  JWs can toast now….what’s next

  by FFGhost in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.

  a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.

  too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

  Demonic Influence While Intoxicated

  by EisMe in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  scripture consistently warns against intoxication, highlighting how substance abuse weakens judgment and opens individuals to spiritual deception.

  while various herbs were used in biblical worship, they were only burned as incense, never smoked or ingested.

  additionally, there is no historical record of marijuana being used in ceremonial worship, either in the bible or among ancient civilizations.. warnings against intoxication and loss of judgment.

  So how do I get to "attend" a zoom meeting

  2. friends

  do you have to be invited?

  is there any way of listening in on the kh meeting?

  it's been about 30 years since i have been to a kh and they would have a conference call of 4 people on the phone together because they were sick.

  You will need to ask for the log in details from the JWs in your area. Each congregation has a different log in code.

  The no holding hands during congregation prayer teaching has long been forgotten about. In fact it was forgotten about by most members only a few months after this WT was studied.

  Youths who gave up amazing lives

  by JohnR1975 in

  2. beliefs

  when i was growing up i remember many young people interviewed on the platform at assemblies.

  the ones who really stood out are the talented ones who gave up amazing lives to pioneer.. i remember specifically when i was a boy in the 70s and 80s some who were very good at sport or something.

  their teachers begged them to get professional training use their talents to the full.

  Back then to pioneer, you had to report 60+ hours a month, today you can gain that title with as little as 15hrs.

  they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..

  Diligence and Enthusiasm - LDS vs JWs

  by Rivergang in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on a scale of 1 to 100, i would put the lds in the high 90s, and the witnesses at about minus 10.. these days (well, around here at least) one encounters the mormon missionaries all over the place.

  if they are not knocking at your door, they are approaching you out in the street.

  of late, this has been happening all the bloody time!.

  The Mormons seem to have disappeared from around here too, apart from seeing 2 on bikes about 4 months, there's been no sign of them for years.
