I almost moved to Niceville, fla being close to the gulf but instead moved to central florida to be near either coast. Real estate is affordable and not too many kingdom halls to annoy the general population. Lived in Hawaii when it was affordable, the weather was awesome but health care is shoddy. No poison ivy or snakes there but a lot of centipedes and frequent earthquakes, minor ones, to remind you there is a volcano close by. Hilo would not be too bad or maybe Pahoa area, naw too rainy and only one road out.

A baptist minister once gave me the example of Joe Hoover was the father and Jesus was his son and as such they both were of the same substance, just one is a little older that the other. like a duck makes ducklings and nothing different. Monkeys give birth to monkeys, they don't create little monkeys but born . Confusing and clear as mud.

Did You Know Any "Genuine"" Old School Anointed?
by Number 6 ingrowing up in scotland in the 1970s in scotland the anointed were few and far between, but we had one old dude in our cong who claimed to be one of the anointed.
in the days when it was taken seriously.. i'd be curious how you viewed them.
thing is, he wasn't an elder, or even a ministerial servant, just a plain old publisher.. but he was revered like he had a hotline to jesus.. the other week i was talking to a friend of similar age to me but who hung around the wt a lot longer than i did, and he just commented "oh him... he was a doddery old fool who used to just sit and piss himself.

If Joe Hoover had been correct in 1914, none of us typing here today should still be on earth, but gone on a cosmic train to nowhere. That was the biggest lie ever and I still can't believe they got away with it with just another lie about overlapping. Being anointed was brought up to cover the #144,000 going to heaven and limit that #.

Mr Morris has run up such a large tab, he must be depleting their slush fund faster than it can be replenished.

Murmurs from the locals
by Moster ini was ministered to by several different people at a jw funeral i attended today.
one older lady said to me, "you know the end is right around the corner, just look at the state of the world today".
i said, "well yes but that has been the mantra for decades, remember 'stay alive till '75'".

The über jw is just peddling what they absorb from the GB, reminds me of the democrats today calling for impeachment, just repeating what they hear on TV from their leaders. Monkey see, monkey do.

Confession Time - Music You're Embarrassed to Admit Listening To
by Simon inadmit it, we all have things that we reel off when people ask what our favourite music is, just the same as if people ask what our favourite movies are.
we're meant to say "citizen kane" and "casablanca" and not "battleship" or "pacific rim" but we know what we're going to watch if they are ever on tv at the same time (and which ones we've never actually seen).. so how about some confession time?
what do you listen to when no one else is in the house?.

I would almost go and pay to listen to a concert by the mormons but only with money, not my life.
