2020 convention of jehovah’s witnesses.
we warmly invite you to watch this year’s three-day convention presented by jehovah’s witnesses.
as a result of the novel coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, this year’s convention program is being presented online at jw.org.
I suppose they will expect you to dress up in your Sunday best with collar and tie for the Bros,and dresses with the appropriate length for sisters while you sit in your own living rooms to watch it ?
And no talking during the sessions and standing up for the song and prayer when its offered.
And make sure you go to the toilet before the session starts ,dont want you to miss any nu-lite that might come out.
from the peacefull netherlands i have a question about the current situation in the us.. is a civil war possible?.
g..
.It might be interesting to compare how the chinese Govt.handles protesters ,Hong Kong,Tiananmen square and how the USA handles protesters.
Of course the situations are much different in both places but I doubt very much that Beijing would tolerate the protesters trashing and looting any place at all.
As for a civil war I very much doubt it .
today, it will be 90 degrees and humid!
this morning i’ll be playing tennis again.
while most people have been holed up in their houses, i have regularly played the sport outside.
Very few if any wear a mask where I live and this whole shire has no victims, zero of covid-19.
archie bunker from all in the family was considered by many as a racist.
there are still many people who think and act like him.
of course, in today’s world, there are many extremes.
I don`t understand why coloured people trash and loot there own city they live in ? As a protest ?
since adam and eve’s fall, we are all sinners.
it’s what we do, there is no way to change it, sinning is a daily part of life.
there are major sins, but most of us commit minor ones everyday in words, thoughts or deeds.
If God was so pissed off with the disobedience of Adam and Eve ,he could have {instead of creating a hell on earth for every living person after them},just either killed them off and created another "perfect" couple and saved the human race thousands of years of death ,disease and misery that he is responsible for.
And of course he would have had to put down Satan also ,but no ,apparently Satan was a buddy of his because he never shuns him and lets him come and go before his heavenly throne whenever Satan wants to.
And only thousands of years later does he decide to cast him out of heaven and instead of casting him off to Your Anus ,sorry Uranus ,where he could do no damage ,no he has to send him down to earth to cause more problems to the human race ,as if he hasn`t done enough already.
there seem to many seemingly political topics started in this section.
it's usually something controversial and not related to this subject area.
it would be nice to have this area reserved for it's appropriate subject.
I think the OP has a valid point ? maybe some of us just need to be a bit more aware of what section we are posting under .
Point taken wisdom ,and i think simon would agree with that also ,thats why there are different catergories to post on.
hi guys,.
i just signed up to the forum today.
i left the organisation over a year ago and have been sharing my experiences and shedding light on jw's on a religious forum.
Welcome Darkshadow2020 to the forum ,I`m in Victoria Australia ,its good to hear the water problem their is not as bad as it was predicted to be ?
last wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.
she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.
her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.
I`m sorry for your loss and offer my condolences to you S.T.A .I hope now that the ice has been broken between your brother and you ,that he has mellowed enough to have a more normal relationship with you and that you can be brothers supporting each other as you both are getting on in years.
Wishing you all the best .

Thanks jwleaks ,what an amazing photo ,it gives new meaning to Australia being a Sunburnt country .Apart from the loss of life and property that humans have gone through the amount of wildlife that have been killed and traumatised is horrendous .
