  Now remember that 1/2 of them are even DUMBER than "average".

  Harry appears to be a pussy-whipped fool.

  Megan appears to be wearing the pants and calling the shots. I really doubt that her talents as a B-TV Movie actress will get her any more "stardom" than she could have attained as the #2 Princess but I guess she doesn't like 2nd place. Lots of class -- but all "low class".

  When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

  i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.

  i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.

  i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

  At least five years here. Probably closer to 7 years.

  I bumped into a JW "friend" one day who said, "I hear you guys are missing a lot of meetings?"

  My reply was, "You are misinformed. We have not missed ANY of the meetings!" And left it at that.

  The greatest revenge is living a happy and successful life.

  Is there a renewed iemphasis on the "go bag" in the past mont or so?

  my soon to be ex moved out over a year ago.

  he left most of his things here ( i guess he thinks of my house as his personal storage unit).

  one thing he left was his survival backpack, i assume his "go bag".

  Not sure where you live. Here in the USA, we just went through a winter disaster in many US States (surely you've read about Texas losing power to over 4 million) and Texas is where most of the oil in the US is produced. That's just one area that had serious weather issues. So,,,,,,,,,,,I suspect WTS has been ramping up the urgency to have your Go Bag ready. (Guess you damn well better have snow chains and lots of Kerosene in it?)

  I'm giving up Coke Zero and now drinking Grape Nehi. Does that make me "less white"?

  Do old time present day active JW`s genuinely believe in overlapping generations ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for the life of me i can not come to terms with old timers in the "truth" who could swallow this interpretation of scripture about an overlapping generation .. when jesus spoke about "this generation" .

  are their any real bible students among younger ones any more ?.

  here are 3 bible scriptures that confirm a generation is approximately 40- 50 years long give or take a few years .. 1. matt:1 :17 abraham born 2016-18 bc jesus born 2 bc approx.

  To me it appears that the overlapping argument allow them another hundred years or so to play with.

  Nah! The Great Trib is "imminent"!

  We are in the last minutes of the final day of the Last Days!

  If [John Cedars] produced a 3 and a half hour video on the topic. . . .

  That sounds about right. He evidently really likes to hear himself talk. Most of his videos could be summarized in 10 minutes and he'd get 10x the listeners.

  Do You Think Trump Is Done?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  certain forces appear to be trying to make sure donald trump never runs for president again.

  some republicans are clearly abandoning trump and of course the democratic press has been saying trump is done!

  is trump’s goose cooked?

  I think Trump will continue to be a huge influence in the Party. I think he will play a role in the 2022 elections for congress and I expect him to especially attempt to "overthrow" GOP House members that shunned him.

  If he suggests that he might form a 3rd Party for the 2024 presidential election, that will shake up some in the GOP because they know they cannot win a damn thing if the Trump base deserts the GOP. (Not that the GOP will ever win the White House again with Dominion managing the vote.) Otherwise don't be surprised if Don, Jr. tosses his hat into the ring with Hawley and Haley and 20 other wanna-be narcissistic candidates.
