  we brits are being bombarded with facts and speculation about the horrific consequences of either corbin or johnson getting into power .

  another thread has discussed the anti-semitic leanings ( or not ) of corbin .

  what do people think about the left's claims that boris would sell off the nhs ,only this morning l saw a post on fb saying that " america is demanding full access to nhs records " it has been pointed out by a political reporter on the bbc that the talks that the papers were leaked about happened before johnson became pm and these were just things that have been put on the negotiating table by the usa .

  there are ways the NHS could recover some costs.

  meals whilst in hospital for instance. i was in southampton general in 2016 for an aortic aneurism stent. the meals were fine. and free! why ? there was an obese east european type in the bed opposite who did nothing but moan about the food--it was free--served hot to the bedside--and i bet it was a lot better than the crap he was used to.

  our NHS is the envy of the world--even with its various faults. i have had excellent service all my life.

  NHS dental treatment--i have to pay a fixed fee for any treatment--but free for people on means tested benefits.

  eyesight tests--free for me as a pensioner

  prescription meds---ditto.. can you imagine that--free meds !!

  2034 - A Future History of Jehovah's Witnesses

  by slimboyfat in

  i don't know what i am talking about... read this post at your peril.

  back in the 1960s there was, seemingly, a brief period of relaxation in authoritarianism among jehovah's witnesses.

  those who have read raymond franz's 'crisis of conscience' will have heard the story about dan sydlik's remark about the need to 'open some windows to let some air in here'.

  what struck me about this thread--is the amount of members back then who are no longer active on here. then--i wonder--are there more active members on here now than there were back then? dare i use the word growth ?

  I’m Really Digging The Queen!

  at 95 , queen elizabeth is one sharp lady.

  she lauded those people that helped break up a terrorist attack.

  she didn’t take any crap from prince andrew and told him to take a hike.

  Is it me or does Stephen Lett come across......

  by JimmyYoung in

  i get the feelings that stephen lett tries to come across as mr. rogers but there are times it oozes through that he is a lot more dominant and controlling then he lets on.

  i think Lett is the ideal spokesman for the cult. the perfect square peg in a square hole. long may he continue.

  How old is old?

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having a conversation with a pimi elder and i asked him how he deals with the fact that he never expected to get old.

  i get the feeling that some dubs still have the original generation explanation hard-wired, even though they claim to accept the new version.

  so my question is, how old do you have to be to be considered old?

  Older JWs who go Overseas to Live

  by LongHairGal in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i know of two older couples who have gone overseas to live in recent years.

  one could be classified in my opinion as a “need greater” although i think it might also have to do with getting more for their money.

  the other i think was seeking out a cheaper and more naturally beautiful environment to live in their retirement years.. what i wondered is if these people are disenchanted and bored with life in the states.

  i live " overseas" from England UK....on the isle of Wight. but its only a 20 minute fast ferry ride away. like most who moved here--it started with summer holidays. i moved when i was 23--most wait till they retire.

  when i did move here--i was stll attending meetings--and within 12 months other families also moved in, the congregation doubled in size.

  its a peaceful place to live..mild climate most of the year. the reason many retire here is financial downsizing. anyone selling up in London can buy similar here for a quarter of the price--yet its only 70 miles away.

  Jehovah's house for Sale?

  by JohnTron72 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  when i drive by the kingdom hall i grew up attending at but, was sold directly to a church, i get angry.

  the elders who handled the sale didn't even remove the watchtower shaped bricks on each side of the sign near the street so, now they advertise for a baptist church.

  how many times as i grew up i heard things like: you should not do work ( such as clean carpets for a church) you wouldn't want to work at a cigarette making plant or a facility that makes bombs for the military.
