  No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!

  this is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!

  reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

  Reporting hours has long been one of two levers the cult has used to manipulate its members - shunning obviously being the other. There is no way they have made this move voluntarily. This must be a result of the need to minimise legal exposure. It might have the effect of reducing the urgency PIMO members feel to get out.

  1974 and all that

  i came across this footage recently whilst searching for something completely unrelated and it blew me away!.

  it's from the august 1974 convention at murrayfield, edinburgh and you can clearly see the stage set up still keeping the 6000 years and 1975 mantra going.. what makes this very personal for me is that i was here.

  Thanks for posting that. I was there too. Travelling back and forward to Airdrie each evening. The dramas were the highlights of the convention for the children. At least there was something to look at instead of the trains, the steam from the brewery and the planes heading for Turnhouse.

  Riley - Four facts to consider that are now beyond doubt ...

  1 - Covid presented zero significant risk to a very large percentage of the population

  2 - The vaccines did nothing to prevent transmission

  3 - The mRNA vaccine has resulted in deaths an injuries in people who were otherwise fit and healthy

  4 - The government lies to us repeatedly about the dangers of covid and about the vaccines.

  are we living in the prophetic last days that will climax into armageddon?

  EP - You are reading thing back into the gospels that cannot be honestly read out of them.

  Jesus was a failed apocalyptic prophet. He started as a disciple of John the Baptist and went on to develop his own following. Just like every failed prophecy since, his followers found new ways to interpret his prognostications in order to maintain their beliefs.

  He absolutely did drag men away from their wives and families to preach his deluded ravings. 'We have left wives etc etc for you'. He was a dangerous egomaniac but probably sincere.

  EP - It is undeniable that Jesus was just another 1st C. apocalyptic preacher - one of many, many others.

  He chose to be baptised by an apocalyptic prophet and after his death his small band of disciples continued ot preach an apocalyptic message.

  He told his disciples to abandon their wives, families and businesses and literally FOLLOW him preaching the imminent end of all things.

  If you can't see that then you have clearly never read the gospels.

  The Covid vaccines - experimental mRNA gene therapy - are the biggest fraud in medical history.
