i see no more preaching.
no more door knocking.
no more car groups.
Without the preaching work, the JW's have no reason to exist. Just a matter of time before the mid-week meeting is cancelled as it is mostly on how to preach. Kinda redundant now.
I have also been informed by an elder that they were told that we will not be going back to the Kingdom Hall until sometime in 2022. Two plus years of no social interaction with other JW's might actually spell the doom for the religion.
'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?
you lost your job and you searched for another one.
finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.
Still waiting for someone to call and see how our family is doing since the cancellation of the meetings.
Where is the love, but I do like them leaving us alone. So in one way it is a blessing in disguise. LOL
most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.
i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.
here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.
I always look for alternative theories, and see if they make sense. I try and keep an open mind for other possibilities that actually takes into account present natural laws. Not made up stuff like Dark Matter or Energy or String Theory, the list is endless.
You would think people who have escaped from a high control group would have an open mind to other possibilities, but it seems that they migrate from one high control religion to another high control group who do not want you to see the other side of the argument.
Kind of like just watching CNN only.

There is a lot of truth in the Bible. You just have to know how to interpret it correctly.
A lot of what the bible reads has to do when Saturn (a brown dwarf) touched and entered into the Sun's Heliosphere. When the two plasmapheres touched, Saturn's light went out and the Earth which was orbiting within Saturn's plasmaphere saw the stars for the 1st time.
Once you have an understanding of the Electric Universe, the catastrophe that happened about 12,000 years ago and the myth making because of it, then all the symbology makes sense.
The Seven Headed Dragon (Venus)
The Beasts
The Sun standing still (There are records that indicate that the Sun used to rise in the West)
Medusa (Venus)
Atlantis
The Ladder to Heaven ( giant collimated plasma tube)
The list is endless.
it's been six months since the kingdom halls have been closed.
i believe here in ontario, canada that you are now allowed to have up to 50 people congregate together.. that was the average attendance before they did all the merging of the congregations.
they should have went back to the original pre-merger congregations.

Anyways, on my street the local church is advertising on their billboard that they will be opening up this Sunday and other days also.
Is there any inkling of a hint that the Halls will be opening up soon. Or is the WT transitioning to become an e-church using Zooooom?

Makes you think what is alive and conscious.
My take on everything is to always keep an open mind.
yes those are the undeniable facts regarding this religious organization.. these men took the return of christ as a commercial commodity and sold that to the public through the literature they published.
the doctrines they used (c t russell, j rutherford ) to accomplish this feat wasn't actually their own, they were plagiarized by other turn of the century bible speculators who were selling their own pieces of literature.
the end times, the last days, this generation were all propagated to make the notion that armageddon was coming soon in are life time and this actually started by these charlatans back in the late 1800's.. so there you have it easy to understand and clarified even more as time has progressed.
Just like all religions. Nothing special about them. But there are two categories.
The ones that have been deceived and the ones that were not. Not sure where the founders and subsequent leaders are placed.
the jws in my country can't preach to anyone these days and they're going crazy.
i live in romania and initially during the covid-19 lockdown they were very enthusiastic about preaching.
they've since held daily "field service meetings" on zoom.
If the Bible and Prophecy is true.
The scripture at Daniel 12:11 says "And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days."
The WT calls the "regular burnt offering" (constant feature). I think it means service (door to door).
The Constant Feature (the witnessing work) has essentially come to a halt in March.
1290 days = 3.5 years (360 day year) – so around August/September 2023.
So is the U.S. election the catalyst that will cause the end of the Anglo-American World Power and the rise of the 8th King. Time will soon tell.
with the shutdown of the public preaching work.
some take it to mean all preaching in all forms.
other take it to mean it only includes door to door and cart witnessing, but you can do phone witnessing.. what is interesting is that depending which country you live in the direction that was given what to do is different.. two countries (malta and ireland) that i know of were told explicitly not to do phone witnessing.

Two countries (Malta and Ireland) that I know of were told explicitly not to do phone witnessing. I believe it has to do with tel-marketing laws and fines associated with it.
So I guess it all comes down to money.
Looks like if the authorities ever wanted to shutdown the preaching work (i.e. Russia), all they ever had to do is fine everyone and the organization, every time someone went out in service.
i am surprised no one has mentioned what is going on in canada.. maybe they have but i missed it.
so here are some of the facts as i know them.
ontario only.. sault st. marie had their six congregations whittled down to two.
LetTheTruthBeKnown: Are you sure they are selling that Aylmer assembly hall? How have you come accross this information?
-----------------------
Sorry can't reveal my sources. I just know the right elders. Some talk too much.
But it is pretty obvious anyways. I have been told that there is only one congregation left in the complex. I will be able to confirm this in the next couple of months when I go to my assembly.
And it is just a very big conference centre. They were offered $25 million years ago. Not sure what they will get for it now.
They will probably look for volunteers to spruce it up. This is your chance to help out again. LOL
