  Thank you all so much for your wonderful words of kindness and insight.

  A friend of my son and I came along because he knew my Mum. Rev Ron of St Paul's New England Peterborough. We invited him. He is a genuine chap. A Nottingham lad who 'got religion' later in life.

  He went to introduce himself to the Jobots, just to be friendly. (He was wearing his dog collar). He said, 'Hi. I'm Rev Ron, I was invited to come to this funeral.'

  The crowd of Jobots ignored him and one of them said, 'We were invited too.' and left it at that. I spoke to Ron after and he just laughed about it because it displayed 'cult' 100%.

  As JeffT said ,

  They can't set their petty rules aside for five minutes and act like decent people.

  the Jobots just can't let it go. I expect they felt really special being rude to a perfectly respectable bloke. Do they think this will attract people into their cult?

  Thank you all.

  Because of the corruption of the Watchtower Corporation(tm), no way am I letting them in to my family ever again. They can shove their funeral infomercial where the monkey shoves his nuts.

  As for my step sister, if she shuns me, then she can expect to be met with total indifference from me.

  Play Watchtower(tm) games, get stupid prizes.

  Dad went 17 years ago so there's just me now. I have a step sister up in Scotland who is very JW. I didn't contact her as she has shunned me these years so she can now feel the effects of the results of shunning. Anyway, My Mother wasn't her Mother.

  My adult children helped greatly with clearing the bungalow and doing a lot of the admin. There's so much to do.

  We invited her close Jobot friends along with rellies.

  I refused to have a JW funeral because it is no more than a recruitment ad for the filthy, disgusting cult.

  Instead, a family friend (Ex-Catholic), gave a 5 minute Eulogy about Mother's life. He mentioned that she held 'Christian' beliefs. (That's another story). One of my sons read her favourite scripture from a Bible that wasn't a corrupt JW one.

  After the service at the Crematorium, we were escorted to the 'garden of remembrance' to lay flowers and view those already there.

  All the Jobots kept away. No words. No contact at all. During the service they all sat at the very back in a group.....and it doesn't matter to me. Amazing how well the Corporation fear and propaganda works. They can all go and soil their undies for all I care. I guess at least they were there, so there is that.

  So, here we are. Another 'rich tapestry' phase gone through.

  Kozzy - I can agree on most of what this man preaches about the Mark of the Beast.

  If it isn't satire, is he hoping to get paid for this?

  Is he another Bible Grifter?

  Matthew 15:13-14

  13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

  2 Timothy 3:2 (For 'men' read 'the Governing Body of Jehovah's witnesses(tm)).

  For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

  Sign of the Last Days

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the sermon on the mount, jesus foretold that earthquakes “in one place after another” would be part of the sign of the last days clímaxing in the great tribulation.. what could jesus possibly have meant?

  using a phone app nowadays, there are earthquakes detected in one place after another but is this what jesus meant and did they have so many earthquakes throughout the centuries affter his prophecy or are these modern day detected earthquakes unique to this epoch?

  how can we be sure unequivocally that modern day earthquakes are part of the sign fulfilling bible prophecy?.

  It seems that religious people of centuries gone thought the end would be in their time. I get it. The end of all the crap our vile politicians put us through. The end of pain and death.

  We can look all we want. Hope all we want. Convince ourselves all we want.

  I'm just carrying on my life being great and wonderful as usual.

  If you want scripture, Matt 24:36, 'Nobody knows when, Dude!' (Punk's translation).

  I no longer look at these things as 'special privileges(tm)'.

  They are of course all part of the CULT slavery.

  Of course, depending on if they knew I'd been doing the shake and shimmy out of wedlock.

  what's the worst they can take away? Carrying a 'roving mic(tm)'?
