so that was a "shocker".
i was not able to attend the meeting.
i had a more important one with my other apostate friends in the area.
134 attended the CO visit.
118 average attendance.
Wow! The cong I'm suposedly in was over 90 average attendance midweek and over 100 on Sunday 8yrs ago.
Now - Barely reaches 40 midweek and 50 on Sunday.
Never see thm doing D2D anymore either, only 3 or four years back groups were regularly seen.
ok, this probably applies to most faith systems that believe in any sort of afterlife, but i would like to know what sort of explanation the jw's would come up with for this little problem, you know, after armageddon on earthly paradise.
sorry if i sound dumb, but it's been nagging at me for a few weeks and have to ask.. so, what if a young married jw couple are living their life, waiting for the big a, knowing they will be together in the earthly paradise, then very sadly one of them dies.
from what i know, if a jw dies, that's it.
Thanks for those scripture references James Brown "...when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching." It reminds me of The Life Of Brian and the crowds audibly gasping whenever Brian said anything.😄
how has offending become the worst crime of the 21st century?
actually, forget being offensive, just telling the truth that may be uncomfortable or offensive.

How will the Governments get people on board to accept the target amount of Muslim refugees when the press go around calling out Islam when calling out Islam makes many people nervous about accepting large amounts of muslim refugees. Not saying calling out muslim terrorists is either good or bad -maybe yes maybe no, just wondering about the ulterior motives on the part of the Governments and the EU.
well, i went to the kh.... why?
i had my reasons, but i had a real nice cocktail before hand.
anyway, the talk was "why does god permit suffering?
Too bad for any married JWs who got DFd for confessing to regularly engaging in some kind of sexual act WT had previously deemed as "perverted." It sucks to be a jw - pun intened.
according to christianity, the death of jesus was a miscarriage of justice.
so then, what if there was no so-called miscarriage of justice so that jesus was not put to death by the romans but he instead died a natural death?
would christians still receive the forgiveness of their sins and their hoped for salvation?.
Death by cross was probly considered a "natural" death in the first century.😉
just skimming the latest study wt that has been posted and what did i see...?.
i wonder what the message is that they want the flock to take from this picture?.
there is also an article about training younger men to take over responsibilities.
Blatant pantsism!
Are their any isms WT doesn't engage in?
i have never understood this.
was it because of legal reasons?
i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.
Makes you wonder why people who call their organization "the truth" would be so afraid of recording it.
What are they hiding by not allowing the recording of JCs? Their policies or elder's behavior and attitude?
Maybe they don't want a record of witness testimonies of the sorts of injustices that occur within the congs.
Probably all of the above.
just a few minutes till the start ..... we hope for a news from absalom and wifibandit very soon.. wifibandit, any tread on reddit for am?.
also there were some info about live stream.
any news about that..
With that leaky boat aka bethel and apostates with you tube channels as far as the eye can see they would know better than to announce any grand scoop at the AGM.
Only public business now I spose. Party poopers.

Everybody's talkin bout my tightpants......
much is being said during the usa election run-up and trump-clinton debates about checking the facts of statements made by each candidate.
this is, of course, serious stuff as the direction of the countries future depends on just who is elected into office of the president of the united states of america.
not president of the local 'glee club' or the 'southside knitting society' , but, the president of the united states of america.
GB would respond to fact checking with.
"Not one ounce of fact or fuck will be given today"
