Yes I agree. I’m so glad it wasn’t done by some disgruntled apostate. Wt would have had a field day over it.

No funeral
by road to nowhere ini have run across another jw death where the final wishes are for no service.
3rd or 4th instance.
another wanted a celebration of life which the elders squelched as far as i know.

I’ll certainly give credit where it’s due. Surprisingly my JW grandfathers funeral was a delight. One of my unbelieving uncles requested that the service not be too religious, and the elder doing it abliged. I would say the mix was about 50/50. Which I thought was fair as JWisim played such a big part in his life. It was truly a delight, and I commented that to the elder who gave the talk. There was lots of food and laughing, all supplied by the congregation, and it was a chance to catch up with all the ones I hadn’t seen in years. I’d give it a 10/10. -

Had to laugh.
by Lost in the fog ini had to laugh.. i bumped into a friend who has started going back to the meetings and who has that enthusiastic arm-waving way of talking about the stuff they're hearing from the platform.. in part he's wittering on about some talk they'd had about king david and all of his ups and downs.
and says, "and as the speaker emphasized over and over again, we can imitate david because he was a man just like ourselves.".
" i finally interrupted.. that shut him up.

King David great grandmother was a Moabite called Ruth. She wasn’t Jewish. Try doing that in JWland and see how far you’ll get.

Another congregation closed
by hoser in15 years ago there were 5 congregations now there is only one and it is still struggling.
congregations closing their doors doesn’t mean business is good.
it looks like this last one to fold had no young witnesses, they either left the religion or moved.

The Jehovah's Witness religion has gone for good !!!
by snare&racket ini am not sure how you all feel as we all left at different times for different reasons.... but this new bible seems to have put some final nails into a coffin that was once my jw life.
the religion is so far and so different to the religion i grew up in that it has become something i feel no affiliation with anymore, no bond, no shared ideas or even sentimental views.
different teachings on when the end is coming.

DOZY: If Wt has a long term view. Selling KH, unless they otherwise been forced to, would be a very bad decision. The are already struggling with physical attendance with zoom. Creating a longer travel time will just aggravate the situation. If they go totally on line that will be the end of them. Or the end of the religion that I knew.

About the standing by carts/ D2D thing. With the hard arsed one. It just wouldn’t surprise me if they were standing beside their carts ,as bold as brass, in the middle of the town square.

Perhaps it’s a result of sexual frustration.
