They are going to create a "Museum" of stuff at H.Q, and maybe other Bethel Homes ? They are asking for stuff from the early 20th Century mainly, I bet the exhibits are carefully chosen ! so much embarrassing stuff went on under Rutherford.
They have asked for pre 1700 Bibles ? supposedly to make it look as though there is a link between the JW org and the producers of such Bibles, which there is not. Of course , once donated, they could always flog 'em off later.
when i see watchtower videos or interviews i can’t help but notice how bland and boring jws really are!
they are so vanilla.
no excitement, just robotic conversation.. what the hell happened to these people?
I remember remarking to an Elder about 25 years or more ago, that at any one meeting 25% of the potential attendees were missing, not always the same people, but the same percentage.
He replied " Yes, that is because the Meetings are SO boring".
They were, in the main, even back then, now they must be so bad that if I sat through one, my brain would melt and run out of my ears.
They must be finding it well nigh impossible in the affluent World at least, to make a convert from the Public. If people are not engaged by something, they move on to something they do find interesting.
most people over the generations have taken pride in their heritage, nationality and country they are from.
it’s not uncommon to hear of “proud” italians and proud irish people , as an example.
are you proud of your country and your nationality or do you feel shame or indifference?.
I love the Countryside, the open spaces, the forests, the moors, the sea shores of where I live. I was born in England, I find nothing to be proud of in my Country's History.
I am ashamed of what it has become in recent times, it has allowed Xenophobic Racists to give vent to their nasty ideas and feelings, because the Government itself fosters these things by being Xenophobic and Racist and those in Society who would have hidden this dark side to their character, now feel O.K with giving full exposure for their feelings and beliefs.
There are many good people here, many who feel the same shame as me, let us hope we eventually are able to get a Government that reflects our values of being Humanitarians, who are part of one Race, the Human Race, and part of a Nation that needs to co-operate with other Nations to tackle the problems the World faces.
i live with my parents in law and yesterday, my mother in-law was very nervous about an email she got from the brothers in her congregation.
it was asking if she would be able to receive people over at our house should there be a catastrophe.
so, she asked me if i would agree with this.
Does anyone else think the "Go Bags" of the Governing Body are full of Cash and Pass books to bank Accounts held in the Cayman Islands or similar ?
They KNOW that Armageddon is a Fiction, so are probably well prepared for when the brown stuff hits the fan and they have to disappear.
can anyone remember the reasoning the watchtower gave for jesus speaking these words?
if you have a reference that would be even better!.
From memory the Gospel writer tells it that there was some doubt among the eye witnesses as to what Jesus actually said, so analysis seems a bit silly.
If these words were actually spoken by Jesus, then Pistolpete's explanation makes sense.
The Poster "waton" above points to the real nature of the Gospels, i.e Fictions to make it seem that Jesus fulfilled what the Gospel Writers perceived to be Messianic prophecies in the O.T, and which, in the main were not of course.
notice that i left off "benevolent" .
reason being is because i could argue that being all knowing and all powerful is not a prerequisite of being "good".
yet i'm a firm believer that "something didn't come from nothing".
What form would this Benevolence take from a Deity that is not omnipotent and omniscient ? merely the act of starting off creation ? or more ?
If she or he is not omnipotent or omniscient and has limited ability in acts of benevolence, then why call her god ?
so, these past few days have been absolute heaven for me.
because matt hancock, the poster boy for lockdowns, the government minister who lectured us on whom to hug and where we could hug, has been caught in flagrante with his mistress, ms gina coladangelo, a hot little piece of ass.
i'm guessing he's done a lot more than just hugging.. i wonder if he's finger-banged her yet?
He has a long list of misdemeanours and some criminal activity allegedly. He should have been SACKED for allowing Covid to spread, in fact causing it to spread, in Care Homes, for his dodgy PPE Contracts ....... and the list goes on.
The problem for Bodybag Johnson the Prime Minister is that he is equally guilty of a lot of this too, so a way to get rid of Wankock had to be found, or more likely engineered.
Notice it is only a resignation, this corrupt sack of shit could be back in the Cabinet in no time. If not, no doubt he will be elevated to the Lords. We are Ruled by a Corrupt Mafia.

The other idea you raise is that there must be a First Cause. I agree that there must be something that always existed, before our Space Time Continuum which came into existence nearly 14 billion years ago.
But that "something" has no personality, no consciousness perhaps, and certainly is not a "Creator" as we think of one in an anthropomorphic way.
There is no god.
do you think he could get reinstated as president?
do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.
God forbid.
