I was "totally" stopped in my tracks by an "atheist" comment.

by booker-t in

i must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.

i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.

i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.

The London Mill Hill Congregation Investigation 2008-09

by JWB in

after the extracts are links to news items relating to the case.. .

charities back on track.

themes and lessons from.

this animal attends my old congregation where his father inlaw Ian Campbell is an elder there, his wife gave birth within the last couple of years but was presserized into moving to a nearby congregation Mitcham, the stupid idiot has decided to stand by him , he can visit his baby once a fortnight under strict Child Services supervision, thank goodness there are some that do care about children and babies, this animal who is in "good standing" likes to rape them. I'm shunned by the folks there!

How many have stopped attending at YOUR Kingdumb Hell?

by hamsterbait in

on a recent thread about the fleecing of the sheeples, one poster said their congo was down to 85 publishers from 102.. the last hall i attended had 80-odd publishers 20 years ago, now only 30.. how much of a decline at your kh?.

when I was a very small kid there used to be a big grand church in our territory less a then a mile from our KH it had a huge steeple and was a great landmark,but it got demolished and I was convinced that Babylon the Great was falling and this fate was to befall all churches! it was replaced by a synogogue! but alas the Evangelical Churches are booming in our area,there is an Evangelical Church that uses the school hall next to my kids school and it is packed out weekly, they even have a parking marshall,so much for that idiot Slimboyfat claiming that the WTS is the worlds fastest growing religion!

you wont waste more of your time or find anything as pointless and futile as starting attending these worthless so called meetings , there are hundreds of more worthwhile things you can be doing, boot them into touch my dear and find something better to do with your time.

not too sure, there must only be a handful left of the old timers from when I was there, I think we had 70 plus pubs , guess it cant be much over 50, one big surprise was the disbanding of a cong in our circuit though.

First trip to Europe this summer...only 20 years later than I planned :)

by Gypsy Sam in

so, i'm quite excited but also slightly freaked out as i'm able to go this summer instead of next like i had counted on (my daughter graduates next year and i was planning to go then).

this means i'm doing this last minute and i wanted to see if any of you have used https://www.go-today.com or gateone travel or go ahead travel?.

i'm planning on london, paris and rome for two weeks, likely july at this point.

bit of advice when in London, if you plan on using the bus and tube buy an "Oyster" card (£5.00) , paper cash tickets are double in price ,and also use the tube after 0930 "off peak" far cheaper, a zone 1-2 top up where you can use unlimited bus and tube is only about £8.00/day,you can "top up" credit on the machines at Tube stations using card or cash, Black taxis are expensive but if there is a few of you to split the fare then they are more viable,also avoid at all costs The Angus Steak House chain there are loads of them in Central London and they are over priced tourist trap rubbish, there are thousands of great places to eat check out The Time Out Guide, Chinatown is worth a visit or for a curry head over to Brick Lane, take a look at the usual attractions The Tower of London, St Pauls, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, The London Eye,Buckingham Palace, The National Gallery, The Tate Gallery and The Tate Modern, also day trips to Bath and Stonehenge are well worth doing. Pubs in London are worth visiting for a few beers etc, the food isnt generally great. Hope you have a wonderful trip I've not even been to Rome!
