  The King of the North and the South, who are they now?

  by Anony Mous in

  i know several wit-lesses that to date are researching these topics.. however i haven't heard much from any publications recently about it, i think the latest refresh was ~10 years ago.

  since then the power of the us has severely diminished (or at least the rhetorics about it has), russia is a small potato in modern era, the eu is a cowardly dog in the eyes of everyone and we have the rise of china which is as far as military might is concerned, a paper tiger.. we also have the rise of islam, especially since the end of the nato nation-building effort in afghanistan which is now in power in most of the middle east and africa, as well as regions of asia and growing strong in europe.. does anyone have noooo light about these developments.

  is islam the king of the south?

  You should be privately invited by Jehovah to partake. If you believe you have received this invitation then start partaking at the next Memorial and be DISCREET about it.

  since this pandemic, especially, are witnesses fine with never having to go to another meeting or assembly again?

  I seem to be one of the few that wants to go back to normal. Most of my elderly/sickly sister friends want to stay on Zoom indefinitely.

  I think Covid is real but it's just a particularly nasty flu strain. I think the American government totally overreacted and trashed the economy. The 'Spanish flu' was MUCH worse.

  What aspects do you view most favorably about the WT and/or its religion?

  by Disillusioned JW in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  even if you disapprove of much about the wt and/or its religion, what aspects do you view most favorably about the wt and/or its religion?

  for me one of the things i view most favorably about the wt and its religion is its extremely strong insistence that jws never intentionally kill another human being.

  i especially appreciate that regarding those who have been born, but i think some abortions of human embryos might be justifiable.

  The aspect of JWs that I like most is the opportunity to bond with Jehovah forever.

  Yes, I pray to Jehovah and my prayers are answered. It's one of the reasons I remain one of JWs. I highly recommend it.

  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.

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

  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.
