joseph and mary were not in a spiritually adulterous relationship with the roman authorities, the "legs of iron".
joseph and mary were not perfect.
the governing body of the modern-day organization of jehovah's witnesses is not perfect.
joao - I have asked you some questions and you've completely ignored them!
Don't expect any answers.
Anna the Banana is only here to preach and it's really boring.
Either Banana is in need of serious mental medical attention or trolling.
Either way, I don't bother reading her/his/their blather. It's absolute self absorbed, pious and mind-warped rubbish.

our witness friend who during covid grew his beard has been hassled by elders who asked him "why" he chose to have facial growth.
he for real, had to give an answer why.
this is pharasees total rubbish.
Even when I was a Jobot I didn't understand the 'beard' thing.
Now it just screams 'CULT'.
we seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.
Dissy - my physics teacher and my chemistry made
I missed that. That's rather amusing. A tad Frankensteinian
it's been years since i posted here.
my jw mother died july 5th.
it was quite honestly not that emotional for me.
Hellothere. What's up with the Brits and there love of royalty.
'their' not 'there'.
It isn't all Brits. You can't tar a whole country with the same brush. It's far too tribal to do that.
The same as I don't think all Yanks are heavily medicated, can't spell and are slightly bonkers.
I for one felt nothing about the Queen passing other than any death is sad.
Not all of us are royalists and not all of us are republicans.
Most of us are just trying to get on with our lives.
On a thread about the death of a mother, I found your comments to be rude and out of line. Now, behave or I'll be telling Tony Morris about you.
i was brought up as a born-in(tm) here in the uk.
it wasn't until i was 50 that the scales fell from my eyes, i woke up, got da'd from the cult and my wife was advised to leave me by the elders whom i had served with on the boe.
one of which i know wanted to schtupf her.
Thanks Dodgy knees.
You have hit the reality of it, I surmise.

Hello from the UK to your old donkey.
Sometimes our emotions catch up with us later. Still sad news.
Were you expecting the passing?

Thanks for your replies geezers and geezeresses. I'm glad I'm not alone.

Oi Dissy. Thanks for your reply. We shall agree to half disagree if you catch my drift.
I believe that the climate scientists who say
Ooooh. that's surely a bit of 'confirmation bias' innit? I don't trust them. you can if you want. They can spew out what ever word salad they like. After 50 years of the WBT$ telling me 'truth(tm)' I think it's really mega naïve to believe what some geezer in a lab coat on the green payroll says.
Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.
So says someone. Doesn't mean it's true. Even if they agree why can't their echo chamber be wrong? One name Al Gore, some Yanky bigwig. His predictions were about as accurate as WBT$'s Armageddon(tm).
It just sounds like the same old spin to me.
Having said that, people could do better for the environment. But how are you going to tell China or India that? If we could have a border around the UK that went into the sky so that the pollution from other countries didn't penetrate us, that'd be grand.
As for Evolution at school, why would I make a joke about it? Is Evolution true? I'm inclined to think so. Do I care? No. Because it won't make any difference to my daily life. At my age the road is fast running out so in the end it won't matter. I don't believe there is anything after. Just the curtain going down for good. I'm tired of this life TBH. I'm tired of people in authority. I'm bored of all the pointlessness of the tribalism in politics and life.
Right now it is well past my bed time and I need to get some sleep before i go to work tomorrow.
I'm writing this at work before I begin. I can't go on the links because of work's firewall.
Sleep well Dissy, don't work too hard, mate. (As we say here in the UK).
Yeah. Good idea, mate, about you making a new thread discussing it. If that's what you meant.

My dear old Dad became a Jobot after he was de-mobbed from the Marines (WW11), and was in quite a vulnerable state.
Yet still, even to this day, although I miss my Dad, I do hold a sort of resentment that he thought it was best for me to be a Jobot.
50 wasted bloody years.
I guess what I'm asking is, does it sound normal that I hold this resentment and am frustrated that I can't explain to him?
PS. I'm in the UK, we don't do all this 'therapy' schtick. We generally put up and shut up this side of the pond. Stiff upper lip and all.
