watching Kim and Mikey is a bit like watching Kath and Kim (ozzie comedy) I really think his ranting and screaming is a real turnoff. I just skip on till the scene changes and the ranting stops.

Australia Bethel is in a major downsizing exercise almost all staff being set up as Pioneers and doing Bethel work when called on.

No doubt prepping for a sale of the Bethel. No Bethel No money to payout for abuse cases

Only Jehovah's Witnesses

by Vanderhoven7 in

what do you think of this rant?.

“jehovah's witnesses are the only true religion.

this is demonstrated by a slew of true teachings that only jehovah could have revealed to his servants on earth.

Why remove John 8:1-11 in the NWT if these verses speak highly of Jesus

by I_love_Jeff in

i understand these verses were removed in the nwt as well as some other bibles because they were added later & considered uninspired.

jesus protected an adultress so why remove it?

it fits in nicely with his teachings, does it not?

Jerome on John 8:1-11 (386 A.D.)

Jerome makes a very good rationale why verses 1 to 11 should be included.. He argues against Pelaguis and his teaching on the need for penance and paying for release of sin and in the end the Roman catholic church won and of course they would not want to have the free gift of forgiveness of sin, so out with John 8 1-8.and the manuscripts that contained it. Jerome had a huge collection of scrolls and religious writing. There is a very interesting read here. enjoy

JW stopped me in the street.....

by Phizzy in

he pulled up in his car beside me and asked for directions, then he recognized me, we used to be in the same congo.. the usual pleasantries, i gave him directions, and then "when are you going to come back then" he asks.. "never" i say, "well, it has all changed" he says, " it's not like it used to be" i detect a tone of regret.. "but you know there is nowhere else to go" he boldly proclaims.. "yes there is !

" say i, "there is somewhere where you can find truth, and truth is supported by facts and evidence ".

he had to drive off then as he was blocking a narrow street, i did not get time to say " go to jw facts.com", i will tell him next time..

From what I've heard, they have the words for the song played on their screens. Apparently, it's to encourage them to sing more heartily.

But they haven't managed to get the bouncy ball thingie going yet

Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.

i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.

he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

When I found out about the opulent lifestyle of The Judge E.G. the Judge rode around in a 12 cylinder Caddy and his pioneers pushed horse drawn buggy's private cooks and handmaidens his separation from his wife and son and as outlined by wild_thing and that this opulence has carried on til now,

Trump falls into insignificance he will be gone soon but the rich and famous of the WT but the personality parallels are so amazing. I really can not understand how the American people can tolerate him.
