My guess is they are hooked on the money they are saving. My guess is in the last few years assemblies are costing more than they take in.

the GB has just cancelled the next two years
by neat blue dog ineven some democrats are advocating for reopening society, and are at least hoping for some point in 2021, but the governing body just announced that they're canceling the assemblies in 2022 as well, aiming to restart in 2023. .
they're really milking this 'pandemic', because as soon as things go back to normal that sense of urgency will start to die again, and publisher counts / meeting attendance will go down as well.
i wonder how many jws are suffering form (additional) depression from this as well, because with meetings, assemblies and conventions at least you could see and meet new people, as well as socialize.

U.K. Nurse Vaccinated With Covid Shot Has Covid Weeks After Getting Vac!
by minimus insomeone i know from england is a nurse.
she told me there was an outbreak at the hospital and she got the virus after being vaccinated.
she said she was told it probably would have been much worse for her had she not gotten vaccinated.

Very well could be the new mutation of the virus. Also could be that her body did not develop the immunity needed. I don't really see anything here.

i know it says there are neither male nor female in heaven but they are never depicted as women always male gender.

Havent gone to the kingdom hall in ten years but may have to go back...
by Joliette inmade a big mistake of talking about being raised as a jehovah's witness to some old friends and family.
people have told me that i am still a jws even though i've never been baptized.
i'm in school for social services, dealing with student loan debt, and a lot of other debt.

You are trying to talk yourself into a bad situation. If your mother has a shit ton of money and you want to make sure you get your inheritance and not the cult I can see the dilemma, if it is just for social networking than its absolutely bat shit crazy to go back.

The JWs don't like Chess
by mickbobcat ini can remember when i joined the chess class in middle school.
my mother brought out an older watchtower article about how chess is a game of war.
since i left the cult in 95 i have slowly lost any connection to the cult.

There were a lot of witnesses who did not follow the direction of the society like JWundubbed. We had a family from California who moved in and would go to school cake walks and other events that made the congregation uneasy. The society at least did when I was in look down on Yoga,even gave talks on why JWs would not join and nor do Yoga, Chess, even had a talk on are you addicted to caffeine in coffee and or Tea. Does not matter what a brother or two did or said I was going more for what the JW cult stood on it. I have seen congregations who were not very strict have beach beer keg parties. I have also seen whole congregations almost dissolved and restarted because of not following the rules. I may wright a letter to the HQ and ask what they feel on Chess. The usual rule is if there is nothing new that has come out they will default to the last thing there was on it. So I would bet dollars to doughnuts that they still don't like the cult members to play the game. For two reasons, one is the old Tower that said it was based on war strategist, and the second is it takes up too much time to master. Time they think would be better spent reading the cult literature or cart work. BTW Jwundubbed, I had a Nintendo NES and when JWs would come over their kids would get all big eyed and I would say do you want to play and to the one the parents acted like I wanted to take nude photos of them. Not kidding I got the stink eye like crazy.

I was always told that you only talk to a DFed one for business you have with them only. So if your family member say a brother is DFed and your parent dies and the estate needs to be settled you can only talk to them about the estate nothing else. There was no time out or anything like that. Once the business is over you can not talk to them
