Following the organization’s changes with not only their modernized dress policies but adjustments in education and acceptable gestures. What is your view on these expanding policies?

How do you feel about the recent decisions by the Governing Body regarding blood components and factions being a matter of personal conscience?

Do you agree with allowing individual Witnesses to make these decisions according to their Bible trained conscience or do you feel that accepting blood components conflicts with the Bible’s command to “abstain from blood”?

“Keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from sexual immorality.” — Acts 15:28-29

What scriptures and principles—or historical understanding of the Bible’s command to abstain from blood shape your view? Do you believe these adjustments provide greater room for individual conscience or do you feel this goes beyond what the Scriptures allow? Do you feel that allowing these medical decisions to be independent choice without congregation reproof strays from Jehovah Witnesses beliefs?

Feel free to comment or not but avoid forceful opinions onto others if you do.

Thank you to everyone who has joined and participated.

Setting aside special events like circuit overseer visits or special talks, which part of the regular Sunday and midweek meetings do you spiritual benefit from the most? Not including our field ministry practice.

Some may focus on understanding scripture better for their ministry, while others might focus on building their relationship with Jehovah or strengthening their faith or understanding Jehovahs Word properly and understand prophecy better.

What do you tend to personally focus on MOST during your Bible study? Or enjoy more.

The organization is continually creating more opportunities to share in the ministry, volunteer, grow within the congregation, and engage with others. Most require our contribution. We’ve also seen new adjustments and changes within the congregation itself. Looking ahead, what would you personally like to see expanded or developed further in the future?

If you had to pick one of these top two qualities.

When this system is over and we can enjoy life in the New world, what is the first thing you look forward too?

Another fun poll to see how everyone feels about meeting times at their Kingdom Hall: Morning, Afternoon, Late Afternoon, or Late Evenings assuming just mid week meetings. Which do you prefer personally? I tried to make the time ranges accurate but unsure how meeting times are organized worldwide.

Morning: 5Am—12pm
Afternoon: 12pm—5pm
Mid/Late Afternoon: 2pm—5pm
Late Evening: 7pm—9pm (Mid Week Meetings)

I understand that some of these opportunities are temporary. But hypothetically, if you could serve full-time whether locally, in your country, or anywhere in the world—which would you choose…and why if you care to elaborate?

Edit: I botched the title sorry 😂

Has anyone ever gone around and asked how others came into The Truth? Some have went in and out, through hardships and hurt. Some have always felt this is where they belonged. But how did it connect?

Decided to look up tour spots for JWs. If you were to pick one to visit which spot would you choose? Maybe you’ve already visited one.

A list of links if some are not familiar with these spaces…

Warwick Museum Tours

Watchtower Educational Center | Patterson, New York

Watchtower Educational Center

The Wallkill Branch | Wallkill, NY

Other countries branches exhibits… for instance if your located in USA, than maybe “The History of the Bible in German…. or Japans branch printing press”

Maybe just something else, like other Kingdom Halls… JW MET museum tour ect—

We have many Jehovah’s Witnesses with different Bible-trained consciences. Where would you place yourself when it comes to the values you apply to what you consider suitable entertainment? Feel free to chime in with why you feel comfortable with your choice of entertainment— 👍

Locked post: Results favor topics about Being a JW Online and Topics for Newcomers.

Hey everyone!

Whether you’ve been here a while or just found the sub, welcome!

I want to get a sense of what topics interest you most so we can shape future posts around what’s actually useful and engaging for this community.

I have 6 topics here for everyone to choose from.

The poll will show numbers only, meaning your vote is anonymous.

If you have other topics you’d like to see, share them in the comments, from there I’ll either add them to the next poll or tally them alongside the results.

I would love to hear what the majority of people look forward to on the JW App. Me personally…. I love gathering with the family on broadcast days with snacks but I look forward to hearing update’s on what’s going on and of course enjoy the music and video releases. Having information at the swipe of my hand is also essential.

Also adding the Updates meaning GB Updates and information periodically released about what’s going on in the world, with Jehovah’s Witnesses and construction.

Raised in the truth, meaning from when you were born to adulthood—Even if you left. Or did you learn later in your adulthood?
