  They would miss having the right to perform weddings, I imagine...?

  I doubt it. This is how it used to be in the UK years ago. The wedding was conducted at the KH and then the couple went to the Registrar's Office for the legal part, or as often happened at our KH, the Registrar came along to the KH, sat through the service and then did the signing of the register. We always had the same Registrar, she was a very pleasant lady and attended many JW marriages. She appears on many of our KH wedding photos, the only thing she insisted was that the register was covered for the photos.

  whatever happened to the Rwanda option?
  

  That was a crazy idea from the outset. These illegal immigrants arriving on our shores should be met by the Royal Navy on approaching British waters and turned around and sent South back to France. France is not a war torn country, they are perfectly safe there. France is doing all it can to expedite their travel to the UK. Each of these half million we have inherited this year is just one less problem for France. As Anne Widdicombe said "France is not our friend and never has been!"

  ONS reported we have over 500,000 illegal immigrants here this year in the UK.

  Who would have ever thought this would have an effect on hospital waiting lists, dentist availability, ambulance response times, crime levels........

  Probably only relevant to the UK, you cannot buy Premium Bonds.

  In a previous congregation there was quite a dispute over this and the elders had someone write to HQ for clarification. The answer came back that Premium Bonds are not for "Christians" because, although the capital cannot be lost you are gambling with the interest on the bonds.

  For an organisation that has probably lost millions of donated funds in poor investments that sounds like double standards to me.

  The length of a public talk

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone ever wonder the good they could have done instead of giving a public talk for 45 or 30 minutes?

  i remember giving my first public talk aged 18 and even then i was thinking ' this is just me making up half truths trying to blind people with jw propaganda'.

  fast forward 15 years to when i gave my final public talk and i was so close to seeding the 30 minutes with ideas that could possibly wake people up but i never had the guts.. in that 30 minutes i could have done so much real good for a person instead of spreading this awful religions dogma.

  My first Public Talk, back in the 1960's was the full length version. It was about the flood and I actually believed it then. The audience clapped at the end, mainly relief that it was over rather than appreciation for the delivery I'm sure.

  I do not remember anyone going out for a fag after the talk, we all had a cup of tea and then got on with the WT.

  I don't think many in our congregation could manage an hour's talk, I certainly could not imagine listening to any of our lot for that length of time.

  One slightly good thought, you were able to count an hour on your service report for giving the talk.

  I have no idea what the earth will be like in 500 years or even 50 years but I dread to think of what England will be like then. The only good thing about being as old as I am is that I will not live to see it.

  We are being taken over by uncontrolled immigration at a time when all our resources are stretched to the limit and beyond. We cannot watch a TV programme or even look at advertisements without thinking that the UK is a predominantly black country, not the 3-4% black as it really is.

  Politicians, of all parties, have shown themselves to be just a bunch of traitors.

  Are you convinced what the Gospels say about Jesus is true?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  probably, the greatest advocacy for the gospels is the jw publication: the greatest man that ever lived.

  it convinced me.. everything else that the bible says about the resurrection and eternal life logically follows.. the testimony of a “witness” in court matters only if it is observation not commentary ( expert witness is also commentary): what did you see, what did you hear, what is the magnitude of your measurement.

  not, are you convinced; that is only belief.

  I don't actually believe any of the miracles that supposedly took place.

  The same is also true of the OT miracles, talking donkey, resurrections, she bears on hand to deal with delinquent kids etc etc.

  What decade or era in human history do you like the most or would have liked to live during?

  by Fisherman in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  in the us, the 60s and 70s was a great time to be alive except for getting drafted if you wanted to be that age.

  they were music years,  greatest movies, fun, simpler and enjoyable days—also except for the d&ugs.

  An old sister in our congregation some years ago was moaning about all the problems Satan had caused since arriving on earth in 1914. I asked her if she would have preferred to have lived 100 years previously so she would have never seen 1914. She was not amused!
