greetings all,.
i'm new here, not jw, yet i'm curious if there's anyone out there who has recently converted to jehovah's witness who can give me a better understanding of what brought brought them from point a to b in terms of coming to understand jw theology as truth.
thanks in advance for all the help.. av.
Hi AV23 and welcome.
I was born in and didn't wake up the scam until I was 50.
So that's 50 years slaving for a fake corporation that pretends to be a religion when all it is, is a 'real estate' (to Americans), scam.
Don't be fooled. They use their own fake Bible to get their followers to give money, goods and time so that the leaders can live in luxury with rock star status in the Warwick compound.
My advice...................run like the wind and never return to this treacherous con.
i would like to visit las vegas one day.
if you have a choice, would you want to live there?
low humidity sounds good to me.
Greaty - I liked the way people's hair stood on end as they leant over the railing at the falls.
put their earlobe against the wooden door and you pierce a hole it by hammering the sharp pointed awl through it
Reminds me of Monty Python's 'Dinsdale', nailing heads to a coffee table.
Deuteronomy 23:1
No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord.
How can anyone take this garbage seriously? If you need to have it explained (normally by some twit in a funny hat), then as I keep saying, God is useless at communicating...or simply doesn't exist and all this written guano is man made stuff.
......and we've wasted our bloody lives on it all!

Ultimately we're all filth, so no one has that claim for very long.

As Kenneth Williams said, 'Oh, what's the bloody point.'

lamall. I've never been to the USA. I've seen America from the other side; Niagara falls Canada. Las Vegas just looks a bit tacky to me from what I've seen. I might be wrong, of course, because I'm not talking from personal experience.
I think I'd be happy living in Toronto or Ontario generally, if President Justin asked me over.
Although I live in the UK, I'm not impressed with it. It's becoming a bit of a crap-hole.
Why don't you move, then? I hear people ask. As if it's as easy as that, pffffffffff. what planet are they on? I'm working class, not a champagne socialist, Guardian reading rich hypocrite.
just an observation viewing some of their on camera appearances , and their arrogance believing they are the only one`s used by god to reach and teach the people ,despite what gj said at the arc on the subject.. no doubt the gb men wear designer tailor made suits from the best tailors in nys ?
and their wives adequately provided for in a similar way ?
nothing from kmart or target ,walmart or whatever.. shoes are probably made from form fit cobblers to fit the individual ?
Over the years I've met loads of different circus over-sneers and their wives. Some were lovely people, some were not, with all variations in between.
Funny to think that my ex was an elder's wife when I was an elder.....gawd, those weren't the days
At the end of the day, (even at the beginning and middle), we're dealing with individual humans.
to me, at least, it's a given that humans are ultimately selfish, whether we know it or not, what's the bloody point in bothering? We'll all be dead soon anyway. Y'know, just to keep it positive.
waton - back to bible horror: David, wt's favoured, collecting 200 foreskins to buy Saul's daughter. what a slaughter. er.
Reminds me of
Breezy - Likewise, in the Bible, the rod was applied to slaves and non-slaves alike.
I'm sure that was the culture for humans in those days.
But slavery is still evil isn't it? A loving god should have had it outlawed. Either god doesn't exist (seems most likely), doesn't care or is a sadistic piece of scum.
None of the stuff about historic punishment applies to the instructions a loving god would allow.
And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.

it's nice to be getting back into the swing of going to see bands again.
also, playing in a band too.. we've done a couple of gigs, which was great.
one of which, we had to wait to be paid because most people were paying by card.. i went to see steve hackett at leicester de mountfort hall last friday.
Fadey - I've seen Hackett a couple of times now, it's a good show. Mind you, some of his light displays blind me. Shame about Tull for you.
