Thank you so much sparky one. Lucy has a just giving page where you donate to pancreatic cancer UK directly.Ill post it up when my phone charges up. I’m on my children’s I pad at the moment because my phone died and just about to go to bed. I’ll reply tomorrow but I really am touched at your thoughts. I more or less raised my brother...he’s kind of a brother/son/dad/ all rolled into one (complicated family. Mum remarried and left us with our alcoholic father so were very very close)😥

Fundraiser: Pancreatic cancer : Raffle Man Utd shirt signed by team
by Diogenesister inyou might have noticed some of my comments over the last few months have been a bit down.. you see my wonderful brother, marcus, is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer.
to make things worse, as if they could be, he was finally blessed with his first child, liliana, 19 months ago and we're all absolutely heartbroken for this little girl.. my sister joined a running club some years back and she's finally got a place to run the london marathon 2020. she's donating money raised by the run to pancreatic cancer uk.
they're currently researching for a test...its basically why the prognosis for this cancer is so poor, there are few very specific symptoms... until it's too late.. her footie mad boyfriend has got his paws on a signed man utd football shirt which they are raffling.

Hi everyone. You might have noticed some of my comments over the last few months have been a bit down.
You see my wonderful brother, Marcus, is terminally ill with pancreatic cancer. To make things worse, as if they could be, he was finally blessed with his first child, Liliana, 19 months ago and we're all absolutely heartbroken for this little girl.
My sister joined a running club some years back and she's finally got a place to run the London Marathon 2020. She's donating money raised by the run to Pancreatic Cancer UK. They're currently researching for a test...its basically why the prognosis for this cancer is so poor, there are few very specific symptoms... until it's too late.

I agree Snare & Racket and having two “plants”.....I mean sons in Bethel, probably also “type A” personalities, to smooth the way probably helps, too.
Id say he greased a fair few palms alright....he’s often bragged his family is rich (not really true by the way). His wife was ‘born in’ so she may have had an influential uncle or something.....NB Toni had only been baptized 6 months when they got married so I highly doubt he was at least a ministerial servant (remember his awful talk?) at the time!!!
edit: Pete za hut I was thinking that too. Born ins are trained not to say boo to a goose if they’re not in charge so he would have found it easy to get them all ship shape and in line!!🤣On the other hand a convert is more likely to put their foot in it and not pick up the myriad unspoken cues witnesses notice. It also looks good to have a few converts in the ranks given their theology. If everyone at the top was raised in it doesn’t fit with their idea of what the true religion should look like.

Yes I think as Slim and TruthBKnown have noted, I think that it would depend how you define a JW. In terms of people who believe to a lesser or greater extent, it’s the ‘truth’? I think there’s definitely 8 million.
If we’re talking how Watchtower defines a JW, attends most meetings and submits a FS report every month? I would say that number is less than they claim...at least in the North Western countries. However unfortunately I’d say many whom watchtower would term inactive still contribute financially.

Dad was big on them. When my parents argued and he took out the big guns it would always be “I sold my railway set for you!!!”(to buy their first house lol)I’ve been to the Brighton expo they hold once a year for model rail enthusiasts although my kids were more into the Daleks lol.welsh steam railway

Because we’re so DEEP into the END of the LAST of the LAST DAYS...
Is the latest mantra.
Next year it will be : Because we’re even DEEPER into the END of the LAST of the VERY LAST DAYS....
And after that it will be DEEP into the VERY DEEPEST of the END of the LAST of the VERY, VERY LAST DAYS ...and so on ad infinitum🙄

Dr. Massimo has really got his wires crossed in that Awake article classing watchtower with The Quakers or Baptist’s (although I realise some Baptist sects are OTT and effectively cults}
Thank you JW leaks I couldn’t post that report though I tried

In Britain there’s another legal system working in secret, with no training, no consequences, medieval attitudes to women and children and whose decisions are in reality entirely arbitary and often reliant on who you’re related to. It also has a power far greater than secular courts of law held over the heads of both accused and victim - the power to take away your loved ones.
Time it was stopped entirely frankly.

Are we talking the Dracula Society that had horror legend Christopher Lee as president?
- If you go to Kim & Miley's channel she has a photo of Massimo dressed as Dracula! I'm not sure they're academics that study the myths and legends associated with the count & I'm guessing they're really fans of the book but he definitely belongs to the look her end of "fan-Dom" & takes it to another level of 'belief'!!
From his wiki:
- was the Italian director of the Transylvanian Society of Dracula, which included the leading academic scholars in the field of the literary and historical study of the vampire myth.[43][44] In 1997, J. Gordon Melton and Introvigne organized an event at the Westin Hotel in Los Angeles where 1,500 attendees came dressed as vampires for: "creative writing contest, Gothic rock music and theatrical performances".[43]
