  other than adding 20 lbs over the last 15 months, no known health issues during covid.

  i’ve taken 8 lbs off so far and i am within goals.

  thank goodness nothing serious here over the pandemic.

  I got mild Covid in Feb 2020, quickly recovered and haven't been sick since.

  I stopped eating out because it's no fun anymore and that's what used to put the weight on me. I've actually lost a few pounds.

  under constant watch of other jw.

  Personal relationship with Jehovah is wonderful. Dealing with the judgmental earthly org, not so much.

  are you ready to celebrate??

  it’s such a big holiday that the local electric company will be closed in order to celebrate.

  only emergencies will be dealt with on that day.. what are you doing for the holiday?.

  Just what we need. Another man-made holiday. We have far too many of these already.

  Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!

  so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .

  https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.

  and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

  It doesn't make sense. The GB want to rule with Jesus but they don't want to die. That's not going to work.

  by Gorb in

  2. friends

  with the built of new jw.org media studio's we can predict the future of the jw religion.. because we are living in an age of digital media, what will be the effect of this all?.

  will the religion generate a new population?

  we know video media is a strong marketing tool.. like to hear your thoughts.. gorby .

  Will Jehovah’s Witnesses Go Back To Normal Activities?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most every state has a plan to get back to normalcy.

  many countries also are ready to get their citizens on the road to recovery.. where does this leave the witnesses?

  will they ever go back to house to house ministry?

  Yes, I think they will as soon as the secular authorities end the lockdowns.

  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.

  The GB doesn't care what local JWs want.

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

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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).
