he's an outsider when it comes to running the government that will make big mistakes at every turn because he seems clueless when it comes to running a government.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/michael-moore-predicts-trump-impeach-resign_us_58261464e4b0c4b63b0c6dee.

He will be re-elected in another electoral college landslide. The media will blame ______ for the loss. A bunch of smug liberals will cry and be forced to their "safe areas". Oh; the rest of us will enjoy it all over again; while waiting for the idiots to keep their promise of moving to Canada.

"Religion of Peace" Busy In Europe Today...

by freemindfade in

turkey and now berlin, the abrahamic mind virus strikes again... actually there is no confirmation the truck attack was islam, but... it's probably islam.

at least in europe, they call terrorist attacks just that, unlike here in america, we have become so crazy we have clear terrorist attacks, some over a year old now that they still question the motive ala san bernadino.. religion .

Why is calling an obvious act of terrorism; terrorism; irresponsible? Who's going to get hurt by calling it what it is? Why do we need to wait for some idiot to spell out the obvious? (I think); "they" have a globalist agenda and want to wait until they have absolutely no choice but to call it terrorism. "Their" first and only priority is to protect at all costs the globalist agenda; not to protect the citizens. And the media carry "their" water.

The Pajama Boys are on the way out in about a month. We'll start calling evil for what it is soon enough.

just got this excerpt from a friend who is an elder all excited about how jah's people are using technology.

guess we won't have to provide links anymore.. excerpt:.

we are pleased to inform you that the study articles in the english edition of the watch-tower will be made available as pdf files in the public area of the jw.org web site.

So much for the accusation of 'members-only' and 'secret' watchtower.

Letter sufficient grounds for DFing?

by dozy in

a question here mainly for ex-elders etc , though all input would be helpful.. a letter that i wrote some time ago confidentially to an elder regarding the usual issues about the gb etc has come into the hands of a couple of members of the congregation who are regarding it a prime facie evidence that i am an apostate.

though the letter isn't especially incriminating as such , it does flag up several mistakes that the wtbts has made.

the brother has described me as "verging on apostate.".

grassyknoll07

The letter is grounds for a judicial committee. The two witness rule does not apply since you have confessed in writing. The elders have a duty to help you. They should have met with you to discuss your doubts and put a sincere effort to changing your mind (Galatians 6:1). If after all efforts you continue to hold to your apostate beliefs you s/b disfellowshipped. But if you have been promoting your views in the congregation; that's a different story. You are going to have a very difficult time convincing the JC that your repetence is sincere. At that point you are considered a threat to others.

I would see the letter as a 'sheep' crying out for help and encourage the BOE to help you. I tell friends all the time... you don't get disfellowshipped for your sins. You get disfellowhipped for your attitude during the JC.

LATEST BIG RUMOR: WTS calls a moratorium on ALL KH construction in US & Canada

based on an informal conversation this past weekend.... an elder with "connections" to the local rbc stated that he heard that the society was instituting a moratorium on all kingdom hall construction in the us and canada.

any projects for which funding has already been arranged will continue, but as of now, no new kh construction loans are being approved by the society.. there are enough projects in the pipeline that rbcs will still be busy for the next year or 2, but after that....who knows?.

my thoughts:.

FYI, the WTS owns all the halls. They drive this poing before any build or remodel. The Hall is a Kingdom Interest and is owned and controlled by the branch. I was told we are one congragation, "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses". One congregation! I got the feeling the branch will eventually asume control of all the local funds and distribute the funds as they see fit to remodel and maintain KHs.

I was informed it will be very difficult to get a loan in the US for a few years. There is a great need of halls internationally and the funds donated to KHAA will be used for that purpose. US halls should finance their own remodels/builds. And when US congragations decide to do so, the local congregations will have no say in how the money is spent. RBC will contol the funds and ensure they are used for the project wisely. Apparently some halls are being overly decorated and money is not being spent wisely. I was told you can build a decent hall in africa for about $5000, and some halls in the US are spending that much in a sound system.
