  He is just mad because no one was around to bring him his Mc Donald's fries and ketchup on Juneteenth.

  His biggest fans are in the deep south and bible belt in the "land of cotton" where those lazy poor need to work two jobs and get those kids to work young...fulltime. "In 2025, several states will have the lowest minimum wage, adhering to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. These states include Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

  Sorry folks...The above post was from me not 3rd Gen. (She was still logged in and the copy paste didn't format right so the photos are missing.) :( Some of the copy, and one of the photos showing the "JW" behind a Salvation Army Bell Ringing sign are a hoot.

  That's all! The end.

  For 45 years, Iran has been shouting death to America and Israel.

  Tiny Israel has swept Iran's air force from the skies in a few short days.

  Reminds me of Saddam's promised "mother of all battles".

  This area has been at war since the beginning of recorded history.

  How is your day going? :)

  Juneteenth being celebrated by JWs

  so today i saw a group of jws i know, we were sitting down to eat at a public place and i guess they (mom and daughter) were performing at an event with their sports team… for juneteenth.. they (the entire team) happened to sit next to us for some fast food and i recognized them and said hi, hoping to make them uncomfortable.

  they actually said hi and introduced themselves to my family, i’ve seen them before (they go to the same school as one of my kids) and they usually ignore me.

  i know for a fact they and their family still goes, the family patriarch is an elder etc.

  Just JWs doing what most JWs do. 3rd Gen calls it "Cafeteria beliefs"....they pick and choose what THEY think is important. Father's Day, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, and Juneteenth are non-religious, innocuous holidays to most JWs. Even so, because of Watchtower flip-flops and overzealous Elders, celebrations are kept on the down-low.

  Trump Considering Options Including Possible U.S. Strike Against Iran Amid Conflict With Israel

  President says U.S. knows location of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

  President Trump is considering a range of options, including a potential U.S. strike against Iran, and met with top advisers in the Situation Room at the White House on Tuesday, administration officials said. Trump earlier said on social media that the U.S. knew the location of the country's leader but was choosing not to take any action, and then said, "UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!"

  The president left a G-7 summit in Canada early, saying he wasn’t doing so to work on a cease-fire in the dayslong conflict between Israel and Iran but for something “much bigger than that.” Asked to clarify, Trump said he wanted “an end, a real end, not a cease-fire.”

  The White House has said the U.S. isn’t joining Israel’s attacks on Iran, amid speculation fueled by recent military buildup in the region. A third U.S. Navy destroyer entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea to help defend Israel, and a second U.S. carrier strike group is heading toward the Arabian Sea.

  While the Pentagon says the military buildup is purely defensive, it puts the U.S. on a firmer footing to join Israeli attacks on Iran should Trump decide to do that. Alternatively, it could be a tactic to pressure Iran to capitulate or make concessions.

  Israel and Iran continued to exchange fire, and the death toll in Iran rose to above 450, according to a human-rights group. In Israel, 24 people have died as a result of Iranian strikes.

  What else to know:

  The U.N. atomic agency said an Israeli strike directly hit the underground halls at Iran’s largest enrichment facility, Natanz.

  Germany’s chancellor said Israel was doing the “dirty work” for other countries by striking Iran’s nuclear sites.

  Oil prices rose again as Vice President JD Vance said President Trump “may decide he needs to take further action to end Iranian enrichment.”

  The Israeli military said it killed one of Iran’s most senior military commanders in an airstrike in Tehran.

  Tehran residents reported long lines at gas stations and traffic jams as people rushed to flee the city, anticipating more attacks.

  Where is Tony?

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  From watching his videos, Tony struck me as a self-assuming A-hole. The kind of guy who is considered "difficult" in any workplace or body of elders.

  Perhaps his wife felt that way and wanted a separation...or just moved in with relatives. Separations, and divorces are not unknown at Bethel. Heck just look at the first two Watchtower presidents. Perhaps between drinking and marital issues Tony no longer qualified???? Who knows, or cares. A nearby ex-jw has driven by his place on his way to Home Depot...and talked about on this site.

  The Four Horses of the Apocalypse - In Truth

  by EisMe in

  1. now i saw when the lamb opened one of the seals; and i heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “come and see.” 2. and i looked, and behold, a white horse.

  he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

  6. and i heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “a quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” (rev.

  The middle east has been at war since the Bronze age...possibly longer.

  Will the Israelis destroy ALL Iran's nukes/research sites? Probably not if they are multi-stories deep....but with no power, air, or elevators they may have become buried tombs for many years.

  Based on history and watching videos of kindergarteners play "kill the Jews" I have little hope the players will ever be friends. However I could be wrong, look at the hate and destruction of WW2...and the major players today.

  My selfish concern is Iranian sleeper agents/terrorists targeting large "Western" events in the near future.

  9:16 pm PST. The BBC had live coverage a few minutes ago. Early AM in Tehran. Bombing still going on. They seem to be decapitating Iranian military leadership. Seems the Israelis made up their minds right after the UN Announcement this morning that Iran was not in compliance and still pursuing Nukes.

  Latest NYT story a few minutes ago: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/12/world/israel-iran-us-nuclear?unlocked_article_code=1.Ok8.iB_A.iXkV_E8Mhggt&smid=url-share

  By their own standards, they are no longer ...

  by their own standards, they are no longer "jehovah's witnesses”.

  .. i finally got a hold of the "od book" (organized to do jehovah's will), the book that replaced the other "organized" book for field service and congregational arrangements.

  i was reading through this and noticed an irony starting on page 155. this section deals with "disassociation"... (i'm sure others have already seen or discussed this, but i've been running behind lately).. "a person might renounce his place in the christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming  part of a secular organization that has objectives contrary to the bible and, hence, is under judgment by jehovah god.
