  Do local JWs want in-person meetings back in your congregation?

  by JWTom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize many here think that in-person meetings will return as soon as things are safe with covid.

  but many acknowledge it will likely be 2022 or later when this happens.. surprisingly, many pimi jws in our congregation are not shy about saying they are fine with zoom meetings forever and do not want to go back to in-person meetings.

  many speculate similar thoughts that are on this site....such as a combination of in-person and zoom meetings.

  What is your status (as of today) as a Jehovah's Witness?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

  active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

  inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

  3. Waiting for the lockdowns to end so I can go back to the KH and back out in the door to door work. I hate Zoom. It reminds me too much of televangelism.

  Older JWs are faithful (to Jehovah) and discreet (in the earthly org).

  Will You Get Back To Normal After Covid Subsides?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some say we will never get back to pre-pandemic days.

  others say we should expect to live with masks and social distancing as the “new normal “.

  still others are hopeful that we can live life realizing there might never be an end to covid or cancer or influenza but our lives must continue to go on.

  the past two weeks several ufo sightings.

  navy and pentagon confirm sightings.

  us military is worried because the technology being used to drive these air vehicles are showing no signs of any sort of jet fuel.

  Project Blue Beam will be fake, just like the cry of 'peace and security' will be.

  i love r&b music, funk and soul, even some disco.

  i’ve been listening to retro soul radio out of london lately and the music is without commercial interruptions 24 hours a day.

  mostly 70s and 80s music.. i love everything from elvis presley to tom jones too.

  Do You Think “Normal” Is Ever Going To Happen Again?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since covid, our lives have all been affected.

  do you think people will ever get back to normal, pre-covid?

  are masks, vaccinations and social distancing the “new normal “?.

  Yes. I don't think the GT is imminent at this time. I think we'll go back to normal (for a few years?) and then the GT will start.

  I think NDEs are just hallucinations caused by an oxygen starved brain.

  Do old time present day active JW`s genuinely believe in overlapping generations ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .

  are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.

  here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.

  Their current understanding is that the anointed have to receive their final seal before the GT but they don't have to die until just before Armageddon.

  the GB has just cancelled the next two years

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even 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.

  smiddy, I gave you the dislike because what you said contradicts the Bible at Isaiah 33:24.
