for you poor saps unfortunate enough to have missed yesterday's zoom watchtower study, i thought i'd prepare a little summary for you.. in fact, to keep things really short, i'll just highlight the outstanding verbs from the article.. paragraph 2: do not view.
paragraph 4: think seriously about the warning.....partake unworthily.
paragraph 5: do not feel...does not give....do not feel....would never tell.
Gas lighting at it's best!
But one added thing! Even when I was a very young enthusiastic jw, I could never quite square up the thought that everything written in the book of Revelation was symbolic, EXCEPT........the number 144,000. But I went along anyway!
just saying!
one new cutting-edge attempt to deal with the novel coronavirus is to take plasma from those who have had covid-19, recovered, and have the natural antibodies against it, and then put those antibodies in victims who have the virus and need help.. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/03/826638981/hospitals-universities-push-for-treatment-using-plasma-from-recovered-covid-pati.
isn't taking plasma one of the the no-nos according to wts doctrine?does anyone see "new light" on the horizon in this matter that would allow the faithful sheep to accept such treatment?.
What I see happening is the wt making it a "conscience matter" on whether or not to be vaccinated. In their very convoluted explanation of scientific shit, that they know nothing about, the wt will probably find a way to 'explain' that the vaccine serum is made from blood "fractions", therefore making it a conscience matter.
The Covid-19 pandemic is way too hot a political/social issue for the wt to stand up against. Maybe in the old days with Frantz and Rutherford but not today. The gb know that they have too much to lose. There is a huge leap between a few individuals refusing blood transfusions to the possibility of infecting entire communities with Covid-19. I don't think the Great 8 (aka GB) have the balls to stand up to the whole world!

gorby's brother in law came by the porch and told "the conventions are cancelled".
we knew already but responded surprised.
"it will be recorded and showed at stream.
Whatever they do, it's going to be very "un-conventional"!

i am sitting at home, trying not to barf as this wt paragraph by paragraph tries to character assassinate those who have the temerity to take the emblems.
the unwritten, unspoken subtext is that they, the gb, the now distinct and separate “slave” are above all this.
they, the gold standard are immune to this questioning.
The "new" 144,000 are soon going to 'overlap' the old 144,000. So there will be 2 "classes" of 144,000. Two "classes" with one hope.
How does that explanation sound? Does it qualify as 'new light'? Remember you heard it here first!

today’s watchtower article was the ultimate cya.
for friggin’ decades all we heard was that as armageddon gets nearer and nearer, the number of the ‘great crowd’ will increase and the number of the “little flock” will decrease!
in fact, it was one of the proofs that the end was near!.

Surprise! The “great crowd is shrinking and the “little flock’ is growing. It can only mean one thing………Armageddon is getting further away!
The attempt to ‘cover your ass’ was pathetic!

i hope it will go away in the next few months!
.
I say that by Armageddon it will be gone ! Am I wrong?

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!
Your Brothers

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!
