by jhine in

today l received a hand written letter from my local kingdom hall .

l say my local as the one nearest me , for those who don't know me l am not nor have ever been a jw .

as this letter was addressed " to the householder " l assume that everyone in the area ( tamworth , staffordshire ) has been sent one .

I don't recognise the email address. But maybe a techie MS or elder set up the email account.

In UK COs have been asking elders to arrange to contact all inactive and disfellowshipped ones (except anyone active in showing them up ). So, if you ever attended a meeting, maybe you are still on their radar. Alternatively someone/s are sending out lots of letters to the residents of Tamworth.

You could asked them why they say the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar reign was followed by the 2nd year of his reign. (Dan 2:1) They say 19th year is 607 BCE and 2nd year is 606 BCE.

If you want more detail I am putting it together in this short series. Here is part 2

Alternatively see explanation I put on website I built for GB to see if they would correct their 1914 doctrine, on which rests their authority.

Do You Support Trump Being Impeached Again?

it looks like it can happen again and i suspect if it does happen, the senate will not convict either because they can’t convict him since it’s after his presidency or simply because they don’t have sufficient votes..

If you get the chance listen to this - it is too much for me to describe but it relates deeply to what in going on both in America and worldwide. The man, David Knight doing the explaining is brilliant.

Should Difference of Opinion Be Squelched On Sites Such As FB or Twitter?

i think that for the most part, dissenting views should be allowed to exist because of free speech principles.

one person may strongly feel that something is true while someone else may present “facts” that support the opposing view.

when that is the case, healthy discussion is mostly productive.

Yes fair point - but it's as much as I could think of and if they do cut your power supply off what can you do? Try to build your own and/or make do with what resources you do have.

The companies that run the various platform do not love you. So how could you make them allow you to do anything if the powers-that-be make it impossible?

Control what you can and be as clever as you can. Some people can be ingenious (and selfless). Also situations change and maybe assets which were not at your disposal become available to you to control.

Haven't read through entire thread - just some quick thoughts

FB and Twitter - they are companies and like WT can do what they want BUT it is misleading to get people to believe they can say anything they like. Also not nice if your words and other data are used for analysis that is exploitative/against your personal interests.

Freedom of speech - it is a Christian concept although it has been extended into the secular world and become freedom to argue or freedom to have different sets of values and priorities/faith or no faith or in between.

(Hebrews 3:6) . . .We are the house of that One, if we make fast our hold on our freeness of speech and our boasting over the hope firm to the end.

The way I read that scripture is to mean that if in the face of opposition we stand up for Jesus Christ and don't get cowed, then we are of His house. It doesn't mean say whatever you want, regarless of whether it is sensible, realistic, true etc.

But getting back to FB and Twitter, just as some of us naively believed WT was Christian, so some believed FB and Twitter allowed you to say anything you liked. But now some are waking up. So if you want to go on a platform you need to find one where the values of the owner most closely match your own. Or learn to code and set up your own.

he is serving the lord my sitting at home and writing out thousands of letters long hand all day long to count his time.

I reversed this strategy - I knew at some point I was going to be put into the congregation catapult. Not wanting to allow them to disfellowship me, given they are not Christian, I set about disfellowshipping the Governing Body. Having done so succesfully (yes even if they don't realise it) I then prepared for the elders who were not even slightly bothered that I had df'd the GB. But they were uttertly fed up with me for putting up a YouTube showing that a local congregation had thrown out a faithful elderly sister who had done nothing wrong.

For this I got called to a judicial - so I sent about 50 letters out to the congregation explaining everything. As one elder put it - "they don't like having the rug pulled from under them."

I've still got the rug and I'm not giving it back. :)
