Meanwhile they want us to buy battery powered cars. Exactly how is that supposed to work without the ability to charge them?
Meanwhile the UK government has just announced that electric car grants have been scrapped with immediate effect.

Groan. They'll be washing down the carts and raring to go!

wow.
this story is so stunningly sad.
the good guy finishes last, as he has a crisis of conscience and ends up leaving behind four kids.
Very sad indeed. Reminded me of Oompah.

more than 60 percent of our full-time translation teams work, not at branch offices, but at remote translation offices (rto).
why is this arrangement beneficial?
what equipment do translators need in order to work effectively at an rto?
The Anglesey property was sold many years ago. I always wondered how they justified buying the place.

saw this while browsing the jw site.
cartoons of rutherford.
😆 .
A very strange video. The GB drawings were really caricatures, I'm surprised they allowed that. Rutherford, Lett and Knorr were also obvious but I think someone on here could probably put names and events to many of the others.

the r&f jw's are defined by the wtbts as antitypical "foreigners," and as such, are not participants of the new covenant:.
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par.
6 - "further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the law covenant.
Clearly, the Bible needs to be corrected on this point.

In 1897 someone wrote to Russell to ask how the system could continue for another 17 years as things were so bad. His reply was that 1914 was not the end but the beginning, by then Armageddon would all be over and everything restored to perfection and the Holy Ones would be home in heaven.

how do jws resolve these conflicting facts.. 1. no matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to circa 4000 bc for adam's creation.
i followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.. 2. the most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that.
it's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance.
Both the Creation account (4026 BCE), Adam & Eve etc, and the Flood, are allegorical tales that were handed down by word of mouth over millennia. The fact that Jesus, if indeed he existed, spoke about these events is purely for the reason that ordinary people would be familiar with them and understood the meaning he was putting to them.
Personally I do not believe Jesus was in heaven at any time or had any part in creation. These days I am an atheist. In fact it was research into the flood story and subsequently creation and then 607.... and the pack of cards just crumbled.
There is so much evidence for humans thousands of years before the so called creation account that even uber-JW Sis England no longer argues against it.

what do you guys think....the topic seems to being on fashion lately.
some in the borg told me one time "of course, they are for real, they could be angels, demons".. .
Is there intelligent life in outer space?
The fact that they've never made contact with us sure seems likely.
