Does anyone else get “triggered” when somebody uses the word “triggered”?

Hello, Sir Fish. I hope all is well with you.
Whatever my views, I don't think they 'overlap(tm)'.
As for 1914, I see no significance there. When I left the Jobots and became a mainstream Christian, I got the impression from this text as being more about the generation alive up to the Romans and Masada and all that stuff because they saw it.
Now, it's pretty meaningless to me. I'm more inclined to a Buddhist-lite version of life.

It's a shame people take these frauds for real.
...although a lot of us were Jobots.

Watchtower Dishonesty aka Theocratic Warfare
by Vanderhoven7 ini would like to collect as many instances of watchtower dishonesty and pretense as possible.
here is one from a bulgarian as an example of what i'm looking for.. are jehovah's witnesses disfellowshipped for receiving blood in a hospital?.
helge fauskanger writes: "if witnesses can’t convince the elders that they are utterly “repentant” for this vampiric lapse of theirs, they will be held to have disassociated themselves from the religion — even if they never said a word about wanting to leave it!

Will the ministry ever resume?
by optimisticskeptic ingoing on 2+ years of no public ministry.
can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.
i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

Will the ministry ever resume?That depends upon whether it'll be a money spinner and provide booze for TOMO the turd and his pardo loving gang.

One simple photo to sum up the heartless and hypocritical attitudes of many Jehovah's Witnesses

and another....
The JW leaders have turned their sheeple into monsters.
All because TOMO 3rd and the Governing Body (Pee be upon them), want money to get drunk with. Oh, that, and to protect their like minded paedophiles.
Filthy, disgusting pigs.

Worship study this week
by road to nowhere insince i need to keep up for family's sake i "study"(skim, its not deep).
worship: pray, study ( wt), go to meetings ( formal, not gathering 2 or 3), preach.
thrn add helping build halls, donating, and since donations go one way only, give material aid to others.. note construction time isn't for service,( but i may have turned in time for it).

Roadie - but I may have turned in time for it....
I think 99% of reporting time(TM) is all fictional, anyway. (Anyways with an 's' on the end if you're in America).
Where the 'donations(tm)' actually go...........

What Does Prayer Actually Do?
by punkofnice inif you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.

Judgy. I was told once that as a believer, you'll never really find evidence for God etc.
I find that a bit hard to swallow.
I think that here, in the Western world a lot of people think 'Bible' when they think in terms of God and belief.
How do we know that Allah, Odin or Rastafari isn't the real God and we have the wrong book?
You see my dilemma?

judgy - And I choose to believe that verse means...............
And that's what bothers me.
Choosing to believe isn't the same as knowing.
If those verses were of divine origin, there would be no choosing to believe. It would be obvious when read, exactly what it means.
