  Kill anyone old enough to pee against a wall..

  Samson gathering foxes like 30 of them) and tying their tails together, and in the knot of those tails he placed a flame lit torch... then as the torch burned all these wild animals that were tied together in pairs waited for his word to all run in the same direction in an orderly manner to set the place on fire.

  It is to me the most unrealistic drivel ever. Me discussing this with my book study conductor in the late 80s as an 11 year old got me labeled.

  I highly doubt they have removed him over health issues. He would have ro ask to no longer serve if that was the case, which may be why there was no announcement.

  Fred Franz was blind, lost his mind and confined to the infirmary for atleast a year and was not removed until he died.

  Swinger also lost his mind atleast 3 years before his death and wasn't removed. Schroeder was bed-ridden and stopped regularly attending all functions as well.

  So unless he has an actual vice of some sort or a pride issue that caused his removal, this doesn't make sense.

  Was / Is God biased ? prejudiced against certain Peoples / Tribes or Nations ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  let me explain :.

  after the creation account of the bible, tribes of people and nations began to form and spread around the land.. god first chose noah and his family to protect them as he destroys all others in the flood.. and he ticks off everyone in babel ?

  and then he favours abraham and his descendants as the nation of israel culminating in the jewish lineage to jesus the son of god.. he has never had any dealings with any other people`s or nation isn`t that some form of favouritism ?

  I use to have an large commercial Insurance and mortgage inspection business in the south, prior to selling it (this was after I left the org) I completed a few inspections on kingdom halls from that Era.

  Two were turned into banks, one a daycare, and one that I can remember a pharmacy. They all obviously passed the local inspection, which honestly does t require much but that didn't mean they quality of work and materials were the best.

  As I remember, they all had mold problems in the exact same area in the men's restrooms around the urinals.

  Water intrusion from piss poor roofing, and cheap roofing materials. The landscaping practicing led to termite issues due to packing mulch directly up against the building and moisture problems from putting shrubs directly up against the building.

  Cheap materials are generally used for obvious reasons. The older halls however tended to be the exact opposite. You would see that alot of care was put into the construction of those older buildings

  as some of you might recall, i self-published a novel last fall.

  i hoped “armageddon’s disciples” would be successful as my previous works (an alternate history trilogy) had done well.

  not so with “disciples.” i’ve sold a total of nine copies.

  Good job on Germany siding with Russia and in turn China on this.

  Goodbye NATO and good luck preventing communism from spreading like wildfire.

  Tennis Controversy in Australia

  apr 20, 2020. novak djokovic sparks a backlash after publicly opposing the covid-19 vaccine.

  he says: “personally, i am opposed to vaccination, and i wouldn’t want to be forced by someone to take a vaccine in order to be able to travel.”.

  asked by sky news australia anchor danica de giorgio why djokovic was granted the visa in the first place, the home affairs minister said: “they’re entirely separate processes”.. “to gain entry to australia you need both – you actually need the visa, which is determined quite separately, and then you have to meet the entry requirements,” she said.. “i know that people are putting the two issues together, but the visa application process and the granting of a visa is very separate to the additional entry requirements that every traveller needs to meet to be able to enter australia.”.

  Countries have rules. If you don't want to abide by those rules you can't enter. If the entire sport of tennis ceased to exist and so did he, who cares.

  People are upset over the fact that this yokel can't play a funding game. Who fucking cares.

  Fuck all these vaccines and fuck the cult of celebrity.

  How did you feel after writing a Disassociation letter?

  A letter of disassociation is very similar to a resignation letter in content as well as purpose.

  I wrote a da letter because I didn't want to be recognized or still registered as a member of Jehovah's Witnesses. I wrote an official letter so it is clear I am not one of them.

  Your last sentence is the way of thinking that is confusing. Why make it difficult for the religion you left? It seems as if there is still a lot of emotion wrapped up in your heart. Just officially leave and move on.
