Wolverine 32 is no longer a number. It has transition to 46 and identifies itself as a word beginning with t.

So 31 is now followed by 33. Ok.

Wolverines I hope you haven't got a problem with the number 29. By saying 28 you are excluding 29 that's not efical.

Failure? They don't fail. Any negative, to them is just a positive missing it's vertical line.

"Well of course, I have a great idea, lett us emphasise the great value of our teachings and how this pearl of great price is provided without cost. But is it free? Noooo. Without cost does not mean free. But we can provide the money. Yes we will lend every publisher £15 trillion and all they have to do is pay it back in regular installments with minimal interest.

Some people actually question whether we care for our fellow domestics. Of course we care because we want them to benefit from this generous loan which will pay for a very rewarding education."

Nod nod, smile smile, gurn gurn.

BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

Anyone heard of Ron Drage or Ron Rage at London Bethel? David Sidbury or Tom Cruise?

My letter of disassociation, what do you think?

by James Jack in

dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.

that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.

statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!

Top tip for anyone still in and wanting to leave. Set up your own WhatsApp (or similar) group so when they throw you out those who want to stay in touch can do so without the prying eyes of elders. Make sure those you care about know how to find you privately.

I can tell you more are leaving. Patience, a helping hand and understanding of their confusion and difficult situation has worked wonders. Elders are having to chew on sticks.

Watchtower Sues to Keep Convention Videos Off Internet

so i guess the wt holds free public gatherings, but will sue anyone who publishes a video of the free speeches?

what happened to advertise, advertise advertise the king and his kingdom?

Anna Marina

Oh, I'm no film buff but I've seen trailers - that looks like Star Warsie kinda thing.

I guess the key Islamic element it doesn't have is a merchant called Mohammed/Splane/Lett/III who sets himself up as a profit and claims he met Gabriel.

Then he lays limp on the floor chants and comes up with the Watchtower - oops typo - Koran.
