Uncle punky seems to me they suddenly claim to be anointed(tm) to get a position in the corporation(tm) as GB(tm) (Pee be upon them), member.

It's so disingenuous that it's risible

Ruddy right it's risable!!!

There's no way a born in with stalwart parents baptised in 89 claimed to be anointed! He'd have been laughed out of the Hall. Back then the anointed were all...well not just old, but WW1 generation old. You never, ever saw anyone under 70 imbibe on the old memorial. Cook decided he was anointed in the Bethel canteen, apparently, soon after he took up post there about 11 years ago😂

Rattigan That way women aren't fawning over them because of their accents like they do with Barr, Loesch and Jackson.

Ratty that's the funniest thing I've read all week: "women aren't fawning over..…...... Jackson"😂😭

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.

this is not a joke.

anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!

Does anyone know where Antony Morris' accent is from? It's very distinctive and unusual..."Mayyy gets"(maggots) . Is it Florida? It's very odd. Sounds vaguely Canadian?

A question about the contemporary generation teaching following a conversation with a JW apologist

by Giles Gray in

i would like to ask the ex-jws on this site to put their ‘apologists hat’ back on for a moment, so that i can go through the overlapping generation teaching in an attempt to make sense of it.

i apologise if these points have already been addressed on this site.a quick background for the reason for my request… having never confronted a jw apologist on the topic, i recently engaged with a jw regarding the official understanding of a ‘generation’ and unfortunately he didn’t have an answer to the points i was making.

i was left a little confused as to what the official jw response would/should be.so i was hoping that my thoughts below might be considered from an apologist’s perspective.the point in question relates to this section of the watchtower article below from 2008, as well as the jw.org video explanation of the overlapping generation:---:w08 2/15[box on page 25] can we calculate the length of “this generation”?the word “generation” usually refers to people of various ages whose lives overlap during a particular time period or event.

😢🥺That video made me tearful. What a lucky, Lucky family ♥️♥️ I give anything for that. Worth more than a billion pounds...true riches.

Bethel Tours restarting

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

the org is always so late.

i remember the last in person meetings before went to zoom, none of us were wearing facemasks and i thought why is the org so late with this.

they just announced older ones shouldn’t come but most large organisations had already stopped in person.

Diogenesister

Couldn't agree more.

What is your favorite EX- JW You Tube site and why???

by Balaamsass2 in

the mrs (third gen) and i have been on this site for a number of years now.

we appreciate simon's efforts to keep this site active and available.

i find a number of pimo jw friends enjoy youtube for some reason.

Diogenesister

We all love Wally (JWthoughts).

I love Rick for his dedication and the phone in for older leavers and believers.

Slim's choice above is probably one of my favourites. He doesn't make vids that often but he puts so much thought into them and they're oftenp hilarious.

JW fairytale is a legend.

Wendy Renay is professional, warm and supportive.

Kim and Mikey keep us all informed. Mikey is a hoot.

Marcus Vaughn ex walkill Bethelite actually gives out his number to support people. He rarely gets a mention yet he's always there for everyone.

When I think of more I'll add them...

Yes Slim, he does. But he also has a business selling refurbished gaming stuff, too. He can't just live off the channel because he doesn't have bucket loads of patron's like a certain fella.

Oscar's Butt Plugs

by peacefulpete in

i'm actually embarrassed to say i watched the everything everywhere all at once movie on a plane.

kung fu with butt plugs and dildoes with a storyline impossible to follow.

i can't believe michelle yeoh agreed to it.
