not only do they want everyone dressed up for the zoom meetings( which i won't do) they decided to keep the zoom meeting at 1pm sunday!
so they don't upset their spiritual routine!
ugh!
giving a hint for those who still need to attend those boring as hell zoom-meetings:
even you don't have guts to turn the video off and go do your own stuff during the meeting - just place a mobile/laptop in front of TV, and turn on your favorite movie/show.
interesting video.
i'd like everybody's thoughts on this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrlfvxinte8&fbclid=iwar2omsj1dkm7rzxcyjblkd9aqnnp5xmijrxoc-rfaoh7ucfgvwlpkiynofs.
Diogenesister - Putin has far more control than the GB can even dream of.
Regarding this guy, Zelda - it might be that he's knowledgeable. It's just this video that shows the opposite. And honestly, I have absolutely no desire to investigate this guy's knowledge any further.

Just a kind of a 'hype video', as for me. Kill almost 2hrs of one's time to deliver his speculative and ignorant opinion.
It's no secret WT behaves crazy. Still, it's not an excuse for Russia's crazy persecution (BTW, Russia persecutes, and tortures a whole lot of other people/religions/organizations - not JWs only).
i just had this flashback when commenting on another thread about how they used to announce reproof or dfing from the platform.
at least in our congregation, it was a dramatic event (this is what i can remember from back in the mid-late 60's or early 70's when i was a kid).. at the end of the service meeting, just before singing the final song, the brother would announce, "we have a letter that must be read.
the "congregation servant" (my grandfather or later my father) would then slowly walk from the back of the kh to the platform.
In early 2000's the presiding overseer in my congo used to announce the 'XYZ is disfellowshipped.' and then proceed to read a scripture about the sin committed or about the need to shun the sinners.

this from j.w survey :.
https://jwsurvey.org/we knew they did this to a degree, but this is a blatant way of siphoning money to where the leaders want it, with no control, no transparency, and no way for anyone to be able to see where it has gone.
jehovah’s witness uk headquarters dissolves kingdom hall charities, seizes full control of property and finances.
@cofty - I'd be glad to see a song composed for this case, kind of "The British JWs told'em to F*** off!" :)
if someone could assist us in getting these two manuals in "russian" it would be most appreciated.. branch organization manual and the circuit overseer manual.
whatever date you have will be fine.. a member of the board is in need of those manuals for a youtube project.. just send me a private message and we can go from there.. and yes, i'll buy the next round!.
the old timer atlantis!.
Hi, Zing!
Thanks for your help. Those two manuals are practically unknown to the Russian jw community. Still, there is a chance to reach some ex-CO for the CO manual, but regarding the branch manual - chances are next to zero.

Zing, - thanks for help, but there are no Russian versions of the requested books there, unfortunately.
i feel that assad even though he is bad is a better alternative then islamic extremist taking power.
what do you think?.
Comparing Assad to ISIS reminds me of comparing Hitler and Stalin. No matter who is worse - the winner is still a genocidal tyrant.
