here in the uk we've recently had the price cap on household energy bills raised by around £800 and there'll be another similar raise this autumn.. food prices are up, petrol is around £1.82 per litre - that's $10.37 per gallon for our american friends - and inflation is currently running at 9%.
business are being hit as ordinary folk prioritise their spending.
young folks are effectively priced out of the housing market and wage rises are not keeping pace.. mrs nic' and i are fortunate in that we're both in secure employment and with the kids moved out and mortgage paid off our outgoings are thankfully low.
in the UK we've had the good times..very low interest rates---dirt cheap mortgages, energy costs 4 years a go a quarter of what they are going to be in a few months time. Far too much disposable income for utter trivia--restaurants..holidays..often several a year.
Now comes the hard times. Far worse than most can imagine. Before you know it property prices are going to crash.
Ive seen it all before.
the supreme court corrects a mistake.

i think the woman has found out all she needs to know about the cult.
hi everyone i would like to say hello to everyone,.
i just started attending kingdom hall about a month ago now and am doing bible study with a brother..
yes--we have had a few trolls this year..Bola d/f but was going to partake at the memorial. Then there was that non dub who was banging the brains out of his jw pioneer lady friend. And very recently the PIMO elder who hates the GB but likes the social life and free food.
i find them very amusing--and i think its the same person, probably english, and possibly living in Croatia ?

ha haa--very apt--but i rather imagine its lost on all our friends who are not in the UK.

but what in particular attracted you to the jw's rather than any other religion ?

hello JP
I just started attending Kingdom Hall about a month ago now and am doing Bible study with a brother.
so--what attracted you to the jehovah's witnesses ?
at the 2021 annual meeting, samuel herd revealed new light and claimed the anointed will all have passed away before armageddon.
it has since been revealed that while they will die before armageddon, there will be some anointed still around that will witness the start of the great tribulation.. so the question is, how many years until the existing members of the governing body have passed away?.
im not a doctor, but based on their age and various stages of obesity, im thinking 10- 15 years- give or take, sounds about right.. with that in mind, the great tribulation could be announced any day.. the new understanding has now freed the org from the burden of having to identify a particular generation in relation to the date of armageddon.
yep--the annointed will have died before armageddon. Any still alive then will be proven to be non genuine.
As if i care. Blah de blah blah .
i’m still a good christian.
i still believe the bible.. i don’t like the wt society, but some of the people, as individuals are good.
there are many nasty jws also.. i have concerns about current events and how close the end actually is.
i'm not a christian--not in the least interested in the bible..god..jesus..angels etc. All poppycock. Grew up as a JW--left when i was a married man with pregnant wife when i realised i couldnt maintain the religious sham any more.
i am wondering if a jw accused to be a murderer (or any other serious crime except csa) in a judicial committee would be reported to the police.. if i sexually abused or molested a child, i would not be reported to the police.. what about if i killed a person: would i be instead?.
it is not a matter of being right or wrong but i am only curious to know if there is at least a sort of coherence regarding the internal policies for serious crimes....
i would imagine the watchtower would prefer the murderer to be disfellowshipped before being reported for the crime. That way they can say he/she is not a jw.
at a certain point, as the years tick by, you start to realize that you have forgotten a lot of things.
typically, something you learned, some knowledge or skill you used to have, that you just haven't used for so long you no longer remember anything but that you once knew it.. i saw an article about electrical resistors the other day, and how the colored bands signify the rating.
now all i remember is that i used to know it, and that resistors do something with, erm, electricity ...
some days i cant remember what i had for breakfast. Other days i cant remember if i even had any.
