And so what if Christmas is actually a sun-worship festival, and "Christ" in fact references the Sun? Without the sun, we wouldn't be here at all.

Should't they cancel their meeting tonight?
by carla ini find it kind of amusing that as worldly people who pass by a kh and know nothing of jw's tonight will think that the jw's are having a christmas eve service.
many churches have a number of services tonight; children's program, family/christmas eve service and maybe a midnight candlelight service.. you know how some jw's won't even wear red between nov & dec lest anybody think they are celebrating the holidays?
well then, shouldn't they cancel tonight's meeting so nobody thinks they are doing their own christmas eve service?

They never cancel a boasting session for a holiday. That would amount to "celebrating it", even though they put on the appearance. Having a Tuesday evening boasting session the day before Christmas is something they happily do, regardless. I remember having a book study one Christmas Eve, spending the night with one of the hounders, and was saved from Christmas Day field circus only when we got enough snow that the father had to work that day. Everyone else went to the big waste of money hall (a$$embly), wasting that day.
I also remember that time we had a Sunday boasting session on Christmas Day and the following New Year's Day. It was just another day, and they did have field circus after (I had to work New Years Day, and declined field circus Christmas Day after the boasting session). To me, that is a fine waste of a holiday. Not to mention, Thanksgiving Day always featured an evening boasting session because it was on a boasting session night.
Nice way to a dreary Christmas.

Worldly holidays
by road to nowhere inif they announce anything any more ( my hall doesnt even announce funerals, only judicial stuff and letters from mom) they say something like: "tomorrow is a worldly holiday so..... ".
we all know it is christmas or whatever.
and most of us do have a day off, ( needed) the smart ones who are able will work for the double time and fewer bosses around.

It is a complete waste of time. You go out and see everyone enjoying their holiday while you can't do any of it. Instead, you waste the time when everyone is at home, and you disrupt their holidays for nothing. Usually, they are not interested or will happily waste 15 minutes discussing jesus in such a way that it goes nowhere.
And it is worse for children getting dragged out in field circus on Christmas. They go to door after door seeing others enjoying their presents, having their sun-worship tree lit up, and having fun while they are stuck going in field circus. Usually, they are stuck out all day, and it is a drudgery at best. If they run into classmates, it can be a big embarrassment as well. All the while, they get nothing for Christmas--not even the proverbial coal.
They claim that Christmas is stressful? How stressful is it to go out preaching to everyone, watching them enjoying their holiday, and knowing that they will never do the same? How bad is it to see others going out and having fun, while all they do is waste their time in the same areas they go around day in and day out? And there are boasting sessions, business as usual, on these holidays.
At least they get to go out at 9:30 instead of the usual 9 on holidays.

The Craziness of an Average Bible Study
by Number 6 inlast week i posted a thread asking about who knew any "real anointed" and got some cracking replies.. that got me to thinking, as someone brought up in the 70's and 80's in the watchtower religion, my experience of bible studeis in their homes and those who made it to the hall were mostly batshit crazy or at least people with some serious quirks.. i'll relate a few, none of whose names i remember with any clarity.. in our cong we had an older couple who were from london, but who had been in the 1950's in the circuit work in the mid west usa.
they brought along some woman one night they had started a study with who told everyone cheerfully she was a recovering alcoholic and this was her cure (coming to the meetings).
this went on for a few weeks until one night they brought her to the memorial and she was royally pissed, and i mean barely able to stand; and went up to the platform table and necked some wine.

Coming to boasting sessions a cure for alcoholism? I don't think so. There are meditations one can do that would help with that, but Abrahamic religions have destroyed or corrupted them so they do not work. (At the direction of the reptilian race, I might add.)
All we have today is those meetings from AA to help alcoholics stay away from booze. It is not a cure (then again, because the reptilians really run this planet, cures are not allowed for anything including a simple headache), but it is far better than any washtowel boasting session. In fact, at the astral level, Christi-SCAM-ity is only going to make it worse.

Just a moan - regarding the latest trend in ignorance of the English language!
by The Fall Guy inin recent months i have noticed more and more people on the net (including here) are using this latest perversion of the english language -.
"i would of done this..........or he would of tried to change things".
it's would've - short for would have!.

Mistakes are one thing. It is excusable if English is not your first language, you are doing your best to master English, and your native language has grammar that is different from English. I understand that French places adjectives after their nouns, and German frequently pushes helper verbs to the end of clauses where English doesn't.
But, for people that grew up with English (and typos allowed) that continually make the same lazy grammar mistakes, they really need to start working on their grammar. This needs to be addressed to the source of the problem--the Rockefeller diseducation system that would rather teach people that they need to be enslaved instead of teaching proper grammar. How many class hours are wasted teaching fictitious or outdated things to guilt people into paying reparations for something that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago, or didn't happen at all? No wonder people do not take education seriously.
Or, what about Martin Luther Tyrant type philosophy that makes "minority" demographics lazy on purpose? They come out of school lazy and stupid, because that is the culture this tyrant imposed on them. Racist? What about Marcus Garvey, who was just as black as Martin Luther Tyrant and tried teaching his race to rise up? Where did that teaching go, Rockefellers? Stop encouraging people to be lazy at the institutional level, stop wasting class hours teaching outdated or fictitious rubbish to impose global enslavement, and start teaching the basics (and grammar, like it or not, is one of the basics).

Vehicle manufacturers are ripping off UK drivers!
by The Fall Guy invast numbers of vehicles sold in britain are sub-standard quality.
so many vehicle's indicators/turn signals only function when the steering wheel is turned to exit a motorway, overtake other vehicles, or to turn right or left at junctions.
more often than not, they just don't work at all!

Maybe the manufacturers should pay for all the tickets (and points) the drivers get for not using their turn signals, and take full blame if a bad signal leads to an accident. Perhaps that would start sending a signal that they need to stop making things that do not work, just so they can get more money to fix them. Along with paying reparations for the damage they do to the environment with parts in landfills, and whatever other damage they do to the environment in wasted gas to replace them or because they waste energy themselves.

Even though I do not believe Donald Dump is anywhere near perfect (he still shills too much for Israel for my liking--I thought the president is supposed to put his or her own country ahead of Israel), the alternatives are far worse. KILLary would have certainly imposed World War III, political correctness even worse than we already have, unlimited and uncontrolled immigration, the military draft (and activated it), and made sure that no one would ever be able to help America again.
Nor would the other alternatives have been much better. Just the mainstream status quo. I do not want to be paying reparations forever for incidents that were done away with back in 1865, and that I didn't have anything to do with creating. This ancestral debt is exactly why I dislike the whole bible and quran so much--being infinitely in debt for an incident that happened in the past and I could do nothing to prevent or fix. I also do not like having New York City style monitoring of everything I do. Even though Dump is doing a rather poor job fixing things (where is that wall? Where is the reversal of Abomination Care? Why is it taking so long for these big time criminals--bankers, kiddie porn ring leaders and child trafficking ring leaders, and so on--to end up in jail?), I don't think anyone else would have done much better.
And I don't like any of the alternatives for 2020, either. Warren is just more of the same trend--you want $150,000 per year out of your pay, forever, going for reparations for something that was ended in 1865? And none of the other alternatives are for more than communism, political correctness, and eventually having us under Noahide Law and prepping this planet for the reptilians to move in. About the only viable candidate is the one that the jokehovians claim is the Ruler of the world--Satan. (Maybe then, we could have real solutions in weeks and months, not tens of thousands of years).

Pray before sex just like you do for food-W62 3/15
by krismalone inthe governing body has lovingly provided instructions and reminders to couples that they should pray before having sex.
please be obedient and follow the wise counsel from the gb leaders who never stick their noses into other peoples business and are not creepy cult leaders at all....not!.
"had he not created the first human pair so that they could cohabit, planted in them an attraction for each other and then commanded them to "be fruitful and become many"?

WTWizard
Maybe I will not pray to that thing at all. Joke-hova never provided anything worthwhile for me, and I mean never. You do the work, you make the effort, and perhaps you exchange for something with someone else--and that freeloader joke-hova gets the praise?

There are plenty of good choices--that is, if the globalists keep their dirty paws off of them (Soros, that refers to you in particular). I would not want to live in Africa, tropical parts of South or Central America, or southern Asia.
That leaves plenty of places--assuming Soros doesn't import the lowlife into every corner of the planet (and, the way that thing is going, that is happening at an alarming clip). New Zealand has plenty of fun things to do, and it does get cold on the South Island (the North Island is warmer). Germany is a fun place to explore--assuming, again, that DRECKel doesn't impose strict political correctness laws (yes, I can handle the strict drug laws because I do not waste my money ruining my brain on that). (And the language is one I could continue improving on.) The countryside of England or Scotland is also good, if they will only leave the culture alone (instead of forcing Christi-SCAM-ity or islam on me). Iceland is a beautiful country, but has relatively little to do and is quite expensive.
In the states, there are quite a few nice places (again, assuming Warren and AOC do not get elected into office and push the lowlifes everywhere in the country). Maine is a good state--within a few miles of Portland, there are plenty of things to do. L.L.Bean is located in Freeport, and Palace Playland is nearby. The area near Exeter, NH is also nice--not that far from the coast, near Manchester but not directly in, and within easy driving distance from several amusement parks. Northern NH is also nice--near Storyland, Santa's Village, and Attitash. They do get cold in the winter--not a big deal if you are equipped for it.
Or, some place like Wyoming, Montana, or Idaho. The down side there is relative scarcity of amusement (but there is a lot of outdoor activity--Montana is not named "Big Sky Country" for nothing). The weather there can get cold (again, if you are equipped for it, that is no big deal--I would rather have it -40 with blizzards out than have the problems associated with multi-culturalism, lousy immigrants that do their best to ruin the native area, and political correctness).
I will pass on Florida, southern Texas, southern Arizona, California, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and the areas near the biggest and dirtiest cities (New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Atlanta, and so on). There are way too many problems with the southeast, and not just the hot, humid summers. And not just the fire ants, water moccasin snakes, and bees. I would rather find a place where I fit in with regard to the weather than a place where people are forced to live together that clash with each other (a recipe for high crime rates, too). And the biggest problem I have with the southeast is that stupid bible belt--at least Maine and Montana are not part of that abomination.

Department Store Santa Claus - Do They Still Exist?
by RubaDub ini remember when stores would advertise that santa claus would be there from 2-4 pm on a saturday or something for several weeks before christmas.
you would see them everywhere.. do they still exist in your area?.
maybe parents finally realized that having a drunk guy with a white beard getting his jollies off with young children on his lap was not a good idea.. just my thoughts.

Numerous things have disappeared. Santa is one of them. I hardly see stores decorated much for Christmas at all. I have yet to see a Salvation Army stand set up--whether or not anyone is manning it. Houses in the area are sparsely decorated, if at all--instead of contests to see who can deck out the most, it is who can have the lamest displays. I also barely see any ads for Christmas anything, whether online or instore. Even displays with Christmas supplies seem to be much smaller than just a few years ago.
And when you do see Christmas anything advertised, they always slip in some political correctness. It is as if they are trying to merge the human species into one big blob, the way they did with the greys--and they are doing a good job at it. They are also trying to ruin all the holidays mixing them with each other. Hanukkah and Christmas do not mix--and neither does Kwanzaa (which is actually a corrupted version of Lammas Day, racialized and deliberately moved to conflict with an established holiday). I would rather see Lammas Day moved back to its proper day on the first of August, deracialized so everyone participates, and fixed to its original condition so we all benefit from it. That way, we can have both holidays in their proper places, we don't generate racial conflict or cultural clashes, and everyone wins.
Not to mention, if I hear any more Christmas songs in Spanish (aside Feliz Navidad, which has become a classic despite its being in Spanish), I am ready to find out who is trying to ruin it for English speaking countries and send them a card that says "Triste Weihnachten und pechlich Neue Jahr!" to them. And send Santa a note that trying to push Puerto Rican culture in the North is grounds to receive coal in their stockings. Fine if you live in Puerto Rico or the Southwest--keep that culture there, and keep it pure. But, for those in the North, you are used to dreaming of a white Christmas. And yes, if you live on Christmas Island, you can wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe instead of a sled--just not in the north of USA, Canada, Europe, or northern Asia where snow is standard.
