I'm so glad to hear it. I read that while he was on house arrest, he had buddies over to party and they showed a picture of him grinning and holding a can of beer. Disgusting. Wonder if he's grinning now.

Pistorius charge changed to murder
by Tornintwo injust read on sky news that pistorius' charge has been changed to murder by the appeals court, on the basis that: .
"pistorius must have foreseen that firing into the toilet would likely have killed whoever was inside - but he went ahead anyway".
quite right too imo, he should go back to prison now.

Why are projects being shut down? Nu-light speculation....
by DATA-DOG ini went to the meeting last night.
to keep the peace for now, i guess.
anyway...... during the bible highlights, a newly appointed ms explained why construction is being curtailed in some areas.

So maybe they're scrambling to stuff those "volunteers" in the newly constructed housing, so they can claim they're providing free room and board to unpaid ministers and missionaries. See, they really are a charity, even the tax man will recognize that, right? They can appear warm and fuzzy and caring until the coast is clear, then move on with their original plans, whatever that is.

Disaster Demonstration in Kingdom hall

This might be trivial, but it's a major irritant to me. How does one genuinely train for disaster survival when wearing inappropriate clothing? Best to take off the suit and tie, which could get caught in something, and exchange the silly skirt for something you can move around in, such as jeans.
I agree with La Capra, and want to add how stupid it is to expect sisters to maintain the wearing of dresses in dire situations such as floods, tornadoes, etc. Argh, they'd probably have to wait for a brother to arrive to give permission while the gale force winds whip those skirts around their heads, lol. The training looks kind of fluffy. It's a great idea, but it doesn't seem as if they're really getting serious about it.

I gave the elders some ammo to use
by atacrossroads ini was having dinner at olive garden with my cousin who was disfellowshipped for apostacy.
a holier than thou pioneer couple saw us.
if that was not enough i saw her take a picture of me with my cousin.

She took the pic so when she ran tattling to the elders, she could prove it to them. See, looky! Do you see that, there sits atacrossroads, dining with Cousin Disfellowshipped, nyuk nyuk.
I'd be so ticked off! Nobody has a right to take anyone else's photo without permission. Worse still is her motive, presumably to offer proof to the elders which could shore up a case against you. Sick!

Brooklyn Bethel Tours Through The Roof
by freemindfade inwas speaking with someone last night who just recently toured the us bethel's.
the brooklyn tour i heard was awful, very limited and disappointing and conducted by a local pioneer and not even a bethelite.
well from what they are telling the folks on the tour since the tm3 bit encouraging (guilting) people about going to disneyland on vacation when you haven't visited bethel, monthly tours went from 6000 to 16000!

Maybe they're lukewarm about visiting the holy lands because they're basically lukewarm about Jesus. Besides, if they weren't herding sheeples thru the paper dust and grime, they couldn't leave them waiting by design at the contribution box area. -

They wanted to intimidate you. By demanding you put it in writing, they'll get your name, address and congregation so they can mark you. They'd be smoking up the phone line in two seconds flat. You know, telephone, telegraph, tell-a-dub! Being straightforward and giving you a verbal answer takes away their opportunity to go after you later on.
You are supposed to read between the lines that you're on thin ice, asking impertinent questions like that, ha. They remind me of the sinister Scientologists.

The massive gaping hole in Watchtower's understanding of Matthew 25:31-40
by Island Man in(matthew 25:31-40) .
.when the son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne.
32 all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Excellent point, Village Idiot! And whatever happened to, "No one comes to the father except through me."
Lately, we can forget about Jesus, because everything important goes through the Gobbling Buddies (sarcasm). They are so blasphemous, I'm waiting for a fireball from heaven to take them out!

EPIC!#%* NOVEMBER 2015 WT VIDEO "Welcome Home My Friend, Now Your Life Can Start Again"
by NoMoreHustle inwell i just watched this "epic" video, i would have to say this is probably the most disturbing video yet.
there campaign to get people back is just pathetic in the most mind-manipulating way.
"welcome home" or "come back home" are they serious?

I forced myself to watch it so I'd be prepared if my dear mother called up asking me to see it. I noticed he said the time left is short and it's urgent that we return to Jehovah. Well, I wasn't aware I'd left Jehovah. I just left that blasphemous false religion that I don't believe has his blessing any longer, so, I found it really offensive that they assume those who are inactive are really still members, who are simply too lazy to get off the couch and come to the meetings.
I lived through the 1975 mess and it greatly impacted my life. When they said how it's urgent to return to Jehovah's protective embrace, or similar wording, I thought, do they really think we're falling for that again? Fool me once...
This is just me, but I thought Sanderson was smirking. Did anyone else see it, or is it my imagination? Why would he be doing that?

Special Pioneer Sister-in-Law and Husband just got their letter.
by cappytan inwell, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".
when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.
;).

Forgiving the KH mortgages kind of reminds me of foreclosure. They thought they were making the payments, but the lien holder took possession of the property. Truly a blessing, yep. So many of them have no financial savvy if they're dazzled by this scam.
Here we are thinking those let go will be heartbroken, and now we hear reports that some are thrilled to get the Hell out, with a face saving excuse. They wanted to leave anyway!
