  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  We talk a lot about conditional friends on here

  so, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.

  real friendships aren't conditional.".

  i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.

  The conditions for remaining friends is respect, respect prevents me from doing something that would harm a friend physically or emotionally. JWs have rules which go far beyond respect.

  I was in Düsseldorf on Sunday evening, it was a really beautiful evening, a bit cold, but really nice. A man called Arne Schmitt (you can find him in Facebook "Arne Schmitt - Music") was giving a concert with his piano, this was on Burgplatz in the Altstadt, Düsseldorf. Many people were milling around and listening and I decided to look for the "Islamic Invaders". It didn't take long for me to locate any of them because there was one standing right next to me. His friend came along and they started conversing in Arabic, after a few moments Arne stopped playing the Piano and one of these two "Islamic Invaders" went up to Arne and said something, Arne stepped back and allowed him to play his Piano, this "Islamic Invader" played wonderfully and helped to improve the wonderful atmosphere on this evening.

  I walked a little but still being able to hear the piano music and I stopped to watch the people coming up a ramp leading to Burgplatz from the Rhine river, again looking for "Islamic Invaders" and there was a family of "Islamic Invaders", cheerful, father, mother and three children. As the father notice I was watching them he gave me an enormous smile, greeted me and walked on. It wasn't long before the next "Islamic Invader" came along, I saw him from a distance, it did take him a while to reach were I was, he was laboring up the ramp in his wheelchair, he had no legs.

  That was my experience with "Islamic Invaders" in this Sunday evening.

  dear mentally diseased apostates,.

  we are happy to report to you that we are tired of waiting around for jehovah to do his his whole "armageddon thing" and have instead taken steps to expedite the end ourselves.

  we are very confident as "guardians of the doctrine" that we can accomplish this by dismantling the wtbts and its subsidiaries which will, in turn, force god's hand and bring about the coming of jesus riding on a white horse out of the clouds with a sword - or skulls - or scales - err, whatever .

  Sorry but being British after mentioning one quote from Winston Churchill, I have to mention another.

  You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

  At no point in the history of God's Organization have so many people - with so much - done so little.

  Reminiscent of Winston Churchill.

  
  

  Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

  What I Hate About Halloween....

  by konceptual99 in

  ....is that it has totally wiped away the distinct celebration of november 5th and bonfire night.

  fireworks and bonfires are still ubiquitous this time of year but it's just merged in with halloween which, whilst always being celebrated, was not as promoted and so overwhelming as it is now.. bring back the guy!.

  My daughter has woken up, although she was never baptised. One of the major reasons was the way I was talked about and treated since I turned my back on the bOrg. I did not talk TTATT to my daughter, the bOrg and the loving brothers and sisters in the congregation drove her away with their vileness.

  went to a market yesterday and there it was a cart manned by a middle-aged women and a young one.

  in a really respectful, friendly manner i approached them and enquired if watchtower society had done anything about its "two witness policy" post royal commission.

  knew nothing of 2 witness rule.

  Post cult have learned very important lesson to actually respect (even if I don't agree) others viewpoints and their rights as fellow human beings.

  I share your sentiments, I am also having to learn to accept others viewpoint, because as a JW everybody is wrong who do not accept the JW stance.
