Elders and Attendants sing, clap and turn backs on Street Preacher after Duluth RC.

by ToesUp in

very strange behavior by the attendants and elders after the duluth, ga, rc.

on the first link the attendants start to exit the arena, then line up and turn their backs on the street preachers.

(around the 6:00 mark).. elders and attendants after duluth rc.

ToesUp: The shiny little family on stage that portrays "spirituality", all the while they keep their dirty little secrets under wrap. It's all about appearances in the JW cult!!!

It is not just the JW cult. I find that all religious people are like that, to some degree or other. Those who have the shiniest faces and the neatest appearance are those who are the happiest - they have found a mask to hide behind. Religion suits their purposes. It forgives them of the sins they need to keep hidden.

My now deceased father-in-law said it best:

"If you ever move to a town with the goal of setting up a business, go to church first. Sit in the back and pay attention to those who attend. The ones who sit in the front and those who say "Amen" the loudest...those are the ones you can't trust. Don't do business with them. "

here are the wolves at blackpool zoo, the wolves i did my dissertation on.. they're iberian wolves - a population of grey wolves that are native to spain and portugal.

the iberian wolf is smaller and darker than the wolves found in canada or the us.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmnjgoxviii .

Yes, it is a serious point. Dark humor.

Humans have done some really irresponsible breeding. It's pretty sick what some breeds have to suffer with. All because of what people have done to them.

I am a fan of big dog breeds.

Our Canadian wolves are much bigger than yours. I lived in the Northern Boreal for several years and had a few wolf encounters. I have seen wolves that measure well over 7 feet tip to tip. Wolves are hunted and trapped where I come from - they kill livestock They are quite a problem in some areas. One of the packs that ran a few miles from town numbered over 60. And that was just one pack of several.

I used to go to sleep at night listening to their music coming across the river.

I didn't like seeing them skinned out. Broke my heart.

Jeff: I 'd be surprised if there are any big

stories in the buyers, for them it's just a another transaction

Why?

That is an assumption

We don't know that

We don't know who the buyers are

Has anyone investigated who the buyers were/are?

Some of the buyers listed are really vague. Some are foreign and they seem to be set up specifically for a single purchase on a single property.

The money trail goes both ways. Who is next in line on the profit train?

Confused and angry - yes.

The quack notions of animal magnetism is deeply rooted in WT lore. For all we know, the Abrams electric box is still in use by the Muppets at the top.

Gio: I think they got off lightly.

Probably. However, this part of their sentence could be excruciatingly painful for them:

The family members will also have to attend counselling to teach them critical thinking and reasoning skills.

Whoever is so unlucky as to draw this family as part of their counselling session is going to have quite the job on their hands. Their counselor deserves extra pay.
