I thought an RV was a return visit. I had to look it up!
I don't think we use the term Recreational Vehicle in the UK, we call them Motorhomes or Caravettes.

@wozza - Just imagine if you still had that bike now, what it would be worth. I know, I think that about every bike and some of the cars I have owned over the years.

I think the original quote above is probably from the Oct/Nov 2011 WT which was a two part discussion "proving" 607 BCE. As I recall it was written by Rolf Furuli whose academic work has long been discredited.
A couple of years ago he saw through the GB and wrote a book exposing them for which he was disfellowshipped.
There is a YouTube video that shows how to calculate Jerusalem's destruction was 586/7 using only WT sources.

Did you think this was it for the Watchtower-(Covid)- Well-They are coming back with even greater ZEAL!
by pistolpete inso you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .
https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.
and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.

Who made the announcement above? The latest GB Update #4 didn't give that impression at all. It said that Bethelites had received the vaccination but it was a personal matter. Over 17,000 JW's have died of the virus. No mention of normal activities.

Languages, Dialects, Accents
by LoveUniHateExams injust though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.

The only Arabic words I know are "shufti" and "bint". Both words were in common use when I was at school.
My FIL used to say that when he was in North Africa during the war, kids would would try to sell the soldiers photos of naked women. They would show a couple of cards and say shufti bint (look at the girl) but when they had the soldier's money and they handed him an envelope of photos they only contained photos of local sights, pyramids etc.

I know an elder who is very much into this kind of thing. He is a regular visitor to RAF Scampton where the 617 Squadron (Dambusters) museum is located. He attends all the air shows he can manage as he is very old now. I don't know if he was in the RAF when he was younger, he became a witness in the 1950's. Actually a very nice guy.

I doubt that many of these "experiences" are genuine. I suspect the majority are made up to fit the current article agenda.

Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?
by pistolpete inare you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.
thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.
the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

I think most of them would really struggle in the "real world". Few of them are well qualified to find well paid employment, so it would be low paid jobs. Trying to find affordable accommodation, paying the utility bills, running a car and then getting ready and travelling to the KH for the meeting.
They have none of these problems, they never have to wonder if they can afford to have the heating on, save up for travel and accommodation for assemblies......
The list goes on.
They would have to be desperate to give up what they currently have whatever they believe deep down.
