  Another one bites the dust?

  a long time jw wife left her husband, an elder, recently.

  when mrs sheep told me, i asked what happened.

  the black clouds of mordor rolled over the hills of the shire behind our house and i rapidly withdrew to my cave.. later, i suggested, in wide eyed innocence, that she should give her a ring as she probably needs all the friends she can get at this time.

  I have no idea why she got out. Maybe she realises it's shonky, or maybe, like me, she just couldn't hack it and so will spend future years with a guilt complex.

  I have no way of finding out. Dark looks from my wife warn me that it is none of my business. We seldom talk about religion, but she knows that I have recently changed from long term drifted to educating myself in debunking WT nonsense with their own literature.

  Our families are about the same age, so I will probably find out through the kids.

  I think she lives down by my compost heap. I'll set up a web cam and see if I can spot her.

  It might be something else, of course.

  Mrs Sheep would have met the lady's ex at a recent assembly, so I asked how he was getting on. "Not very happy, I have rung her." "How is she?" "Better than she has been in years" The black clouds of Mordor rolled over the hills and I withdrew to my cave to throw another frog into the brew.

  TXT this morning from one of my kids, "Did you know that #### has left ### and dissed herself?"

  The clouds rolled back, I grabbed the boat and went fishing.

  Bad sunburn, good beer, nice fish.

  Now it's wrong to sweep up!!!

  at a meeting last thursday night, so i'm reliably informed, a brother was sweeping up outside the kh as he always does every meeting.

  on this occasion however, he was taken to one side by an elder, told it was not his place to sweep the front of the hall, and to go back to a neighbouring congregation as he is "not wanted here!".

  maybe only the super-righteous can sweep in public and the rest of us slosh out the latrines!!!!!!!!!

  ...and to go back to a neighbouring congregation...

  He may have had his nose out of joint with his assigned Cong.

  Maybe he had been sweeping without a licence there too.

  Does the average witness still believe in Armageddon?

  by czarofmischief in

  i havent' been to kingdom hall in over a year, and i haven't talked to any dubs other than my parents for three years now.

  i was wondering if anybody still had any contacts in the truth and how the average dub is feeling about the immediacy of armageddon?.

  i remember growing up that this was an omnipresent motivation, especially when the whole "peace and security" thing happened in the early nineties, and we were expecting "sudden destruction" after the collapse of the soviet union.. but safe to say, i'm not worried about armageddon anymore - and i was wondering what the feeling was in the congregations.... czar

  Seventeen years ago people said, concerning the time features presented in MILLENNIAL DAWN, They seem reasonable in many respects, but surely no such radical changes could occur between now and the close of 1914: if you had proved that they would come about in a century or two, it would seem much more probable.

  What changes have since occurred, and what velocity is gained daily! "The old is quickly passing, and the new is coming in."

  Now, in view of recent labor troubles and threatened anarchy, our readers are writing to know if there may not be a mistake in the 1914 date. They say that they do not see how present conditions can hold out so long under the strain.

  Zion's Watch Tower, 15 July 1894, p. 226

  My father said something very similar to this a few days ago. Despite being a Witless through the failed 1941&75 prophesies, he is still convinced that Armageddon is just around the corner.

  I got rid of my microwave oven several years ago, before this article came out, as a precautionary health measure. Some of the reasons are covered here.

  Unfortunately I have cancelled my addys that got all the scammers. I might have to reinstate them until I can find me one.

  Meanwhile, if you want a little inspiration, and a damned fine chortle, there may be some lessons here.
