this guy has to have the most courage of anyone i've ever seen or balls the size of basketballs.he actually gives a good talk and has tidbits scattered about throughout his public talk with hints,suggestions,innuendos of the wt organization.i never want to go in another kingdom hall again in my life but would have made an exception just to be in this audience.

lolnotice what's going on in the audience when they realize somethings up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqqt0y1peuu.

This is the best ever.

No WT bashing - it he had not said 'at all levels in the org' he probably could have done the full 30 minutes.

No matter, that audience must not know what to think.

I got a new visit by an elder and an ms .

by Chook in

the conversation soon got to spiritual subjects, this elder is company man all through and side kick well he's learning the ropes.

bang mentioned snake antivenin, blood factions, then big geoffrey jackson saying presumptuous, then vin toole in the arc saying he had never heard of theocratic warfare.

then told how god made exceptions to the rules on blood when soldiers ate unbled meat.

your in big shit for an adult after 2 1/2 hours , children can die in an hour, adults 3, horses 6. We have a worse snake up north in Queensland called a Taipan, adults 1 hour nuked.

What do you think? Did the fangs and lethal venom of these snakes evolve? Or were they designed?

Learning the History of the Australia Royal Commission

by berrygerry in

as there is way too much info for me to parse and research, i may be unaware of more info.. however, i only just stumbled upon this news article of 2011 which referenced steven unthank.. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/archive/news/former-witness-taking-on-watch-tower/news-story/320c3f2aa9a00f76501152dd6d9144ab.

this is turn led to this article, which imo, appears a gentle attempt to undermine mr. unthank.. https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/222099/steven-unthank-what-do-we-really-know.

in view of the phenomenal coverup revealed by the arc, and as the above thread is five years old, i thought it appropriate to give mr. unthank tremendous "thanks" for his courage and determination..

by Distracted in

i was sitting at a local city event enjoying watching an activity.

a friendly looking woman dressed in blue jeans and a floppy hippy looking top came and sat down besides me.

she notices i am sketching and says she likes to do this too.

Are Dubs trained to do this? No, not at all.

I'm giving up in 2017! (More steps in my fading)

by Skepsis in

when i joined this site at the beginning of this year, i was serving as an uber-zealous regular pioneer and ms in a foreign congregation where the need is greater.

i was giving public talks and having parts at regional conventions.

had started to have doubts but i hadn't time to focus on them, i simply was overcharged with so many activities and things to do.. i started by quitting pioneering but couldn't think i would give further steps for a long time.

weeks after you start to fade, you start to think straight and you realize that all these rules and regulations are designed to keep you locked up in the organization. It's really about money.

Eons ago, a CO told the pioneers in our congo that it only takes missing meetings for three weeks to fall out of the truth. Which makes no sense. It is either the truth or it is not.

The steady bombardment of indoctrination is what keeps people hanging on by their fingernails to a fantasy.

Russell's Pyramidology Originated In Edinburgh Scotland

by cofty in

the edinburgh city observatory sits atop calton hill at the east end of the city centre adjacent to burn's monument, scotland's national monument modelled on the parthenon, and nelson's monument with the time ball that falls at 1pm every day except sundays.. .

the second astronomer royal of edinburgh was charles piazzi smyth (jan. 1819 - feb. 1900).

smyth was a man of many and varied interests including meteorology, producing weather observations that still form an important part of uk climate records to this day.. building on the work of james taylor, smyth became fascinated by the great pyramid of egypt at giza.

Maybe somebody else also won't be aware of that and might find the OP interesting.

Yes.

Eloise Dupuis' husband gets medical files (Quebec, Canada)

by OrphanCrow in

this article is in french but it translates fairly well:.

the husband of a jehovah's witness who died after giving birth.

the husband of eloïse dupuis, a jehovah's witness who died after giving birth at the hôtel-dieu de lévis, may have the complete medical record of the deceased.a text by yannick bergeron.

berrygerry

I wouldn't be surprised if he has been receiving "spiritual direction" from the WT's ~~spiritual~~ legal/medical team. They will be looking for ways to counteract whatever the coroner finds in his investigation. It isn't just Eloise's husband who has a stake in this. The HLC, their bloodless experts who took over medical treatment advice, and the WT - all have an interest.
