Does this apply to people wherever they live in the world?
Edited to add: So very sad about Grace ( mouthy). Does anyone know if she was ever United with her daughter before the end?

Quite Possibly The Most Sinister Speaker Ever?
by pale.emperor inhi guys.. "brother" jose is quite possibly the most sinister speaker i've ever seen or heard.
and i've seen/head a lot of cults in my time.. he's over the top with his voice tone and gestures.
i see a future governing body member in the making here:.

Ok, I think we have the END truly in site here folks. Brother Jose is definitely the one to lead us to paradise, just like brother Jim Jones did.😱
I now predict the org will go out with a bang, not a whimper. He'll be the one to wack the last few doddering GB members over the back of the head and declare the new light - The Church of Jose's Witnesses!

Blood is healthy
by TheWonderofYou inhttps://www.newscientist.com/article/2112829-blood-from-human-teens-rejuvenates-body-and-brains-of-old-mice/.
the key to youth appears to be in the blood plasma – the liquid part of blood.
several studies have found that injecting plasma from young mice into old mice can help rejuvenate the brain and other organs, including the liver, heart, and muscle.. blood has the power to turn back time.

Ooooo, Madame Bartholey, the Hungarian Countess responsible for the deaths of many virgins - she would bathe in their blood to keep herself looking young and beautiful -WAS RIGHT!!
Only thing she had wrong, she didn't inject it. She was apparently walled up alive in her castle as punishment. Wonder if the virginity of your victim makes any difference?!😜; )

JWs kinda admit to not being Christian
by NikL induring the book study which is basically a book all about the history of "gods organization" ©.
a paragraph that hit me like a ton of the proverbial bricks was this.... 9 first, jehovah’s servants came to have the proper view of the importance of god’s name.
faithful early bible students viewed the ransom arrangement as the bible’s main teaching.

Oh but my poor dear mistaken boy, the Bibles main teaching is the vindication of
correction of his bad reputationJehovah's name whoops I mean the declaration of hisbig bet with Satanuniversal sovereigntyJesus? Where have I heard that name before?

D'you notice how "Happy giving widow grandma" has miraculously got a fatter, fuller healthier looking face than poor "sad starving widow grandma". So even though you have literally nothing to eat, if you give your last money to Watchtower God will make sure you eat enough to put on weight.
I cannot tell you how angry that Watchtower article made me.

They also wrote all their Babylon the Great theories when only Christianity carried any weight in their myopic Westernized world view.
Even if the UN was able to somehow suppress religion in the west, how on earth do they think it would hold any sway in, for example, large swathes of Asia with it's many localised religious beliefs or the Islamic countries....I'd like to see the UN try to stop those Pathan tribesmen in the Afgan mountains from their weekly mozey down to the mosque!

Giordano an hour ago
No it doesn't apply to god as he, she or it remains silent so all we have are bad translations of that silence. The WTBTS simply make's up stuff.
Its like S.E.T.I. started telling us that Aliens were saying if we all wear underpants on our heads and walk around in wellies full of beer they will come visit. We'd know the folks at S.E.T.I. were making it up.
Unfortunately, although the radio's silent at the Watchtower when they make things up it's dangerous and cruel - like the blood stance and shunning.

Memories of Grace Gough
by Mary inhi everyone;i'm not on here too much anymore, but i've been asked to write a brief biography of our dear grace gough ('mouthy' on here).
i'm writing my own memories of her but it was also suggested that i maybe contact others who knew her to see if they had a nice memory or two of her they'd like to share.
it would only have to be a paragraph or two and your name can be kept confidential if you like.

I was reading some old posts on here last year. I didn't ever know Mouthy ( Grace) and it's often hard to get a real sense of the person through forum posts....but I was touched by the level of warmth that emanated from her, the lady's character really shone through as loving, fun and compationate. I'm envious of those of you who had her in your lives.
I know I'm preaching to the choir but what evil the Watchtower has to answer for, for causing a dear old grandmother to be shunned and alone in her old age because her good conscience could not go along with their rulings.
