  Summer Convention at Twickenham now gone, UK

  i believe this is the first year that the uk wont have a summer dc at this historical old rugby stadium (which is now one of the finest arenas in the uk) the costs to rent it must be astronomical these days, and it appears they are having multiple dates at the excel arena in london plus milton keynes is being used , many memories for me from a baby onwards making the yearly trip there, the dusty old stadium, the long walks to the car parks, working on the field security, getting burnt to a crisp or being poured on, binoculars !

  food tickets, meeting at the lion gates checking the talent, and on the final day drinking the local pub dry the barny arms, end of an era!

  JB - The Wembley assembly was an international, so no Twickers DC anyway. And that was in 69, the year before I swallowed it all and got baptized. I only remember one DC being at Chrystal Palace, several years later. I left in 80, so there may have been others since then.

  I remember Twickers very well too. But there was one year, back in the 70s, when there was no DC at Twickenham (can't remember the reason, but probably money). I had to make the pilgrimage from North London over to Chrystal Palace, which was a right pain.

  Do or did the JW's believe dinosaurs were vegetarians?

  i thought at one time or maybe they still do believe that the dinosaurs were vegetarians?

  When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when.

  Oddly enough, it's also silent on "whether" he did it - but let's not let truth get in the way of our beliefs.

  Does This Mean JWs No Longer Point the Finger at Child Sexual Abuse in Other Religions?

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  those who still attend meetings will be better placed to answer this question.

  since the conti case - but likely some years before it became more widely known in ex-jw circles and beyond - there appear to have been no watchtower or awake news snippets on child sex abuse in the churches of christendom.

  also, do rank and file still talk to householders about the churches of christendom's cover-ups of such abuse?.

  Also, Watchtower July 1, 2012, page 5.
  

  "Religion’s involvement in ... the toleration of child abuse has led even prayerful people to say, “I don’t believe in God.”"

  Well this appeared in the Watchtower May 1, 2012, page 16, in a subsection called, "Is all religion good?"
  
  "Many religious groups include sincere people who want to please God. ... Sadly, though, some people have used religion for evil purposes. ... Today, according to news reports, some religious leaders have ... been involved in child abuse. ... The Bible teaches that there are two types of religion—true religion and false religion. False religion does not teach the truth about God. ... Soon, God will bring a sudden end to religion that deceives and oppresses mankind."

  from reading my previous post many of you know i am a worldly person and have been a life long child advocate.

  my heart goes out to the jw children and women.

  these last 5 months education here and jwfacts, jwstruggles, has been very enlightening.

  I doubt you would have much to fear from JW paedophiles. They tend to target the kids of other Dubs, as access is so much easier, and because of the Witnesses phobia of bad publicity, they know there is very little chance they will be exposed (not to mention the two witness rule).

  by Doltologist in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.

  being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.

  the first was called "was life created?

  Really??? You actually meant every word??? If anyone could prove to me that god existed, JWs would the among the last religions on earth I would join.

  Christianity: The most deceptive religion

  by opusdei1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  jesus was a jew who apparently thought he was the messiah, however, after dying, his disciples began to propagate the lie that he would return from heaven during his generation.

  but, his generation passed away, and it was clear that it was a false prophecy, then a dishonest christian wrote the second letter of peter so as to condemn those who realised that the prophecy was a fiasco.

  interestingly, and sadly, this religion survived,....why????

  Yes, it is a pity that Christianity survived. It's an even greater pity that Islam did too. And were it not for Judah Maccabeus we would have been spared the whole lot.

  "This cry for money is to cultivate funds for the new UK branch intended to be built. a good possibility."

  Finkelstein - I doubt they would need additional finds for that - I would have thought that the sale of their prime North London property should more than pay for their relocation. Of course it could still be used by them to claim that the need more money.
