What would Jesus say? King James Bible
Ye are of your

he is a liar, and the father of it.

14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.
Are people being resurrected just so they can be executed?
Yes, it would appear so. After all Ol' Tight Pants Morris needs to get his heavenly kill quota in doesn't he?
"breaking news | 2023 conventions.
we are pleased to announce that the governing body has decided that, jehovah willing, we will resume in-person regional conventions in 2023. branches will now begin scheduling dates and selecting venues.
we pray for jehovah’s rich blessing to be with all those involved in the planning.".
I wonder how their god will tell them he is not willing?
The same way they were told he was willing?
the other day, i chatted to an elderly woman and her daughter who was about 45-50. total strangers.. we were discussing covid when the daughter said, "my neighbor studies with jw's, and the jw's told her 3 months before the virus started, that they had to stop going from door to door because something was coming.".
i've never heard anything like this before - have you?.
I've never heard anything like this before - have you?
Yes, I have. Many times. Perhaps not that exact one, but I hear LIES every day, and that is just another one.
in the newest governing body update loesche recounts the experience of a jw who was pleased with the results of resuming in-person ministry.
he said, 'i thought people would be scared of the virus, but they were welcoming!
' - 🤣 um maybe he doesn't get out much because kingdom halls are one of the few places left except hospitals that require masks.
Just heard through the grapevine in my area that several JW's have recently come down with the latest variant. More transmissible, less dangerous. But the word is that everyone must now submit to all the GB mandated "guidelines" again, yet in all their fear of the virus they are still going ahead with in person meetings. SMDH

And they will still beat the flock with the "show your appreciation by giving us $$$$" bull---t! Never mind that any who are foolish enough to pay for gas, food, or lodging will have little left to give.
i know there was a leak a few weeks back, but this really does seem to have come out of the blue.. the anomaly was the original decision.
it clearly had no basis in law or the constitution, and was a flimsy, ridiculous ruling.
plus the whole thing was based on a fraudulent case in the first place.. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61928898.
I mean, let's be real here, a 1 or 2 year old has no viability if the mother didn't care for it, feed and clothe it, or nurture it.
Let's take the next step on this road. A person is paralyzed from the neck down in an accident and can no longer survive completely on their own without a caregiver to feed them, change their diaper, a machine to breathe for them and so on, or an elderly person suffering from advanced dementia who needless round the clock care to live? How about we just use them for "target practice", after all they are an inconvenience to the young and healthy aren't they?
BTW...Simon, can you add a sarcasm font?
I second that.
okay, so here's a follow-up to my post a while back regarding the society tearing down the pyramid monument.
they cleared the area and this is what they did.
notice ... nothing about the watchtower connected to it, just slabs of cheap concrete..
I must say I am truly impressed by how well maintained WT has it around the concrete. No weeds, nice grass right to the edge, no litter. Oh wait. . .

But if you do get drunk, get a designated driver, or take an uber/ taxi, then that's a workable solution too. Likewise, if you insist on fucking around, get birth control or the morning after pill (also a workable solution).
I agree 100%. However both those choices would require a person to exercise a fair amount of intelligent, self-responsibility, something that those who drink and drive without regard for possible consequences and those who f--k around like animals with no regard for consequences are woefully lacking.

20 what an exciting time the thousand year reign will be!
it will include the greatest educational program ever undertaken here on earth.
Gawd Almighty. . .1,000 years of having to wear dress slacks and dress shirts for men, and calf length skirts and dress blouses for woman. No blues jeans or casual wear permitted in the WT new world! Damn me to Hell right now!
