I can already see the borg reaching out to the sheeple and presenting them with the novel idea as follows:
Dear brothers
Due to Covid-19 all summer RC's are now cancelled. However, Jehovah has made the loving provision for all to now use the "financial resources" (money) that would have been used on Convention travel, food, and accommodations to be loving donated to the WTB&TS. Further details as to hw to get us your money coming sooooooon!

Hey Gorby,
Your BIL is correct---best convention ever!!!!
I usually take/attend with my MIL who is 92 and my wife 71. Can't wait to tell them "BEST CONVENTION EVER! Jehovah knew what we needed and he lovingly provided us No convention!"

what the hell is the problem with the famous “men of old” in the bible?
for some strange reason those old geezers (and some not so old) could not recognize who they were screwing?.
my wife was listening to this week’s bible reading about jacob, laban, and the sisters leah, and rachael.
JoenB75
Lot was very likely a very primitive man with a low understanding of ethics and formulated laws. His justification before God did not involve keeping of laws from all we know yet not given to man,
You might have a point EXCEPT god had just told Lot to flee the morally depraved cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Me thinks that Lot knew and understood what incest was.

consider these excerpts from the bible and the publications:.
“no one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his life in behalf of his friends” (joh 15:13).
“for hardly would anyone die for a righteous man; though perhaps for a good man someone may dare to die.
Is a fascinating story of the noble father who paid the ultimate ransom price--the life of his only son! But who the fuck set the ransom price to begin with?--- Well that would be----The noble father!

If the GB are convinced that they are communicating with the imaginary 'sky daddy' and are ruled by his son and are being led by the holy ghost, then they are neither liars nor evil-------just delusional old men who dream of grandeur!

the witnesses teach that the "unrighteous" are brought back to life in order to learn about god during the 1000-year reign.
i don't think that's a bible teaching, for the following reason:.
1) no verse says that.
A chance for the unrighteous?
I sure hope so! Means I have a chance!

study watchtower, june 2020, box on page 22 - "note the comment made by an inactive one in spain: “i want to be reactivated, but it is very difficult.
but it is not easy.
i have to change my lifestyle and cut ties with some worldly friends.".
Ain't no gems in the Watchtower just worthless rocks!

2 Peter:
"And by reducing the cities of Sod′om and Go·mor′rah to ashes, he condemned them, setting a pattern for ungodly people of things to come. 7 And he rescued righteous Lot, who was greatly distressed by the brazen conduct of the lawless people— 8 for day after day that righteous man was tormenting his righteous soul over the lawless deeds that he saw and heard while dwelling among them. 9 So, then, Jehovah knows how to rescue people of godly devotion out of trial,"
The bar is set pretty low to be considered a "righteous man". I guess Peter didn't know that "righteous Lot" was a incestuous old geezer!

some people say this decade is the most advantage and so they are happiest in the present.
some long for the good old days before cell phones and computers.
if you could live in an era or decade , when would it be?.
"If you can remember the 60's, you weren't there" so the saying goes! I can't remember the 60 too well but it was definitely my favorite decade. Growing up in southern California, surfing, cruising, lots of drinking, lots of 'witness' parties, a little smoke (just to take the edge off). I even got married in the 60's and it's lasted 53+ years.

we are told to have the emblems this year.
no fortified wine or boones farm.
that suits me as i like real wine.
I'm substituting beer and pretzels for wine and crackers!
