what’s your opinion of having alexa ?
is it something you would get if you don’t already have it?
?.
My girlfriend has one. I do like that I can tell it to play such and such a song and it does. Apart from that I don’t have any need for one myself. It’s most likely the way of the future. In time we’ll likely all have one.
My concern is, is it listening all the time? Getting spam recommendations from things we’ve spoken about earlier... coincidence? I hope so. spooky.
hello guys,.
long time no see.
the other day i went out with my sister.
Mad isn’t it. Essentially asking “is she one of us or one of them?”
i saw my mother today for the first time in three years..
she was on one of the witnessing carts in town at a station i don’t usually get off at.
i did today as i was dropping my daughter off somewhere.
I've got to the point that I dont even care now. I know she's my mother but I feel nothing anymore. Just another JW. I have to think that way otherwise it'd drive me crazy.

She was on one of the witnessing carts in town at a station I don’t usually get off at. I did today as I was dropping my daughter off somewhere. I don’t know if she saw me but, damn, she looks old and tired.
We walked past, I gave her a head-nod and smile. She ignored it (or didnt see it). My daughter didn’t even know who she was so didn’t look up.
I told my older brother (who never got baptized and stopped going to meetings years ago), and he told me she’s been diagnosed with some sort of lung disease. Her doctor has told her to slow down, rest and basically take it easy. The problem with that is, she’s a fulltime pioneer. My brother told me that since the last convention she “realized” that the doctor’s advice was obviously a test from Satan to get her to stop pioneering – so she’s now actually doing more than she was before.
She’s pioneering herself into an early grave.
i was in full time service for six years including bethel.
once i got out of bethel, i figured i had already given them six of the best years of my life (ages 18-24) working as a slave/drone in their factory, so i rationalized that i had given them enough... so over the next 27 years i would say maybe $200 bucks is it.
i think their whole "voluntary contributions" idea is biting them in the ass, because over all jehovah's witnesses are a cheap group people with a few exceptions.
As a child from age 4-9 I used to put my pocket money in the donation box. But this was the late 80s and early 90s so it would only have been about 50p.
After than I donated sparingly. Not very much at all. Like pocket change.
when I moved out of my parents home I never donated a thing. At the time I felt a little guilty about it but looking back I'm so glad I never put any of my hard earned cash in there.
now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".
i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?
maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.
Not that being a tranny is the same as a pedophile that I know of, in that they don't harm anyone or attack or pray on others that I know of. But neither do cutters or many other mental illnesses. But that is not to say they are OK. It could be that being a tranny is just a mental illness like a hoarder, does not really harm anyone, but its still a mental illness non the less.
Oosh! Dressing in womens clothes is relatively harmless I'd say. But let's not lump such persons into the same catagory as a pedophile. Oh, and "tranny"? WTF?

Was this during the session though? Looks like the kind of thing you'd see before it starts.
first of all, there's a new imaginary picture of jws during the great tribulation:.
then there's a picture of a jw family refusing to listen to "apostate lies" via pre-programed, self imposed information control:.
the description says:.
Wouldnt mind being locked in a bunker with her tho...
Almost makes me want to convert again.
this is what jesus said.
matt 24-14.
14 and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.. looking at this verse what is the central theme?
Hang on a second...
Do they preach about Gods Kingdom? NO instead they believe an angel named
Moroni provided gold plates in upstate New York which was the basics for book of Mormon
Mormons do indeed preach Gods Kingdom. But it's their interpretation of what that is. I could quite easily say that Jehovah's Witnesses preach 1914, overlapping generations and tight pants - which Jesus didnt do.
alex - thank you for your offer to have a conversation about evolution.. i accept the scientific evidence that all life - including humans - evolved from a common ancestor through unguided evolution over millions of years.
this isn't even a controversial position in the scientific community.. the evidence rests on the data from many interconnected fields including paleontology, comparative anatomy, geology and especially genetics.
it is no exaggeration to say that the evidence for your own non-human ancestry is contained in every cell in your body.. it is my experience that jws are generally quite ignorant (not in a pejorative sense) of the scientific case.
Was that it from the JW corner? Alex lasted 3 posts?
Almost feel sorry for him. That was a terrible attempt.
