it’s all a big fat lie.
more precisely a big low-fat, high-carbohydrate lie.. 'it took dr. paul marik 12 weeks to prove that conventional wisdom about dieting is a lie, and that was just to himself.
he lost 35 pounds, and cured himself of type 2 diabetes.
Yeah -- I checked the date of Cofty's post (couldn't believe) and what a wonderful surprise!
Cofty -- what about law of thermal dynamics and calories. I was convinced you could lose weight on the twinkie or candy bar diet (not that it's nutritional or healthy) if you don't eat more than you burn.
i’m a pimo ministerial servant and i won’t fade because i want to keep my front row seats watching what happens next few years.. my predictions are that this current governing body will slowly die off and the current younger helpers will be the next gb.
they will eventually have new light that they were wrong about 1914 and the overlapping generations.. the new light will be something on the lines of the last days are now because of king of north king of south pushing each other etc etc.
they will do their very best to burry old literature and try to change the past trying to make it sound like they were right all along just as they have done for 150 years now.
How did they increase 3% in the US in '21 per google which was significant growth and their largest % increase since 1990. Is this accurate or due to the Covid pandemic and fear? Must have been fear factor like 9/11.
Can't believe the shoving of inoculations down the throats of JWs -- are they expecting a genocide among the adherents to end their horror show. It would be easy way for them to make escape off to wonderland with any others at the top of the echelon.
a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).
Unfortunately, the "shunning routine" does work for JWs and cults like Watchtower. JWs are a totally captured audience and WT cult scores huge in the psychological control of its brainwashed adherents.
for the same reasons jw's reject christmas they use the name jehovah.. dec 25 is the recognized day to celebrate the birth of christ in the world.- we use jehovah because it is the recognized name of the father in the world.. it dishonors jesus because we don't know the actual date of jesus birth- even though we don't know the actual pronouncing of gods name it brings honor to god to use it.
even though the angels rejoiced at the birth of jesus, no where in the bible does it say we should celebrate it.
even though no where in the bible does it say christians are to be witnesses of jehovah, we proudly bear his name!.
(event 201).
“event 201” was an exercise organized in october 2019 to simulate what might happen if there was a severe pandemic.. it invited people from business, government, and public health to simulate coordinating a policy response to a theoretical pandemic.. .
what was the event?.
The Expose reporting US DOD issued a 'COVID-19 Research' contract 3 months before C-19 was known to officially exist raising questions about the gov's knowledge of the novel coronavirus. Very interesting. Contract was part of a larger project for a 'Biological threat reduction program in Ukraine," suggesting that the gov was at the very least aware of the virus before it spread thru Wuhan in Dec. 2019 and before it was named Covid 19 by the World Health Organization in Feb. 2020.

Baby It's Cold Outside -- played at xmas time and great hit in the 40s (#1 song) also on John Legend's new Christmas album w/Kelly Clarkson. Hard to beat Eartha Kitt's, Santa Baby and fave Mariah Carey, O Holy Night, (video - amazing recording in church -- can't remember where - maybe s. carolina.
the watchtower—study edition | january 2023. study article 3. jehovah is helping you to succeed.
how jehovah makes you successful.
13. does jehovah intervene in every situation we face?
LHG - You are one smart gal. I was jerked in the backroom by clergy class asking for handouts (most of the elders w/common sense did not do this) for couple losers on their 'A Team.' I told them when I walked there'd be no more pimping for their faves -- I'm DONE! That wasn't the reason I left. There's always some thug around begging in life but those hell-hole halls are notorious for it.
many on here are ex jw....they have left the jws because of coming to find out the many false indoctrinations.
one of the things learned as a jw is that there isn't anything true about xmas being the birth of jesus.
( matt chapter 2 tells a whole different narrative about the baby jesus than what is portrayed by the christian churches) they learn the ways that are celebrated are pagan practices jesus told the samaritan woman that god wanted to be worshipped in spirit and it truth.
EIE -- Perhaps some JWs jump from one false doctrine to another but I returned to my life-long celebration of Christmas. Didn't realize how krazy their interpretation of scripture was and sensed immediately they were Pharisees (quite a pecking/power order inside) and did my own thing thus technically was not a witness.
i don't think that it's too early for my annual merry christmas thread .
merry christmas everyone.
jan .
Thank you, Jan. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

jehovah's witnesses denied state aid.
Yeah Norway! Keep up the great work.
I don't know one JW member from the other but if that's Tony he looks like he's Porky the Pig and has plenty.
