i remember when i was still a teenage kid back in the 60's----the cong i was in organised a coach at very short notice to attend a mini one evening assembly at a stadium in London UK. Brother Knorr was coming to give a talk !. That prick was treated like god itself! His talk punch line was " you must not forget"...ive never forgotten that . ( I cant remember what his talk was about though )

These brain washed dubs treat their cult leaders like rock stars. They would buy their turds if some smart operator could market them.

Money donated for a specific reason

by enoughisenough in

i decided to do this posting because of some comments in the post about pensions.

in the mid to late 1980's there was a flood and the local kingom hall was damaged and many of the friends homes were damaged...groups came in to help repair.

my then mother-in-law literally lost everything-she had no home to repair...she had been renting a small trailer and it washed away.

When my ( late ) JW dad went into a care home--in 2013, i applied for and got Power of Attorney to look after all his finances etc. I soon discovered he had been paying £100 each and every month into the congregation funds. I stopped that immediately.

Then i found proof he had also paid £5000 towards the Kingdom Hall purchase fund--although when i found out that hall had already been sold for site redevelopment. ( I wonder where THAT money went ).

When he went into the care home--it was in a different KH area--but one of his former elder friends used to visit him--but that soon stopped. A local elderly sister also visited him a few times--but then she died. The only other visitor he had was a sister who came to the care home to do the residents hair styling. I paid her to do my dads--although she avoided actually ever talking to me!!

The real story on why The Watchtower society lost a Kingdom hall in Bonham ,Texas.!

what happened in bonham, texas?

: the body of elders and the majority of the congregation decided to leave the watch tower organization.

and with that, they took the kingdom hall.

/\ /\ spot on. In fact--why not sell all the KHs--and make the dubs use the assembly halls instead--for a whopping weekend rental charge obviously.

Without Warning & Only Sometimes

by Earnest in

another biography will be published on 18th august 2022 - without warning & only sometimes by kit de waal who writes about her childhood in a mixed-race family in 1960's birmingham (uk).

it is not only about jws but her "descriptions of church meetings are deliciously evocative" (the guardian 08/12/22) :.

“time does not pass.

i wonder which congregation she attended. I was at Hockley, Birmingham UK--1960-66.

Nonbelieving mates

by road to nowhere in

jw
friends

a couple of my wife's friends are married to non witnesses.

they say jehovah must have special plans for them.

and that it is a special exception not destruction, alas, they are not attractive so my special idea about polygamy won't cut it.

stan livedeath

maybe a lot of nonbelieving mates prefer the idea of destruction rather than eternity with the old boiler.

Vaccines - "Jehovah's" chariot does it again....

by neat blue dog in

jehovah's chariot, famous for being late to the game, copying other religion's chariots, or outright turning in the wrong direction does it again with vaccines.

immediately after the gb announced that masks are still required and that all hlc elders are required to be fully vaccinated, the cdc comes out with new covid guidelines:.

which "focuses on individual decisions" and "brings the recommendations for unvaccinated people in line with people who are fully vaccinated – an acknowledgment of the high levels of population immunity in the u.s., due to vaccination, past covid-19 infections or both.

i remember watching a "Minder" episode on UK tv---Where Arfur invites 2 witness door knockers in---to make sure he is not "home alone" for some reason. It was hilarious.

Did any other UK members see it ?
