  What Was/Is The Dumbest JW Belief?

  i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!

  almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!

  1914 in its original form was better structured. It had the appearance of a secret code that had been cracked. However, today's 'overlapping generations' is totally incomprehensible.

  washington — president trump asked the f.b.i.

  director, james b. comey, to shut down the federal investigation into mr. trump’s former national security adviser, michael t. flynn, in an oval office meeting in february, according to a memo mr. comey wrote shortly after the meeting.. “i hope you can let this go,” the president told mr. comey, according to the memo.. the existence of mr. trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence the justice department and f.b.i.

  investigation into links between mr. trump’s associates and russia.. mr. comey wrote the memo detailing his conversation with the president immediately after the meeting, which took place the day after mr. flynn resigned, according to two people who read the memo.

  By Julia Edwards Ainsley writing for Reuters:

  Following advice, potential FBI chiefs steer clear of job under Trump

  It seems that professionals are horrified of being promoted by Trump even to the point of transferring overseas. Could they know something that Trump supporters don't?

  Under Russell the Watchtower taught that white skin was the original color of mankind. In one Watchtower a story was recounted of a black man praying that his skin would turn white. He got his wish.

  Another Watchtower (Russell?), in addressing itself to its black audience, said that in a little short time all skins would be white. This was said because black Bible Students were complaining about the fact that they were segregated in their meetings.

  greetings, word lovers:.

  in my job, i work with words and wrangle them into shape, well, in a manner of speaking.

  one word might be mistaken for another, a word with either a similar or identical sound.

  Leaving it all behind.

  2. experiences

  i haven't been on an exjw site for months and months.

  i frankly am way past the point where i define myself as an exjw, i am who i am and it doesn't have really anything to do with the way i was raised or spent a considerable portion of my life, i also refuse to be bound by witness requirements as to leaving, contact with witnesses, or some kind of responsibility to whack people who seem perfectly happy as witnesses over the head with 'the truth about the truth'.

  i have recently run in to a few people that seems to simply obsess with their lives as witnesses and why they left and in some cases the way they were treated or mistreated, or the need to "do" something.

  I got past the exJW identity shortly after my d'f. Unfortunately, I live in a large apartment complex which is populated by JWs including inactive/d'f. Whenever I see one, which is all the time, I sometimes regress to both my JW persona and/or the exJW self for a short while.

  "Please God...do something about this! Teach these men (WTBTS and GB) how wrong they are!"

  I hear your outcry but these men are irredeemable and not worthy of any meaningful communication.

  Is This Something Or What?

  an almost 3-year old was watching a video on an obsolete phone given to him by his mama.. the video was of the joker manhandling spider man, the tyke's hero.. the villain and the hero were in a driveway that was similar to that of the house where tyke lived.. he handed the phone to his grandma, stating, "hold my iphone, grandma, while i go outside.".

  "to beat up the joker because he's getting on my nerves!".

  true story that i personally witnessed..

  Site Updates

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  just a heads-up that i will be testing some updates this evening.. the nature of the changes means it's difficult to test every scenario in advance offline (translation: it's a lot more effort and i just can't be bothered) so i'm going to go with the "wing-it" approach:.

  deploy, check for errors, try to fix errors before anyone else notices them.. i can switch between the new and old version pretty quickly so if there are significant issues, i'll rollback and revert the changes while i work on the fixes.

  worse case is the pages won't display quite right (dates might be a giveaway) but a full page refresh should fix things.. http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/.
