I have an African Grey parrot. He will eat anything, chicken, chocolate biscuits, toast, Marmite, whatever. He'll devour a red-hot chilli in seconds. So the fact that parrots have been known to eat meat when it's available might excite JWs's, but to us parroteers it's perfectly normal.

Parrots Turn Carnivores.....Media Article ..Sure to get J.W.`s all excited .
by smiddy inthe first part was a heading in the herald sun newspaper tues.sep.15 ,2015 melbourne victoria .. , lorikeets and other parrots are becoming meat eaters---and researchers want to know why.. griffith university professor darryl jones has heard the herbivorous bird was eating mince left out by bird feeders in brisbane (australia ) "in two weeks i had about 500 emails from across the country all saying lorikeets were eating meat" he said.. that will surely get the faithful thinking the big "a" is almost upon us.. in the 1960`s i was told that buzzards and other carnivorous birds were laying twice as many eggs than was normal proving the big "a' was almost here.. here we go again.

Is this a subtle clue that the leaders really see the "great tribulation" of the WT coming soon?
by never a jw insimilarly, we cannotexpect that the future interruption inthe great tribulation will result in aninflux of new believers.
rather, it willbe an opportunity for all true believersto prove their love for jehovah andgive their support to christs brothers.. (par.
7, page 16, wt july 2015).

I'd say that they're preparing to set a new date. The comment re not to expect an influx of new believers is simply to cover themselves in the event that they're accused of setting dates to actually get an influx of new believers!
There's so much "hidden" goings on in WT speak - any politician or salesman can see it a mile off.

If the monarchy were done away with, then we'd simply finish up with a prime minister and a president to replace the monarch as happens in France. Plus, the UK monarch does, at least in theory, have the power of veto over the government should they decide to vote themselves in perpetuity. The monarch also has no political axe to grind and therefore can be far more objective than an elected leader. -

It appears that around 70% of Brits are in favour of retaining the monarchy.

JW UN Rumor
by ivanatahan inyes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.
that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).
i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.

So have vultures been spotted over England yet again, ready to feast on the armageddon dead?
PS. We don't have vultures in England. Or termites. Or rattlesnakes.

When my father died, my non-JW auntie and uncle attended the funeral talk. They said they expected to come to a funeral -not observe a commercial. -

Just planted my Christmas new potatoes. You have to buy special seed potatoes then put them in sacks filled with compost. Normally you plant pots in April, but you can buy special seed pots that have been held back artificially but will still grow in our UK weather and be just perfect for Christmas dinner. The best variety is Charlotte.

My hanging baskets are looking pretty good this year. They're trailing tropical shades begonias. I've put them on brackets attached to the fence posts around our decking.
