales. What initially got the ball rolling was when a member of the public walked into a KH and made a complaint to the elders in the offenders congregation. I think it was after this complaint that the elders were literally forced to do something as there were also a host of complaints from inside the congregation regarding the same Person. Anybody remember this.

Do you think the Door to Door KNOCKING - field service will EVER resume AGAIN?

by pistolpete in

if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.

(1992 franz death +80 more years).

if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.

joe134cd

To be honest it wasn’t until I started visiting apostate web sites that I fully grasped the concept of an overlapping generation and the implications of it. I remember when it was been rolled out, and there been a lot of talk about it, but I never really bothered to find out what it meant.

I showed on of my JW (True Believers) that Kingdom Halls will be opening soon. He had a fit!

by pistolpete in

so i showed one of my older uncles the link on jw.org.. https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/the-governing-body-announces-that-some-in-person-meetings-will-resume-in-select-areas/.

keep in mind that this is one of the relatives that is a true believer and used every excuse you can think of for the cancellation of all kingdom hall meetings.

and he also used every scriptural argument you can make up to justify the end of the door to door ministry.

Was told by a PIMI relative who lives at the opposite end of the country to me that in person meetings are full steam ahead.

I think wt has made the right decision to physically return to halls. I’m sure the whole thing would of collapsed with in a year or two if they sold up and run with the money
