Oh I could make so many jokes with this line......

the world's oldest person has died in italy at the age of 117, reports say.. emma morano was born on 29 november 1899 in the piedmont region of italy.

alone, without my safety net of "god" being there to remember me when i die.
after much consideration, examining science, history and using logic, i have come to the conclusion that there is no "god" at least certainly no loving, personal "god.
" shortly before my final conclusion was reached, i read an excerpt from an expression attributed to marcus aurelius, .
Occam's razor:
The principle can be interpreted as stating Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected (Wkda).
which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.
My father very rarely spoke of his youth but once he mentioned that he could vaguely remember being a very young child riding in a stage coach!!
strathpine kingdom hall - 1986 to 2016 - celebrating it's 30th anniversary!.
two days in may: the strathpine kingdom hall was one of the very first 'quick builds' to take place in australia.. now this newly released original 1986 archival footage - with voice-over narration, commentary and interviews with those involved - takes an in depth look of those two days in may..... note: in the thirty years since this kh was built, the jws in australia have seen a 5.8% increase in real terms.

Hey Smiddy
I think that's me throwing bricks to the brickies on the scaffold in video 2. Dale Irwin is a name from the distant past.
So long ago....
there are quite a few here who have been disfellowshipped for apostasy.. then there are those that have successfully faded.. why the different outcome?
are the ones that got df more out spoken?
or does the discrepancy lie with the elders?.
I was fronted by an elder in the street who asked me the basic questions e.g. Do I believe the faithful and discreet slave are gods only channel on earth? What could I say but the truth?
I was classed an apostate
conventions always just seemed like more of a vacation to me than anything else, especially if you had to travel out of town for it, but definitely were exhausting especially toward the end of each day.
for some reason i didn't mind the special and circuit assemblies too much, probably because they seemed like more of a social event than anything else and only 1-2 days.
the memorial always was kind of boring to me.
I found "conventions" mind numbingly and stunningly boring for 20 yrs. What was I doing intellectually?
Asleep to avoid personal responsibility for changing my life, that's what....
i really fail to see how much actual "witnessing" is occurring with the trolley carts.publishers, usually pioneers, just stand or sit there not engaging anyone and count their time.. the only thing i notice that it's accomplishing is brand exposure for jw.0rg so the public is exposed to the logo and literature/poster card headlines.. take for example this "evening" witnessing by a pioneer elder while on summer holiday/vacation.. .
is this not a wth kinda moment when you consider the years of slaving, knocking on doors, business territory and bible studies we had to keep performing so we weren't branded a "weak" publisher?.
This surely must signal the winding down of jws preaching door to door etc.
I said many yrs ago that the jws will go mainstream religion if they are to survive and so far they are right on track to prove me correct.
her: "i'm really going enjoy talking to young billy about his masturbation problem".
him: "yes, we don't him to turn out out gay, we want him to have a happy marriage filled with hours and hours of reading propaganda together.
even the stuff that is in no way applicable to our lives.
Her to him... Not long now and the 6 billion satan worshippers will be fried
Him to her ....Great especially all those noisy children who annoy us at the park while we're reading our spiritual food
