i used to get seriously pissed off every time i heard "jehovah god". its not his first and last name--like john smith.. but then if someone seriously believes in a gigantic invisible man in the sky, they are capable of believing anything.

Using gods name
by Gorbatchov ini've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.

Jesus on the stake
by dothemath ini sat in recently with some relatives for the sunday meeting.
the talk was given by a bethel speaker, who at one point quoted john 20:25.
“but he said to them: “unless i see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, i will never believe it.”.

JC was dying on the
crossstake.he calls out to Peter
"Peter--come unto me"
"yes Lord" replies Peter--and fights his way past the Roman guards to get to Jesus...who gasps:
"Peter..Peter..'
"yes Lord"
"Peter.....i can see your house from up here "

Another Unnecessary Early Death
by Slidin Fast ina young man in somerset in england, under massive pressure from financial and relationship issues lapsed into mental illness.
he was unlucky enough to have as his support system the local congregation of jehovah's witnesses.
one of the symptoms of his illness was the use of tobacco.

it is very difficult--long winded and expensive to " import" a "foreign" spouse into the UK.
i'm in the process--and we are now 4 years in to the 5 years settlement route, which will have cost me about 10,000 pounds overall. there are conditions to meet--including a minimum income or other financial means. like many other Brits--i knew nothing of all this when we first met and started a relationship.

Zoom meetings, how long ?
by Phizzy ini was wondering two things, 1: how long in total are the zoom meetings, i presume the sunday one is the longest ?.
and 2: if you use zoom for free, the session only lasts 40 minutes, so do they have an intermission so people can log back in, or are all jw's expected to pay for the "privilege" ?.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?
by Black Man ini often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.
while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).
a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Anyone heard of Ron Drage or Ron Rage at London Bethel?

His name crops up on here from time to time. Last mention of him he was seriously ill, so i dont know if he's still alive.
