Ah, Rick's a good sort, you know? He's got a good heart.
Listen I loved Minimus and we didn't agree on politics all the time either, but he had a great sense of humour. Rick knew Minimus personally and they obviously were very fond of each other.
That's the horrible thing with witnesses we can't be open about our friendships. It's horrible. I'm so sorry Min we'll miss you!
And rock on Rick "TELE NETWORK"🤣AND Simon you're the OGs as the kids say!
minimus former jw, prolific poster on jwn died.. minimus.
joined 19 years ago.

My heart literally went into my stomach when I read that line....
Can anyone tell us anything more?
Poor minimus! He will be so missed. I wish there was some way to pay respects to his family, under his real name (since pretty sure he was out)
I wish Rick would put date stamps on the video because I can't find anything.
If so RIP minimus, I will miss your sense of humour, you could really brighten all our days😥
imagine the "faithful" jws who are now having to talk to this person by court order or face the consequences----legally.. exjws are spreading the news and now some exjws who have been disfellowshipped for years are starting to research to see if this is an option in their country.
here are the articles, you need to translate in google.

Just to say, the victim is a believing Jehovah's witness and that explains why she would not involve the man in the case, nor prosecute him, since he is a "brother". Therefore no court has been able to ascertain as to whether she was raped (which is why the judges in this case would not officially make that claim).
It also explains why she has yet to "go public" about her court victory. Watchtower broke some very specifically Norwegian laws and @goatlikepersonality has made a YouTube commentary on the case since he knows the lady in question.
howdy folks,.
i am interested in learning whether or not the watchtower society is the only religious entity that teaches the "from paradise lost to paradise regained" idea.. the "idea" is that god's original purpose for man and the earth has not changed.
god purposed for adam and eve and their offspring to reproduce and fill the earth and live forever upon it; but the problem of sin entered into the picture and temporarily interrupted that purpose from being completed.
SB I believe Jesus used to walk around the garden with Adam, just the two of them enjoying each others company. It will be like that. People just hanging out with God, enjoying him
I must admit that sounds pretty good. Imagine being able to pick God's brains and ask anything.....no need for Google lol😜
sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.
they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.
although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..
They are also criminally responsible for countless suicides due to their teaching that a person can self-atone when they die.
Absolutely, Sea Breeze, I think governments don't understand the power this teaching has on the psyche of a witness.
If they understood it's connection to suicide they'd reconsider Watchtower tax exempt status.
ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.
all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.
not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .
Supposedly these 13 families, such as the DuPonts, Mcdonalds, Kennedys,
Onassis, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, the Li family of China, etc, all
have their fingers in investment banking, politics, sciences, etc.
Then....
freemasons technically only started in 1700'something, when a group got
together of the above families and began fermenting a plot to overthrow
the british and french empires.
Pretty sure the MacDonald and Li family's, not to mention the Kennedys and Russell's, were busy digging up potatoes or rice from some Godforsaken bog back in the 1700's😂
Your typical Freemasons are usually boring dentists or black cabbies, not billionaires with their fingers on the pulse of world events .....
so picture this, you are suddenly withdrawing troops after 2 decades in a country and, well, its all gone to shit.. how do you ensure that your vulnerable citizens and allies can get out when the airport is surrounded and no one can get through?.
option 1: it's a trick question surely?
you don't get yourself into this mess in the first place - you withdraw the citizens first, not last, duh!.
It's the airport....how did they think deserting a well defended, well stocked, massive base with every piece of security tech at your fingertips in favour of evacuating from a small, civilian airport that's impossible to defend - with half the world's terrorists on your tail - was a good idea? And the military leaders just said "ok, that sounds like a plan!"....😳🙄.
in a scene reminiscent of the fall of saigon, the usa embassy staff have been evacuated by helicopter.. for a third time in asia ( a fourth, if you count usa supported chiang kai shek's defeat in mainland china) usa supported forces have been defeated.
more than 1 trillion dollars wasted and a huge deathtoll (both sides) afghanistan is back to where it started,.
will the taliban behave differently this time ?
In my daily reads I can cover newspapers from all around the world, so I get to see and understand what the world is thinking.
Hi Fulltimestudent I just wondered how do you this? Is it an App that you get a subscription to all the major papers? I've been looking for something like that.
insight book page 1019 volume 2. personification does not prove personality.. this is seen in the explanation given regarding jesus using he for the holy spirit.
that the holy spirit is said to do so many things like hearing, receiving speaking does not prove that holy spirit is a personality.
on that same page proverbs 8:1-36 was cited.
Waton I'm not quite sure what you mean? Perhaps I've misunderstood you, (or maybe you're joking?)If so, apologies!
But anyway I googled it and found this...
All human individuals—whether they have an XX, an XY, or an atypical sex chromosome combination—begin development from the same starting point. During early development the gonads of the fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female

agree Hermit ... although this monument is an embarrassing chapter in their history, I'm surprised the GB did not attempt to take it down and make it disappear like so many other embarrassments.
I think there's a reason for that.....someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the land is owned by the Bible Students (or the SDA church?) So Watchtower wouldn't have control of it to be able to remove it ( though I'm sure they'd love to!)
Desecration of anyone's grave is a crime and should be prosecuted as such.
