English Channel boats

by Xanthippe in

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-48484017.

so more refugees in the english channel and a politician comes on the radio and says britain and france need to work together to end this crisis.

how do you end a crisis where so many people are swarming to rich countries to escape dire poverty or violence?

I admit to ignorance about this issue. Are there organizations in any of these nations they are leaving who are attempting to help them improve their homeland so they will be motivated to stay? I imagine these immigrants are fleeing war zones? I don't think you can do much about that.

I'm able to say "Good Luck" without guilt. That's no little thing by the way.

What do you do when you're home alone on a meeting night?

go on.

name it.🤣.

I don't know which nights are meeting nights any longer. It doesn't matter, on any night I do something disapproved by the WT powers that be, whether its entertainment of just thinking freely. So I guess you could sum it up by saying, committing the sin of being out of the fantasy loop.

'Organisation is our mother'

by EdenOne in

i need your help please, for an article i'm writing.. i believe that quite recently in the 2010's, possibly at one of the annual meetings of the watchtower, there was one speech (or was it in a publication?

in a broadcast?

) where it was stated that the "organisation is our mother".

Its amazing how we became "experts" of the Watchtower soup of doctrines. Such worthless knowledge. Gotta admit, we have it down.

Need some advice, my gf just tried to commit suicide (very long post)

by Jayk in

sorry for the grammar and spelling errors if any..(me 29 raised in the org) (gf 25 not raised) just left her at the hospital with (call her sara).. sara had just ingested half a bottle of her antidepressant pill and half a bottle of melatonin.

this took place after a discussion we where having about a recent event that took place.

long story short, sara told me she slept with my best friend/coworker(call him tim) after a argument we had, the morning after it supposedly happened.. i was pretty torn but i was maintaining and i even thought sara was lying because tim was such a good friend.

I don't know her. I don't know you. We are not professionals though many have experienced similar things. One thing we know is that she needs her family and a therapist. Don't take it personally, I know that much. Mental illness needs the healing touch of a professional.

I Ended my Bible Study

by Maria Nieves in

i ended my bible study today.

several months ago, i began to feel that the truth was not the truth.

as the months progressed, my feelings intensified.

That's how it works, make friends with you and lull you into a false sense of being needed, loved and wanted. You buckle to make someone happy by being baptized and "Bam"! you're kicked out when you use your brain at last. They are NOT your friend. Its conditional and you fail the condition of believing their BS.
