Furthermore....our Battle of Britain pilots, like my two great uncles, saved our asses in the UK during WW2 (well and Hitler's refusal to press home his advantage at Dunkirk).
Edit: apologies for derailment Jan from Tam, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all!

By the way, should it not be obvious to the most green of psychologists, your sgt. Audie Murphy was almost certainly, like many if his kind, someone with the dark triad of developmental disorders....namely psychopathy, narcissism and sociopathy.
Very useful in war, no doubt. In peace time he likely would have ended up one of your school shooters.

As it should be, to the enemy. Your culture wouldn't exist without mine.
Oh, hell no. Coming in at the last minute and kick starting your whole economy.
That is utterly laughable. Try telling that to the 8.7 million Russian combat soldiers (not including the 19 million civilians), by the way.
Killing doves....what a wonderful way to spend your life.
That Is one of THE main issues I have against the Bible. That it teaches adherents to place such little value on animal life and arrogantly think, like the foolish MONKEYS they are, that they have the god given right to take animal life at will.
*And if you think your pop guns will stop your government should it turn on you, you're having a laugh.

The Ipsilon Media comp. has now his new adress in Zagreb ...Come on ! the court have his new adress . Unless he said that was his business adress and oops forget to tell the court he also lives there?
Also as an FYI Ipsilon media - despite Lloyds claims to his patron's and subbies that he's wound it up - appears to be very much still "active". At least as of Dec1st, anyway, and as far as I can find evidence of it's status online.

What is worse: 1914 or Beard change
by Gorb inwhat is worse for jw's: changing the 1914 doctrine or allowing beards without the right to say what their opinion is?.
g..

Nico. Don't assume doctrine is important to any but a few remaining diehard elderly JW's, it isn't. Everything is up for grabs, there are no sacred cows and nothing matters but the money.
Make it nice and easy (and dumb) and perhaps the congregations will last and keep contributing.
I agree with you, Nic......except....if they changed 1914 it would give every Single Pimo, PimQ, and elder-doing-it-for-the-wife-but-too-scared-to-think the exact reason they need to get up and walk out without looking like satan himself and risk loosing his/their families.
Thoughts?

Where is Tony?
by Athanasius inon february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.
a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.
in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

People have said many times if it were an innocent health reason why wouldn't they announce it? However, as DropoffyourkeyLee pointed out, he would be entitled to veterans benefits. Since we know how appalling tight watchtower is (they've refused to pay Bethelites medical fees before, sending sick ones home to avoid doing so) it's conceivable he left to be treated at a veterans hospital if the treatment looked to be expensive - such as chemo etc.
It's doubtful they'd announce that outcome!

Jehovah's Witness Governing Body, (New Light Division) Are Vegetable Oils not more important than Beards?
by was a new boy in'use vegetable oil and soft margarine in place of animal fat,'.
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101997444?q=vegetable+oil&p=par.
'when possible, cook with unsaturated vegetable oils.'.

I cook with tallow animal fat and would never ever consume margarine that Jehovah recommended fuck your margarine directions Jehovah
😂Ha ha my old granny always called margarine "axle grease" & I didn't understand why. I found out some years after her death that the WW2 generation, during rationing, had to start eating it, but that prior to that it was literally used to oil the wheels of cars....never used for human consumption!
