out of interest--is 40 spelt fourty in Oz? its forty in the UK
is it spelt--or spelled ?
many,many years ago i went into a florist shop and ordered a wreath and a sympathy card to be delivered to my home .the sales lady looked at me and saw that i wasn`t very old and offered her condolences to me .. i apologised to her and said oh no ,nobody`s died ,it`s just that my wife has been going off lately about her turning fourty ,so i thought i would commiserate with her by doing this.. on the other hand when i turned fourty i went out and bought myself a pair of ice skates ..

i understand it’s a cult.
but what makes an intelligent person actually believe they have the “truth” as taught by jehovah’s witnesses??
?.
take the title question a stage further--
i don`t wish them any real harm or death or anything ,but i feel that if a few of them contracted the virus it might wake a few more up that their is no god to protect them from what is happening in the world.. after all they are living in a hot spot aren`t they ?.
am i wrong in wishing this to befall some of them ?
as a wake up call ?
i dont wish this disease on anybody. as regards these governing body puppets--i do wish the would all resign--quit--go apostate--whatever---then see what happens to the cult.
today's article prods active jws to participate in the effort to reactivate us backsliders.. unfortunately, it fails to prepare the participants to adequately address the real reasons so many have left and want nothing frtherethan to be left alone: the un and child abuse scandals, prophetic failures; dumbed-down, increasingly specious and simplistic verbiage in literature and talks, the cult of personality and unwarranted veneration of those 8 singularly unremarkable members of the gb, etc., etc..
just one thing that gets in the way. dont the faithful regard us apostates and d'f'd as dead ?
the britain branch has called a confidential meeting tonight with a controversial announcement.
the message is of such import that it was transmitted by word of mouth only, nothing in writing, ears only.
a decision made by the governing body of jehovah's witnesses and transmitted orally down the chain of command, a decision proving the leadership of this spirit lead body.. the gdpr laws in the uk have been interpreted by wt lawyers so that all record keeping relating to the public has been banned, telephone witnessing and letter writing also, forbidden.. now in a show of supreme bravado the publishers are to be informed that if they wish to, if they dare, they may write to people at their own risk.. bear in mind, nothing is in writing.
so--in fact then--the preaching work in the UK is now more or less--dead. good.

without actual k hall meetings--maybe the elders will be instructed to go to the dubs at home to shake them down for contributions .
...slaps his thigh before looking up and collapsing with laughter.by gum, what am i doing in this place again lol?just got it into me 'ead to see if i could see one or two of the old names i used to banter with years ago in here.

sorry about that--cut off in my prime..

i wonder what the true membership numbers really are for the civilised ? countries--if all these halls are being sold.
yesterday i had occasion to drive past the hall my ex wife and daughter attend--shanklin isle of Wight UK. i know the place isnt currently used because of the lockdown, but to see the iron gates chained shut and the sign board removed tempted me to think it could go up for sale.
Another thought...with these zoom online meetings--it could end up a lot of halls being disposed of--and several congs sharing--each having say one meeting a month in hall--the rest online. Here on the I o W, there used to be 5 halls--now down to three--could easily get by with just one.
i had it confirmed today that 5 kingdom halls on one site in new addington are for sale.
price being asked £3.5 million.. every witness in london worked on that site.
am in shock.
jehovah must be turning in his grave.
