  Epic! Thank you for finding this. Do you know if they really had a hidden stage to protect the GB or is that your own opinion?

  Reading the Bible in 6 months isn't "anything to brag about" - Anthony Morris

  by mac n cheese in

  the 2015 annual meeting, specifically, part 1, right about minute 27, has anthony morris emphasizing that "you're better off reading one chapter (of the bible) and really absorbing it" than just reading the whole thing "as a challenge".

  while i agree with the the whole idea of meditating on anything you read, it was doing this very thing that brought up so many unanswered questions.

  i also came to the constant realization that the jws did not have a clue about what the bible really said.

  Before I got baptized I was forced to read the whole Bible by my father and because I wanted to make them happy I did. I read it from cover to cover in less than a year. Reading it was on the best things I did because now I have no doubt that the Bible is nothing but a book written by misogynists, narcissists, bigots, goat herders high on power trips and abuse and that the old testament is nothing like the new testament. Finally, this book of bloodshed and insanity ends with a man who was high as a kite, eating scrolls, cutting his beard into little pieces and writing the craziest fantasy ending of all time. Stephen Lett can go fuck himself.

  Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?

  a year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.

  world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.

  so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

  I am sorry if I seem overly emotional about this topic but it is very dear to me because I am close to my family in Europe. I did not even read the article and I can not say how much of it is true or not so I will send this link to my family and see if they can verify it.
  

  My family on this side of the pond are mostly JDubs and shun me as if I do not exist. I have gotten over it mostly but it still hurts. My Dfing has proven who are my true family and friends. So I did not come here to talk much about off topic topics but this one is something that affects me personally. It is so easy for someone in the comfort of their own home behind their computer sitting there with the alarm system on to say that every European country should open their borders to everyone who claims to be a refugee but I guarantee that sentiment always changes when they are personally affected by it.
  

  I lived with my cousins in Germany in 2010 before this whole thing started. I am very much a big hearted person and I love to help people. It is in my nature to be this way. So when there are real legitimate refugees then I would love to help and even maybe donate something to help them. But this whole situation, the way it suddenly appeared raises many questions which makes me think if this is a plot to break down the homogeneous European society. I mean the war in Syria, in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan has been going on for many years now but only now suddenly everyone decides to come all at once like they got an open invitation? And why are these people traveling 4000 miles to Europe when they can go 600 miles to Turkey or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or UAE where they already speak Arabic or Farsi and have similar customs and the same religion? Europe is a Christian and secular continent with a variety of different languages and culture that are nothing like where these refugees are coming from. And also why is that 90% of these refugees are men? Where are the whole families? Why did Saudi Arabia reject taking more than a few hundred Syrians but offer to give Germany over 2 Billion euros to build 200 Mosques? It makes no sense to me. And why is Russia the one country that is really going after ISIS in Syria while the USA and Saudi Arabia are backing the rebels to overthrow Assad? And why does Germany and Sweden not simply verify the identity of these refugees while in their own countries instead of letting them travel illegally thousands of miles across Europe and then claim to have no paperwork with them? Again something is not right with this whole picture. And it has my family in Europe asking the same questions as I. As my aunt says we should not allow our altruism to blind our reasoning and sense. Sensationalism or not this is a crisis of epic proportions.

  here is an idea i tested.

  works at both assemblies and conventions.

  i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

  I do not think I will ever step foot into another kingdumb hall ever again but this is still a very promising idea if anyone here is willing to try it. Just to disrupt a meeting is worth it IMO.

  Hague court stops tax free status for Scientologists

  http://www.nltimes.nl/2015/10/22/hague-court-deals-blow-to-scientology-tax-free-status/.

  from the article -"the dutch branch of the church of scientology has lost its tax status as public welfare institution, and the tax benefits that go along with it, in a ruling made by the court in the hague on wednesday.

  the court decided that the sales of the churchs expensive courses and therapy sessions are clearly aimed at making a profit, and thus it does not belong on the tax authorities charity list.".

  Gawd it would be awesome if they took away the status of the Jdub WT cult! I am taking classes in finance right now and we are learning about the tax code. A lot of these churches claim to be exempt through small tax loops in the law. The JDub cult should never be allowed tax exempt status for the basis that they do zero charity work. Their charity work is only for insiders and sometimes when they see a good opportunity for a news bite for publicity they will do it. Maybe someone can look into getting them off the tax exempt list?

  I have a lot of family in Sweden and Germany. Actually probably half of my family live there now that I think of it. They are not JDubs and I do whatsapp with my cousins and aunts and nieces. This exact topic comes up almost everyday. So my one cousin lives just outside of Malmo. She told me that it is getting really bad and the native Swedish do not feel comfortable in their own country. Rape is the biggest concern since rape is exploding over there. Even in small villages because the politicians wants to put these immigrants everywhere there is space. So they will often find an old school or gym hall and put like 500 of them in a town that only has 200 people.

  Two or three months ago a 14 year old girl was raped by a Somalian dog in a small town and the police only gave him a light sentence of community service or something. My aunt says that it is very difficult to own a gun unless you are a hunter and then it is very regulated so almost nobody has a gun. But it is ironic cuz there is a lot of gun violence in the cities by the immigrant gangs. For some reason they always have guns. So now the people in their village are joining hunting clubs so they can get permits for guns.
  

  Now in Germany it is very similar but getting almost as bad. Also there it is very difficult to own guns but people are trying to get guns anyways and say it is for hunting like in Sweden. When they say hunting they mean hunting the rapists and this is good because the police are overwhelmed. And just like in Sweden the police are not allowed to report the crimes of the immigrants because the politicians feel it will prove the right political parties right about this topic and give them more supporters. Bottom line the people are scared to death. I fear for my cousins and nieces who are younger than me.

  Yes I kissed a girl and I loved it! I have been able to explore my sexuality in so many ways now and it brings such balance to my life. I am what you call a nymphomanic. I need sex. It is more than a drug for me it is like air and water. I would not have lasted that long as a JDub to be honest so it had to be the way it was. Sorry my parents can't accept that and who I am. but I am glad it happened when I was still young so I could enjoy the best years. I think everyone should embrace their sexuality no matter what they are. Just be YOU! We are sexual creatures made to enjoy sex, not repress it!

  Thanks everybody for the kind words. here is another place I can be myself and not have to hide it like I had to do when I was going to meetings with everybody judging me. They didn't even know me!
  

  Yes I am going to college now as sophomore. I was kicked out of my house when I was 18 (cuz I was Dfd) but I already had some "worldly" friends who let me room with them and since I am on a full paid scholarship I have little expenses right now. I am very goal oriented. I turned this bad situation into a good one. It sucks not having my family support me when I need them but they showed their true colors. A bunch of goody 2 shoe drones who think the governing body is the last and final word on the Bible. I would love to sue this cult for ruining my family. We were so happy when we were Catholic. Not that being Catholic made us happy just that there were no rules of men to tear us apart!

  Proof the GB is right about the Generation teaching.

  by hardtobeme in

  this is jesus explaining the generation teaching just as splane did it.

  this is proof that the gb has jehovah's blessings.. there you can see peter and the other disciples paying close attention to what jesus is saying.

  but they had to wait till 1914, franz appearance and 3 kind of anointed ones.
