chapter 31. murder suicide and death at the big house.
the people at bethel were killing us spiritually and sometimes they killed us physically too.. many of the old timers were in the infirmary laying there just waiting to die of natural causes.
some had served there for over fifty years.
That poor sweet child. Nineteen. Serving his GOD. I imagine going awol must have been a huge deal....surely they could see he must have been desperate. GOD help his parents if they ever woke up, which is doubtful.
I wonder if Wheelock felt remorse about his colleague who was stabbed in his place? Or if he just woke up?
i went into my mother's office to leave her a small note to say that we love and miss her and would love to get together.
i found this on her desk.
this is jehovah's witnesses.
Just want to say I tried to like StephaneLaLiberte 's post, but couldn't.
It's not insane it's brilliant.
there was an explosion on a london tube train at parsons green station at 8:20 bst this morning.. there are pictures online of a plastic bucket that seems to be the source.
witnesses are reporting seeing a large wall of flames coming through a packed train carriage.
people are now being taken to ambulances with significant burns..
I was there yesterday...taking my young son for an appointment at Great Ormond street hospital. It's terrifying if you live in London or there abouts and rely on public transport.
i was told this when i was an aspiring jw, aka unbaptized publisher.
the above explanation didn't make sense to me then and it never did make sense throughout my jw career.
over time, it appeared to me the real purpose of field service time reporting was to gauge one's spirituality and for the ceo *cough* co to make sure the elders were on top of things during his visit..
I have no problem with a works based form of Christianity. But if JWism is a works based form, why not record the works you do....visiting the sick, doing chores for the elderly, donating to a food bank for the poor.
Why?
Because none of that helps the finances of the Watchtower babble and CRAP Society.

They always talk about blood having to be "poured out on the ground" and the blood of Jesus being "poured out as a sin offering" on behalf of mankind.
But Jesus blood was never literally poured out, and the blood poured out as a sin offering was never intended for Christians to do.
Most of all, as has been noted, David and his men ate meat with the blood in extremis, because the symbol is less important than the life itself.
due to watchtower flagging the mike & kim videos on youtube for copyright, youtube is giving them 6 days before they are shutting down their entire youtube channel.
can you help with a mass downloading program and then reuploading them on a mirror ?
would hate to lose all those good videos!
Hi apparently they have 6 days to get out of town.
Redvip2000 I know what you mean, they can be a bit melodramatic. But they kinda grow on you. And we have to fight watchtower with whatever talents we have. They have comedy!!!
in natural calamities, everyone (despite one’s faith) is affected.
when one denies god’s existence, he experiences no punishment from him.
when one worships him, he receives no special favor from him.
Although when we say the scriptures of the ancients misrepresent him, are we not doing exACTly what they did and creating a God that fits the image of what we expect of him?

Venus that was beautiful - I really, really enjoyed reading it. I particularly loved your comparison of Watchtowers egotistical belief that they are the chosen with the same nonsense a Semitic tent swelling nomadic tribe felt ( ironically jws would secretly gloat at that comparison whilst feeling offended at the same time!)

.vienne But it was also pirated and made a torrent download. Every free download cost me money.
Yes, my husband had a lot of material released on a compilation album that went straight to number one in the American Indie charts. Without an expensive lawyer he had no recource. Only found out when a friend bought the album in an independent music store. Few years ago now , but it's been going on long before the days of torrents😡

The thing about Mike and Kim, whatever you say about them, they sure are entertaining!!
I honestly think, with the right guidance, they have the potential to make it BIG!
Seriously, Mr. Angry and Mrs. Endearing...good mixture for the masses...
I like things a little more high brow myself. Susan Gaskin's my girl!!
And Katy Kitten of course!
