  If they made 14400k symbolic how many jws would start to claim to be anointed?

  since there's debate here about wether the literal interpretation of the 14400k could be changed to symbolic, i was thinking such an announcement would allow for any jw to claim to be going to heaven... in which case i wonder how many jws would suddenly claim to have "been called"?.

  i can think of many arrogant holier than thou types who would be jumping on that bandwagon immediately!

  Movie-goers can be fickle (great movies that should've enjoyed huge box-office success)

  just thought i'd start a thread about this topic.. john carpenter's the thing (1982) was a great film, one of his best imo.

  for me, it's right up there with alien (1979) as one of the greatest sci-fi horror films ever made.

  and yet one film made anything between $100 - 200 million at the box office whereas the other made only $19 million.

  Agreed, vidiot.

  I thought the The Burbs was hilarious and underrated.

  What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

  i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

  he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

  interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

  Ministry School Overseer aka Elder Left School at 15 Unintelligible Broken English talking about the importance of "good pro-nown-ment" and the use of "hyperballs" (hyperbole) when "tiching" to name a few but made thursday nights interesting. Interestingly Brother Snooze took over from him who had to have been 100 if a day.

  The irony of it seemed absolutely lost on the BoE...hmmm or was it.

  It seemed like the unspoken policy was to assign every position to an inappropriate-for-the-job brother.

  Gotta love that theocratic educayshun though.

  in spain (and the rest of europe), the "improved" data protection laws come into force on 25th may 2018. this is a good thing and sadly america is still lagging behind; not surprising with their current president!.

  watchtower legal department are hot on the case and have instructed elders to hand out the new "release" forms out to all the publishers in their groups, whilst making it clear to them that they won't have any privileges if they refuse to do so!.

  note these points in the instructions:.

  Can you imagine all the data they already have after years of this social experiment masquerading as a religion!

  Now with everybody logging on to dot borg they will have access to a hell of a lot more.

  question answered.

  Is this some kind of freudian psyche test because I too was looking for a giant bottom shaped headquarters.

  If it wasn't for those very helpful people posting pics I would still be looking for a bum 😄 so thanks guys.

  BTW I think it looks more like a camel also.

  Personal information is useful, personal data collected on large groups of people is valuable.

  It was ony a matter of time before they did this, par for the course in their transformation into a cyber religion.

  Multi-culturalism is a failed experiment worldwide. Can we call time on it already? Not likely.

  Lloyd’s new book

  i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

  i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

  Yeah, I always thought it a bit cheeky running an apostate nerve centre from a JW relative's house! LOL!

  sorry for the use of "the spouse" and "s" (for spouse).

  still trying to protect our identities.. well, i started questioning everything about 2 years ago.

  woke myself up.. the spouse wasn't thrilled at all.

  First year not going to the memorial is quite a milestone in a JW's emancipation. Well done you!
