Can't say I ever noticed that here in the UK.
Yes. There were some that were late for things but usually everyone was quite punctual.
Is it a cultural thing where you are in the world??
Puctuality?

puctuality..
by zachias ina small incident happened to me today that has triggered me to say this.. how many of you have seen that jw are fairly hopeless and being anywhere on time.. an obvious one is the families that never miss a meeting and never miss arriving late with resultant fuss.
.
but in day to day things as well.arriving late for a paid job.. leaving early, ditto.. not turning up for a bbq without even a phone call.. being in all things disorganized.. and, how many of you have seen the above become the norm in people once they become jw that were not that way before....

Yep. Welcome. Approach with an open mind, not what some person in a funny hat says.

I did like 'HELP' and 'A Hard day's Night' when they came out. I'm not sure I'd feel the same way now but it was nice to see Wilfred Brambell in one.
I still love 'Yellow Submarine' because it's totally nuts and more of a stoner film.
Billy Liar was one I enjoyed

Astra x 2 Booster = Moderna.
I have had 3 pricks in me.
Still that's not good enough for the powers that be. I think they're either drunk on power or total imbeciles.

I went to the cinema to see 2001 when it first came out about 1969. I thought it was epic and mysterious.
Easy Rider bored me to tears. I think partially because I'm not interested in America or it's culture. Most of my choices are therefore more Brit based because I relate to that.
Films from the 60s I love and watch over and over...in no particular order...
The Time Machine
Up the Junction
the Devil Rides Out
Quatermass and the Pit
The Hammer Dracula filmsI
The Cushing Dalek films...good fun

Funniest insults
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i was wondering what are the funniest insults i've heard/been called.. the woman who taught me the arabic alphabet did a lesson about insults in colloquial palestinian arabic.. the one that stuck out to me was iniqbir or ini'bir.
literal meaning: bury yourself.
"go and bury yourself".

What are the maim lies Apostates tell about Jehovah's Witnesses?
by Vanderhoven7 inmain not maim.
picked this answer up on quora.
please add other apostate "lies" you are aware of.. "jehovah's witnesses cannot refute the facts in the so-called “ lies” against them, and when they do, they shamelessly lie and tell half-truths to defend their mind-controlling sect.. their new york based leaders tell them that anything negative said about their sect is a “ lie “ from “ mentally diseased, bitter apostates”.. jws are yet to come to terms with the fact that we are in the information age and they can no longer get away with lying to protect their organisation.. for example, one of the “ lies “ told about them is that they shun anyone who leaves the cult , including family members, including their own children.. another “ lie “ is that jws are ready to allow their children to die rather than accept a life-saving blood transfusion.. the child sex abuse coverup in the cult is also said to be a “lie “.

Let's be honest. The Jobots need we 'mentally diseased apostates(tm)' so that they can have an imaginary enemy to fight in their fantasy land.
Who else can they fight that's tangible?

One of the big Apostate "lies" is that Jehovah's Witnesses don't help the poor.
Let's put it this way, when I started attending a Baptist church (it felt like home), I joined the 'soup kitchen'. This meant that we prepared food and drinks and took them to a car park in a van.I felt like I was actually doing the 'Lord's work' because I was in that mindset.
My then JW wife, who left because I became a Baptist, said, "Those people don't need food, they need the Watchtower and Awake!"
Jaw dropping comment. It shows the mentality of not wanting to give practical help. I was shocked by her response. Oh, well, she married another Jobot now, so good riddance to bad rubbish.
