In other words they could end a prayer in the name of the Logos ? How would that go down ?
Maybe some PIMO could naively do this and see what sort of a response they would get ?
just asking .

Former Poster (TMS) Returns During Coronavirus Lockdown
by ReinventedTwice inmy old user account says i joined this forum 19 years ago, an intermittent poster starting 102 topics, the last about 12 years ago.
with my community under a volunteer stay-at-home policy and a mandatory curfew, i took the time to read all of my old posts and the replies, reminding me of how informative and therapeutic this forum was during my jw to ex-jw transition.. in 2018, my life took another turn with the death of my wife of 49-1/2 years after a long illness.
my writing, according to observers, lost its edge and purpose.. i travelled to asia, meeting a beautiful, intelligent woman in cagayan de oro, philippines, 33 years my junior.

need input: Asked my wife to show me in the bible where Christ became King in 1914
by goingthruthemotions inso my wife is so diluted and brainwashed.
during this time she is having so much anxiety, mainly because me and my son's want nothing to do with the religion.. so the discussion was, i told her will never go back because they go way beyond what the bible teaches all the time.
i brought up overlapping generation, 607 and then i told her...show me where in the bible that jesus returned invisbly in 1914 and started ruling?

You could ask your wife about a dozen and more core JW beliefs and where in the Bible is it found and she or no Elder would be able to give you a definitive answer to your question .
To many of the rank & file its purely an emotional attachment to the religion ,they have their ears tickled ,it sounds good . No more worry,live in a paradise earth,no food or accommodation worries,no sickness or death .
Who wouldn`t want to live under those conditions and they just WANT TO BELIEVE IT.
Jehovah`s Witnesses aren`t the only religion who teach and preach these things ,none of which can validate their claim anymore than the JW`s.
To name a few.
The Worldwide Church of God.
The Seventh Day Adventists as well as other Adventist movements
The Christadelphians
Just to name a few.

If "Zoom" is All They Have Now.....
by 1234 inthink of the possibilities, if this technology is all they have to stay in touch with their minions think of the wonderful possibilities..... 1. think of what just one molotov cocktail or flame thrower could do to their broadcasting room and the "world wide work.
2. or better yet if "v" (for vendetta) hacked into their broadcasting system...and told them the real truth.
3. just one rogue bethelite could have all kinds of fun..... i can dream can't i.....

So that`s what they meant by " obeying even if you think its impractical or you don`t understand it ,just obey the F&DS and you will be blessed " or some other such rubbish about this dressing up as if you were going to a meeting ,then sitting in your Sunday best in your own living room with the TV on ?

All I can say is that the Bible clearly tells us that Satan after his rebellion against God in Eden could still come and go as he pleased before the Throne of God in Heaven for thousands of years all the while as he could come and go roving about on the earth .,as the scripture says seeking to devour someone .
All of this with the permission of God . Job 1: 6-12 ,1Pet.5:8
And as I have said before Jehovah God never shunned Satan and Neither did Jesus Christ .
And in the example of the prodigal son the father never shunned him but welcomed him back with open arms.
sorry i got carried away.

Good News About the Covid-10 and the Watchtower Bible and Truck Society! n
by 1234 inwe all know that things are all going to be way different when we get through this milestone.. like hurricane katrina, people survived this but new orleans even 16 years later is way different.
our economy is like a shark that must keep moving through the water.
stop it and it will die.. the witnesses like many people in the world, have little to no savings.

I didn`t think the religion could get anymore crazier than it already was ,but surely any sane thinking person would draw the line at dressing up in your Sunday best then to sit in your own living room watching a televised version of a JW meeting .presumably to keep from talking while the meeting is on as it would show disrespect for Jehovah`s arrangement .?
Or should I say the GB arrangement who presumably now speak for God. ?
Could you imagine Joyce Meyer Ministries asking something like this of their TV viewers?
Or even Jimmy Swaggart `s Ministries asking believers at home to dress up in their Sunday best before sitting down to watch their TV programmes ?
How do you think they would be viewed if they had done this ?
Jehovah`s Witnesses are identifying themselves as a CULT like never before .
