in one form or another i've been a member of this site for almost 10 years.
in the past this was a great place for debate, news and support for ex jws.
i logged on several times a day and posted several times a week.
ive been on here about 10 years now--and there has been a big drop off of active members--and i miss some of them.
i havent the slightest interest or understanding of British politics-yet alone US politics . I dont even know what republican or democrat means--is there any real difference ?
i'm here because there is nowhere else to go. ( I'm in Exjw redditt--but i cant get on with it. )
thousands of migrants have come to england this year, already beating last year's total.. some may have fled syria and other war-torn countries; others are economic migrants.. let me try to get my head around this phenomenon: migrants are relatively safe in france and other countries.
they then leave the relative safety of continental europe and risk their lives and that of their children by crossing the english channel in rubber dinghies.
there's just no fixing stupid, is there .
i suppose the simplest , cheapest way of dealing with this unwanted illegal immigration issue is arrest, imprisonment ( short term) and repatriation. If the individual has somehow " lost" his passport--or memory of where he came from--then transport him to another country that will welcome him. North Korea for instance. Cheaper to pay NK to take them than keep them here. It only needs a few to start the rumour. End of problem.

i used to have a zodiac inflatable with an outboard motor. i used it for having a bit of fun on the water--but close to the beach. i could get 6 adults in it--and it would nip along quite quickly.
No way would i ever go offshore in it--especially full up with people. The English channel is a very busy seaway--and i know what its like being close to a cross channel ferry bearing down on me.
I think these immigrants have either been sold a dream--or are coming across to work illegally for friends and family. Most terrorists in the UK are born and grown up here.
please how do someone become an anointed christian in watchtower organization.
i informed my elders in my congo that i am an anointed christian..
Bola needs to get laid. That will cure him.

i dont think these would be immigrants have spent all theyve got--and risk drowning--to come to Britain to go on the dole.
Also--we are critically short of workers at the bottom of the pay scale.
from haaretz newspaper:.
what does a pig skeleton discovered in jerusalem say about first temple era jews?.
the argument here is that sanctions on eating pork were only introduced in the 2nd temple era.. so what does that tell you bout biblical accuracy.. .
Any other ideas?
maybe pigs ate jews ?

i think you have to get your penis amputated.
i didn’t hear any about me, my dad was there to squash any of that.
but, a guy who left on his 18th birthday, moved cross country, had the rumor started (by elders), that he was now in prison for selling cocaine.
lol, he’s an artist in california.
i can only guess at the goss that must have gone around when i finally got the chop.
i had started an affaire with a married sis i had always fancied. Her husband and i were friends: i was teaching him to drive. He confided in me his marriage was in a bad way--no sex. I was surprised-to say the least. Long story short--he suggested to me we could try a bit of swapping to liven things up. LOL--it did that alright. ( He was baptised ! But rather weak in every way )
this is how it started:
I attended the circuit assembly--and the 4 of us sat together in the public talk. Afterwards--he invited us to their place for the evening. After a meal--he and my wife went to their kitchen to clean up--and he whispered to my to try my luck with his wife--give her a kiss--see what happened . I did.
Over the next few weeks it all got way out of hand. My wife filed for divorce--even though we were still living together. I moved out--rented a place and the affaire went on. After a while the husband came to see me--said he was also moving out and would i like to move in to his house--with his wife !
His wife was d/f--and apparently it was announced i couldnt be d/f because i had resigned years before ( which was true )--but should be treated as an apostate and shunned. Hey ho--if it makes the bros happy!
I did move in with her It was all chaotic. Their kids were in the same school classes as my 2 boys. He was constantly turning up to see his kids--and rowing with his wife . One day i grabbed him and threw him out into the street. At the end of that summer i had had enough--and moved out of that mess.
She and i carried on seeing each other--and staying over, but i knew she wanted to make things right and get re-instated..which meant marrying or going our separate ways. I chose the latter..there was no way i was going back to that cult. Stuff em.
All the above is true and took place between autumn 1980 and spring 1982. By then--other scandals were breaking in that congregation so i think i was forgotten about.
were you 100 percent jw?
what caused you to leave the cult?
.
I read the user name as I am all cool.
As soon as i was independent of my parents..married..own home..i lost all interest in religion.
I dont need a crutch to lean on. Some folks do..its their choice.
anybody watching the olympics here?
bodies perfected, minds steeled against pain?
amazing performances in sailing, running, jumping, throwing.
Never watch it. No interest in sport.
