Since they aren't having any special meetings either, I wonder how the "heavies" are existing without the paper handshakes? Go on a speaking assignment and get together with the dub upper-crust and get wined and dined.

Anyone get the feeling that the cult is really in trouble.
by mickbobcat inso all the bs and hyperbole aside, to me it really looks like the cult is in trouble.
shrinking member, selling halls.
the move to televangelism is really strange to me.

Do You Support Cubans Protesting Against Communism?
by minimus insome people have thrown their support for the government while others show support for the rebels.
what’s your opinion?.

If they want to protest communism fine, protest away ... peacefully. But as SIlentBuddah said no stopping traffic or blocking roadways. No protestor should be allowed to disrupt the lives of others whether it be Retrumplicans, Hiden Bidens or LGBT folks. I want to travel the roads I helped pay for and it isn't their right to inconvenience me or others.

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?
by Rocketman123 inmany that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Building a 'church' hierarchy and belief system on a simple question. Who really is the faithful and discreet slave....? Of course that means the "governing body" can't you see that?

Had a similar thing happen in a gas station near the house. Went in to prepay because the card scanner wasn't working. Held out my card to the foreign person behind the counter who promptly told me he didn't want the money presented that way put on counter or some such expression. Couldn't understand his English/Hindi. Told him he won't get my money then as I could go across the street to people who weren't so rude, and did that. Mind you I have used this Shell station for years. Called Shell customer service. Never saw the guy again.

Announcement coming soon:
It was at the 1990 Cedar Point "Somewhere in our dreams" convention that it was pointed out that the works of the modern day locust would soon draw to a close. In that end we see the end of the publishing of the Asleep magazine has now arrived. We rejoice with you in seeing this further understanding carried forth.

May JW Broaadcast - so bad, "it's not even wrong"
by FFGhost indon't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.

David LET ME Splane you fancies himself as the modern day Fred Franz I think. Just ask him about the oveflapping (sic) generation(s) he'll give you a complete farcical rundown. Have a drink of Tight Pants Tony's Scotch first.

Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)
by Slidin Fast inso, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.
this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".
well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

Given this reasoning then, if a minister living next door stopped and saved your life by performing CPR on you while you were having a life threatening incident, you should not thank him but turn your back on him. What a crock of moldy Watchtowers.

They must return to regular meetings or they will lose control. Many have already discovered that they like being away from the eldubs and the snoops. It will be interesting to see what the fallout is after they attempt to get everyone back in line.
