  I used to have a telex and a fax machine. Somehow I get by without them. Wow, I don't seem to have had a boy on a bike deliver a telegram for a while either.

  Rebekah Vardy--UK channel 4 : Tuesday 16th 10.00pm.

  summary.

  the subject of the `wagatha christie" trial investigates the inner workings of the jehovah's witnesses.

  having grown up within the faith, she explains how the religion failed to support her through sexual abuse and shunned her as a child.

  I also think it went well. The interviews with others were very powerful. The pity was the overhang from the Wagatha Christie came that undermines her credibility. I suppose that was also the positive since it is that case that gave the program its prominence.

  She came across as sincere and truthful. My question is how her abuse came in front of the elders when they had been shunned for 4 years. Maybe either she or I missed something.

  Her comments about life in the Borg were very familiar. Overall, I’m glad I’m not knocking on doors this morning.

  Biden running in 2024 🤣

  i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.

  apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.

  his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

  I don't always agree with you Cofty but honestly? It's depressing. This will be the third surreal election in which any sort of pretence of genuine public service seems completely absent. You couldn't make it up.

  Had a friend who was so wild with weekend parties and over drinking that he was asked to leave.

  I had a friend who did the same and became a Bethel elder.

  Christmas Decorations at the Kingdom hall

  i can't remember if i've told this story before .... but back in the day, in irlam congregation (northwest england, uk, cheshire #1 circuit i think) we used to rent a kingdom hall for many years before we eventually built our own.. preston hall.

  ah, the memories .... it was primarily used as a community hall for old folks, but we had it friday night and sunday morning.. there was a loft and fold-out ladder and we used to store the chairs up their.

  every meeting, there would be an assembly line of all the "lads" to pass the chairs down and set them up, then collect them up and pass them back up at the end of the meeting.

  I went to a cong that met in a community hall. Come Christmas the decorations were hung every where. We would take them down then re-hang the when we left.

  That felt like a compromise but we got quite good at it.

  Maybe one day we will have "Dubland" complete with rides and immersive experiences. We have Disneyland, WT "museums. Sophia and Caleb are being almost merchandised in every Bethel around the world.

  How a once misguided but sincerely held message is being trivialised!

  Can't access it. Continuously more character checks in an unending sequence.

  deaf aotearoa flooded with complaints about jehovah's witness churchkashka tunstalllast updated 15:22, october 6 2015deaf aotearoa has asked the jehovah's witness church to respond to claims of a deaf information database.new zealand's deaf community is fed up with unsolicited house calls, claiming the jehovah's witness church is targeting deaf households.deaf aotearoa has received multiple complaints from around the country and says church members visited certain homes because they were aware a deaf person lived there.

  the organisation released a statement on monday, saying it was looking into the possibility the church holds a database listing the details of members of the deaf community.jehovah witness spokesman rod spinks said there was no such database and deaf people were not being targeted.the deaf aotearoa statement was posted on the group's facebook page, and received a flood of comments from frustrated people.one woman said a group of jehovah's witnesses had come to her house and asked "for the deaf person who lives here.

  " she said they refused to explain how they had her details and didn't visit her neighbours.another said church members had turned up at her work and asked for her by name.hamilton man royce flynn said he had been visited six times over the last nine months, despite repeatedly saying he was uninterested in the house calls.he said the church members were always able to sign and also brought deaf people along, which lead him to believe he was being singled out.flynn said contacted local police, who told him it was a privacy issue and referred him on to the office of the privacy commissioner.he said he had been been in contact with local labour member of parliament sue moroney.deaf aotearoa acting chief executive jill dean said complaints about the church were a recurring issue.

  This is a really interesting and informative thread, really worth resurrecting, absolute incontrovertible evidence of WT lying.

  Has this legislation moved forward? The bishop spoke persuasively but I felt covered in slime having heard him. The three ex dubs spoke clearly and logically. I hope they win out.
