  I revisit an old Jehovah's Witness friend from long ago...

  by Terry in

  goodbye old friend; someday we'll meet again ….

  the ghost with the fine china cups.

  my last memory of her… a friend from long ago.. julie was a startling beauty, a blue-eyed, natural blonde; a model, guitar player, a singer with glowing purity of tone, a talented writer, and possessed of a wicked sense of humor.. she was too young to be dating and yet she was a natural flirt.

  anyone remembers a group of jw's working outside of the jws called twmc (two witnesses must come).

  they had a presence on the net in the 1990s, using various forums.

  they published the report.

  report please.

  In my earlier days I was disturbed on hearing that the gb never got all the anointed together to discuss 'stuff'.

  Whether they we to tight to pay the air fares or were too scared of being shown up in some way is any-ones guess.

  well, it has happened.. workers in these industries will be forced to vax or lose their employment.. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-01/victoria-which-authorised-workers-mandatory-vaccination-onsite/100506980.

  i'm glad to be out of the workforce.. never thought it would come to this in a supposed democratic society.. no wonder protests and law suits are increasing in intensity.

  like for fucks sake,,, a worker at a takeaway bottle / liquor shop.

  1. The riot occurred because construction sites were closed and the workers were then with no income.
  2. So the workers held a demo.
  3. Many 'others' joined in and the demo went out of control it was even steered toward the offices of the construction unions, ? any event of potential public disorder will attract those with an axe to grind.**
  4. **In the situation of emergencies their are those who lurk behind power who wish to see their particular strain of authority imposed and a pandemic gives them the 'license' to influence govt of the day.
     
  5. I am in WA (west australia) and thankful for being here.
  6. Yes the fed govt (Liberal Party, ie up with the big end of town) want borders opened and thankfully the WA Premier (Labor party) has told them to sod off.

  incidentally I have worked in Aged care (!) and they suffer from almost non ventilation so its my guess why buggs get loose.

  What was the Overall reaction from the world media ,to the Awake article ,may 22nd 1994 regarding "Youths Who Died Refusing Blood".

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i , and my wife had probably left about 12 months prior to this magazine coming out , and i never at that time had any knowledge of it till many years later when i joined this site.. when i did see it , i was appalled that they could put out such an article , in a magazine they would distribute throughout the world .. to me it smacked of child abuse .

  these were kids , who had no life experiences , who were far too young to make life or death choices of their own , were influenced by religous leaders who had their own agenda , and sadly by family , relatives and freinds who were indoctrinated by a man made religion that has its roots in america in the late 1800`s .. so my question is , did this episode of child abuse go under the radar of mainstream media ?

  did it escape child protection agencies of the time ?.

  I saw it and was appalled . A sort of how low can they go sort of thing. I do not recall any reaction from any of the media or authorities.

  Just signed best wishes.

  I hope any inquiry studies the footage of the CARC and the actions of the Jehovah witness elders and, how cases were dealt with by elders in their turn.

  Earthquake in Victoria Australia

  by smiddy3 in

  i ,along with many other victorians in australia,experienced my first earthquake this morning about 9:15 am.. it was recorded as a 5.9 magnitude.and an after shock of 4.0 magnitude.. i was having a lay in bed due to the fact my wife had a bad night due to her health problems which affected my sleep as well.. and i thought geeeze she`s making a lot of racket coming up the passage to the bedroom with her walker and then the bed started shaking like crazy .

  i thought my computer`s going to hit the deck along with the printer as other things started to fall over.. our house sits on concrete stumps and the thought went through me that the house could collapse ,but thankfully there was no structural damage that i could find.. apparently it was felt far and wide covering most of victoria / nsw and even tasmania.. anybody else here had a similar experience ?.
