  by Simon in

  china's economy is wobbling as one of its largest companies, evergrande, is teetering on bankruptcy.. there's a good chance it's collapse will have a knock-on effect on other markets.. so more to thank them for than just the covid virus.. no one should have any dealing with china..

  GB / Wives ,wont voluntarily give up their lifestyle

  by smiddy3 in

  2. friends

  just an observation viewing some of their on camera appearances , and their arrogance believing they are the only one`s used by god to reach and teach the people ,despite what gj said at the arc on the subject.. no doubt the gb men wear designer tailor made suits from the best tailors in nys ?

  and their wives adequately provided for in a similar way ?

  nothing from kmart or target ,walmart or whatever.. shoes are probably made from form fit cobblers to fit the individual ?

  slightly off tack here. I attempted to converse with an overseers wife at a convention once and there was nothing there, I mean she had no ability to make the simplest conversation. She appeared to be in some state-shock- i dont know. Perhaps newly married to her catch of an overseer and was reeling as to what it meant.

  Thinking back i felt sorry for her.

  In Australia its my understanding that a "dont watch it" note was sent out so the PIMI didnt watch, but, have no doubts they will be all full- bottles on what it was about. The note may have been from the branch or not but such is the mind set of jw then they would not have watched the 4 corners program.

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  2. friends

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  I think it was Edison who said,

  Biden - Inappropriate Toucher and Killer of Children

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  ny times report on the drone strike in afghanistan - they killed an aid worker and his family including 7 children.. it was done as a political stunt so biden could claim they struck back at a terrorist (although it was a suicide bomb attack).. the attack was due to his incompetence and the drone strike done to distract from it.. his inappropriate touching of young girls now seems tame compared to his murder of young children.. he should be prosecuted.

  he should be jailed.

  he won't be, because us politics.. if you voted for him you're a shit that supports an inappropriate toucher and killer of children..

  Trump established a veterans hot line staffed by veterans. He created a veterans dept run by veterans or family members to help veterans.Are these still in existence?
  

  Such is way over due here in Australia with the high suicide rate among ex vets. There has finally been announced a Royal Commission into vets suicides against massive opposition by the govt ie the govt was forced by public opinion and petitions many to hold a royal Commission.

  'unanswered questions — disturbing ones — surround the case of a former school health aide charged with three second-degree felony counts of molesting a child.. here’s what we know: santa fe police arrested 30-year-old robert apodaca in july over allegations he sexually abused a boy in 2019, including at the school nurse’s office at gonzales community school.. .

  apodaca and the boy knew each other through the north santa fe congregation of jehovah’s witnesses.

  an elder at the congregation reported apodaca to police after the family came to him in june.

  Rest ye gentle warrior,

  with seas and breezes soft.

  The gulls with cry above you from their heavenly loft.

  The Elysian fields await you to rest your tired soul

  for peace everlasting is yours my son, you have earned your goal.

  15.4. The Jehovah’s Witnesses have more than 131,700 members in England and Wales.[8] Their records showed 67 allegations reported to their Branch Office within the previous 10 years. This included 25 allegations against elders, 32 allegations against ministerial servants and 10 people accused of abuse within an institutional context (such as abuse at a place of worship by a congregant or non-Jehovah’s Witness).[9]
