i thought, ok the case in australia would open the eyes of the world about this dangerous cult.. well that passed without a ripple.
we talk about the un and the wt link, none jw's don't.
understand the significance.
Contrary to popular assumptions alot of JWs in Australia watched the proceedings of the Australian Royal Commission, and were fully aware of the lies coming from the JW heavyweights Jackson, O'Brien, Spinks and Toole.
The disgust of many JWs towards each of these lying men-of-god ("mogs" or "moggy" ie a moggy elder is an elder lacking religious pedigree or morals) has caused large divisions in congregations and families and have created many an inactive one. The effects will last a generation.
i got in an hour metal detecting this evening and found this almost immediately.. it is a silver penny of henry ii minted in london by "davi" between 1180 and 1189. this adds a king i didn't have in my collection.
i now have the series of henry ii - john - henry iii - edward i - edward ii - edward iii.. i now need richard the lionheart to fill in the gap.
he was the brother of john and reigned after the death of henry ii.
This got me thinking. What if you were to "find" a coin which showed the Jews going into Babylonish exile on one side and the image of Nebuchadnezzar on the other side with the letters "607 BCE" in raised profile on it?
I wonder how many JWs would see it as proof for the Bible aka GB.
Not to take away from your find. Congrats again.

if you were a computer programmer and you were to create a simulated automated world, that would constantly evolve and self run after initial designs.
first you would have to code the rules, laws, and core elements of this world.
while this is being coded, the program is not run yet, so none of it exists.
I think, therefore I am. That is to say I think I think and if I do indeed think I think I think I think I will let it go. At least I think I think that. Phew. I think I need a rest to think about what I actually think about.
if a jw wanted to get a concealed carry permit, would the society have any moral or ethical problems with it?
in other words, if one of your elders noticed you were carrying concealed, would they be apt to just ignore it or would they counsel you on it?

so the study article 'setting your mind on the spirit means life and peace.
' at paragraph 9 a little pictorial lecture for anyone setting their minds on the flesh.
brother fleshly minded talking about having a sailboat.
So "masturboating" is a no-no in Watchtower Land. I'm glad the light got brighter on this subject - like a boat tacking in the wind (sic). There must be some scriptural quote about wasting your seamen in this somewhere.
I am sick of this cult. I loved sailing hobbie cat 16s as a child and had this taken away from me as well by the JWs. Getting another sailing boat is now on my wish list.
aaaaaand .
.. it offers absolutely nothing new.. from questions from readers in the december 2016 study edition watchtower:.
"is it proper for a brother todayto have a beard?in some cultures, a neat beardmay be acceptable and may notdetract from the kingdom mes-sage.
"Is it proper for a brother today not to have a beard? In some cultures, no beard may be acceptable and may not detract from the Kingdom message. Still, some brothers might decide to have a beard. (1 Cor. 8:9) In other cultures and localities, beards are considered acceptable for Christian ministers.—w16.09, p. 21."
now the harvest is underway up north i can get out for a walk with the metal detector in the evening.
i am lucky to live on a historic rural estate and i have permission from the landowner to detect.. this is a coin that popped up last night.
it was only about 2 inches deep and had been tumbling around in the plough soil for the last 750 years.. it is a silver penny of king henry iii.
Congrats on your find. Good thing the laws in Britain allow you to keep it.
the work of john lennon best fit my situation.
first, i found out.
i found out.
"Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again?" - The Angels
I was in the crowd at this concert in Melbourne 1988, and yes you can see me in the music video.
news says it will open in october.
makes me wonder if they will include his life as a jw as part of the exhibit .
