... not "why does this happen" or even "how do we prevent it" but "here's todays locations and body counts".. so sad that some people just went to the shops and now their families will never see them again.. seems like it is an insolveable problem for america..
It is quite a problem... but not a new one... mall shootings, school shootings and the like have plagued America since the late 70's... but cell phones, social media and high-tech police frequency scanners are making the problem appear more wide-spread than it actually is...
that said, it's still a very sad situation.
i haven't been to a meeting in over a year, and as you know as soon as you stop attending meetings/fieldservice the "conditional" love becomes more apperant.
the coordinating elder starts off by saying how much he loves and misses me, etc.
i ask him, when was the last time you called or texted me?
you just got the poor idiot "removed"... serves him right...
i read article after article about the billions the gb rakes in from fleecing the sheep but i've never heard anyone explain what happens to the money.. i mean is it in a swiss account?
are the gb living in private mansions?
where does the $ go?.
The money goes into hundreds of different offshore tax havens owned by the Rothschild family.
i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.
i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.
i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.
I was counselled for assuming the role of a valet parking attendant before and after a memorial.
I was supposed to help direct traffic into (and then out of) the KH parking lot during a memorial with almost double the amount of cars expected. But when I noticed that certain elderly brothers and sisters had difficulty manuevering into (or out of) very tight spaces, I quickly intervened and parked their vehicles for them or positioned their cars so that they can simply drive straight ahead and out the lot at the end of the memorial. This only took a few seconds at a time and did not affect my primary duty as "traffic director". If fact, had I not done this, there would have been complete gridlock and the next memorial would have started late.
The next service meeting, an elder pulled me aside and said that I should strive to follow directions from the elders and that he was told that I was "doing unauthorized things on my own" during the memorial when i was supposed to be simply directing traffic.
Can you believe the audacity of this complete shit head???
an article on a jw who died from lack of blood.
family then sued..
This can't be right. Jehovah's people always win court cases.
about 10 minutes ago a neighbor asked me about a friend who is a witness and said at one of their church meetings it said that they can only seperate under extreme abuse not just abuse.. i have not been to a meeting in a long time and i do not know aboput this or if it is true.
does anyone know what article this was in so i can print it and give it to them.
they are highlyy upset by this and i want to stoke the fire.
Steve hit Selma for 17 years and then became a witness himself.
announced that two ohio circuits are to be dissolved including 5 congregations.
congregations in the dissolved circuits will be assigned to two existing circuits.
the excuse the letter offered is that people are moving, or that people are retiring and leaving the area.
"... for this week's announcements, we'll be reading a special letter from the Branch Office...
Dear brothers... because many of you have lost your jobs and are unable to contribute to the upkeep of your Kingdom Hall, we are herebey notifying you that you have 30 days to find a well-paying job or find a Kingdom Hall where the friends are wealthy and are able to make up for your shortcomings. May Jehovah continue to bless you for all of your efforts in delivering the Kingdom message as we quickly approach the end of this system of things. Please be assured of our warm Christian love. Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses."
in 1823, john aquila brown (a man who is not mentioned in any wt publication) came up with a bizarre mathematical calculation which totalled 2,520 years (in an unauthorized attempt to predict the end of the gentile times).... several religions recycled this bizarre calculation, including the adventists and the bible students... when armageddon didn't come on the variety of early 20th century dates predicted by several "dooms-day" religions of that time (including charles taze russell's bible students who predicted that the big a would start in 1914), they all finally realized that this 2,520-year calculation was nothing more than arbitrary mathematical speculation derived from erratic biblical extrapolation.... except for the bible students who continued to move up the date for armageddon 2 more times (1918, 1925) and then decided to use wwi as the starting point for the "last days".. all the while, one thing that seems to remain intact is the october 2, 1914 date.
oddly, for the watchtower bible & tract publishing cult, this particular date still marks the end of the 2,520-year period (that john aquila brown referred to in his bizarre 1823 book "the even tide")... again, no mention of this in any watchtower publication.
but, for jws, that date still remains the starting point for the period of time often referred to as the "last days" or even "the generation that shall not pass".. because of this, the governing body has been forced to change the definition of "the generation that shall not pass" countless times since the early 1970's.
274 days remaining...
sometime in the early 1990s i made a commitment to myself that if the end did not come in 2014 i was going to walk away.
then i started thinking - if i waited until 2014 i would be 57 years old with very few options.
that is when i realized that i needed to make changes to get my life back.
2014 is confirmation that the Watchtower Corporation is full of shit.
this jw guy put a camera in his bookbag and went around snapping pics... sick.. .

This only happened because they eliminated the Daily Text prior to Field Circus. Had they considered the Daily Text, Jay Hoover's spirit would have prevented this perversion....
