  Very happy young drum player

  by Sour Grapes in

  2. experiences

  when i saw this young boy play the drums i was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has.

  for some strange reason, i thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the jdubs and became witnesses.

  i could see how the boy's life would change.

  How a rumor of assassination spooked the Watchtower

  by Terry in

  2. scandals

  president kennedy's brother robert excited the world as a candidate for president 5 years after jfk's murder.rfk, in turn, was murdered.the assassin's name was sirhan sirhan, he was palestinian.it just so happened the assassin's father, bishara, was a member in good standing as one of jehovah’s witnesses.so what?

  so this:this seemingly innocent fact would jolt jehovah's witnesses into a near panic.

  i know because i was there.here are the facts as i remember them.______the jehovah's witness, bishara sirhan unfortunately had a reputation in his neighborhood and community for being excitable, even volatile at times.

  Wow, Terry! I hadn't yet joined up with JW's in the sixties but the context that you share is a totally new perception for me. I had no idea that there was any connection to the assasin Sirhan. The ignorance among the Witnesses enables them to spin the current affairs into something directly relevant to themselves and that was a biggie!

  I wish I had known you back then. I'd love to sit down with you and just listen to you.

  The "Hate Crime" mob stirring things up again!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. social
  2. current

  staff in a takeaway were offended by two lesbians' full-on kissing and expressed their opinion about the behaviour.

  the lesbians complained to police that a "hate crime" was committed.. homosexual or heterosexual - do it in private, it's not a spectator sport or a public statement.. minority groups can invoke police action if they are "offended," but society in general cannot do likewise.. why has "being offended" been turned into a hate crime in the uk?

  who is pushing this agenda?.

  In my defense, Nicolau, you had to be there. These girls were rabid. Since the funeral was for my deceased grandson, I was making the rounds thanking people for being there in support of the parents. These bitches ( sorry, only word that fits) blew me off like dirt on their sleeve. Then they had the nerve to show up at my home afterward, uninvited and act offended when they were told that it was just family gathering. They sat in the drive for 45 minutes like they were planning to crash the place.

  Class. Tell me about class, Nic.

  I am currently doing some contract work for a lesbian couple who have class. The two at the funeral were horrible people. So chill out.

  Friends! (A pain in the ...?)

  friends?

  some friends are like a holiday a favorite pair of shoes the scratching post for kitten fingers to caress some friends can really wear you out with their whinging and their blues yet more or less - not worse than all the rest.

  some friends are chatty cherubim and others?

  Smiddy, I have a different take on that little proverb. I think "a friend in need is a friend indeed" is talking about having a friend when I am in need, not THEM. I think it's talking about how so-called "friends" disappear when you are down and out, also referred to as "fair-weather friends." But you find out who your friends really are when you are in need.

  I thought it was really cool the first time I saw Alexa at somebody's home. I wanted one. But it kind of creeps me out. Too much potential for evil doers!

  I attended a funeral where a couple of lesbians also attended. They stood off to the side, hating everybody, just glaring. All those straight people. Disgusting! I hated them for being such agenda-driven bitches. It's a funeral, bitch! Have a little class.

  Two Bible Beliefs of Jehovah`s Witnesses ,Do They Align with each other ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1.the first is 2 cor.4:4 that satan is "the god of this system of things" to blind the minds of the unbelievers etc.. so logically this "system of things" would mean the governments ,politicians, armed forces and law enforcement agency`s such as the police would it not?

  so satan is in control of all of these under the banner of being the god of this system of things.?.

  2. rom.13: 1-7 " let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities for their is no authority except by god".

  Money! How much did you "Contribute" To The WTB@TS When You Were A Member

  by The Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was in full time service for six years including bethel.

  once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.

  i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.

  If we had a "windfall," like selling a house or some amount of family money came our way, we would go through the process with the accounts brother so as to be contributing to the WWW and getting a receipt for tax purposes. Not the whole bundle, just a spike in our contribution to the WorldWideWork. Until the accounts servant mouthed off about it, as though we were out of line to want a receipt. After that there were no more generous contributions. I could see that money-grubbing was systemic with the Witnesses. People felt like if you have money to give away, give some to me. Not that we blew our horn about what we did, the account servant had a big mouth and discreet was not in his vocabulary.

  CHILD MOLESTATION: How have they been able to hide it for so long?

  Fink, I don't think it's as rampant as some here would have you think, either. My point is that it is such a taboo subject that I was never informed about what had come to pass with my own daughter. So, really, who knows how rampant it is, if they keep it from the parents? Actually, I think my wife was filled in, but she's already "damaged goods."

  To add insult to my injury, when my daughter got involved with the son of an elder in later years, she was the one held "responsible," as though the boy couldn't have done anything wrong. She let herself get DF'd and never looked back.

  They have been able to hide child molestation because everybody is agreeable to it or kept in the dark about it.
