Jan - Choc éclairs are fully acceptable in the Church of Sweets and Desserts. Also, you can get some real nice sweets in the Polish deli near me. Diabetes in a box.

my friends Napoleon and DaVinci

You've had a sugar rush and are hallucinating. These guys are no longer with us. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

Anyway, (or 'anyways' with an 's' on the end if you're in America), I really am kind of leaving this society myself. I act at doing all the things 'normal' sheeple do but don't feel part of it.

This is why I cannot be part of a religion. I think I've done the internal 'alchemy' and declare it all bunkum.

I feel that religion is like politics is like sport. I caveat this with, 'this doesn't apply to everyone'.

There are those (not everyone, remember), that just want to belong to a tribe. It doesn't matter if that tribe is right or wrong, the belonging is what matters.

This is why we have the 'woke' tribe. Their religion is to play the victim and find victimhood so that they can virtue signal to each other.

Soccer and sports fans can feel part of a team. They say things like, 'we played well at this game'. It's a false inclusion of self into hive.

Politics is celebrities for the ugly.

You can see why I hate society and everything in it. It's all just us living in someone else's dream. Most things are designed by someone else. The furniture we sit on, the products we consume. We exist in other people's design.

Having said that, I quite like meringues filled with fresh cream.

An old friend was all nice until she found out I was DF'd!!!

by Lynnie in

well this is almost funny to me at this point.

i've been out since i was 19 and i'm now 65. i have uber jw cousins that of course now shun me big time.

funny how when my uber jw started declining in health all of a sudden they "needed" me and i had to help with her care blah blah after being shunned for years.. my mom passed away a couple of years ago and i sent out the death/memorial announcements to her friends far and near.

It's bonkers, isn't it!!?!

I was commenting to an on the edge Jobo that my life isn't going where I wanted it to and they said, 'it went down hill when you left the organisation.'

Organis.....what?? I wonder if they knew how stupid and actually offensive that sounded?

Well, while these people choose to remain in their mental prisons, they will be supercilious, pious and sanctimonious bigots.

Little do they realise they are just fodder and money for the drunken GB. Their loss, really.

The Truth about the Truth

by Iamallcool in

jw

if jw wants to know the truth about the truth, what will you talk about first?

punkofnice

I probably wouldn't offer much. I'd just tell them to do their own research.

Of course, it depends on who, what, why and where..and all that jazz.

Religious groups in UK failing children over sex abuse, report says - BBC News

by ballistic in

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58420270.

this item just featured on the bbc lunchtime news today as the headline story and the piece included a reporter who singled out jehovah's witnesses for discussion from the 30 organisations covered by the report.

the news item then went on to feature an extensive interview ex elder and ex jehovah's witness writer lloyd evans..

That's rich coming from the BBC. These were the ones that protected scum like Jimmy Saville.

The statue on the outside of their building was put there by an incestuous paedo that also committed bestiality.

The BBC are another bunch of MSM fake news jockeys.

Interesting they mentioned the Jobos though.

the idiots who follow Trumpolini

I like to call him Trumpty-dumpty.

One thing the Watchtower(TM) got right was that following ANY of our politicians or prominent people is a waste of time. They don't care about us; only what they can gain from us. It's time to wake up and smell the rotten in the state of Denmark. I have no respect or loyalty to any of these self serving schnooks.

If you disagree, don't just put a cowardly anonymous dislike but state why you disagree. you never know, I might see your point and agree.

Now AC is racist. LMFAO

Of course it is; along with everything else that can get attention seekers noticed for their fake virtue.

then you have the grifters like Robyn DeAngelo that tell us that everyone (apart from her is a wassist). Why? Well, let's see. could it be because she offers courses on how to be like her...at a price?

Wassism is an industry. I really don't know why people don't just ignore these grifters or tell them to p155 off and get a real job that will actually help and not fracture society.

As for those gullible fools that fall for it all............

Charles T Russell -a freemason and the connection to the illuminati...

by dolphman in

jw
friends

ok, i'm not one for conspiracy theories but lately i've uncovered some interesting facts that i think warrant some attention.. first of all, russell was a freemason.

all the early watchtower and books he authored have freemason symbology and art throughout them.

not a big deal i thought, until i read more about freemasons and the so-called "illuminati", a group of 13 families that supposedly control the world.. supposedly these 13 families, such as the duponts, mcdonalds, kennedys, .

I myself am very sceptical about all this stuff.

I admit there's no smoke without fire but I just don't think, that in the grand scheme of things, it really works like that.
