  Welcome maryo

  There is just so much wrong , JW`s / standards that they used to insist upon in those video`s especially the footloose one .It`s obviously taken in a KH. that would never have happened in my time in the Borg. 1960-1993 .

  Denim jeans was not an Appropiate attire for a male in a K.H. let alone a female., and males wearing hats inside a place of worship ? Sacrelidge , let alone the cat calling out as the song progressed .

  C.T. Russell would not just be turning over in his grave , he would be doing cartwheels in his grave.

  The Jw Special Convention Concert is worthy of a fundamentalist revival meeting.complete with worldly songs..

  I honestly wonder how the real old timers who spent the best part of there lives supporting this religion and expecting the end to come any day now , umpteen years ago ,,view this new trend of worldliness taking over the more conservative side of the religion they were so used to.

  Has anybody seen the movie "The Danish Girl " ?

  i watched it today and i truly enjoyed it .to me it was truly an emotional journey for what this young man went through .. i had tears rolling down my face for half the movie which goes for 2 hours.

  eddie redmayne deserves an oscar for his performance and so does the woman playing his wife alicia vikander , based on a true story.. in my heyday as a witness i probably would have turned it off and banned it from my home .. it`s an amazing journey life takes you after exiting a cult religion .. smiddy.

  I appreciate movies that claim to be based on a true story, do take poetic liscense with the facts to dramatize or enhance the story line.

  Maybe I should read about the true life story to get a well balanced view . Thanks .

  so we had brother losch visiting our special assembly day which was weird in itself.

  he's not a very good speaker and seemed like he was in dire need of a nap or something.. anyways just a few observations from the assembly program.

  theme: imitate their faith.

  Just imagine , if even a few hundred years ago , humanity rejected higher education , we would , one and all including J.W.`s , still be living in the dark ages . without all of the scientific , health , technological , benefits that we all enjoy today , and take for granted , and that includes Jehovah`s Witnesses .

  Lurkers take note Please.

  Why are the G.B.relying on / asking for Lawyers , Barristers , Solicitors ,etc. , to be part of there legal team ?

  Surely they had to get a higher education to fulfill those roles didn`t they ?

  They are also asking for Charted Accountants , and people with general Accounting qualifications , something that has to be acquired with a higher education Certificate .

  On the one hand they say higher education is a no,no ,

  then on the other hand they are asking for brothers or sisters who have higher education qualifications in the fields of the legal profession and the financial sector to apply for positions in the organization .

  Especially here in Australia , the Confidential November letter 2015 , to the B.O.E. to be returned by December 2015.

  If you cant see hypocricy , duplicity , there , or double standards in place , then I feel sorry for you .

  I predicted a lottery number from a pattern, is the lottery NOT random or is random held to a universal force?

  i've studied and observed several lottery patterns.

  this one is now gone so nothing lost by revealing it.

  i had a certain history search and noticed that almost each week the past few months a list of numbers not used recently were being used 1 per week.

  E.O.M.

  When you work out the winning lottery numbers think of your friends on here . but do it via PM , I`d hate to think a G.B.member lurking here got wind of it

  If and I mean a very big IF , the IS state did in fact carry out this atrocity , it is just one of many atrocity` s .

  When are the powers that be , which includes the USA ,UK ,and there allies , going to exercise there authority , and once and for all put an end to this murderous bloodthirsty ,barbaric ,organization and wipe them out forever .

  They obviously have the power , but not the will to do so ....So much for Western Democracy ,the USA as the leader of the free world , and her allies to back her up .Such as the UK , France , and Australia.

  How pitiful

  You have to come to the conclusion that they are happy to leave things as they are without a resolution.

  All they are doing is keeping the status Quo.,.Content to let IS do what it want in their own land , just so long as they don`t try it on our territory .
