I adore Talesin as well. She was already off FB by the time I saw her post saying she would be back. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to chat with her.

Okay I found her post and it was 6/16, she was at online at the library. And yes she hoped to be back online in the fall.

Expensive literature cart operation at Newark airport

how much do you think it cost to set this up?.

.

I think they would draw more people instead of in with a giant blown up picture of horseback ridin' Jesus in the cape along with all the horseback ridin' looking like Kenny Rogers 144,000 thousand! I mean, what a conversation starter!

I was just thinking, I always see a cart in the baggage claim area of LAX. But flying in and out of Reno last week, I didn't see them at the airport. The baggage claim has all the rental car agencies, and hotel info. No desolate blank wall for the JW's to stand by.

She popped into FB a few weeks ago. I believe she has been without internet access. She said to look for her in the fall.

I mean, it is cutesy, but is so so so weird to me. Probably because I'm outside the cult looking in.

Faithful and Prudent slave? read somewhere that the discreet was going to change to Prudent.

by goingthruthemotions in

read on one of the forums, and maybe this one that the gb are going to start calling themselves the faithful and prudent slave.

my pimi brainwashed wife wouldn't bat an eyelash if they started calling themselves this.

to her it would be new light and they could do nothing wrong.. but, how the not so brainwashed flock take this change?

Dagney

I used this with my brother, that the choice of words they used to describe their holy GB, is nothing more than that. If you read the verse in another translation they were no longer the FDS, but some other label. Not sure if I remember exactly how I said it but my intent was to let him know just because he thought they were the “holier than thou” FDS GB, they were nothing special to me, unless he could prove they were. 🤬

1958 VS 2019 International Covention

2019. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qut4sr9elo.

so many emotional triggers and not much substance in 2019. at least they highlighted a part of a talk from knorr in the 1958 vid, nothing but a lovefest in the 2019 clip.

Dagney

Interesting video. I was two when my mother took a train from California alone with me to NYC. You just showed up and they found you a place to stay for 8 days or whatever. I can't even imagine, but that's what they did back then.

I have mixed feelings about the video, probably unpopular here. It sort of seemed like paradise, a movement for a peaceful new order. It was easy to get caught up in it, you thought they had the answer to everything. Turns out they were winging it all along...they know nothing.

When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Words to live by.

As A Former JW Are You Patriotic At All?

by minimus in

jw
friends

jehovah’s witnesses were drilled with the idea that all governments are from satan and that we should have nothing to do with anything involving support of the government, voting, or political talk for one party or another.. now that you are out, is patriotism important to you?

is voting important to you?

are you supportive of your country?.

Dagney

Yes I am. I think this is am amazing country. We are still the wild wild west, it's all over the place. But what the founding fathers tried to do in creating this government and Constitution is amazing to me.

Even when I was a JW I was sappy over USA. It's just in me. I am not thrilled about a lot going on right now, and I may retire in a different country, but over all I love my state and country.
