Meeting attendance

by Benavidez in

i was wondering what your guys' meeting attendance was like.

our meetings here is like 50/50 with zoom and in person.

the spanish has it a little "better" with it being like 30% zoom attendance with most attending in person.. i've heard of congregations in other states having attendance where most (even elders and ms) attend meeting only via zoom and even have their cameras off.

I know the borganization has been focusing on getting all the sheep back in person since attendance is abysmal in some areas. Just curious on what its like for you all.

It's fascinating how many dubs eyes were opened due to the pandemic. I've been slightly pimo for years now, even before the pandemic. I remember the whole John ham and Bill Nye debate and Noah's ark thing. A question was brought to mind that i never considered, how did kangaroos make it to the ark?

For years and years i was spoonfed this story as if it were fact. But once that came to mind so many other things started to crumble. Then i found out about the CSA in Australia and the cover ups. From then i just took in the info but didn't let it resonate with me like it once did.

Once the pandemic started i started sending my family group chat all these articles and fallacies about WT and JW, they startes seeing how bad the BORG is and that it's a damaging cult. Now all of us are PIMO (except for my dad more or less), and we're beginning to fade.

Now all the rhetoric sounds insane, the songs are more culty than ever, and we have peace of mind knowing we'll never go door to door ever again.

I'm honestly embarrassed to say I am/was a "JW". I now say i was raised a "JW" but am not a "agnostic/atheist".

JW video i can't seem to find anywhere

by Benavidez in

i've been trying to find a video, but for the life of me don't see it anywhere on jw.org!

it's about a brother who finds some bad information about jws and has doubts but then comes to the conclusion to just trust jw.org and not the news or any other articles.

something about if you wanna find reliable information you have to go "right to the source".

Something about if you wanna find reliable information you have to go "right to the source". Something like that. It's killing me! I appreciate any leads on this. Sadly, I don't quite remember if it was on a broadcast or update or whatever.
