Congratulations to the new Mommy and Daddy!
Beautiful baby with a lovely name.
so as of july 2nd my wife delivered by c-section our little one pound, three ounce daughter izabella.
it was a very scary night that started with a decel and turned into multiple decels that greatly concerned the doctors.
by early morning they felt the need to take her for her safety.
Congratulations to the new Mommy and Daddy!
Beautiful baby with a lovely name.
watchtower october 2017, par 11, page 28 - "very soon the political powers of satan’s world will form a coalition that is bent on the destruction of god’s people.
's] have anything to fear?
not at all!........at that critical moment during the great tribulation, the angelic soldiers of jehovah of armies will come together to protect god’s people..."[j.w.
I wasn't supposed to go to school or get married or have children.

Wearing kilts... So if you are born and bred Scottish, you cannot wear a kilt to a wedding? Can you wear it to a regular kingdom hall? Or at a convention?
Now adays, would different clans with their own specific color and wool patterns... cause division (?) in the christian congregation?
In Scotland, are there wool colors and patterns for the 'common man' to wear with out any ties to a clan?
Is there still problems because of the Jacobites?
Is a Scotsman dressed up in Highland kilt, welcomed down in the South dressed this way at an English Convention as a visitor?
absolutely thrilled to give you the news that my younger brother, a zealous full-time pioneer has left the witnesses!!.
i haven't seen or spoke to him in a year.
i'd lost all contact with him, no facebook, no mobile number, i didn't even know his address because he'd moved house.
So very happy for you both! This is the very best 'news' to hear!
who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.
i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.
so who do you think is keeping all of this money.
I think a lot of people are naive.
How do you wear a Rolex and yet keep begging for money, even telling children to give GB their ice cream money.
Narcissist's are what the GB are and power is their game. They never have enough of anything.

the judge of all the earth always does what is right.
intended as a confidence builder in the organization ..see what you think.. theme is from deuteronomy but it is really highlighting that passage in genesis where abraham had a dialogue with god, (gen.18) would god destroy sodom if 50 righteous men would perish?
@Hecce: I am not allowed PM's but I want to add to your above comment.
Nathan Knorr made a comment in a semi private moment for the reason he got married. He said sisters were "throwing themselves at him all over the world, where ever he went and he didn't like it, so to put a stop to it, he picked a nice American pioneer sister and marrried her." Case closed.
The Society always frowned on marriage. It was easier to use single people for their unpaid labor. Then, put a carrot in front of them and tell them they are working for God now... and in the future... God will reward them for their righteous works...
i am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.
you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.
during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.
@Hecce. I apologize. I cannot send PM's but I would like to share something with you.
This is in referencing your post from 4 months ago when you are discussing 2 DO's in Cuba.
In Africa there was a German missionary that liked beer when it was hot. It is hot in Africa a lot.
He would take a little money from the cash drawer at Bethel to go buy himself a beer. Brooklyn from their Ivory Tower kicked this long standing hard working missionary/Bethel Elder out of the home for stealing. He had to borrow money for his and his missionary wife's passage home.
When they got home they were now snubbed by their home congregation and not only was he never appointed an Elder again, he and his wife were strikingly hardly ever, called on to comment no matter how many hands were up or if no one had their hands up to comment.
They were ignored.
The Governing Body are such fat cats. Every bodily comfort is theirs.
That former missionary is dead now. Before Alzheimer's attacked his brain, I wonder if he woke up to TTATT.
in newcastle town centre.
uk.. the chronicle live.
15 june 2017.. a council worker will stand trial after he was accused of being drunk at the wheel of his road sweeper in newcastle city centre.. john paul carruthers, who has since resigned from his post at newcastle city council, was allegedly over the legal drink-drive limit when he ploughed into a jehovah’s witness stand on northumberland street near to haymarket metro station.. prosecuting, james long told newcastle magistrates’ court: “the allegation is that he was driving a newcastle city council road sweeper when he collided first with a jehovah’s witness stand next to haymarket metro station.
As the short video shows from yesterday, the man arrested and put on the ground by the police, was getting handcuffs put on him because he ploughed into a Jehovah's Witness STAND not into any human being with family and friends. The STAND has no feelings...
Even though JW..org has a cartoon to show a singing cart... They really can't sing... And they are not real...
it's been 8 years, but i am back.
my health has returned.
what did i miss?.
Hello Justin/Preston.
Sure hope you are feeling better and have less stress now.
Granny Gooch died.
Leolaia of the brilliant thinking mind got upset with rude uneducated people replying to her posts, so she left.
Jgnet and "someone" had a disagreement and she left.
A few have died.
Marvin Schmiler (?) The man who wrote like a lawyer, we don't know what happened to him.
Satanus is around but not posting...
Billy the XBethellite went to university and got a degree in chemical engineering and has a great job. Yay Billy!
Snare&Racket went back to university and is now a practicing medical doctor in his home area. Yay Snare!
It is so nice to meet oldies but goodies!
Do you still have any family still in?
just stopping by to share this... .
after seeing a watchtower representative paste the same thing over and over, about jw.org being available in 850 languages.... we all know how the watchtower loves to boast about the number of languages it translates into.
what are the facts?
