Yes. We all had to be sensible and on our best behaviour. It was worse than terminal constipation. The Jobots were all trying to pretend they were enjoying themselves.

Have you ever been on a congregation picnic?
by LostintheFog1999 inwere you ever on a congregation picnic?
i was on several occasions.. the arrangements were often announced from the platform after the closing song and prayer by the last elder up on the platform.. sometimes it was included in the service meeting announcements as "on saturday we're meeting at 10.00am at the kingdom hall for field service, and after field service for anyone who wishes, especially for the younger ones, we will be having a congregation picnic meeting at the beach carpark on seaview road.".
well, according to the new elders manual you won't be hearing those words again.

Hell, what is it
by Anony Mous inso perhaps we all heard the jw story about jesus talking to gehenna and he was referring to a place outside the city where there was a dump burning refuse and everyone knew what it meant.. according to jw.org: tradition relates that the valley of hinnom thereafter became a place for the disposal of garbage.
and the bible provides confirmation for this.
at jeremiah 31:40, for example, the valley of hinnom is evidently called the “low plain of the carcasses and of the fatty ashes.” there was also the “gate of the ash-heaps,” a gate that seems to have opened out onto the eastern extremity of the valley of hinnom at its juncture with the kidron valley.—nehemiah 3:13, 14.. i think i heard that in the study of the greatest teacher book first.

Every religion should comply....
by BoogerMan in...except of course jw's!.
g84 8/22 p. 28 - "the catholic church occupies a very significant position in the world and claims to be the way of salvation for hundreds of millions of people.
any organization that assumes that position should be willing to submit to scrutiny and criticism.".

They scrutinise themselves. No one else is allowed to.
When they scrutinise themselves, how odd, they come out smelling of roses....or in the case of drunken TOMO....whiskey!

Should Jehovah's Witnesses Trust the Governing Body?
by Vanderhoven7 inif there is evidence that jesus invisibly chose specific men at headquarters in brooklyn new york in 1919 to be his faithful slave and that mandate and ability passed on to future directors...then the answer might just be a resounding maybe.. what is the evidence for this invisible appointment and what is the evidence that this is just watchtower mythology?.
i hope jws like scholar and fisherman will explain why the trust the gb.. i must be honest, i see no evidence at all to put trust in either the 1919 selection or the current men taking the lead in warwick.

Is it Logical To Beleive In A Creator - GOD ? In This Scientific Age ?
by smiddy3 ini don`t think so .
hasn`t science ,astronomy ,time , .....proven it an illogical beleif ?.
with the information about this solar system and it`s planets ,other stars and their planets that we have information about ,and the fact that no god has ever revealed him/her self in any shape or form 'there is no evidence that a creator / god has ever existed.. except in the minds of humans who want to control a section of humanity .. the fact that religions rely on "you have to have faith" to beleive in a god ,surely is a cop out.. i look forward to your comments .. and a happy new year to you all..

This is where we get into definitions of 'creators' and all that stuff.
It can end up being a battle of semantics and personal philosophy.
Where do you end up?
Back to square 1 often because of our biases.
I remain ever the sceptic. Heck, I don't even believe what I'm told by newsreaders.
Until it is proven to my satisfaction (yes, I used the term 'my'), then it will all remain in the realms of fiction.

A geezer I know had a chat with me when I was leaving the disgusting cult of Watchtower(tm).
He said that a true friend is a friend all the time, no matter what. Any 'friend' not like that, you're better off without.
That's life, mate!

Andrew Tate on the news
by slimboyfat ini hadn’t heard of this guy, andrew tate, until a few days ago, when he was mentioned on novara media (which is practically the only news i watch).
then i saw a clip with him where he explained why he moved to romania: he said he ‘likes romania because the police are corrupt and you can pay them off’.
(practically a direct quote) i thought to myself at the time that sounded a bit complacent!

I don't believe for one minute that whoever writes on behalf of Greta T and Tate's video reply had anything to do with the arrests. It's just the Thunberg industry taking credit.
Tate would have entered Roumania with a passport that authorities could be alerted to. They know where he lives and where his clubs are.
The Thunberg industry or the Tate industry. I have no time for either. However, on this occasion it looks like the media is promoting a climate alarmist (who has no solutions), to push 'the message'.
Saint Greta took down Tate. What rubbish and spin.

Filthy JW nonce. Drunken sot TOMO the turd will protect the Organisations (tm) reputation because they are nonce lovers. I hope the governing body (tm) are raided too. Dirty nonces. I loathe them. If it was my grand kids, I'd be on the warpath. It's about time they were all on trial with no kid gloves. Capital punishment for those drunken filth
