the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.
in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".
however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.
How do these 3 elders determine what would be offensive to the congregation?
The three elders opinions are the first determination off what is offensive to the congregation. After that if the poor soul who is reinstated and gets some "privilege" returned causes some gossiping busy body to get their undies in a wad that "privilege" will be yanked PDQ. At least that was my experience thirty years ago. Just another of many reasons for getting FedUp.
the liberal idiots and useful fools who follow are going and going and going.
now they are trying to make masks permanent.
at some point people are going to revolt.
I have noticed that even prior to Covid-19 a number of people in some Asian countries wore masks in public.
I noticed that too. I also noted it was due to extremely filthy air they were force to breath. Had ZERO to do with preventing infectious disease. But what ever gets one through the night I guess.
And if facts that don't fit a persons agenda make one want to run away with their fingers in their ears then as they say in my area, "Don't let your coat-tails drag."
I no longer will "play nice" with leftists.

in the sense of 'for the foreseeable future
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . . I cannot believe there are still people that believe that once government tastes the power to control gullible citizens that they will EVER give up that power, or return the right to make personal choices for oneself.
Meanwhile Oregon is listed in the bottom 5 states for freedoms of citizens in the United States.

tricky words .
perfectly good words go unused in writing and speaking.
their meaning isn't clear and the eye is 'tricked' by similarity to other words or sounds.. .
"My friend and I went to the store."
And do not forget that the fact you and your friend went to the store does not mean a thing to you and I. It is you and ME. There is another one that grinds me every time I see it. There is a difference between HEAR and HERE.
we had a request for this, so i thought i would put it out here for everybody just in case someone else wants it.
(16 page addendum for the united states).
atlantis!.
Thank you!
study article 50. listen to the voice of the fine shepherd.
9 consider an experience that illustrates how jehovah can care for our material needs.
a couple in full-time service drove over an hour in their old car to pick up some sisters living at a refugee center and take them to a christian meeting.
JWs who never wanted to work and are needy as a result are going to get an envelope stuffed with cash!
Agreed, that is what they think will happen, and expect to happen. Right before the plandemic shut down ass-emblies and con-ventions I was corralled by one of those passing the envelope moochers. Could I give some to help the "needy" family to be able to afford going to the con-vention? NO! I suggested perhaps the four members of that family should have refrained from buying the latest, newest, shiniest I Phone, and that they could call members of their own extended hillbilly family for money. That was the bestest ever con-vention I remember. I stayed home.
got call because the co is surveying covid cases.
a. absolute fixation on the pandemic .
no questions on heart attacks, flu, stroke, or any other malady..
Haven't heard anything like it in my "neck of the grass." No woods here. Perhaps a nosy personal fixation? Of course I wouldn't tell them a thing, even IF they asked. It none of their G.D. business.

And meanwhile there are children being sexually abused by JDub minstrel serpents and eldurrs. I guess their needs do not count. Or what about any child who is starving to death? Every hour of every day, 300 children die because of malnutrition.
Too bad tony more-ass couldn't kick loose of a few dollars for them out of his scotch fund!
ya right because we all know if you let a gun sit on a table long enough it will get up and kill people on its own.
lmao what a total idiot douche nozzle liberal but i repeat myself.

I woke up thin morning thinking I would start a thread about this very subject.
For some reason I have never owned a firearm smart enough to load itself, and pull it's own trigger. Mine have been so stupid that I have to load them, I have to point them, and I have to pull the trigger. But I guess the handguns on Bone-head baldwins little ol' movie set were pretty intelligent. Of course being the fanatical leftist he is it is not HIS fault.
this magazine says it all!.
and many of the older jws believed at one point in their life that they would make it through the great tribulation and into the 1000 year reign of christ without dying.
which is why so many jws stayed in so long.. is the main reason why jws ignore all the child abuse, the end of door to door service, and the closing of kingdom hall for almost two years----because they still believe they will not die?.
It was at one time in the past a "nice" thought. Now however after seeing my grand-parents die, my parents die, and some of my nephews/nieces die, and realizing that there is one thing the Bible got 100% correct. (Ecclesiastes 3:19) . . for there is an outcome for humans and an outcome for animals; they all have the same outcome. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit. . ." " I realize that the "nice" thought is just that, fantasy.
Now I am getting close to the end of my own natural life and I intend to make the most of the time I have left, for just as surely as one does not exist anywhere before they are born they will cease to exist anywhere when they die.
