when did the jws make the rule that you couldn’t clink glasses together and raise glasses of wine?.
and why the change to being a conscience matter now?.
I think of the time when the family has sat round a table, celebration in the air, and a reflection in mind about who should have been there. "To absent friends and family" Such an appropropriate feeling to express. Why could we never say that before?
One of the reasons some of those faces are missing was adherence to the blood doctrine. Now if they reversed that one...
i thought this admirable young man deserved a mention in a topic of its own, , especially as he has tabled three amendments to a bill going through parliament, his amendments will tighten mandatory reporting, and stop j.w's avoiding doing so !.
in his speech, being an ex j.w., he highlighted the devious way the j.w's get out of reporting abuse, and cover the whole thing up.
he also called the j.w org.
The man seems intelligent and determined. His speech was very well prepared and covered all the bases. He seems to have put the work in and it was noticeable that the few members in the house at the time were really paying attention. He seems like a breath of fresh air both for our interests and as a fresh voice, not just repeating current clichés. I think he may go far

i am watching the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of ve day.
80 years since the defeat of nazi germany in 1945. i find the interviews of the stalwart men and women who played their part very moving.
these veterans speak with pride and sadness about their experiences, those they lost, those they fought alongside.
Just to add a nail to the original point. Today a candle will be lit in memory of the fallen. Who by? Winston Churchill’s
great,
great,
grandson.
of course that is from 1945, not 1914.

Hey, I’ve just listened to the song. It really says it all.

Yes, I think that it's the contrast between these humble elderly people that stood up and "did their bit" heroically. Somehow the contrast between them, and GB#2 makes me feel nauseous.
On one side we have a tiny number of these people remembering the past with pride and sorrow and facing the future with dignity. On the other we have a self aggrandising, self appointed group of imposters somehow claiming to be the former.
Dudes, you don't deserve to breathe the same air.

These veterans speak with pride and sadness about their experiences, those they lost, those they fought alongside. They are all now in their late 90s. Permission to start the parade is being given by a man 101 years of age.
Whilst I watch I reflect on the ridiculous notion that somehow the generation of 1914 in whatever form you choose is still going strong. How does anyone still believe this nonsense?
there are some things we don't know about existence and whether the earth is a simulation or even a creation.
but we can do some statistical analysis on it.. the probability of a planet like earth existing in the goldilocks zone and having a moon that perfectly eclipses the sun is extremely low, but it's not impossible.
the habitable zone (or goldilocks zone) around a star is the region where a planet could potentially support liquid water on its surface.
Here is a thought. I think that the Goldilocks analogy misses one point. To study the amazing set of circumstances allowing life on earth to appear and evolve is really interesting.
The real deal though is that we happen to exist in a corner of the universe amongst trillions of galaxies where those circumstances exist. There may be more or we may be alone in the universe. It's the fact that we happen to be in those improbable circumstances that gave life a chance.
We are like an earthworm saying, isn't it incredible that this pile of horse s***t was just there so I may bury my self into it and meet another worm and procreate. If that horse had not shat at that exact moment...
I'm not sure if that analogy works but it's the reverse logic that I question.
has any body noticed that the bible reading schedule has been reduced to one chapter per week.
does any one know if this is a policy change or something temporary?
at this rate the complete cycle will take 22 years plus..
