LHG , landlines are liked by small businesses and some seniors and others who want things simple or have physical limitations and can’t handle a smart phone
There's definitely a 'trust' element to small business having a landline number. Maybe I'm old fashioned.

So yesterday my mobile stopped working properly. If someone called me I could hear them, but they couldn't hear me. Queue lots of frustration and the odd comedic moment.
However my vulnerable neighbour required my help with a drain flooding, herself being stuck in the house and lots of dirty water blocking her exit. Repairman called me as they had been given my contact details and of course couldn't hear me (naturally won't attend if they can't make contact with you). My landline makes an awful background noise - but I do have one thank goodness - and I had to use it. It wasn't a 999 kind of emergency, but it was very, very important and myself and more importantly my neighbour would have been rather stuffed without it. (Ok I know land lines can bugger up but they are less likely to do so. They also don't get lost or get nicked).
So what I'm saying is that I don't think we should be quite so fast to jettison landlines 🤔😬
we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.
they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?
) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.
Journeyman I always found this somewhat arrogant - to believe that you and your generation are the one that will see "the end", that your generation specifically will not have to see death (whether that be due to 'rapture' to heaven or transfer into an early paradise) despite all the billions before you who have gone to the grave.
That's the word... arrogance. I'm sure Christians don't have the monopoly on this sort of thing, but relating to them specifically (being the group Im familiar with) I would have thought Christ's injunction to show humility & patience, would at least give them pause....?!
Slim Isaac Newton, who was extremely into his Bible prophecy, apparently predicted the end for 2060, or, to put it more precisely, that 2060 was the latest date it could possibly be. If I recall correctly, this date was arrived at by adding 1260 day/years from Revelation to the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 AD.
Wow!! Fascinating. Well one thing about Issac Newton, no one can say he didn't break the mould! I certainly wouldn't be very willing to dismiss anything he said too lightly... 🤔😬
original reddit post (removed).
Just to be fair and balanced, and I was surprised to learn this, Croatia follows the US in the date for mothers day.
I'm surprised, too. Maybe it wasn't originally a thing in Croatia?Lloyd, if you're reading I apologize and take it back.
It was mother's day - but you're still a lousy husband.
does anyone know "pete" personally, or have a way of contacting him ?
he has not posted for about a month now.
i just want to know he is o.k..
if you're reading this Pete I apologize if I upset you in any way that is the very last thing I want to do. My opinions are not worth loosing you over. Please please I won't ever bring up the subject again I promise. 😥
You know my feelings on it so if you bring up the subject in another thread I won't respond. Ok?

Me too.I was just thinking the same and went looking for him.... 👣🗣️🗣️👀📢🔍
. I think he's probably physically fine tbh. It's more likely he's left because of TERFy views like mine - others supporting me.,😔 I sent him a DM with some information from a gay man called Edi Jester who runs an organization called "Warrior Teachers". I only spoke kindly and with empathy.. I tried to explain my views don't come from a place of bigotry, but that women have genuine safeguarding concerns around males in specific female spaces and that it's our sexed bodies that make us vulnerable. Not some ethereal concept of 'gender' I also spoke about our bodies being who we are and that I don't believe in a sexed soul. I'm sure he feels ganged up on somewhat . Perhaps he feels our views are somehow a reproach on his nephew, whom he loves very much and is by all reports a lovely young person.

Uncle PunkyIt always amuses me how there is a propensity to see the 'end time' as relevant to our lifetime.
This^^^^
I've yet to find anyone start a religious group and claim to have insight that A, B or C is going to happen, which is super important because it will be the precursor to The End™ happening, but that it will occur at any other time but the one in which the author is living.
i will tell you the truth because i do not tell lies and am always honest.
in may 2006 i was diagnosed with bipolar.
my wife separated from me against my will.
Blues BroShe came to us in tears after the hearing having been d/f’d . We helped her draft an appeal letter and upshot was that the 2nd committee reversed the decision.
You're a good man Blues ❤️

Fedupdub ;)You will NEVER be reinstated as long as you wear western clothing. That shows you are "rebellious" as you dress different that anyone else in this congregation."
So... Um.... It seems that some traditional clothing special to a culture is acceptable to Watchtower, yet others are not!!! 🤔🤦🏻♀️ Talk about a millstone. Those pharisees sicken me to my stomach!
NB pure jealousy if you ask me

No the elders didn't say they were never going to reinstate me. They said they were not going to reinstate after I had been going to the Kingdom Hall for 6 months or so.
Oh sorry Holy Grail I don't know where I got the 'never' from?!! Brain fog I think 🤦🏻♀️
