the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 37. rely on jehovah, as samson did.
4 consider an example of samson’s trust in jehovah and of the support that god supplied.
on one occasion, a philistine military force had come to capture samson at lehi, evidently in judah.
There is also the crazy story in Judges 15 where Samson caught 300 foxes, tied them in pairs by their tails and then set light to them. They then ran into the Philistines crops and burned them. Aside from being a barbaric act it is simply impossible, unless of course God did it. In which case he is a barbarian.
Talking snakes, talking donkeys, how can I have ever believed any of this twaddle?

any opinions are just speculation, but my guess, being morbid, is that there was not a hull breach and implosion (although that would have been the most merciful fate for them), but instead the amateur level of building this thing meant that it lost power and communication and got itself tangled in the titanic's wreckage or is sitting on the actual seabed with no way to release ballast to resurface.
terrifying.
what's your gut feeling?
I can't imagine what it will be like down there just waiting.
I don't suppose they have coffee machines and flushing loos in a craft such as that!

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Grant Suiter had a fall in his room, died 6 months later 22 Nov 1983.

I believe N H Knorr also lived in a specially equipped room for about 6 months and was cared for 24/7 due to brain cancer.

a good question is would you be more happy not knowing what you now know?.
were you more happy pimi?
are all the pimis more happy than the the pimos or the pomos?.
I was raised as a JW and never really thought much about it until I was about 60ish. Then, for some reason the doubts began to become major issues. I had put so much on the 'back burner' over those years.
I think the reason I had not really thought much about religion, I went to school, uni, got married (JW pioneer) and then devoted all my energies to my career. I just bumbled along in the truth. Once I was mostly retired I had time to think and research. Finding this site was a life changer. However, all my family and my wife's family were uber-JW's so I guess I just became a PIMO.
I wish I had found the truth about the truth 50 or 60 years ago. I would have had different life but not necessarily happier. Still as happy with Sis England as when we first met.

a pioneer sister, from a neighboring congregation, told us back in 1972, the visiting co, carey w. barber was working their territory and went in to ali's training camp.
ali was working out in the ring while barber preached to him.
the 'campaign' was the peace and security book.. .
Ali was represented by JW lawyer Hayden Covington when Ali was called up for National Service (draft). Covington lost the case and it was rumoured that he was actually disfellowshipped for his connection with Ali, not for his boozing as was circulated at the time.

i listen to six screens and have seen gg for gb and must say he has my vote.
i'm sure here in italy the ex jw community would vote for him.
.
Never heard of him or seen anything of him.

i read a news article that scientists have made from stem cells a human embryo.
poor soul..
you still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.
elders and ministerial servants have their kingdom ministry school every year, the cobe of every congregation has to check that everyone is fully vaccinated.
after the school everyone will ask any bothers who were not there why not?
You still have to be fully vaccinated to attend any theocratic schools.
Great idea! This should be extended to Regional Conventions, Circuit Assemblies, Weekly Meetings, D2D and Shepherding visits.

Today is 6/9 (june 9) box dates are (Nov 6 ) 9/6
I still don't understand. Today is June 9 or 6/9 as you would call it.
However, I thought November was the 11th month so why do you put (Nov 6) 9/6 and not 11/6?
