  What will Earth be like in 500 years from now?

  In my opinion, uninhabited. IF there are still people living here it will be only a small group of super wealthy, ruling over a larger group of slaves who are disposable at a whim.

  POLICE

  by BoogerMan in

  2. humour

  on halloween night, police arrested two people who were dressed up individually as a battery and a firework rocket.

  they charged one and let the other off.. police in london are investigating the theft of dogs throughout the city.. they don't have any leads.. i found a large box filled with kodak 35 mm camera film, and handed it in to the police.. they said they'd let me know if there were any developments.. police recovered a valuable stolen microscope.. they say they're looking into it.. yorkshire police can't establish what's wrong with the sat-navs in their new fleet of squad cars.. they're still looking for leeds.. police are investigating the theft of a perpetual motion device.

  they say it's an ongoing inquiry.. the old ones are the best!

  I don't believe our cousins across the water quite get or perhaps appreciate 'British banter'.

  I'm American. That said I find humor from your side of the pond to be much more entertaining and funny than what is provided on this side. Of course it may be my heritage as my great-grandfather was a minister in Nottingham and his son was what we call a lawyer and was schooled in London, and practiced in Nottingham before emigrating to Canada and then the U.S.

  this endless ongoing trashing (well deserved anyway) of that other ex-JW activist is already too long and frankly very tiring.

  Agreed. It's a lot like the continual occupation of space in the minds of those who don't like President Mean Tweets. Two years on and they are still letting him control them by reason of their permanent TDS. Still rehashing russia. . .Russia. . .RUSSIA, drink bleach to stop COVID, and all the other long since disproved, massaged, and manipulated false stories about that former president.

  BTW, am I the only one who wonders about a pretty recent member here whose posts sound an awful lot like they could be written by that other ex-JW? Maybe it is him, and he is here keeping tabs on how preoccupied some still are with him?

  Education and wisdom are two different things . .

  So very true. I have a saying, "Many people are "educated" way beyond the level of their own intelligence."

  I rely on this board to keep me grounded , surrounded as I am in life by WT diehards.

  Coming here for me is much like getting a shot of oxygen in an air polluted WT atmosphere that I find myself surrounded by, even though I have faded from most of their radar.

  Okay, the person who usually down-votes my post can do that now. The rest of you, I wish well.

  Thank you for the well-wishes. Your post should receive many more votes up than down, IMO.

  The mega thread is sacrosanct after all.

  Agreed 100%. Time to put it to bed IMO as it is now nothing much more than rehashing the same old, same old. Now I will be proud to accept your votes down for MY honest opinion.

  Missing Monthly Broadcast - May 2015

  by Listener in

  2. scandals

  youtuber millstone research has done a video on the fact that the may 2015 monthly broadcast is no longer on jw org.. https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/categories/studiomonthlyprograms.

  the broadcast was presented by lett who mentions he had the backing of the other gb members regarding his comments.. the broadcast is basically about soliciting jws for funds as well as other 'valuable things' for the organisation.

  this is the one where he claims that the money flowing out was more than the money flowing in.

  Do they believe that they are the only ones who will be saved?

  No. . . Many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before the “great tribulation,” and they will gain salvation.

  WT continually hammers home the point that to "take a stand for truth and righteousness" means one thing, and one thing only. One MUST become a baptized Jehovah's Witness.

  Only Jehovah’s Witnesses have any hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil. . .

  When one removes the WT qualifications put out for public consumption the above statement is now more closely aligned with what they believe. ONLY Jehovah's Witnesses have any hope, and in order to be a Jehovah's Witness you MUST get baptized.
  

  Newer WT state the following:
  

  *** w18 March p. 4 par. 4 Baptism—A Requirement for Christians ***A person who needlessly delays getting baptized endangers his prospects for everlasting life.

  *** w16 March p. 4 par. 3 Young Ones—Are You Ready to Get Baptized? ***
  Moreover, baptism is a requirement for Christians, and it is a vital step toward gaining salvation.

  No matter how they try to soften their beliefs in some printing, they do in speaking believe that ONLY JW's will survive their hoped for deaths of 8,000,000,000 men women and children. I have heard it personally, and the person stating it as fact posed the question, "How many people in Noah's time were favorable to him and his family? Yet they DIED right along with the rest of humanity even if t hey were not opposed. It will be the same at the end of this system. Being favorable will not get them life. ONLY being one of Jehovah's Witnesses will give them a chance."

  Just saying. . .

  Loafers, dress slacks, and a white shirt. I guess I will be destroyed for wearing blue jeans, regular work shirts, and western boots!
