by BoogerMan in

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/scottish_national_party - "however, others in the party were explicitly pro-nazi.

hugh macdiarmid, who stood as an snp candidate in 1945, believed that the nazis were "less dangerous than our own government" and wrote a poem about the london blitz that included the line "i hardly care".

arthur donaldson, who went on to lead the party between 1961 and 1969, believed a nazi invasion would benefit scotland: "the government would leave the country and england's position would be absolutely hopeless, as poverty and famine would be their only reward for declaring war on germany.

i'm all for another referendum--only this time throw it open to everyone in the UK to vote. I bet the outcome would be exactly what they want.

I`m going out on a limb here ! ....PIMO

pimo , as i said i`m going out on a limb here and i might upset some people ,but i really don`t think this is a real strategy that works and doesn`t help the person who is still in.. while you may be doing this to keep the peace in the household and keep relations somewhat stable in the family arrangement ,it`s not helping the person who is still under the control of wt/gb to break free from it ,and isn`t that what you would really like to happen ?.

and are their children involved as well ?

that`s another issue ,the longer they are subject to this control the harder it will be for them to disengage get free.. maybe you should re-evaluate what you could do more to help your partner / spouse or whatever to free themselves from this bondage they have involved themselves in.. [ of course their may be others who are quite happy to have their partners/mates under the control of the wt/gb.

What I imagine is the worst is if somebody is a PIMO and still serving as an elder and has no intention of leaving!!!.

we had one such on here a few weeks ago: posted lots of threads--then disappeared. Claimed he was in London--but i suspect he was in Croatia.

Did it ever become unbearable to attend another Kingdom Hall meeting?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

it's becoming unbearable for me to attend another meeting.

i dread coming to the weekly sunday public talk and watchtower study.

the talks are ''repeats'' of a ''repeat.

i hated going. I had resigned years before--i only attended to stop my 3rd gen wife endlessly nagging me. Finally--42 years ago, she divorced me and i was free at last.

Struggling to find a purpose

by My Name is of No Consequence in

i spent most of my life in the org.

we were taught that our purpose in life was to serve jehovah.

that never really made sense to me, but it was still a purpose to keep going.

God exists and there are evidence that He does.

it would be almost interesting to hear more..but on second thoughts dont bother..ive heard it all before.

i was PIMO many years before it was invented.

But not leading a double life thing..going to meetings going door knocking etc to keep up a pretense. Nope--i resigned--bam--just like that. DO not call me brother anymore--its Mr from now on.

But i did occasionally attend a meeting--to appease my wife..but everyone knew i was not a JW any more--

i cannot understand how some can live a lie.
