when I was a kid dont let me be misunderstood really felt like my theme tune looking back i now realise thats probably because i hit every marker for female ADHD. But I also would love Victoria by the Kinks played at my funeral....the words once rang true and if i have my way it will again (me and Elon lol) for my kids which is why im getting involved in politics. Also Sia Chandelier really sums me up and rings my bells

Jensus It seems to be automatically translated to German. Wording and form of adress is not coherent with standard JW style
Funny how that is so completely apparent to a JW or EX etc. I wonder if it would be possible to do a AI translation JW prompt. "What do you do for a living mate?" "Oh me? I'm a cutl Prompt engineer" -

Age Appropriate Friends
by Riley inwe have a 25 year guy in our hall who is also a pioneer (which means he lives off his parents money), who likes to spend a lot of time with a 16 year old girl in the hall.
it is usually in a group setting but he seems to gravitate toward her.
he even has her auxilary pioneering , which is something i don't think any student trying to make the grades needs.

Jan from TamThey brought in that new UK law making marriage illegal until 18 because muslim girls were being forced to wed abroad by their famillies against their will. The problem was that these girls being 16 were still minors and as such in their parents care so they could insist the girl go abroad and then once there were forced to wed. Hence they changed the legal age of marriage to 18 so the girls could leave home if they suspected they were going to be forced to wed and at 16 made such a marriage illegal (and no use to the groom since the wedding is to obtain citizenship for him and that would be null and void).
Sadly that law affects western girls in your position Jan. I do think the legal age of consent should be 18 (with a Romeo and Juliette 16 to under 21 clause in place)

SBF Very interesting! It looks like their best growth for years.
I think it makes sense given the world at the moment, wars in the middle east and the (sorry cant get rid of this silly face) Ukraine etc make people nervous, theres lots of talk in the media about "WW3" etc together with inflation and food prices etc. It figures that end times religions like JWs are going to take advantaage of anxiety around this kind of thing. Not to mention crime and the horrific terror attacks we read about in the news, too, these days.

My story of becoming a circuit overseer after Kin Suen visited our congregation.
by ExCircuitOverseer inhere is my story of becoming a missionary after having kin suen (pronounced “shin”) as my circuit overseer.
my father wanted me to go to college, but since he wasn’t a witness, i knew he just didn’t understand how close we were to the end.
i had actually become a circuit overseer!

Well, I'm so glad you found happiness with your wife and children. When all's said and done no matter how successful we are as professionals, or in business, it's really our family - our kids - that bring us the most joy. I feel for those that sacrifice everything, never getting that opportunity for the sake of a cult. I know it's not for absolutely everyone & many people lead full & happy lives never marrying or having kids....indeed prefer it. But for most of us "normies" it's the pinnacle of happiness, when we look back on life so I'm glad they didn't rob you of that :)

A mosque? When I was a JW the very thought that a building dedicated to Jehovah would be sold to "Babylon" would be unthinkable.
By the way Isn't that near Stockport?? That lad that stabbed those children was radicalised around there.
