  Cart observations from Cardiff South Wales

  by freddo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was in a suburb of cardiff, capital of wales where it was difficult to get near to my customer's offices to deliver and install what i do.

  i had my car parked about a hundred yards away and had to make several trips with goods and tools past a local jw trolley cart.

  as i was working i didn't stop but observed much of the time from an upper floor office window.. in the hour or so i was there, on a warm sunny (for late february) lunchtime/early afternoon - right by a bus stop and several local shops, cafes and banks with plenty of people about - not one person stopped at the cart.. the two women at the cart i guess were about 50 and 75 respectively - pleasant looking motherly/grandmotherly types.

  Well said Dunedain, that sums it up for me. This world needs more sobering explanations based on logic and reality in order to get rid of religious and suppressing superstition. No proof is no proof...

  Media attention for JW sexual abuse problems has increased considerably. There have been three items at RTL news, one at RTL late night talk show and one at NOS news. That's five items since december 28, 2017!

  Now politics is discussing it at the highest level... let's hope the victims will get their Dutch "ARC".

  Thanks Anders.

  My confidence in minister Sander Dekker has grown. He finally seems to understand what it is all about. I also look forward to the efforts of Nico Meijering. I think this lawyer is the best choice to assist Reclaimed Voices and the victims.

  What’s with Pastor Russell and Miracle Wheat ?

  by CovertsadJW in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have researched pastor russell and miracle wheat , has any one found out some interesting information?

  it seems he sold the wheat at a premium and promised 5 x yield ?

  he denies selling - as he did not know , but he is a snake oil salesman.

  Tattoos?

  by Wild_Thing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if seems to be quite fashionable nowadays for ex-jws to get a tattoo or a series of tattoos to symbolize either their time spent in the watchtower or their escape, and i kind of don't get it.

  i don't understand why someone would want a constant reminder on their body of such a horrible period in their life.

  on another forum, one woman shared that she was getting 25 bees tattooed all over her body to represent the 25 years she spent in the org.

  Wild_Thing,

  that second picture of the guy's tattood arm reminded me more of this tarot cart than of a watchtower.

  
  

  Could depict both of course, but just saying...
