There's nothing to watch on TV anymore ???

by RubaDub in

do you find yourself, as i sometimes do, skimming through channels on the tv remote and not finding anything interesting to watch?.

growing up, we only had four channels on our tv (nbc, cbs, abc and pbs).

and yet there always seemed to be something of interest to see.. sadly, i often find myself watching shows where some guys are auctioning off storage lockers, killing alligators, picking junk from peoples' garages or barns, catching tuna, towing cars, driving trucks on the ice, catching crabs, running pawn shops ... etc etc etc.

Well, I have another 30 day free Netflix trial, so I'm trying to cram everything in this time around before July 6 when it expires, they have a lot of good things and lots of variety. I don't know your age, but I remember TV shows from the 1960's, so there are certain channels that show reruns from the 60's and before they are my main focus.

some hot news:.

last weekend was a convention in frankfurt, germany and 11 other locations.

all were connected to the international convention in berlin.. in sum about 94.000 attended.

Regarding that video, it ran approximately eight minutes, I dragged the pointer along to skip a minute or two to see if they were going to show a talk or something, do the KH songs now last a whole eight minutes!! That was the whole video ! However glad to see that there were huge sections in the arena that were totally empty, something that has been going on for the last few years I've noticed.

Should Reparations Be Given To Relatives of Slaves?

some people say that’s the least we should do while others say no way!

.

what do you think about dispensing reparations?

ShirleyW

IF reparations is about sending all black folks a check, trust me, it will never happen.

However, I must say I just found out recently that Holocaust survivors get "reparations", can't remember where I read that, but didn't know that before, which I find very interesting.

Everyone in a Cult, Doesn't Know They Are in a Cult

that's the one thing they all have in common.

because as soon as you are aware that you are in one, you would of course leave it,.

so millions of people all over the world are in them and but of course are ignorant of this fact.. i was asked many times over the years in field service, the question.

ShirleyW

I don’t think Charles Taze Russell meant to start a cult, I think it evolved into one over time

I don't know what he thought he was starting at the time, but he created an (Un)Holy mess

What is the biggest doctrinal mistake made by the Watchtower /JWorg. ?

by Finkelstein in

personally i think it is 1914 and the following " this generation " doctrine.. this particular doctrine went right against jesus's own words of " no one knows of the time not even he " .

he also admonished his true followers to not set a time upon god's own sacred time .. the leaders of the wts even back to the late 1800's set a time calculated on their own theology 1874 being the first time set and proclaimed by c t russell, also proclaiming 1914 would likely be the year of the final day of judgment armageddon.

all throughout the 20th century the wts held to this doctrine but was eventually revised of course when it was realized this generation had passed away who saw the events of 1914. .

Here is one that's a little different. It's a Britney Spears song called "If U Seek Amy". Get it?
If U Seek Amy = F-U-C-K ME

Did a fifth grade boy right that song, pure stupidity and silliness.

That's Victoria I think her real name is, she's sometimes on Rick Fearon's videoconference talking about how the Dubs and the Masons are so entertwined and her dad and uncles were Masons and Dubs and her doll is the real story behind the Smurf walking out the KH. This chick has some serious issues, when she's featured on Rick's show I tune out until she's done, can't take her anymore

this was taken in london yesterday by a twitter user still managing his fade so i can't be more specific than that.

That pic reminds me of a homeless beggar that I always see at a certain subway station here in NYC, while he's begging everyone for a quarter I notice he's always holding a Washtowel, so one pompous Dub proudly gives him a rag everyday instead of quarter and feels good about it too I'm sure. Thing is you can't eat or drink a magazine, only thing he can do is save it to wipe his ass when he finds a quiet corner somewhere.
