  perhaps we could post the pictures the wt have presented in their literature that depict their version of paradise here for comment/discussion:.

  from: spirits of the dead​—can they help you or harm you?

  do they really exist?.

  Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  i didn’t get the covid vaccine, but i admit, i was scared as shit i made the wrong decision because there was so much confusion out there.

  practically all my family and most of my friends took the vaccine because everyone was depending on those in charge to speak the truth.

  now a lot of them are sick, and they can't figure out why.

  I've had all the vaccinations and all the follow up "boosters". I have never had Covid but whether I would have without the vaccinations is something we will never know.

  One thing I do know though is that a lot in my congregation have had/still have Covid and there have been three deaths from it. I still (always have) maintained a distance from people, not into hugging and kissing (Sis England excepted!)

  in del rio texas, the border patrol can't hold back the invasion of illegal migrants anymore.

  they have asked the biden administration for help, but they refused.

  harris has promised to give all illegal migrants citizenship if she is becomes president.

  We have just the same problem here in the UK. Years of incompetent government has allowed this to happen and now we have Keir Starmer and his mates so the situation will get worse.

  It costs around £8M per day to house these illegals, meanwhile Winter Fuel Payments for pensioners has been taken away for the majority of OAP's and energy costs are due to rise this autumn despite Labour promising not to raise energy costs in their manifesto.

  not just jw's, but countless others (evangelicals etc.

  ) are claiming that we're in the "last days.".

  Just like "we will never change disfellowship rules".

  And here we are just over a year later, the rules have changed and the guy that said that quote, (AMIII) has gone.

  Who would have thought it? Probably only an accountant!

  Would you be able to survive a three day Assembly?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the last assembly i attended was over 10 years ago.

  the monotone speakers, boring talks, uncomfortable seats, long prayers and nodding off after the lunch break did me in.

  i survived the morning sessions, but the afternoon sessions were brutal.

  Three days? Not any more, though I am so old I remember 7 and 8 day events. How did we manage that? Traveling back to our accommodation late at night and back again first thing in the morning. As BB above said it was dark when we were trying to read our song books at the end of the day.

  As I got into my teens we tended to camp, Edinburgh or Twickenham mostly. Chatting up the girls was the best thing to look forward to. I still play Van Morrison "Brown Eyed Girl" quite regularly. Making love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you, my Brown Eyed Girl. His mother tried to raise him as a witness without any success, He also made a track called "Kingdom Hall".

  I think my favourite RC was this year. Watched on download and had the complete transcript downloaded from here!

  "when will this hope be fulfilled?

  the bible foretold events that would signal that god’s kingdom is about to begin its rule over the earth.

  present world conditions match what the bible foretold.

  Watchtower 1989 Jan 1 p.12
  "He was laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th century." (continues

  That is what the original WT said. By the time the WT volume was produced early the following year and subsequently the digital version, it had been changed to:

  He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day.

  Obviously they had lost their confidence with only a decade left of the 20th Century!

  Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

  by jwundubbed in

  i found out recently that michelangelo's painting of adam on the sistine chapel depicts him without a belly button.

  i had never noticed this before and it makes sense that neither adam nor eve would have belly buttons, not having been born in the usual way.

  then i realized all the first animals were created rather than born, according to the religious views of the origin of life.

  I found out recently that Michelangelo's painting of Adam on the Sistine Chapel depicts him without a belly button.

  I just looked at that painting on Wikipedia and he certainly appears to have a navel.

  Current UK circuit overseers by area

  i have been reading through old threads discussing circuit overseers from the past.

  i saw a photo of a list from the mid 2000s someone took at london bethel, which was helpful for that time.

  i'm extremely interested in compiling a list of current circuit overseers from across the uk, seeing that the circuits had a massive change in recent years.

  Prior to Errol Flynn we had Sean Smart, probably one of the best CO's I have ever known. He was moved to Bedfordshire (?) area I think.
