  so some ex-jws and i were at dinner last night talking about how some of the ones baptized this year were so young.

  a few under the age of 10!!

  can you imagine if a kid got dfd at that age.... would the congregation shun them?

  shunning a child? That is child abuse..

  I recall seeing a little girl baptized and she was about nine..

  over the past few days i have twice visited screwfix - a uk nationwide company which sells tools & fixings.. on my first visit, i informed the store assistant of the item i required.

  she immediately said, "post-code?".

  i informed her that it was a cash sale and there was no need to give information.

  this last tuesday was one of the most stressful and sad days of our life when we had our lab morgan put to sleep.

  she was so sick and out of it we just had to do it.

  when i called the spca on monday to make a appointment to have her put to sleep i felt like i betrayed her.

  i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.

  i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?

  i've already found several by reading older posts..

  a flag if the poster is happy with it under the avatar would be a good idea.

  when i walked into a large b&q diy store, a big guy in an orange overall came right up to me and said, "do you want decking?".

  OCT 2019 Watchtower - Survival dependant on loyalty to JW Leaders

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.

  what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.

  since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.

  "There's also a picture in this magazine of Jesus coming with the Angels and 144,000 to destroy the wicked policemen who are about to shoot at the JWs. The JWs are all dressed in meeting clothes."

  This publication will not go down well with the Police.. anywhere..

  so they are going to be so organised to what?

  • go public witnessing when (perhaps) there is social upheaval and its life dangerous to do so?
  • to see fellow jw are safe and fed?
  • 
    

  are they saying they will be no longer around but ruling (gasp!) from heaven? whats that? Move over Jesus.
