  my old PO was a CO at a very young age, early 20's I think, became a special pioneer at 18 , left school at a ridiculously young age as well, didn't make him a very decent person though, he was a power mad idiot in all the years I knew him, a dangerous slimy snake.

  I think the R&F will wake up soon to this scam, its no more than daylight robbery and fraud, how stupid do they think the R&F really are? especially appealing for funds that run into the £1000's for AH's they already own , the utility costs on any hall anywhere in the UK cant be more than a couple of hundred max for a one day event, thieving lying bastards.

  Apostasy: The Movie - Directed by Daniel Kokotajlo

  by darkspilver in

  daniel kokotajlo's new film apostasy has it's world premiere at the toronto international film festival in september 2017. apostasy.

  family and faith come into conflict for two jehovah’s witness sisters in manchester, when one is condemned for fornication and the other pressured to shun her sibling.. this fresh, unadorned first feature from director dan kokotajlo carries an unmistakable note of authenticity from its very first scenes.

  set in a jehovah's witness community in england, the film's strength and power lies in its directness.. apostasy depicts the growing rift in a family — a mother and two daughters — who are rigorously devoted to their religion.

  i asked the question on quora "how do jehovah's witnesses feel about the announcement that the public edition of the watchtower and awake!

  magazine is being reduced to just 3 issues a year and the number of books, tracts, and online content are being discontinued?".

  wouldn't disagree with any of the theories, but God(jehovah) the Devil (satan) are just as real as the tooth fairy, Sasquatch,Leprechauns and any other mythical beings/creatures

  not going to happen, the group is far too apathetic for that to happen, it would seal their destruction even if the signal was given.
