  ... that this forum, which is such an amazing resource for those needing support for their journey from watchtower's clutches has an increasingly present representation of unreasoning politically charged loudmouths..

  2. friends

  in the sydney morning herald - according to a link on exjwreddit it seems that there is a jw connection to this dreadful tragedy.. it is a long article and i quote a couple of sentences and the headline.. headline.

  'peter didn't snap.

  he thought this through': father of shooting victims speaks'.

  Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales

  by freddo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.

  i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.

  as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.

  This week's (Jan 29th - Feb 4th) CLAM meeting "terrorist attack" video ...

  by freddo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this week's clam meeting has a video from jwborg entitled refreshing those “toiling and loaded down” about the organisation's response to two terrorist's attacks in new york (twin towers) and paris (bataclan 2015).. to me it is more about a back slapping "look what we do for you" than a "left hand not letting the right know" (matt 6 v 3) action of love and care.. ... ... ... ... ... .... if you've read this far - by contrast please google "didi bataclan paris" to read about a true unsung hero.

  not forgetting the true heroes of 9/11 .... ... ... ... ... ... .

  am i too cynical?.

  Changing verses in the new RNWT to suit an agenda

  by freddo in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it's increasingly obvious to me that part of the reason for the "new" rnwt of 2013 is to increase the authority of the organisation and the gb.

  yes, the old one was becoming dated but they have taken opportunities (liberties?

  ) with translation to increase their control.. an obvious one is micah 6 v 8 where "to cherish loyalty" has replaced "and to love kindness".
