by jojorabbit in

biahi - Witnesses should use “comrade” instead of “friends”, seems more fitting.

Or 'fellow unworthy one'.

NZom - the GB closes an update video with ... 'we love you all very much".

What is really mean -

the GB closes an update video with ... 'we love money, booze and abusing children all very much".

I don't think people realise what absolute filth the GovBod (Pee be upon them), really are.

BB - In the U.K. we don’t say “friends“

You beat me to it.

My personal peeves were the buzzwords like...

We appreciate the grand privilege of unity, in this time of the end, as we go our separate ways. So, that's fine, isn't it Brothers(TM)!?!?

what do you guys think....the topic seems to being on fashion lately.

some in the borg told me one time "of course, they are for real, they could be angels, demons".. .

My mom used to say, how do we know there’s intelligent life in outer space?

There's none down here.

Prediction of how Watchtower going to be in 5 Years.

by Foolednomore in

jw
friends

i can see it that watchtower will become an online/tv based group with just con-vention hall$.. field service would be letter writing and phone preaching, door to door is done.. watchtower will have pay to view programs and still ask for donations after all that.. zoom meetings are here to stay.

kingdumb halls will be sold off except for con-vention venues, or need for new ones$.. df'ing will continue.

the craziness will continue.

I imagine the scene. 200 years from now, a born in(TM) (Because there won't be any new converts from outside), asks an Elder(tm), 'When will the end be?'

The Elder replies, 'Soon. No wait. Did you hear that?'

Born in, 'Hear what?'

Elder, 'That sound was the generations overlapping(tm) again. So you'll have to wait, but it'll be very soon now.'

And so, the 14 people left in the organisation(tm), were waiting again.

Whatty - I think the most logical explanation is humans from the future.

Perhaps they can tell us if 'Armageddon(TM)' came or if the 'Overlapping(tm)' is still happening.

What could it be?

by RolRod in

in a previous thread i mentioned how the society took down the pyramid monument at rosemont cemetary in pittsburgh.

well now there's something being built on the same site.

i'm thinking a high watchtower monument.

punkofnice

Perhaps it's an overlapping graveyard.

Can you list the positive points of being a JW as against the negative points of being a JW in your experience ?

by smiddy3 in

i was a twenty y/old when i converted to the jw religion and was a problem drinker and i was a chain smoker .when i was baptized at a circuit assembly a year later , my conversion and change in lifestyle was given as an example of the effectiveness of incidental witnessing to the audience.. so i can point to the 2 positives becoming a jw .. 1.i gave up smoking.

2.i gave up drinking for a while ,but because i still had association with my wife`s and my family who were not jw`s ,i learnt to control my social drinking when i started again.. and i have been a responsible drinker ever since ,even though i left the religion 29 years ago.. the negative points of being a jw in my 32 years of being one ?

are far too great to list here .. love to hear your thoughts..

The Jobots were right about 'man has dominated man to his injury', I give you the virus of unknown origin and the latest tranche of politicians, Presidents and Prime Ministers across the world. All utter filth only worthy of the gallows.

How is the 'Cost of Living Crisis' affecting you?

by nicolaou in

here in the uk we've recently had the price cap on household energy bills raised by around £800 and there'll be another similar raise this autumn.. food prices are up, petrol is around £1.82 per litre - that's $10.37 per gallon for our american friends - and inflation is currently running at 9%.

business are being hit as ordinary folk prioritise their spending.

young folks are effectively priced out of the housing market and wage rises are not keeping pace.. mrs nic' and i are fortunate in that we're both in secure employment and with the kids moved out and mortgage paid off our outgoings are thankfully low.

LUHE - I could count on one hand the number of MPs from those two parties whom I respect.

You had your hands cut off?

I often muse about how the Jobots were right about Politics and 'man dominating man to his injury'.

They are correct about this much at least.

So I'll use my vote to vote for someone else. It probably won't make much of an impact, but there you go ...

I get where you're coming from. I'm going to vote with my 2 fingers but not the Churchill way round.

NOTE: For my American chums, think- 'the bird', except we Brits use 2 fingers. (Repetition for emphasis?).

The Eton toffs have messed things up because 1, they're incompetent and 2, they don't care because they're doing well.

Look at old Wishy Washy Sunak's Missus minting it in from Amazon. Makes me wonder if we were locked down on purpose so that people like them and PPI shares Vallance could profit and to hell with the working class!?!?!

I'm almost convinced of it.

....and don't mention dinghies at Dover......

LUHE - it would help if the people in charge were competent and decent.

When we had a local election here recently. I didn't vote. I honestly could not bring myself to partake in this sham.

For the first time in years, I honestly could not find a political party to vote for. They're all rubbish.

The Conservatives have given up on Conservative values in favour of self serving.

Labour are a bloody joke with their posh imbecilic leader Beer Starmer Piles (protector of paedophiles and knee taker to the fraudulent BLM terrorists), who can't define what a woman is.

...and who are the Lib Dems these days? They seem a bit obscure.

No confidence in any of them. I couldn't even vote tactically.

At least by not voting I can't be blamed when the part I voted for messes up the economy again.
