Usually best to introduce yourself on a first post. Tell us a little about your current JW situation etc. Otherwise people may think you are a troll as evidenced by several that have come and gone over the years.

TRICKY WORDS and why not to use them

by Terry in

jw
friends

tricky words .

perfectly good words go unused in writing and speaking.

their meaning isn't clear and the eye is 'tricked' by similarity to other words or sounds.. .

St George of England

I like the word FACETIOUS. It uses all the vowels and they are in alphabetical order. It's the only word I know like that. Any others?

I`m astounded by this number ,what`s your thoughts ? definite benefits for sure ,but what of the future ?

by 2020, 114 launches carried around 1,300 satellites to space, surpassing the 1,000 new satellites per year mark for the first time.

but no year in the past compares to 2021. as of sept. 16, roughly 1,400 new satellites have already begun circling the earth, and that will only increase as the year goes on.

just this month, spacex deployed another 51 starlink satellites into orbit.. right now, there are nearly 6,000 satellites circling our tiny planet.

St George of England

Right now, there are nearly 6,000 satellites circling our tiny planet. About 60% of those are defunct satellites—space junk—and roughly 40% are operational.

"Global networks track nearly 30,000 pieces of space junk as they journey around Earth, from defunct satellites to rocket stages. However, there's far more debris that's too small to be tracked but is big enough to threaten satellites or astronauts on board spacecraft". - Six ways shoebox-sized satellites are trying to change the world - BBC News

Shoe Box satellites are being launched at an incredible rate, many fail and just add to the junk floating around the earth. Nothing will be done until there is a disaster of course.

Did you at one time Believe-that you were not going to die. Does your still in JW spouse still believe?

by pistolpete in

this magazine says it all!.

and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.

which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.

"Give me the boy until he is seven and I will give you the man." Brain washing and indoctrination.

I was born in, 1940's, never to go to school in this old system. Well I did go to school, I received my Coronation Bible, left school, married a pioneer...... we both believed we would never die.

Now we are old, I am ill and know I really will die in the not too distant future. I have only really understood this fact since I found this site some 15 years or so ago. All the people I know that are non-JW's have understood this all their life of course, they know they will die and accept it. However, it's a bit like some of my shares, they are not doing too well, but I wouldn't get enough from them if I sold them, to make it worth while. That's why I just keep going with Sis England.

2021 Annual Meeting Talk, "I Will Never Abandon You"

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

this 19 minute talk by “governing body” member samuel herd lacks enthusiasm, energy and mostly reads his script.

looks like he was forced to talk about something he no longer believes, but goes along what was written to appease the rest of the ''governing body.''.

mr. herd says, ''sometimes we have to make adjustments.

St George of England

Have you noticed that he appears more and more rarely in videos or programs on jw org

Probably more to do with his age and failing health. He has suffered from diabetes for many years.

Do you have a link to the AGM and this talk please.

George

Edit:- OK I have just found Lloyd Evans videos. Part 1 of 4 lasts over 2 hours and I think that would be worse than listening to the actual AGM. In fact with 4 parts it may be quicker to wait until January.
