i feel like a idiot but what was the respond time?
within 5-7 minutes my street was blocked off, i received.
a call from the police dept.
I accidentally set off alarm at my son's house. I shut it off before it was supposed to go to police. The company never called my son, but 3-4 hours later a swat team(ok, 8-10 cop cars, cops in full safety bulletproof gear ) showed up.
Son hates the security service, but the contract won't let them out. Having the police show up 3 hours after a REAL emergency is useless. Obviously where they are, it's just a fortune down the drain. They could have dismembered us and cleaned up the mess by then!
hi all, just wondering if there's anything going around about the elders receiving instruction from the society to give inactive ones and disfellowshipped ones one last chance to come back?
i ask because i have a still in family member that i received a message from, and urging me to go back.
the elders are apparently saying there is no time left.
I'm a lost cause, no one would even send me a bulk rate postcard to give me a last chance, so from where I'm sitting, this all looks like the same sky is falling, different year.
the jws have tried to pad the number of jws in camps.
how many actually went and how many died?
can you site the source also?
Federer is filled with so much hate and anti-Semitic diatribes that it was difficult to get past it to any alleged facts about Anne Frank. He went off on subjects to prove his point without that particular point having any intrinsic value-for example, one diary book or a bunch of them that compromised her diary? Kind of immaterial. If he could have left off his remarks about the characters of Jewish people or his speculations about their intentions, then he might possibly have made a point. Maybe. It makes me wonder at his character and writing ability altogether, and further calls into question the veracity of any WT researches done. This man was so hate filled towards the Frank's and Jews that I was sitting there in open mouthed astonishment that he is considered an expert in anything.
for those who've never read these incredible books by our friend ray franz.. here are links for both.
.
happy reading!.
I dont watch pirated movies, why would I read a stolen (yes, that's what it is!) book?
ok. i know this has been brought up in the past, but i have often wondered who in our halls are awake (for those of us who attend).
there are some i would consider a 'maybe', but no way of ever really knowing.. so here is my idea.
i hope it doesn't sound too masonic,.
That we have this topic at all says SOOOOO much about this organization. It's entirely ridiculous.

church shouldn't have divulged child-porn suspect's alleged confession, attorney says.
elders in the jehovah’s witnesses church violated the confidentiality of steven lindhorst of paso robles when they told police about an alleged confession he made regarding child pornography, according to a defense motion.. .
the perpetrator is pond scum. I think elders did what they did because they knew they were on their own.
in the august broadcast, david splane is shown in a morning worship video.
i just wanted to focus on the end of the video, were he has this to say:.
the governing body loves to get together and discuss the bible.
JWs are touting progressive leadership? They are developing their property portfolio, not the faith of their patsys.
last night.
pub quiz.
12 teams, somewhere in darkest england.. category: eternal flame.
I asked my husband, from a non western, non English-language country, third world, and it was kind of a joke and disgrace, even way over there. He has no animosity to JWs, but told me that it was joked about. He worked at Pakistan international airlines in the years leading up to it but never left Pakistan before 1978 or so. And yes, JWs do their JW thing there.
very strange behavior by the attendants and elders after the duluth, ga, rc.
on the first link the attendants start to exit the arena, then line up and turn their backs on the street preachers.
(around the 6:00 mark).. elders and attendants after duluth rc.
I bet the JWs miss the good old days when they went to churches on sundays with cars that had loudspeakers and bombarded the churchgoers with their message. . . did they get a bigger kick out of being persecuted or being the persecutors?
found this very interesting article on another site.
looks like there people, and at an assembly too, who are not afraid to show their displeasure to the inhumane policies of the org.. http://avoidjw.org/2016/08/shunning-the-shunning/.
In Africa, family is literally everything. I can see why shunning is not so readily accepted among JWs there. Good.
