smiddy -
too many things that just didn`t add up
For me it was like one of those rubber band balls they make in the office. One day, it was like Alexander the Great cutting the Gordium knot. The whole ball just flew apart in all directions.
I went to a Baptist Church, put 2 quid in the coffers and whispered, 'Bollox to you, Governing Body!'

this is not a joke.

smid - Maybe he could even do it before he dies so he can cash in on it while he`s still alive ?
Perhaps Lloyd Evans can give him some tips. (But not fashion ones).
the twos 2000-2022….. is that why do so many people put on tattoos?
or are there other reasons?
i can’t understand it.
Ah, OK. I thought it was Cockney Rhyming slang at first. Although, I don't know if there is a Cockney rhyme for Tattoo.
Probably something like, Train to Bakerloo (or Waterloo).
'E's 'avin' a bleedin' train on his leg, ain't 'e?
Cockney
Not a Cockney

Dodgy Knees - He's got to divert that sex drive somewhere
I hate to say it but he does look like a certain type of 'pest'. The type of 'pest' the Watchtower(tm) protects.

v for vidiot - No single individual thing initially
That's probably a lot of our stories, too.
i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.
apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.
his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..
Apparently, Joe Biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the White House.
Maybe. But he won't know.
The state of American politics (what I see of it), shows me that Biden is just a front...a sock puppet they roll out as a representation of a President.
How can anyone take him seriously? Well. Some in that tribe do because they need a figurehead to look up to.
My 2 penneth........Politicians are all extreme filth and frauds. We are led by donkeys.

I imagine each tatt owner has their own explanation.
Some don't have the spelling correct. That amuses me.
The twos 2000-2022….
This bit is lost on me I don't understand it. What have I overlooked?
"the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.
therefore, it can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction".
i know this subject been talked about before.
The Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them), don't care. They're only promoting their fake religion that is a thin disguise for a big Business, for their own personal ends.
Thus, they get to have it any way they want, depending upon which gives them money, assets and the ability to protect their like minded paedophiles.

Because I was all about Jesus and the JWs thought I was wrong for this.
The final straw was because, as an elder(tm), I saw the corrupt business side of it all. No love. No Jesus. Just callous following of rules for the financial benefit of the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them).
here’s a couple good ones: a. jesus said, “come to me and i will give you rest”.. why did jesus command us to go to him and not jehovah?.
why does the bible say that the name of jesus is above every name?

Blotty - since you dont seem to just want to do a simple google search for scholarly articles
How passive aggressive of you.
Im compiling those links
How quaint. Compile away. I'm not here to 'compile'. An if it's so 'simple' as you say, don't be rude about it. Just do it yourself. I'm not here to puke Bible critique. I responded to the OP, not you
That it doesn't fit in with your view is fine. I really don't care. It's less than meaningless to me.
I do have better things to do. Just don't be so rude, please.
