this is a part of my collection.. the all-blue jug and the "pinch pot" below were made in a local pottery in the 1920's and are known as wesuma ware.
(weston super mare).
the others are all doulton lambeth ware from the late 1800's, well before the company came to be called royal doulton.
Nice collection Englishman . . .the jugs look to be in great shape.
I pick up a few things here and there, I have leather "bag" (like a pilot's bag) from the 20's where I keep a Kodak Brownie camers (looks like a box) a small handcrank doodad that will turn 2-3 icecubes into chipped ice ( no idea how old it is ) a small stack of Playboy magazines from the 60''s, a small one cup Expresso maker ( again no idea the age ) and a few more odds and ends ( old baseball cards, other stuff)
what wisdom would you like to share with others?
one of the many that i have is patience and making time your friend.
what's yours?
SPEAK SOFTLY AND CARRY A BIG STICK ?
the 144,000 are supposedly to give the flock their spiritual food at the proper time.
how is it the elders can laud it over a member of the (supposedly) anointed when it is members of the anointed who are supposed to distribute the spiritual food?
why can they not distribute the spiritual food at the proper time?
In a land not too far away a confidence was discovered. " Oh look, what do we have here, a bright and shiny toy! " " Yes," cried the seers, " a most wonderful toy! . . .and don't you see, all we have to do is massage it a bit, and the world is ours, for you and me!"

Poztate . . . the they and the their in this case refers to the average JW ( or even their children ) who are led to believe they are deciding for themselves with no input by the WTS . . .that's mind control!

As we all know it's nothing more than a mind - control technique. As long as someone THINKS/BELIEVES they are making the decision the controller's job is accomplished.

In the " Don't blame us ( WTBTS ) we only told you what to think. " sentence,I apologize if I wasn't clear . . .the "us" and the "we" do refer to the WTBTS. Sorry.

Don't blame us ( WTBTS ) we only told you what to think !
we are ready to let it out.
our da letter says it all.
( re-copied only to keep off the names, everything else as is.
My heart goes out to you, so much pain!!! One day there will not be a WTBTS.
i know thinks would be very different for me, if my family wasn't out with me or if i was df'd or if some friends from the hall didn't stay in touch or if i hadn't been able to make other friends.. i know that for some of you, the holiday season stinks because of being in limbo or being df'd and not making new friends yet or other reasons all related to the wtbts.. maybe you are alone without your family.
that is terrible knowing that in general this is a day that family is celebrated.. a huge (((hug))) to you then.
my apologies that life is like that for you this moment and i hope happiness runs you down and overtakes you very soon!.
Great post, confusedjw . . .and may I also add A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. It matters not what religion one belongs to , if any, we should all count our blessings.
