  sherri papini is that woman kidnapped in california and released on thanksgiving day making the news right now.. during one of the reports this morning on the today show there was a quick scene of an investigation going on at a kingdom hall.

  there was crime tape up and everything.

  credit goes to my wife for catching it.. i just wondered why the kingdom hall was a crime scene when she was abducted and released somewhere else?anybody else catch this?.

  . . .she walked to a nearby church, and then nobody was there,. . .
  

  Dang those lazy JW's. They should have been at the KH for some pretense. Just think of the missed opportunity to give her an newer Awake mag about "How To Harness Your Habits."

  Why Did JWs Abandon Brooklyn for the Sticks?

  i may have missed this, but can anyone tell me what was the pretext the gb concocted to justify their abandonment of a perfectly suitable, high-profile, high-visibility complex in what is arguably the world's greatest metropolis for the bucolic isolation of upstate new york.

  any how does the move square with their purported belief in the imminence of armageddon?

  sell up and pretend Jehovah guided you to do it.

  How can they even pretend(okay, I know they will) when this is already in print?

  *** w12 8/15 p. 17 A Meeting Marked by Unity and Thrilling Plans ***

  There are plans to develop a 248-acre (100 ha) property at Warwick. “Although we are not yet certain of Jehovah’s will regarding Warwick,” said Brother Pierce, “we are proceeding to develop the site with the intention of relocating the world headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses there.” Plans are also being made to use a 50-acre (20 ha) parcel of land situated six miles (10 km) north of Warwick to facilitate the staging of machinery and building material. “Once construction is permitted, we hope to complete the entire project within four years,” said Brother Pierce. “Then our property in Brooklyn can be sold.”

  Jehovah God Is Not Real

  2. beliefs

  there are many of us on this site that do not believe that jehovah truly exists.. i think this is a great and wonderful thing to be celebrated!

  i'd like people to list the reasons why they do not believe that jehovah exists.

  this is open to all, not just atheists or agnostics, but anyone that believes that the god as put forward by jw.org does not and can not be real.. i'll start: .

  (Exodus 20:5) . . . bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation. . .

  And yet Jesus said (John 14:9) " . . . He that has seen me has seen the Father . . ."
  and about forgiving (Matthew 18:22) . . .“I say to you, not, Up to seven times, but, Up to seventy-seven times."

  So Jesus claims we should be forgiving to a large degree, and that he is the reflection of his father, and yet his father holds grudges against multiple. . .woops, sorry, overlapping generations for one persons sins. No contradiction there, is it?

  Brother's never could keep their hands off a them ho's!

  Where I am at there is no hazard of wanting to touch any of the ho's in the hall. Even with a ten foot vaccinated crowbar. They are the dregs of humanity.

  That is why I am dating a "worldly" woman.

  Why do they lock old second school room up?

  Control. The MS who does it acts like a little Hitler, strutting around with his hands in his pockets, has his own special chair at the back of the hall, patrolling the locked up rooms checking the doors to make sure no one has unlocked them and is in there. Opens and checks the bathrooms. The a--hole has taken to following me into the men's toilet lately. Stupid a--hole!

  $2500 for 3 TVs? Are they 98" or so? Tell your congregation to contact a local installer, they'll do it for half the cost.

  LOL. No, two are rather small 52", and the third one for what used to be the second school room (which is closed and locked at the meetings start by one of the self-righteous menstrual serpents) will only be a 32". They are giving the money to the branch, and the branch will send the TV's to be installed by a lumbering overweight, wheezing old goat on the "new and improved" LDC.

  Someone, somewhere is raking in money off this deal! The sad thing about it is that 99% of the 40-45 regulars are on fixed income after retirement or disability. Money grubbing leeches ought to be whipped and driven out of the temple (KH)

  Hah...crooks.....those guys have quite the operation going on....

  And even though I know the answer I have to keep asking WHY don't people see that?. Where I am a resolution was just passed to send $2,500.00 (US) to the branch to get three TV's for the indoctrination videos. That means the $2,500.00 they JUST SPENT for a screen and projector is gone with nothing to show for it anymore! That doesn't include the $$$ spent for TWO brand new computers in the last year, one of which "disappeared" when the second one was bought.

  I did a little snooping in the library when they forgot to hide the accounts box and found the resolution. It had no date, no signatures, and under the "In Favor" spot simply handwritten "all". I know for a fact that my hand was up when asked those "opposed". The count on the attendance sheet for that night showed 14 on the phone tie-in. None of them even voted.

  The cleaning bug

  by Steel in

  2. experiences

  i have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.

  if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.

  she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

  Ever see 50 people do the job of 3 , and take the same amount if time to get it done.

  If only. Where I am it is usually the opposite, 3 trying to do the work of 50 and expected to get it done in one-third of the time. That is why it gave me such pleasure to inform the eldumbs that if my beard disqualified me from every other "privilege" they could insert the cleaning "privilege" rectally too.
