If you care more about your relationship with your family then...

Tell your partner to go fudge! You don't need that crap in your life!

Disfellowshipped

by Pinky in

how long is one disfellowshipped for committing adultery?.

oppostate

Depends on the "committing."

The more the "committing" the more it will probably take to get reinstated.

But, hey, who are we kidding, it just depends on how chummy you are with the three hounders that sat you down and kicked you out.

Prayer BANNED for Public Talks in KH's...

by The Fall Guy in

........back in 1949!.

w50 3/15 p. 96 letters - "jesus held many public lectures, but there is no record that he opened or closed any of them with prayer....surely those of the public who are not of the christian faith do not turn out to our meetings in order to join with us in prayer to our god, but solely to hear the speech which is the drawing feature.

so we give them that and do not think to impose upon them by attaching something else to the lecture which might offend or stumble them before they hear the speech they came for.

Right! Can't very well be giving folks a reason to think it's a religious cult, what with the "Religion is a snare and a racket!" propaganda, they'd be likely to not put any donation money in the contribution box.

In Mexico they not only didn't say prayer, they had no Kingdom Songs, nor use the Bible! And all for the sake of the 0rg's worldly possessions, the love of filthy lucre, and their real estate holdings.

The WT Oligarchs are nothing but a bunch of filthy lucre loving hypocrites.

western suburbs area.. 1. re hearing negative reports in the media about jws.

Wow! And by U.S.A. standards, that the WT only expects that small amount per head is quite low, some Circuits here are twice that, in my experience (in New England)!

I Am Still Here! Another Birthday look back at one helluva lifetime

by TerryWalstrom in

when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.the world of 1947--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.

everywhere you found telephone booths!

a call was a nickel.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.

Happy birthday, Terry!

What Are Your Rights?

by Simon in

rights seem to be everywhere nowadays.

say hello to someone in the wrong way and you've violated 101 of their human rights.

people imagine they have the right to all sorts of things - food, healthcare, housing, internet ... so many things are labelled basic rights and then you get onto their human rights - a favourite of the do-nothing bodies such as the un to declare.

Discontinue unproductive bible study - jw broadcasting

https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-ism_2_video.

interesting video explaining how to end a bible study.. watch the kind of uber behaviour of the witnesses: make a choice or we leave.... so hard, so not christian.

no love for the person.. g..

oppostate

People who just study and make no progress are a dead weight to the b0rg.

Publishers love to count hours visiting with a non-productive study because it racks up easy service hours and it is a gift that keeps on giving on the monthly service reports.

The b0rg hates it because those studies are not going to add to the publisher ranks of donation contributors.
