  Yes. Where is he?

  Oh, wait......that's me!

  It's nice to be missed.

  Several reasons I haven't been here.

  I don't need reminding of the JWs anymore. They're a distant memory that I no longer identify with........or want to. That is no longer me.

  After Mum died I saw how FM the troll used my pain to score attention seeking points along with a PM from another poster chiding me for my reaction. I don't need trolling from fake JWs or fake ex-JWs.

  A lot of the threads about JWs are meaningless to me now because the cult has changed almost beyond recognition.

  Lastly, my internet at work won't let me on this site anymore and I don't like using my phone with my eyesight. I am usually too tired to be bothered with going on the internet after work. I usually get more involved in family visits now that I have a new grandkiddie.

  The band is no more.

  I am just getting on with life i guess.

  Thanks for all the best wishes.

  Regards Paul

  The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

  the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

  11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

  or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

  The money you'd spend on Birthday gifts and such.........the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), want it.

  They need to continue to protect their like minded perverts in lawsuits.

  here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.

  when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.

  was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?

  Are Jw's God's Organization?

  No. Nor is anyone else.

  Since when did 'organisation(tm)' make it into the Bible?

  We're all individuals and have different values. Ex-JWs aren't a hive mind.

  Perhaps the fake religion of Watchtower corporation(tm) would imply or say that Ex-JWs are all bad and go off the rails. What balderdash. Life is not that black and white.

  Covid Vx likened to Jesus ransom

  by KerryKing in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this morning i decided to log into the local cong meeting on zoom, during the public talk the speaker likened the covid vx to jesus ransom sacrifice, saying that those who didn't avail of the vx, the 'anti vaxxers', are just like people who refuse to put faith in jesus.. i felt sick, knowing my unvxed but active jw parents were sitting there, i logged off immediately.

  surely such talk is pure blasphemy or am i just over reacting?!.

  i appreciate your thoughts, it will hopefully help me to approach my jw family with facts and logic, i'm praying they wake up fully and 'get out of her', i know they have reservations that's why they refused the vx..

  There's your problem.

  There's always some 'dunning-kruger' head talking cobblers at the meetings(tm),

  PIMI wife told to go against her husband and take the vaccines?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a pimi sister has been told by her unbelieving husband not to take these experimental vaccines then what is official jw policy in this situation?.

  should she go against her husband and tell him i will do what the men at my church tell me?.

  what on earth will the husband think then?

  Were this a real scenario, I'd question their relationship. But even then, it'd be none of my business

  Confirmation that religion is dying.

  by Phizzy in

  2. beliefs

  this is from a site called "atheist republic" :.

  " the phenomenon of "nones" — individuals who claim no religious affiliation — is rapidly reshaping america's religious landscape.

  recent surveys by the associated press-norc center for public affairs research indicate that 30% of u.s. adults identify as nonreligious.

  On the other hand, I've known a couple of people yearning for 'Christian values' in a reaction against the so called 'woke' agenda. Now, whether this means they'll be getting 'religion' or not, only they know. It did interest me though.

  Christian values.....might mean different things to different peeps.

  hello my friends,.

  here are some encouraging scriptures for the day:.

  revelation 21:2 i also saw the holy city, new jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from god and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.. hebrews 11:10 for he (abraham) was awaiting the city having real foundations, whose designer and builder is god.. revelation 21:24 and the nations will walk by means of its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.. revelation 22:1 and he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of god and of the lamb 2 down the middle of its main street (of the holy city).

  Psalm 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

  I don't know about encouraging but this one made me laugh out loud when I read it
