what are your memories of hall cleaning?.
i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.
the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.
I was always assigned to lawn care, so it was a thrill driving a ride-on lawn mower and 15/16 years old. After the clean, we would all go to Pizza Hut (back when Pizza Hut had that buffet and personal pan pizzas served on the skillet pan thing),
Nice! ;)
these days i seem to talk more to chatgpt than my husband .
for fun, today i asked: why was the aug. 2024 watchtower deleted?
the august 2024 issue of the "watchtower" magazine was withdrawn due to internal controversies and significant content concerns.
Or....is Mark Saunderson - finally - going to come out?⛅🥳😸🌈
on 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.
SilentBuddha I would appear to be some kind of stalker, and I’m definitely not. It’s just that I happen to go by his neighborhood on the way to a tractor supply that’s near him
Very understandable you wouldn't want to cause him any distress. But the truth is I bet a lot of people who know him are concerned about his mental health. I mean the folks in his congregation know Toni has always been a true believer, if nothing else. So either he'll be absolutely devastated because he believes the religion he is devoted to has completely lost God's holy spirit. Or he will believe that he is absolutely deplorable in the sight of God - if not utterly wicked - to have to be removed from the GB. Either way he must be in a very vulnerable state. I could totally understand if someone who knew him would check up on him (not saying you of course).
i noticed awhile ago jw.org was first; now jwn is back being first.
what determines that?.
😳I get "Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"🤡 - then I noticed it's sponsored.
So the first is JW dot org
Second is Wikipedia
Third is Encyclopedia Britannica
Fourth is a piece by the BBC ....no JWdotnet on the first page ☹️Looks like WE'VE dropped the ball!😴
"hamburg police shoot man with axe ahead of euros match.

why don't german police just use guns?.
Here's one I found this morning. The elderly woman was knocked out by two men in a road rage fight. Two policeman were nearby. It's written as if it was thactualthe police knocked her out. This was in The Independent - a British broadsheet newspaper.
The concept of a statute of limitations for serious crimes such as sexual or violent offences, amazes me.
I couldn't agree more Journeyman.
today is eid al-adha :.
"may peace, safety, and happiness be bestowed upon you.
".
Oh gawd Resolute Bandicoot I thought that was The Bataclan or somewhere at first 🙀

Nicolaou You kill me 😂😂👍
(It's clearly because Robert Hendrix has dropped the ball this week. Hasn't he run off with some journalist? If he hasn't he should)

What do you expect, it's the BEEB.
More concerned with inclusion, pronouns and other left wing twaddle.In recent years I've been absolutely gob smacked at the standard of work (grammar etc)produced by editorial writers, not just the BBC but at almost all the established agencies we are used to getting our news from in the UK. Especially the Broadsheets. At first I assumed they were Eastern 'content farms' or whatever. Or A.I. generated....but no! These shameless imposters who generally begin their bio's by "AS A ...(insert identity here: "Trans, left handed wombat of colour" or whatever) actually put their NAME to their "work". Then proceed to hector us on the definite understanding we have ZERO right of reply 🙄
just curious but how do the people off this forum find reddit.
for myself i find reddit to be sadly lacking in the jw world.
i just don't find the depth there e.g one sentence replies, trying to be funny.
In the early days I enjoyed exJW Reddit - less than 2,000 when i joined.
Now like the rest of Reddit it's run by PC robots. I was recently banned from one Exjw sub (not the main one).
A 16 year old girl made a post asking to DM other girls about their experience of growing up JW when questioning whether you may be attracted to the same sex. First response this middle aged (I know because he posts loads of pics) trans woman (biological male), STILL MARRIED to the same biological woman he married as a JW ministerial servant. (So straight, in other words, but claiming to be a lesbian) and here's the kicker POLYAMOROUS too. So for those out of the loop, that's someone who has sex with more than one person on the go.
So....At best a straight biological male was claiming he understood what it was like to be a JW teen girl, growing up thinking you may be same sex attracted, with all that entails - which wasn't true.
At worse a middle aged, married male who desires multiple partners was trying to get into private conversations with a minor on sexual subjects - not appropriate at all and I told him her question had nothing to do with him.
But he was A- ok by the mods, apparently. Who banned me from the sub, reported me to Reddit and got me a "hate speech" strike.
