when i left in march officially i started reading the forums here.
i had this excitement that more people would be leaving soon because of the crazy broadcasts, the crazy "new light" that the gb was dishing out, and more recently the australian royal commission lighting up geoffrey.
this past saturday i had an elder stop by to chat for the first time since i left.
Sweetheart, for most it is all they have. They've cut everyone else out of their lives at the bequest of control freaks. They have nothing and no one else.
It's like a woman married to an overly jealous husband. He has her dump all her friends and even family. If and when he becomes abusive, she has nowhere to go and no one to help her. She is isolated.
so i was eagerly (add sarcasm) awaiting the co visit this week.
for once because is less work being at the meeting.
i just have to sit down and listen.
i went for the kh today for personal reasons.
it was pretty dumb, but not horrible.
anyway the speaker used a terrible, but accurate illustration in his gb approved outline.

I came to the realization years ago that the illustrations are used by those who have no clue about the subject of which they are using. Some guy who probably has never been near a horse speaking about training one.
Of course he sounds like a numnut
i do believe islam conflicts with constitution.
your thoughts.
The Constitution doesn't care what religion a President is, it only cares that the Country is not under the control of any religion (or Church). The founders were ensuring that the US wouldn't be similar to Europe (at the time) where the Church controlled the State(s) and it's rulers, persecuted people, etc.
It had a lot to do with England it's kings getting and the then corrupt Popes & their constant meddling for their own greedy purposes. Also the Papacy could be bought in those days and Popes could give New World áreas as possessions to various princes and kings.
Once self determinant, the colonists ensured that no monarchy or Church could overrule or overtly influence elected leaders.

Wow! So he uses Abraham as an example but he completely overlooks the part where God tells him to shut up and "listen to your wife"? I do recall Sarah had a complaint.
Sounds more like a worship the man speech. No thanks.
we all hear this notion of "theocratic warfare", and how it is used to justify jehovah's witnesses to lie or withhold the truth even under oath, based on the reasoning that we don't owe the truth to those who aren't entitled to it.
but, can we put our finger on where this doctrine started?
well, brace yourselves, here it is.
Hitler was a dynamic speaker too ....
Anyhoo, there is no theocratic warfare(TM); it's simply telling lies like Satan.
if this has been posted before - sorry.... the comment that they were dubs comes in the 8th paragraph down.

a tragedy , j w's or not ........
In law enforcement, they are referred to as "collisions", not accidents. Driving around all drunk up isn't an accident.
Q.E.P.D ladies.
soooo...i have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and am scared out of my mind.
in a weak moment, i called my parents and my mom answered.
i start crying as i tell her about my disease, and this woman says to me:.
You'd think you had denied Christ three times or something ... sheesh!
Don't despair, there are people here whose hearts aren't made of stones when you need some help.

allyson lee, who is a missionary in nicaragua, misquoted "a very special scripture" - acts 1:8. she said, "that the good news will be preached to the most distant part of the earth.".
