yeah, so shamima begum's challenge has failed.. the ruling body has declared that the home secretary's stripping of her citizenship in 2016 was lawful.. there are some people who say she was somehow 'groomed' but this is complete bullshit.

she was no more groomed by isis than a 15 year-old kid, who sees an advert for chocolate and then goes out and buys a chocolate bar is being groomed by cadbury's, or whatever.. glad to see common sense has won out this time.. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/22/shamima-begum-loses-appeal-removal-british-citizenship.

Details of Noah’s Ark

by enigma1863 in

jw magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.. is it detailed?

enigma - JW magazines have claimed the flood story has so much detail that it couldn’t be just a made up story.

Well, they would. The Jobots will agree without question. They really are good little sheeple, aren't they. Brainwashing from the Corporation(tm) has worked wonders.

As long as TOMO can get his whiskey and stay drunk, slurring his words and staggering about, the Corporation(tm) will continue to spew it's excrement.

How did it come to this?

by New day in

i am now in my early 60’s.

i was baptized in 1980. i served as a ministerial servant and an elder.

i gave my all for many years but about eight years ago i started to question many things.

Newy - It is with profound sadness that I look back on my life as a Witness and now I am basically a non-entity
This is how I have felt.

My story in a nutshell. Born into the cult. Pioneered. Minny man then Elder. As an Elder I realised it was just a cult. A dangerous one at that. Because I didn't want to be a Jobot anymore, my wife left me with 2 of the 3 kids. 1 was a minor. It was hell!

She's now re-married to another Jobot....not sure if it was 'approved(tm)' by the cult because there was hardly anyone at the wedding, I'm told.

Here I am, a non entity. Nearly retired. Single. No prospect of it changing at my age because I basically don't trust relationships anymore.

So. What do I do?

I go to work full time. I play in a fairly successful local band where the Covid over-reaction by Government thing has destroyed many venues where we used to play. I am in a local Viking re-enactment group.

I have lovely grandkids. 3 speak Polish as a 2nd language. Another one on the way.

Somehow, none of this seems enough.

It is with profound sadness that I look back on my life as a Witness and now I am basically a non-entity.................like you said.

Sundays watchtower dealt mostly about coping with the pandemic.

now that it's all but over, looks like jehovah's fast moving chariot pulled in the station 2 years too late!😂.

WTW - Are you sure that chariot isn't being drink-driven?

I'm very sad to hear about this. A life lost. Someone who had the best of intentions but is now gone.

I thought I'd heard of another story like this too.

Of course, the Watchtower Corporation(tm) will not care one iota. As long as TOMO3rd can drink his whiskey and stagger around all day slurring his words in a drunken stupor, the Corporation(tm) won't care.

It saddens me, it honestly does.

If death is the result of sin, why do animals die?

by Orgull in

my first week of posts here were very serious and all the wonderful, encouraging replies helped me very much.. so now i want to ask something semi-frivolous.

(actually it's one of the many things that don't make sense to me about "the truth").

why do animals die?.

punkofnice

think people do not believe in God, religion or sin.

somehow, that makes more sense to me.

The rest is
