  My father predicted the end of conventions some 30 years ago. Of course he also thought Armageddon would be here shortly thereafter. He's batting .500.

  ...she is not in it because of scripture or doctrine. it's a sociol club for her.

  You have just described over 90% of "faithful" Jehovah's Witnesses in the post Stay Alive Til '75 organization.

  I've met a lot of elders who were greedy and drunks,
  So does that mean loyal JW should separate these men from the congregation ?

  Amen!

  • Sexually immoral
  • Greedy
  • Idolater
  • Reviler
  • Drunkard
  • Extortioner

  The Apostle Paul made this practice. Jesus never taught this. As such, there's the list. "Apostates" might be called "revilers" by Witnesses, but to truly be one depends on whether the criticism is abusive or not. To simply disagree is not reviling.

  I like how the OP shows that the new JW witnessing method is to simply have people go to JW.org. That's it. Remember when JWs prided themselves on being teachers of Bible truth?

  I just remember when the Watchtower adopted the voluntary donation format for literature. When Witnesses were put on the honor system for donating, especially for higher dollar items, it always seemed the cost of literature was never covered. This lead to all the changes that got us to where we are today - little to no actually printed items being made and the rise of JW.org.

  So, I am just wondering if the KHT arrangement will do the same for covering operating costs of Kingdom Halls. Between this and a lack of meetings due to COVID-19, I would like to know the economic impact on the Watchtower organization.

  They can't have it both ways. If all Kingdom Halls now become property of the KHT then the KHT is responsible for both making and the enforcing of child protection policies. For me, they bigger question is, what happens when congregation A starts contributing less than congregation B?

  Old Literature

  what did you do with your jw literature when you left?

  kept it, sold it or dumped it?

  I dumped mine, but I wonder if that was wise. There seems to be an attempt by the Watchtower to erase their past. Perhaps having some of their most embarrassing moments in print might prove useful. Then again, maybe not. PIMOs on this site have shared stories of their PIMI spouses refusing to look at older publications to the point of acting like its apostate propaganda.

  anyone else get a food box delivered by local congregation to your door - allegedly by the society?

  weird.

  i looked online and found a couple of youtube channels saying the society is taking food from food banks and giving it only to their congregations.
