You can bet there'll be those older ones who don't realize they are on camera and will tune in with their hair standing on end wearing only their bathrobe (or less) LOL!
I wonder if only those who wear a tie will be allowed to be seen on cam?

She was absolutely giddy about, "this is it. You better get back to the organization."
It's hard to resist asking them what they'll have to say about all of this, in a year from now.
After the hype of the International assembly in 2014 I remember my Brother making a post about how "we are living in MOMENTOUS times brothers and sisters"
Momentous (a real JW buzzword if ever there was one) : Of great importance or significance, especially in its bearing on the future.
I reminded him of that 6 year old post when he began talking about this current situation as being a sign of the end and asked him what he's going to think in another 6 years when he looks back on the year 2020.

Rumor of Religion wanting to contact Inactives
by LongHairGal ini saw a post on reddit from somebody claiming to be an elder that the jw religion wants to contact all inactives.. some of the responses indicate that some were contacted or had close friends or relatives being asked for their contact information.
some of these people have been out of the jw religion for many years and have moved on.
the ones contacted said the jw informed them about cancelled meetings (as though they would care).

If this is true, I doubt we'll be contacted.
I'm a former Bethelite and my wife and I are 3 generation JW's. We were regular attenders and publishers in good standing at our Hall for 25+ years and we raised our (easy to raise) boys there. Our last meeting was Memorial 2008. Even though we lived in the same house and had the same phone numbers and email addresses it took them 3 years to come looking for us after we walked away.
The Circuit Overseer and an Elder friend of mine showed up one rainy Saturday morning. I invited them in and after a bit of friendly chit-chat the C.O. said, " I understand you folks haven't been attending meetings lately".
I said " Lately?? I haven't been inside a K.H. in over 3 years. The last time was Memorial 2008 and this is the first time anyone has tried to contact us".
He shot a look at the Elder as if to say "How could you have let this happen and why wasn't I told about it?"
Nevertheless, that was 9 years ago and no one has ever followed up on us. Not so much as a phone call or note on the door.
At this point, I figure that if there is a God and he has something good in store for mankind, there's no reason we shouldn't be a part of it. If he was the kind of God who would condemn me to everlasting death, the same as the likes of evil people such as Hitler and Ted Bundt etc , then maybe I don't really want to be here.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

Nope. Just like most everyone else. The good times were never gonna end.
That's the one good thing I came away with as a former JW. You were always ready for the next shoe to drop and were prepared for things to go from bad to worse. This gave some JW's the attitude that saving for the future didn't matter since it was all going to end. For me, it made me want to be prepared for the hard times that came, before the end actually came.

Go bags
by punkofnice inwhat are they going to do with their 'go bags(tm)' now?.
convert them to 'stay bags'?.
-

Pete Zahut
Their "go bags" are still at the ready in case of a natural disaster. I'm guessing that this time they'll include extra Toilet Paper in case they really do have "to go".

Think back on how sincerely right you though you were back in your JW days and it's easier to see them as victims just as we once were.

I like the market scene from Notting Hill, where Bill Withers sings "Aint No Sunshine" and you see the seasons change while Hugh Grant's character walks through the market. In the beginning it's summer and he passes a pregnant woman and at the end it's spring time and the woman is holding the baby she was carrying.

Are YOU a JW parasite?
by The Fall Guy inevery single member of the worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovah’s witnesses (yb16 p. 176 2015 grand totals) – which includes all of the governing body, all bethelites, every jw missionary, every circuit overseer, and all special pioneers – are worse than people without* faith!
because they have all signed a vow of poverty which renders them as parasites, living off other people's earnings.
where in the bible is that a “principle”?

We have a family member (lovely married couple) who are long time Bethelites who have been there since they were in their 20's. He is now turned 50 and she's in her late 40's They've managed to be able to travel a lot over the years but I wouldn't exactly refer to them as "parasites".
Their Jobs are physically demanding and they are very dedicated. He sometimes uses his vacation time (and she shares her vacation time with him) so he can do home repair jobs on the outside to earn extra money. I think it's mostly JW's who hire him. I'm not sure how that works out in terms of their "vow of poverty" but I think it is viewed as OK since it's their own time and they are free to use it as they see fit.
The trouble is they are getting older and have no Social Security and the new system seems to be delaying. I know that because of this concern, they are thinking of leaving so they can work part time on the outside and part time at Bethel as "commuters". They are so sincere and I feel badly for them but they seem to be confident that Jehovah will provide. They escaped the "lay-offs" a while back but we figured if they were to be laid off, as long as they stayed in the JW network they would be ok because Bethelites seem to be taken care of. JW's typically view Bethelites as hard working rather than as parasites and it makes them feel good to help them out financally since they believe Bethelites are making personal sacrifices to do work that they themselves aren't in a position to do.
