Dis/UNITED Kingdom?

by BoogerMan in

england, wales, scotland & n.i.

are independently making or changing the covid 19 lockdown laws/rules to suit themselves... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52600708.

garden centres are opening in wales on monday, in england on wednesday, but by the looks of things, are far too dangerous to open them anytime soon in scotland or n.i.

hi one of my jw parents died recently of old age , after decades of brainwashing of the dead are just a sleep and if we are good we would see them again in paradise .. i fully understand now you have one life and should make the best of it but finding it difficult at the moment to get my head around it .. it's just a bit of a rant but your the only ones that i can try and express how i feel and be able to understand after the years of brainwashing how it affects my thinking process.. thanks for any help and advice..

Thanks for your kindness and advice, I understand it will take time to heal.

A family member who I shunned because they didn't marry in the lord and then celebrated Christmas when they had a family was there because of nessary family business, we were having a chat about things and I took the opportunity to apologize for how I treated them for over 20 year's expecting them to tell me to f##k off , but they accepted my apologies and hopefully we can move forward I know it will take time.

Thanks again and take care

have you heard anything ?

by lancelink in

i was a witness from grade school ( 1976) until 2007. i seem to remember an important aspect that was always talked about at the hall as being a fact.they would say that "the rocks themselves would cry out" if the public preaching work was to stop,,,,, all i've seen and heard these past few months are the witnesses complaining about the witnessing work coming to a halt.but i've not heard one rock crying .. .

It's a fulfilment of Micah 4:1

In the final part of the day's

The mountain of the house of Jehovah will be firmly established

And to it people's will STREAM.

Have you ever known elders who were more into being and elder than really being a believer?

by phoenixrising in

i have known many elders who were much more into the idea of being an elder and getting all the old ladies to tell them what wonderful talks they give and the power then really being a believer.

i had one elder tell me that when he became an elder he was on top dog on top of the heap.

i knew some who were really all about the religion and following the cult.

A gong I was in the po ,his son and son in laws and there pals were elders so some of it is a social thing and to be included in that circle .

And some wife's pushed there husband to be elders to be included in the social circle too.

(And to find out all the gossip)
