  Summer Convention at Twickenham now gone, UK

  by jookbeard in

  i believe this is the first year that the uk wont have a summer dc at this historical old rugby stadium (which is now one of the finest arenas in the uk) the costs to rent it must be astronomical these days, and it appears they are having multiple dates at the excel arena in london plus milton keynes is being used , many memories for me from a baby onwards making the yearly trip there, the dusty old stadium, the long walks to the car parks, working on the field security, getting burnt to a crisp or being poured on, binoculars !

  food tickets, meeting at the lion gates checking the talent, and on the final day drinking the local pub dry the barny arms, end of an era!

  I remember watching Concord fly over.

  The seat rows were so steep, it made you dizzy when you stood up at the back!

  It's the modern day version of rummaging through someone's books and music collection when you visit their home, something JW's are famous for.

  Article in Australian newspaper regarding jw shunning and charity

  by umbertoecho in

  this may have been posted before.

  however, if you want to read the article about jw shunning and denial of this practice, then have a read.

  there is mention of redefining "charity" in terms of how that operates.. http://www.smh.com.au/national/jehovahs-witnesses-a-cruel-cult-20130315-2g5x3.html.

  So the official spokesperson for the WT says "shunning is a myth".

  Seems they are highly ashamed of their (easily provable) beliefs.

  one or two of you have noticed that i use derogatory terms when talking about matters religion.

  i offer no apology.

  you do, however, deserve an explanation.. my father, bless him and now dead, was a survivor of belsen, the german concentration camp.

  Dolt, if you're only here to spread your version of made-up-word offensiveness, insults and hate speech, then you're probably in violation of the forum rules and should do as you said you would - stop posting.

  Why don’t we have a better story?

  by iconoclastic in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1. some say we are all gods, and god is omnipresent..

  2. some say: god created his children who later challenged his sovereignty, who in turn asked his eldest son: go down to the world, do not resist the wicked, but be murdered by them, the value of which will be used to atone the sins of the world..

  3. universe arose out of a big bang.

  iconoclastic "how giraffe got its long neck."

  This is well understood.

  Very many generations ago one of Chuck Norris's ancestors kicked a horse under the chin.

  From that day on we got giraffes.

  Has appointment of MS and Elder been changed?

  by Simon Templar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  are there any changes to the new procedure?

  it seems to me that the co doesn't ask the candidate questions any longer.

  they just decide who they will appoint and announce it at the next weekly meeting.

  this is a crappy letter from the watchtower.

  i'm only posting it to show how micro-managers these fools are.

  and at the end, they say: "we should avoid making specific rules about somewhat technical matters".

  I guess that when you have given your thinking abilities wholesale to someone else, you should expect this level of control and interference.

  Anyone with a functioning ear should be able to tell when music is too loud or too quiet, but no, Jehovah's people are not even up to that basic task.

  No wonder they don't have TV's at home, they don't have the skills needed to set the volume correctly.
