  Some I remember.

  One lovely brother, now dead reflecting about the eee=light (elite) he had read about in the WT.

  Reading organism as orgasm.

  I heard a recording of a convention talk where the bro used octopus features in an illustration. He repeatedly said "testicles" instead of "tentacles". After a few examples you could hear the penny drop. He had to decide whether he should continue his mistake or change to the correct word and admit his blunder.

  I think I would have just said "aww bollocks" and moved on.

  so it seems that donald is set to launch a social media platform called "truth social".

  if you start the sign up to go on the wait list you are asked to "follow the truth".

  uncomfortable.. maybe it directs you to wt.borg.

  Maybe it directs you to WT.Borg. The GB's big media centre push seems to have missed a trick.

  Don't see the point. You are just living or leaving by their rules. What (outside the Borg) is a disassociation letter?

  If you want to leave, at least make it difficult for them.

  more than one-third of muslims (39%), white mainline protestants (37%), buddhists (37%), and the religiously unaffiliated (36%) have at least a four-year college degree.

  another 19% are catholic, 2% are latter-day saint, and less than 1% each are jehovah’s witnesses or orthodox christians.

  Once again a double espresso and a fine Armagnac with a Montecristo cigar from me. Don't know whether I can stomach 4 hours of AGM though.

  Allegheny Pyramid Desecrated

  by RolRod in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  sometime within the last 2 weeks, someone took a sledgehammer to the pyramid monument in allegheny.

  they stole the topstone, smashed the cross and crown emblem and removed the seal.. personally i'm surprised it lasted this long untouched.

  although through the years russell's grave has been vandalized, it was always repaired by the bible students..

  It will be a very sad thing if the head stone is not replaced. It seems like an attempt at rewriting history. ]

  The founder of the religion in direct contact with the creator of the universe in an unmarked plot? Scandalous, total lack of respect. It's a desecration worse than the ignorant vandals that did the original damage.

  Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
  As I foretold you, were all spirits and
  Are melted into air, into thin air:
  And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
  The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
  The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
  Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
  And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
  Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
  As dreams are made on, and our little life
  Is rounded with a sleep.

  Three and a half more years of Biden ...

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  how is the biden administration doing so far?.

  biden reversed trump's plans for the border wall, and now america has thousands of illegal immigrants entering from mexico.. strangely, biden didn't reverse trump's plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and instead pressed ahead with his own brand of lunacy, literally running away from afghanistan and abandoning its people to the taliban.. what is it with biden?

  is he senile or just incompetent?

  With an orange narcissist in one corner and an incompetent idiot in the other, I agree with you. Politics is just broken, it probably always was.

  Perhaps we need a universal govern... Oh hang on!

  I honestly can't remember a more crazy, divided period. It seems that any pretence of any thing resembling a desire to improve lives rather than exercise naked self interest has gone forever.

  East Pennines A$$emb£y Hall

  Just to clarify. The hall has not been sold. On the contrary it has been effectively commandeered. The ownership is being voted, at the instruction of the beneficiary (IBSA) . If the assembly hall(s) come back into use then presumably circuits will pay handsomely to use the building. If the building becomes redundant, then it can be sold without further reference to those who built it, made the sacrifices materially and financially to do so.

  So, not sold... yet. As for the future, who knows?
