Joey jojo and road to nowhere,
Nothing like the good old "I've got mine but you cannot have yours" attitude!
"raised in the truth" during the 50s, 60s,and 70s i repeatedly read and heard from the platform how reading the magazines weekly "was the equivalent of a college education" and how many had turned their family economic situation around by being "trustworthy" and giving up expensive bad habits most "worldly people" had.
sounded good.. what is the reality?
how does avoiding higher education, and then spending up to 20 hours a week getting ready for, commuting, and then participating in meetings and field service affect family finances?.

“1975” still marks 6000 years from the creation of adam in wt calendar.
according to “all scriptures inspired” book, there is a gap between the creation of adam and the creation of eve and her marriage to adam.
it was at that point in time when eve was created that marked the end of the 6th creative day and the beginning of god’s rest, the 7th day as recorded in genesis.
The whole 6000 years business is based on OT chronology, which its writers (the Jews) would be quick to tell us was never intended to be interpreted literally.
How could one possibly be bent out of shape by a collection of myths intended only to be folklore? Might as well take as literal stories such as “Jack and the Beanstalk”. It would carry as much credibility, that’s for sure.
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
Bloody hell!
So much commentary based on precious little in the way of facts.
nicola sturgeon has resigned as snp leader for one reason or another.
nothing to do with her f**king up when she wanted to put a male rapist in a women's prison.
oh dear, how sad, missing you already .... .
Another case of “The camera does not lie”.
first new zealand's dictator resigned and now nicola sturgeon the first minister of scotland has announced her intention to go.. nobody is certain exactly what the trigger was but there are plenty of possibilities.
the final straw may have been her 'gender recognition' act that would have made it possible for anybody 16 and over to legally change their sex on a whim.
the vast majority of scots were opposed but she battered the legislation through holyrood regardless.
And to think, that back in the day, the mantra was firmly believed that "The Camera Does Not Lie"!

It would seem the term “dictator” has become a political swearword rather than an accurate description of anything much at all.
for those who still hold to the belief that the last 109 years have been part of "the time of the end", consider this: .

it would have been quite understandable if those alive during the middle of the 6th century ad believed the "end was nigh.".
It would seem that almost every generation has experienced its "Eve of Destruction" moment - as demonstrated by this video clip from 58 years ago:

Civilization was set back for almost a century and things were never the same again; with the Eastern Roman Empire by then set on an irreversible path of decline and eventual collapse.
hi friend`s ,i just had to share my experience ,and surely there must be others on this board who had similar experiences that i had.. i was a jw for 37 years ,been out for about 20 years or so .however we as a family never had the problems that so many of you seem to have had .. none of our, my wife and i , immediate families have ever been jw`s.. i converted when i was about 20 years old in about 1960 and as i say remained in converted my wife and brought up two sons in the "truth" for about 37 years .. my 1st and 2nd congregations i attended in melbourne aust.
were very conservative and not very wholesome looking back.. however moving interstate to s.e.queensland in redcliffe was a whole new experience.. it was far more liberal and relaxed.. i befriend a couple of elders and ms `s who enjoyed an ale or two which was right up my alley.. and we went on camping expeditions on both fraser and moreton islands ,both just off the coast of brisbane.. i was a ms for many years there never pioneered or served where the need was great and always had steady employment in the world which probably kept my head above the clouds so to speak.. none of my family ,wife two boys and their wives are jw`s ,we have all left many years ago.. anybody else had negative effects of being a witness for many years ?.
Lucky you!
