  Having been asked to prepare and present a General Knowledge inter-pub quiz, I decided to include a question relating to JW's. There were 12 teams in all, 4 persons to each team. This was the question:

  Category: Eternal flame. Question 1. Which religion foretold that the year 1975 would mark the beginning of the Battle of Armageddon and that the small number of survivors would go on to enjoy eternal life?

  5 teams answered Jehovah's witnesses

  2 teams answered Mormons.

  2 teams left the quiz at half time

  1 team answered the Aztecs

  1 team answered Exeter City Football Club

  1 left the question blank

  Quite what I should make of all that is something I shall ponder over for a while..

  folks: regarding all the recent changes about dis-fellowshipping and time for re-instatement.

  (and, even speaking to persons who are dis-fellowshpped.

  ) back in 1972, a new book was released at the summer district convention, that replaced the yellow-colored "lamp": book.

  Yes. I remember them retracting their retraction and the extra hurt it caused many who had just re-established some limited contact with their families.

  My family aren't able to grow beards!!! In fact, my grandfather was instructed to grow a moustache during WW1. He managed a respectable 12 hairs in all and was told that six a side was only permissible in soccer games.

  JWLITE

  by Teddnzo in

  even elders can be part of the new jw lite brigade these days.

  they don’t need to go on door to door anymore and there is no requirement for anything really.. taking meeting parts is all dead easy you could turn up on the day with zero preparation because it’s all in the meeting workbook.. quarterly elders meetings are just old men having a good old natter just like old men do down the pub.. congregations could be likened to pubs or bars these days just without the drinks, those come at other times.. no need for territory maps, these almost went away with covid letter writing now they are extremely slow getting finished as those who still go door to door only do ten mins.. you could even voice your questions these days about things the gb say and then just say “we can’t be dogmatic we just don’t know”.

  i predict they will say this about 1914 soon..

  Would JW LITE permit one to get one's leg over occasionally?

  Does he really have a sex problem ?

  by ozziepost in

  2. scandals

  like many, i’ve been bemused at lloyd evan’s excuses/reasons for his lusting after prostitutes.

  apparently, as he claims in his disastrous video, he blames his wife for being inadequate between the sheets.. could the real answer to his ‘problem’ be closer to home?.

  perhaps if he consulted a medical person or even a sex therapist he may learn his “problem” is not down to the borg at all, it may simply be caused by his weight i.e.

  Helpguide.org has much to say about Narcissistic Personality Disorder such as Lloyd Evans displays.
