what's with all this new kingdom hall building?
just watched jw broadcasting about their master plan for building new kingdom halls.
sounds like a big deal.
It's like you read my mind PANHANDLE GIRL!
I was just thinking, has anyone either seen or even heard of one of these new style halls going up?
The local hall was supposed to get one -- they're "at the top of the list"-- but alas NOTHING has materialized and the start dates continue to get pushed off 4-6 months into the future.
the past week has been hell for me.
my mother started feeling ill and we went to seek medical assistance.
we live in the mountains and the nearest large hospital is about 150 kms away.
COOKIEMASTER - glad everything worked out for you and your mom. You both made the right choice.
To be honest, I looked at the title of your thread and thought "I only WISH JWs would kill my mother!"
Sorry if that sounds morbid, but I suppose you can tell I'm not a big fan of my mother.
i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.
Well, I don't care whether it's a gold, silver or purple Apple watch.
Thing is. . . .
I CAN'T AFFORD A FUCKIN' APPLE WATCH, PERIOD.
WHY IN THE HELL IS ONE OF CHRIST'S (yeah, that guy who didn't have a place to lay his head) BROTHERS SPORTING AN APPLE WATCH?
let me start off by saying i do not presume to have the answers, i am merely offering advice.. i will preface this posting with this, cutting a long story short:.
my sister was raped by a popular jw lad wh's dad happen to be a rock star elder.
in the attempt to fight him off his face was covered with scratches and it was reported to the police ( instead of rape he was sentenced on the lesser charges of sexual battery and assault) but he confessed to having violent, consentual sex.
All those years my mom was beside herself, not because she had no communication with her youngest son, but because she could not get me under her control.
Sounds like you had a whack job mother like I did. You were fortunate to get away young. . . . I hung around for years, and it wasn't until my wife pointed out how I was being manipulated left and right by her that I finally saw what was going on and cut ties.
Very interesting story, SSC.
at 20:00 - 21:30 in his testimony, mr. geoffrey jackson - in answer to mr. stewart's question about the governing body claiming to be god's spokespersons - claimed that it would be presumptuous of them to say that they were the only spokespersons which god was using.
mr. jackson doesn't seem to know what he and his fellow g.b.
members - and the providers of his lifestyle, the wtbts - actually teach as "bible truth.
me personally.....i think....if it was meant to be mixed ...it would come in the bottle that way.. that said...bacardi gold.
In honor of the ARC, by new favorite drink is Foster's 😎
so i ran into this brother whom ive known for a while and the conversation led into me being invited to come back to the kingdom hall.
we talked for about an hour during which time i explained to him 607 being the wrong date and a lot of other stuff including the child abuse cases in australia.
but what i wanted to relate was the last few minutes of our conversation.
Yeah, that is a pretty disheartening conversation, JOHN AQUILA.
But in the end if someone wants that crap, by all means they can have at it.
"sadly, though, most [pedophiles] go unpunished by authorities today.
in australia, for example, it has been estimated that only 10 percent of offenders are prosecuted, and few are convicted.
other lands have had a similar record.
I see the public demand happening in Australia over what Watchtower has done with reports of child molestation. My hope is that the same scrutiny occurs in other societies, communities and nations. .. ..
. .. . and "lands," please don't forget the "lands." 😉
well in a month where i had a friend of 20 years tell me "we can't kick it no mo" because i no longer go to meetings, i had an even older friend who is coming to visit me, call me and tell me hes out.. currently a high profile ms who gives talks out all over the place, the elders said they are recommending him for appt to the body in sep when the co is coming through.
but nope......hes about to step down all together.. what did it?
because i am not disfellowshipped, and soft peddle my issues with the org, i was able to speak to him about things like blood, and a couple other things.
PROBLEM2 - Great great great great news! Especially good to hear his wife "is loyal to him" and not the org. Doesn't get better than that.
👍👍👍
hey all,.
have you seen the new video on http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/activities/living-bible-principles/adult-survivor-child-abuse-video/ ?.
isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Wow. They have a lot of fuckin nerve to put this out there right now. . . .
So let me get this straight:
Will Jehovahs witnesses ever involve women in the decision making process in the congregation?
NO
Will Jehovah's witnesses put aside the 2 witness rule in cases of abuse?
NO
Then what will Jehovah's witnesses do in response to the royal commission?
Publish a three minute propaganda piece.
