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.
If only they'd realise, the only reason all this exists is so that the corporation can thrive. Keep 'em in and keep the money and assets going to the GB. Why? For the GB, so they can continue with their rock star status and lifestyle.
I wish karma existed. Sadly, I see no evidence of it.
this is happening in western australian indigenous communities .... quote: "some american-based preachers are distributing emails and videos warning that covid-19 vaccines are evil and the work of satan, and the notion has infected some christian communities in the west australian outback.. veteran aboriginal health worker kathy watson said people spreading false information about the covid-19 vaccination and its links to the devil were "mad".".

Jan - Leo painted my lounge walls yesterday.
'Course 'e can. So was Napoleon - Corsican, that is.
Back to the Fred...
is the fact that no god/god ever communicates with us evidence that no god/god exists?
i think it is very strong evidence that no personal god/god exits, especially a benevolent god who wants humans to know him him/her/it, to obey him/her/it, and/or to love him/her/it.
since no god/god communicates to us (including those who sincerely want communication with the/a god/god), wouldn't it be sensible for those who pray to what they believe is the/a god/god to cease all efforts to communicate to a god/god?
I think this world and it's people have wasted too much time with this religion and god nonsense. It's a pity we as a world, can't just get on with life and each other.
Yes. I know it's never going to happen. People are flawed.

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.

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.

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.

A sad loss for all.
I have no more words.
if jw wants to know the truth about the truth, what will you talk about first?
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.

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.
