My old hall was the same, only we had lovely browny beige seats and a far better carpet than this one! That carpet is actually giving me the creeps, reminds me of something totalitarian.

By the way, I wouldn't have bothered it looks so drab. Note the article points to the seats? At first I thought the color of said seats do not really match the decor, then it hit me. Their JW>BORG BLUE!!! OMG! They are now sitting on the thrones of their leaders!

I sorry to be the harbinger of doom but regarding the UK inquiry. If the government are trying to suppress child abuse allegations made against their own MP's , I can't imagine the UK inquiry being very successful!
Anger eats away at you. The best defence is to show every jw your happy. Don't let anger control you as this is something we were always taught. Anyone who leaves the cult are always bitter and angry!
I totally agree in the destruction of extremist groups such as this. What I don't agree in is the words "collateral damage" words used to describe civilians being killed in the line of fire! And believe me, this happens every day!
The UK and the US condemn mass genocide when we are just as guilty for this. True hypocrisy an a global level!
The GB need to go somewhere when they are suddenly raptured.....out the back door of watchtower HQ and secretly whisked to a paradise island somewhere in the pacific!
I don't think even North Korea comes close to the heavy scrutiny your put under on JWtalk. Most of them appear to be batshit crazy anyway!
For example I watched a post very closely regarding those 4 pioneers who were killed in a car accident. It didn't take long for them to mention the "new world"
One even said that they will now bypass the GT.... In other words, as in monopoly they have acquired the get out of jail free card! Hmmmmmm!
