jehovah's witnesses denied state aid.
Wish there was a handwriting analyst here.
Does this signature say anything to you? It's not just a sloppy writing of the letters. There are no attempts at actually scribing characters. It's just scribble. Is he just too important to actually put his signature to this (and it may not be only this)?

This is sure highlighted at Elders' School. It gives the lowly, successful-at-nothing-else, polyester-suit-wearing, window-washing big shots a Woody and a feeling of being special.
last spring norweigian state refused to give public contribution to jws (religious organisations can apply that in norway and previously wtbs has been granted that).
the decision was caused because of practise of disfellowshpiping.. now there is a new twist.. 25.10.2022 authorites in norway send a letter to wtbs and told them that they have four weeks to fix that practise.
if they don't do that they will loose their status as a religiouse organisation.. intrestingly jws did not "understand" what authorites meant by that and requested more time.. how can they not understand?
Soon you can expect no disfellowshippings in Norway.
There will simply be a lot of "voluntary disassociations because of one's actions or attitudes".
if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.
estephan.
I think you are here to "witness" to us about YOUR religious ideas.
IF SO: Don't go away mad, just go away. Nobody cares.
pimo , as i said i`m going out on a limb here and i might upset some people ,but i really don`t think this is a real strategy that works and doesn`t help the person who is still in.. while you may be doing this to keep the peace in the household and keep relations somewhat stable in the family arrangement ,it`s not helping the person who is still under the control of wt/gb to break free from it ,and isn`t that what you would really like to happen ?.
and are their children involved as well ?
that`s another issue ,the longer they are subject to this control the harder it will be for them to disengage get free.. maybe you should re-evaluate what you could do more to help your partner / spouse or whatever to free themselves from this bondage they have involved themselves in.. [ of course their may be others who are quite happy to have their partners/mates under the control of the wt/gb.
I feel the need to contact the elders in order to explain my circumstances.
Simply explain to the elders that you do not believe in the DFS and "problem solved". They will announce: "Estephan is no longer one of JW's." See there, no more confusion.
yesterday i got a call from the my seven year old sons school.
they told me he was quite sick and should take him home.
of course i am the contact because she makes no effort know where her phone is or if it is even charged.
I'd tell her that her ass is at home the rest of the evening or even rest of the week with the sick kid. Screw the CO visit.
as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.
do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.
Yet, no one seems to remember what was said about 1975. I heard one newly baptized JW comment during the WT Study that his Bible Study instructor told him the claims about 1975 were just Apostate Falsehoods. That WT Conductor (old enough to know the real story) just let the comment stand without any correction.
You tell the lie. I'll swear to it.
The sad fact is you have to be over 60yo to even remember any of the RahRah leading up to 1975. Those who do have either left, or they have decided they have no other place to go since they have so much "invested" in JWism.
do jw's still believe that babylon the great is the empire of false religion?
inquiring minds want to know .
estephan.
As far as I am aware, that is still "current light".
What I have NOT seen is any recent bashing of the UN as the "Image" of the Wild Beast.
bible questions answered.
who were the nephilim?.
the bible account says that “the sons of the true god began to notice that the daughters of men were beautiful.” (genesis 6:2) those ‘sons of god’ were actually spirit creatures who rebelled against god when they “forsook their own proper dwelling place” in heaven, materialized human bodies, and “began taking as wives all whom they chose.”—jude 6; genesis 6:2.. the hybrids born from this unnatural union were no ordinary children.
Nephilim only desired females.
Let's reason this out.
The Nephilim were perfect angelic creatures who materialized as men.
The Nephilim only desired females -- members of the opposite sex from which they had materialized.
Does this not make same-sex attraction a matter of "imperfection"?
[Just kidding! Just kidding! No hate crime committed. I'm just "stirring the shit". Must be bored this morn. But isn't that "logical" JW reasoning?]

repeated fantasies dont magically render them to be facts
OH NO! Does this mean that there really is no Santa Claus?
