so within a week he changed the end time chain of events.
this time he said false religion will be along side with the govt.
powers when they declare peace and security!
Our congregation was reminded that the CO's visit is in the first week of June & that the entire program will be via zoom. Then came this hilarious announcement while all forms of face to face public witnessing is on hold until further notice due to covid19: "All who are able are encouraged to auxiliary pioneer for the month of June with reduced 30 hour requirement."🤣🤣🤣
This religion has a one-track mind & is a joke!
i wonder if the covid restrictions continue are they gonna disfellowship via zoom?.
As of a BOE letter dated May 16th Kingdom Halls can now be used for judicial matters. Makes sense...Congregations are going to be bombarded with judicial matters if they put them off much longer. I've heard in my neck of the woods that marital problems among JWs are on the rise due to couples being cooped-up together. So the society is allowing/encouraging elders to handle such issues now before couples start 'killing' one another.🤣
i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?
such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....
Do JWs dress up in meeting clothes for zoom meetings?
Is the Pope Catholic?🤣🤣🤣
one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.
you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.
then, go to the meeting.
Oh...how I can relate to this thread! You'd think Davros & I attend the same congregation! Aside from the long repetitive prayers...there's those elders and ministerial servants who repeatedly mention 'Jehovah' over and over and over again. The most I've counted someone saying 'Jehovah' in a prayer was 15 times.
i'm sure there's already topics on this but i couldn't find one so i'm starting my own.
is the kingdom hall scheduling program new?
is this where they are entering all of the members data now?
Just tell that snoopy knucklehead elder you're in the middle of switching carriers but that the number will remain the same, then ask:..."and by the way why do you need that information in the first place?'

Ever wonder what the 'spiritual shelf life' is of a reinstated disfellowshipped Jehovah's Witness? In other words...how long does a reinstated JW remain in good standing before he/she start their fade...again? Not very long according to this CO?
'The experience does not need to be a recent one. However, please only submit experiences of those who are still doing well spiritually."'🤣🤣🤣
I must say...this letter contains a world of gems!
Some of these letters really give us a peek of what little is in the minds of this cult's COs!🤣
This CO...like most COs is a birdbrain!

Is this an individual CO acting independently of 'Mother' in orchestrating these sham interviews of reinstated wrongdoers to coerce them to express appreciation for the disfellowshipping/shunning policy. No these orders have come from the top, as this CO says:
"Below is part of the letter I received from the branch:"
The GB leaders are soo desperate to put a positive spin on this horrid doctrine...they're scraping the bottom of the barrel-as the saying goes!

This is in part the request from circuit oversees to elders in the April 16th, 2020 letter regarding reinstated disfellowshipped individuals (What an abomination this letter is!):
Dear Brothers,
All circuit oversees have been asked to submit names of one or two individuals who were disfellowshipped in the past but have returned and are doing well now. Below is part of the letter I received from the branch:
"Particularly, we would like to hear of those who openly express their confidence that the disfellowshipping arrangement is loving and that they have personally benefited from this discipline. Preferably, the experience should illustrate the points from the second, third and fourth paragraphs in the online article "Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun Those Who Used To Belong To Their Religion"?...The experience does not need to be a recent one. However, please only submit experiences of those who are still doing well spiritually."There is no need to contact the persons you have in mind at this stage . If you can help with this I would ask that you respond urgently as I must send details before April 24th, 2020."
This letter is blatantly obvious of how desperate this organization is to put a positive spin on what is otherwise a very cruel, harsh and not to mention unscriptual doctrine!
What an abomination!

These instructions from COs to Elders regarding doctored-up experiences of reinstated individuals is evidence of the shenanigans and length the organization will go to stage interviews for Circuit Assembly, Regional Conventions and Broadcast parts in order to justify their harsh disfellowshipping & shunning doctrine.
