I symbolically bet you 666 red Smarties plus 1 Polo mint (cause elder told me Armageddon is like a Polo mint, it has a hole in it, it started, stopped and started again) that they queue up to get it.

they are active, well organised and patient.. australia's national media group, the abc carries this story today:.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-08/accidentally-joining-south-korean-cult/100298774.

at first, as i read the article i thought it was my ex-brothers and sisters with a cunning new way to win converts, but no!

That's an interesting presentation - all sorts of secular courses can be used in a similar way from survival to meds.

Just shows why we should be very careful who we look up to and assess what values they live by and whether or not we want to go along with them.

(Matthew 23:8) . . .But you, do not you be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, whereas all you are brothers.

C T Russell's pyramid monument gets taken away by the WTS.

by Rafe in

just recently the stone pyramid monument at c t russell's grave site was taken away by the wts.. six screens of the watchtower did a public discussion about the removal which may be still on that web site, that's where i heard about it.. it had been recently vandalized such the top head piece was removed and the carved christian cross on the monument was chiseled off.. since the wts owns that grave site, they have the right to do whatever they want to do with it.. my guess is that they will never put it back or redo the damage.. i think they will put it away in a obscure place and cover it, locked up somewhere.. the wts.

has never been proud or willingly open about that monument for obvious reasons such as being associated in false religion, which they claim they are not and they admonish other christian faiths are.. your thoughts ?

Blues Brother on that jwtalk site someone wrote this about the pyramid.

That's a shame, it was a beautiful piece of our history. I always wanted to take a selfie by that pyramid but I'm afraid it won't happen now.

They could be hiding it or... move it somewhere that they have control over to make it a WT tourist attraction.

Think of the photo opportunities -

The family with C T Russell's pyramid.

Does it get any better? Saves a trip to Egypt and the Valley of the Kings.

Is John Cedars a baptised or an unbaptised publisher? Maybe a helpful elder could put his name forward.

An old friend was all nice until she found out I was DF'd!!!

by Lynnie in

well this is almost funny to me at this point.

i've been out since i was 19 and i'm now 65. i have uber jw cousins that of course now shun me big time.

funny how when my uber jw started declining in health all of a sudden they "needed" me and i had to help with her care blah blah after being shunned for years.. my mom passed away a couple of years ago and i sent out the death/memorial announcements to her friends far and near.

Slimboy - ok I went a bit further and said I was certain that the 3rd year of Jehoiakim's rulership was the 3rd year of Jehoiakim's rulership.

Power-elder called me irrational for that one. I knew then it was time to go.

I got a letter from someone I know well who was pioneering recently. She wrote to everyone in my road, therefore I got a letter saying sorry she didn't know me but... she was recently widowed and... Covid... Isaiah... then she invited me to watch the convention.

I felt sorry for her because her husband had died and popped round with a bunch of flowers. She wouldn't talk to me or take the flowers because... I'm disfellowshipped. Haven't done anything wrong - I just said that the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar's rulership is followed by his 20th year of rulership not his 2nd.

I took the flowers home. They were really pretty and they lasted ages. Wonder if the GB sent her any flowers? Or cared to enquire about her well being?
