Is this card on the cards or is this just speculation based on what others are doing?

Good Guys VS Bad Guys: Facts Nobody Wants to KNow

facts we don't want to know.

the purpose of war is to kill humans.. .

which humans?.

history.com.......May 28th 1754......Lieutenant Colonel George Washington causes the seven years war. I always thought the French were not the aggressors but this article doesn’t make that clear, at least not for me.

Just one incident in the stream of time.

Morpheus....I think it's Godwin's Law. I think references to Hitler also will come up in argumentative conversation as well as on long threads. It is an extreme example to support a point of view.

lastmanstanding....you could also have mentioned what happened in Holland in WW2. The Dutch kept such meticulous records on citizens that the Nazis were easily able to identify Jews and others they didn't like etc. I read this decades ago goodness knows where.

I can't imagine Gerrit Lurch and the boys sending out hit men armed with Lugers to take out vile apostates like Cedars and others.

Charming story, I bet that put the wind up them.

I loved the judges comment about her being an overweight 5ft 2 in middle aged woman and a drunk.

I found I can access Kent online and some of the readers’ comments are quite witty.

Thanks for that.

Can only see the headline and first line of the story in Australia. Sounds dramatic to say the least.

I hate to say this but there is a strong smell of paranoia in many of these comments.

Not so long ago there was a news item where a woman complained about a pizza delivery guy “misusing” info she had given when ordering a pizza. He had telephoned asking for a date. I think that is sad that people think that way. Years ago we had telephone directories which few opted out of.

I remember when freedom of information laws came in in the seventies in Aus. There were salaried employees waving little bits of paper allowing them to see their personal files. I do not know what they expected to find but they all went away disappointed. The files were unredacted, any comments made about them in margins were quite valid.

I don’t care if WT puts me in their database as mentally diseased or whatever. What does it matter. I would be interested to know whether or not I was entitled to view the complete file they had on me though, although only if I was taking legal action against them for some reason. I don’t know anything about current law in this regard.

Just a few thoughts.

Affected by assembly

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

hi - first some context - i have been pimo for about 20 years now and so have been to a lot of assemblies in that time.

last weekend i went to a circuit assembly and for the first time afterwards i was able to talk directly to someone who knows i'm out.

i realised then that although i didn't agree with any teachings (i sat picking holes in the arguements as usual) the experience of being there had affected me - the way of life started feeling normal as did the overall way of viewing the world.

Former brother......Good luck with that if you can keep it up, you are mentally stronger than I am.

On and off again JW girlfriend

by Crzysin in

hello everyone, i have an on and off again ex who is a jw.

each time her family gets involved and she's gone again.

i'm debating biting the bullet and doing the work to become baptized, so we can follow through with our engagement.

Breaking off with someone at any age can cause a lot of emotional turmoil, however establishing a new relationship is exciting and will eventually be most rewarding if you choose the right person.

JW is a dangerous cult. jwfacts.com will provide you with a lot of factual information which will assist you in making a sound decision.

There are a lot of nice people out in the normal JW free world.
