  Aren't you a bit amazed that the WTS/JWS is still around ?

  by Finkelstein in

  2. beliefs

  i know i am, to me its a bit of a peculiar anomaly that the wts is still around and functioning in reflection of its decades and now complete century that the wts has been bullshitting to people .

  organizations like the church of god have shrunk dramatically from its heyday of the 1980's, this too was another organization that spread and grew by publishing its own magazine proclaiming a armageddon soon doctrine and its main publication was called " the truth " .

  i'm guessing some of this has to do with the fact that people who get lured into this cult aren't aware of its past, its doctrines, the people who started it and so forth.

  The Plain Truth, a former free of charge monthly magazine, was first published in 1934 by Herbert W. Armstrong, founder of The Radio Church of God, which he later named The Worldwide Church of God (WCG). The magazine subtitled as The Plain Truth: a magazine of understanding gradually developed into an international, free of charge news magazine, sponsored by the WCG church membership. The magazine's messages often centered on the controversial doctrine of British Israelism, the belief that the early inhabitants of the British Isles, and hence their descendants, were actually descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

  Thanks for what you taught me today; also, "expiry" is new to me:

  "The MOT test (Ministry of Transport, or simply MOT) is an annual test of vehicle safety, roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required in Great Britain for most vehicles over three years old used on any way defined as a road in the Road Traffic Act 1988; it does not apply only to highways (or in Scotland a relevant road) but includes other places available for public use, which are not highways."

  Interesting that more and more active JW are "disrespecting Jehovah" by their facial hair! (I know, first hand.)

  In the USA, the ardently interested "men of goodwill" (remember that term, steve2 and OUTLAW?) would be "lining up" to get their free copies.

  Do you feel that queuing figures should be equal to (or more or less than) those for lining up?

  Crossing the Ponds and its effect demographically is a just consideration.

  Where is that lovely old thread "where are you from?"

  big hello again to all.

  there was an old thread, many pages long, where we could say where we lived in the world.. many just put the country but others told a bit about their hometowns.. i cannot seem to find it and just wondering if this still exists ....blondie maybe??.

  now that there are so many of us, it might be pretty fantastic to know how many potential friends we have living in our areas.

  alot of members don't have a flag or country name beside their user name, and well frequently one doesn't know where that particular person is from, tell us your country, state, county or what ever you feel like giving out.

  if you are going to post please at least devulge your country.. me, i'm originally from taranaki, new zealand via auckland.

  for the most of this decade i have been living & working in brisbane, queensland, australia.. .

  GrreatTeacher:

  Thanks, GT:

  Everything you wrote helps and is on the mark. I thought that mileage was considered low, given the truck's age. But, I'm sure you're correct. All my jobs are within a few miles of home, my monthly mileage being some 200 miles. So the gas issue isn't too horrible. I Googled my truck and its particulars and bad gas mileage is a complaint many owners wrote about. Repairs for an old vehicle can be pricey.

  What you said is what I've already figured on -- drive it till it dies. I go nowhere to speak of, but traveling beyond the borders of my community might be nice!
