study article 19. how can we strengthen our faith in jehovah’s promise of a new world?.
17 many servants of jehovah have applied jehovah’s counsel to “keep in expectation”—even for decades.
louise, for example, began serving jehovah in 1939. she says: “at that time, i thought armageddon would come before i finished high school.
Louise, for example,
I bet a pound to a pinch of snuff Louise is fictitious.
I found it helpful to read what I call ‘the waiting accounts’
You mean 'overlapping(tm) accounts, love.'
In any case, these accounts of waiting, from when? 1975? From when TOMO had his last double on the rocks?
that’s all we need, to lose china’s economic friendship.
since the chinese explained it was a friendly balloon, shouldn’t we expect the same from china?.
...just when the MSM made us think that Mr Biden was in bed with the Chinese.
You just never know!
Anyway, I have zero trust for our politicians. All filth!
i do wonder about the universe as we know it .
it does boggle my mind ,and how such a variety of life does exist on this planet ,from the microscopic to the most advanced life forms.. in such an abundance .?.
and then looking out there in the universe the multitudes of stars like our sun and planets exist that we have no knowledge of boggles my mind .. so ,maybe i am spiritual in some sense..
I know what you mean Smidster.
After being brutally brainwashed by an abusive cult that is led by drunkards and paedophile lovers, I now have no trust in organised religion and religious leaders. Let's be honest, they're only humans that have to go to the khazi like the rest of us. They foist their interpretations on to which ever 'holy book' they advertise.
I do not know about God/s but the universe is awesome. Tardigrades rock!
Sadly, I feel the reaper will come, I will shuffle off this mortal coil in due course. Something tells me there's bugger all after this lot.
i need your opinion and a discussion...tell me what you think, both pros and cons...the governments of norway and russia have both targeted watchtower's severely inhumane policy of disfellowship separating and isolating members by ostracizing them and labeling them as 'mentally diseased", etc.
dis fellowship.is a mushy concept unfamiliar to non-jw's.that word doesn't convey brutal, cold, and uncaring shunning and the impact on vulnerable persons cut off from family and friends.i propose swapping the phrase "religious apartheid" for the term "disfellowship" because it is significantly more impactful, familiar, and gut-wrenching.jw's teach practice and promote discrimination, opprobrium, and animus in punishing by isolation those who disagree with their doctrines.
moreover - it is a de facto death sentence both spiritually and (according to the expectation of armageddon) literally as well.
Enforced Discrimination
i went into a supermarket yesterday and said to the assistant, "i'd like to buy some herbs.
she said to me, "sorry, i don't have thyme.
" so i just walked out and went to a different store.

NE - if the elderly person has money, the elders are there everyday or calling to see how they are doing
You beat me to it.
With the Watchtower Corporation(tm), it's all about the money.
How else will TOMO afford expensive whiskey to get 'as a newt' on?
investing in unethical enterprises.
in the ocean, big fish swallow the little fish while the big fish are swallowed by the even bigger fish.. below is an example of this principle.. .
a fellow named mccann donated 50k shares of rand cam engine corp. to the watchtower society.. rand cam engine corp. manufactures aircraft engines for commercial, recreational, and military clients.
q. What are your thoughts TOMO the drunk 3rd?
a. I don't believe all this God shhhhhtuff. I am on the grift so I can shhhhtay as drunk as pozzzzzzzible.
I invest my liver in whishhhhhkeeeeyyy
the bible records miracles such as resurrections, angels, prophecy and destructive acts of god to mention a few.
are these all a pack of lies?
how do you explain them?
FM - book of Daniel foretold the succeeding world Empires
I used to believe that when I was a Jobot. Now, I think it's a bit of a stretch to see it. I'm not convinced the books in the Bible were necessarily written when Bible advocates claim.
Religion is a big grift and has been for countless years. The grifters perpetuate the con any way they can, with claims and 'evidence' written by them to prove their point.
So. After the grifters and those that don't agree are done arguing, where does one stand? Confused?
Follow the money? Probably why I don't hold any firm belief anymore.
the barge full of vegetarians floating above mt. Everest.
At least they weren't Vegans otherwise we'd all know about it.
i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.
also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .
there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.
We all know Santa is an anagram of Satan. NASA is also an anagram of Satan without the T. This is why they always say T minus 10,9,8….Datan is the father of the lie and NASA are liars Indy
Datan the father of the lid.
OK. I'm not indulging in this silliness anymore. I'm beginning to suspect some trolling here. It's getting very irrational and quite frankly, pointless.
Dissy - Good grief. He is clearly not someone I wish talking to again about NASA's space program.
I will no longer look at or respond to this bonkers thread.
Coming soon: Why the Earth is flat.

Not being mean, but anyone knows the rocket wouldn't go straight up to the moon. This isn't Wallace and Gromit.
If it takes 3 days to get there, you'd need to take into consideration orbits and shizzle. You'd expect curvature. There wouldn't be a trail in a straight line up. How bonkers would that be?
This is a really hilarious attempt by some Flat Earther type, isn't it?! TBH, I think this is a joke meme.
