hey simon:do you think that the wts could learn something in the orange crush steamrolling a 44-year dynasty?.
for non-albertans (a province in canada), a 44-year ruling party got tossed on their ass, with extreme prejudice.. in the last little while, they behaved exactly like wts does to their subjects.. the dark ages - are they ending?.
Hey Simon:
Do you think that the WTS could learn something in the Orange Crush steamrolling a 44-year dynasty?
For non-Albertans (a province in Canada), a 44-year ruling party got tossed on their ass, with extreme prejudice.
In the last little while, they behaved exactly like WTS does to their subjects.
The Dark Ages - are they ending?
painfully reading an article of may 15, 2015 (extra-simplified edition) and again observed this phraseology: the bible does not say, but .... so, did satan hope to tempt her with the luxurious palaces of pharaoh and abimelech?
did satan think that she would betray her husband and even jehovah by marrying one of those kings?
the bible does not say, but it is very likely that the devil would have been overjoyed if sarah had lost the opportunity to become part of the messiahs family line.. .

I remember this years ago - The Bible does not say, but.
Any psyche-type people want to comment?
i recently researched on jw dot org why toasts are not allowed.
in the article, they candidly admit that wedding bands also have pagan origins, but their modern understanding trumps this fact since they serve another function: signifying whether or not a person is married.
same with neck ties, i guess (although their pagan origins were not mentioned in the article).
The WTS senior cultists scour every single human practice in order to further ingratiate themselves into the cult persona.
Case in point is the aforementioned clinking of glasses.
One particular cultist leader (that is, an Elder) who, prior to, had somewhat of a successful business practice, at least once year, made a practice of commenting at KH meetings about business lunches whereby he declined to clink glasses with his worldly companions, and thereupon commenced detailing the horrific Satanic origin of the practice, that is, to chase away demons (shriek), as per WTS teaching.
However, what is of interest in googling (damn that Satan for creating Google) the actual origin of clinking glasses. ( https://www.google.com/search?q=why+clink+glasses&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 )

i need to change congregation but stay living in the same place.
any experience with this.
think less than 50% of the people in my hall live in the territory. I didn't realize this was still a taboo thing.
This changed several years ago.
In times past, there was an annual reminder that all should attend their assigned congregation. A few years ago, this was changed to: We'd rather have you attend another congo than fade away.
'no one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.'.
many have been hurt by the practice of shunning.
family members, [former?
Alright, goof, I'll play.
So, you're assking, my "friend" is shunning me, and, by this display of friendship, would I lay down my life for such a friend?
Is that the question, f*%^tard?
i find it hard to believe that adults on this forum make such a big deal about not celebrating birthdays, x-mas, easter, halloween, etc, etc, etc.
i grew up as a jw kid and it actually made me feel good, being different from the other kids in school.
we went to meetings.

HI. I'm a troll.
Could I post something to invigourate several dozen people to get excited and post rebuttals?
i cant recall the scripture, where it says than only a few men will he live to be 80 years or so, can anyone recall that?.
so then im wondering, if it is a fact that men lived long years 900 in some cases, for what reason would god limit our lifespan if our time is so short compared to his?.
how on earth does man go from living 8 and 9 hundred years down to 80 to 100 ?.
why did man go from living 900 years to 90?
Poor math skills?
in the apostasy trial - part 2, one of the illuminati elders states that "satan is using google.".
it would appear that the elder is correct.. "google (googl, tech30) once again revived its "person finder" tool this weekend.
the tool helps people search for and post information about missing friends and family in the disaster zone.

Satan knows that there are few to no JW's affected by this sign of the end, and no funds or valuable time should hence be wasted on persons who God will be destroying shortly anyway.
What will that endlessly-evil Satan and his Google do next?
a website of a canadian law firm has the following references about extortion:.
in canada, the 2008 version of the criminal code prohibits extortion as set out at 346(1): .
"every one commits extortion who, without reasonable justification or excuse and with intent to obtain anything, by threats, accusations, menaces or violence induces or attempts to induce any person, whether or not he is the person threatened, accused or menaced or to whom violence is shown, to do anything or cause anything to be done.".

In R v Davis, Chief Justice lamer of Canada's Supreme Court wrote, in 1999:
"Extortion criminalizes intimidation and interference with freedom of choice. It punishes those who, through threats, accusations, menaces, or violence induce or attempt to induce their victims into doing anything or causing anything to be done. Threats, accusations, menaces and violence clearly intimidate. When threats are coupled with demands, there is an inducement to accede to the demands. This interferes with the victim's freedom of choice, as the victim may be coerced into doing something he or she would otherwise have chosen not to do."
Does the act, or the threat, of shunning, or forcing JW members to shun, fall under those references (I know U.S. members disagree, but looking for Commonwealth thought)?
i have been out of the religion since 1996. i used to come to former witness boards a lot in the distant past, and then i lost interest in the subject.
however, with a couple relatives still in and passing the 1914 one hundred year mark, i find myself looking to see what a modern jehovah's witness is believing.
could i get kind of an update on some things.
