  It is my understanding that all "full time servants" or as we would say "paid" employees are under this house arrest.

  They must have the most boring life in the most boring place in the most boring time in decades. For the them lock-down means LOCK-DOWN. They have Benn not allowed off the premises, or received any guests or visited family since the start of Covid. If they want to send out for a pizza, it has to be quarantined for 3 days.

  That is my understanding of things. The paranoia exhibited by the gb on their behalf is staggering.

  Why don't we grab some french fries and visit with minimus!

  You beat me to it Atlantis, maybe a good steak and some onion rings too.

  Thanks for all you do mate, I for one really treasure all the heads ups you provide. We are better informed than the jumped up elders. Knowledge is power.

  after all we do know the date when this occurred unlike his birth.

  isn't this the foundation of the christian faith?

  and the biggest event in mankind's history?

  The main subject of the memorial and allied meetings at this time of year is strict instructions and information as to why you must not take the emblems. That seems to be the over arching message ignored by thousand more every year.

  i have come into possession of memorial zoom meeting codes for tonight that cannot be traced back to me.

  i will not be attending.

  what are your thoughts on posting these codes so activists can join tonight and maybe say something?

  They will be super vigilant, looking for dreaded, evil, "Apostates" If you can get in, they will be onto you.

  Just found out Chris Stuckmann is ex-JW

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  chris stuckmann is a youtube reviewer of films and aspiring film maker himself.. he has over a million subscribers to his channel.

  in my ignorance, i've always been a bit jealous of successful youtubers, including stuckmann - y'know, 'they make loads of money, life must be great for them.'.

  and then i found out chris stuckmann used to be a jw, was born into it, and walked away from it.. he says in this video that even now, his dad will probably never speak to him again for telling all about his past.. well, all the best, chris stuckmann!.

  I enjoyed the whole discussion. It was not a rant neither did it exaggerate. It highlighted things that should be of concern to anyone.

  Above all it showed that there is a way to be a well balanced, sane human being at peace with himself.

  You are so right Phizzy;

  They use family and friends to coerce you by the method known as " Shunning", an Un-Christian and Unscriptural practice.

  Whilst they have anyone you care about remaining "in". You have to decide whether you can live estranged from them. They have the power of your own love and loyalty to family and will use it against you. They make the choices inhumanly tough.

  Harry, Meghan the Royal Apostates

  by Slidin Fast in

  i just watched the oprah interview.

  i know that many view them with little interest as just entitled wastes of space and i get that.. however, the description of how they were "trapped" and silenced and forced into perpetuating the system with little or no personal freedom rang bells for me.

  they are effectively shunned, estranged and disparaged by their family and cut off from support.

  The aspect that I saw and recognised was the fact that once you question the received wisdom, the life you had is over. No room for argument, no debate. Of course they have gone from wealth. and privilege to wealth and privilege but Meghan's story reminds me of love bombing, baptism and then (too late) reality.

  Please understand I am not suggesting that this is a direct comparison, just that those aspects made my skin crawl.
