  2016-2-17-Destroy Previous S-77 Forms!

  by Atlantis in

  2. bible

  these numbers and letters:--gbr659967--are the only identifying markson this boe..the "informant" who sent it said:.

  "this letter came through the congregation inbox and so hasn't got theusual identifying information.

  the name of the file is probably thebest way to identify it.

  So with the GBR on it, was that addressed to the UK branch area?

  also was there really an attachment or am I missing the new form that it mentions?

  Christians, Pedophilia and the Australian Royal Commission

  the vast majority of christians are not pedophiles and would most likely deplore it.

  so why do so many church organisations try to cover it up?.

  probably there are two reasons:.

  Just saw this on youtube. As a big fan of Tim Minchin and this song deserves some publicity.

  and yet this is after they supposedly dropped the type/antitype thing.

  Is not this the same thing in a different package?

  hi people,.

  i want as much data as possible on the effect of the internet on the time captured by the cult.. please answer the three following questions about yourself or about someone you know (for example, if your parents or grandparents were jw's and left).

  1) were you raised as a jw, or did you convert?.

  ROKU Maybe damaging TVs

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  using a roku may damage the color on tv sets.

  it appears to change the color phase to magenta.. has anyone else noticed this problem on their tvs while using a roku?

  apparently, the problem cannot be repaired.. http://forums.roku.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=90113.

  It doesn't hurt the TV, and there is a firmware fix out for it now. Also I've only heard about it on the Roku 4.

  I have the 3 and at least have not had any issues, unless there was an update that broke it then another fixed it.

  This is the dude running QCS Telecom

  we all remember the acquisition of qcs telecom by the wtbts.

  this was posted on jw-archive with a link to a linkedin profile of the alleged project manager.

  if it is true that they are actually putting down 100g network, i can tell you first hand that is effing expensive.

  I think they just wanted the fiber already installed. They probably are not going to grow it any.

  November 2015 Awake

  ok. when i first looked at the cover of this issue of awake i was instantly struck on how creepy it looked.

  my first impressions were the picture looked almost masonic in nature.

  well, further investigation has led me to another picture that shows a grand masonic hall.

  That first picture is a church. Nothing more.

  I've not been inside a masonic lodge, but I will agree with rebelfighter, they don't have pews.

  A passing thought when driving past an inactive JWs place today.

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  i'm going to tell you of a family i knew of when growing up as a jw.

  she was a solo mother who had 2 daughters and these 2 daughters were absolutely stunning both physically and personailty wise.

  i remember thinking at the time how commendable it was that such beautiful looking women would choose to stay in the organisation.

  Pete, excellent analogy, I love it and hope I can remember it.

  My second thought was that often, when people leave the JW's and don't have a firm conviction that they were right in doing so, will sometimes gravitate towards the things in life that aren't worth having or doing, simply because they feel they are now wicked. They subconsciously think that since they aren't JW's anymore, they are part of the wicked world they've heard oh so much about.

  
  

  Ive seen even first hand how people can go down this path, for any reason, wipe other thinking they are not worthy due to not being mentally free, or not realizing exactly what you say, there is no dichotomy in life, many people people make choices that don't lead them down a destructive path.
