  it also looks like guests got to walk around the sets of what i'm guessing is what was used for the new jonah movie, coming soon to a convention near you, summer 2018.. .

  Hmm... looks capital-intensive; lavishing resources on a bid to impress and retain the loyalty of the PIMI crowd rather than evangelise the non-JW world.

  It’s Stupid That JWs Wont Recognize Birthdays Yet If A Baby Is Born They Will Give Gifts!

  a witness can’t celebrate and give gifts on a birthday except on the day they are born.

  giving a baby shower is ok as well as gift giving—- but only once!

  soooo dumb!.

  What then of Romans 14:5? " One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind."

  Three Simple Reasons Why an Assault-Weapons Ban Is Bad Policy

  by freemindfade in

  i keep saying this is a bad place/policy to put all the time, energy and resources if you really do in fact care, or if you are just riding the agenda bandwagon: .

  an assault-weapons ban is irrelevant to suicide deaths.

  the large majority of gun deaths are suicides, and there is no credible argument that an assault-weapons ban will have the slightest effect on suicide.

  Why in the world does a private citizen need a military assault weapon?

  https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/what-i-saw-treating-the-victims-from-parkland-should-change-the-debate-on-guns/553937/

  No one expects a ban on assault weapon will deter suicides; there are far easier methods available to a person determined to destroy him/herself.

  The relevance of the Second Amendment was mooted by the the completion of the Westward Movement and the end of the Frontier.

  Any information about an apostate from the 30s?

  by paradiseseeker in

  here in spain we have just had a special visit from the central branch representative (well i'm not sure what his position is) and in his talk he mentioned an episode in which an apostate and his supporters were expelled from bethel in the early 30s under rutherford's rule.

  i didn't catch the name, it was something like "shutter" or "shulter".

  this event was mentioned to bring attention to a woman who was very close to this apostate and just because of that she was unfairly expelled from bethel as well, but she was "humble" and "content" enough to leave the matter on jehovah's hands and she was reaccepted in bethel after a while.

  "DO NOT look here! Seriously...just dont!"

  ok, so you all looked here??.

  this thread is prompted by losch's stupid 'decrees' in the march 2018 broadcast, where he denounced online information that may be 'negative' about the organization.. it strikes me that the gb are so dumb!

  the moment someone says "dont look at something", human curiousity will make most people look.

  From the New Yorker:

  "Some people took a while to open their doors. Lamb is a thirty-three-year-old marine and former federal prosecutor. He is so wholesome-looking that he is frequently mistaken for a Jehovah’s Witness. “One man called out, ‘I’m a Roman Catholic!’ ” Lamb told me. He’d replied, “So am I.” He grew up in the northern part of the PA-18 district, in the more affluent suburb of Mount Lebanon, and was shaped by years at Central Catholic, a high school run by Christian Brothers, an order within the Catholic Church that takes a vow of poverty. “They really make an effort to go out and be with people on the margins,” he told me."

  A local guy tweeted: "

  Replying to @alexburnsNYT

  "true story: he apparently had to stop wearing a tie while door-knocking because he said he kept being confused for a Jehovah's Witness. Don't think they made the same mistake with Saccone"
