i have been out a good 10+ years and until recently didnt pay much attention to what the jehovahs are up to.. why have they taken this turn with the bunker videos and making all the brainwashed people like my parents pack a go bag.
now let me just clarify.
im a military man i believe everyone should have an element of preparedness canned goods,bottled water and a bug out bag is a great addition ( ill stop waffling on about that now).. but what concerns me is the fact they are advising elderly people to bug out.
Elder's phone numbers? Hell try calling them NOW for a Shepherding Call (tm), see how quickly they respond.
Most of my fellow elders couldn't be bothered to help those in need, the elderly, sick, single moms....unless they could reciprocate. There were good men that were exceptions, but they burned out and quit.
Another reason I am glad I am not part of that madness now.

is it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?
if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?
surely they must have noticed the absence?
I went to the international in 06 in Hamburg Germany. Instead of reinvigorating me, it had the opposite effect.
I was emotionally and physically drained. Took a year to pay off that credit card.
I left the Borg in 07.
I see 12 years later Jehoober's Chariot lumbers on.

just saw this news story that was shared by one of my family on facebook.sad that she lost her life to an attempted car jacking.https://abc7chicago.com/3773297/.
Maybe have a spare handbag with a few bucks and other odds and ends to toss at a hijacker. All they want is money. Hide the real deal.
This always concerns me. I am a medical courier and sometimes am in bad areas...East St. Louis, IL, parts of north St. Louis Mo, city and county. But even in so called better areas I drive, there have been carjackings.
Reminds me I shouldn't just jump out and leave the car open.

Gorbatchov12 hours agoIn Holland only active publishers got a hardcopy of the silver sword.

i was at the regional convention and asked an elder why is that at the assemblies their is an accounts report but not at the conventions?
he said, well actually they got a letter and in it said that in a little while they will do away with the accounts report stating how much the assembly costs for the weekend and just go to donation basis like at the conventions.. my first thought was, "they will donate even less now.".
anybody else hear about such a thing?.
Washtowel...
LMAO. oh how I have missed reading your rants WTWizard I guess I just miss them

It was like watching a car wreck, which I seen today. You know you shouldn't, but you keep on watching.
Yes, I speed read the whole thing. I had read an older version while attending (the now defunct) MTS in 2002. I had forgotten how nitpicky it was. Some of the newer things on videos, etc. was interesting. I see they are desperate to get younger talent involved as the old timers age out.
I do not miss it one bit.

i think gb loesch has made some pretty bold statements that could be put in quotes with his picture attached could be a real killer!.
believe and obey only the faithful slave, don't believe any negative comment about us in the press believe only us.. google: child molestation watchtower bible and tract society, klick on wikki.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/jehovah%27s_witnesses%27_handling_of_child_sex_abuse.
I still like the idea of renting space on digital billboards near an en route to convention sites along interstates. Messages like above or pointing to jwfacts, etc. Simple and to the point messages.
Of course, the GB is telling the Sheeple to ignore the media.

i have no idea when someone has posted.
it has been a few days at least.
i am in edge or explorer mostly.
I will try the mouse hover on my desktop, no luck on my tablet. Most of the time relative times is sufficient, but there are times when my memory fails me and it us nice to put a timeline together. Kind of my personal journal in my post jw life.
Cheers..

At one time, didn't the system post the actual date of the post, rather than the more generic "5 months ago" or "1 year ago"? I miss that.
Just a thought, always grateful JWD is here.

get your data from the uk branch now, before gdpr kicks in on 25-may-2018.
use this free template letter, which has been tried and tested.
under uk law they can (and will) delay their reply if you miss out any of the important points in the template letter - for example they are allowed to ask for "costs" from you (£10 is an established fee in the data industry), or if you fail to prove your identity by means of passport or driver's license.
No, but the cards moved from one congo to another when you moved.
They used to just send the time as an aggregate of the congo. Usually locally only kept no more than a couple years, others kept their whole history in archive files. Bet they are purging now.
I haven't been an elder since Dec. 06 or a secretary since Oct. 06., so a lot has probably changed. The Borg was just starting to migrate to electronic records and communications.
