  i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

  is it genetic?

  is it lifestyle.

  I guess money is more important than upholding doctrines.

  This whole affair of the Australian JWS being exposed in hiding pedophilia within their organization has surely blacked the image of the JWS in that country.

  Good, I hope this happens in other countries as well.

  The stated amount of millions coming in and being off shored by the WTS there tells much of the inner workings of the WTS.

  Power and money corrupts and sometimes you can see this happen in religious organizations too.

  Clap for the Carers (or Don't it's Forbidden)

  so, in the uk, during the early stages of covid there was a groundswell of appreciation for the nhs for their front-line sacrifice.

  this was crystallised into a regular clapping/whistling/noise making session every thursday at 8pm.. "harmless" you would have thought, "a gesture of appreciation", "what could possibly be wrong with joining in on that innocent activity?".

  well, the co during his recent rounds had a different view.

  Those of us who did it should be ashamed of ourselves.

  The background reason which spurred this on was due to the fact these health care workers were putting their own life on the line to help people who got direly sick from Covid.

  A few of these workers actually got infected with the virus themselves and died because of that.

  This is just another indication or instance of the self identifying perception of power JWS (Elder) men build up around themselves, they are inundated with god almighty spirit you know.

  Having the power to judge others is a grand thing, even if it is recklessly stupid.

  the past two weeks several ufo sightings.

  navy and pentagon confirm sightings.

  us military is worried because the technology being used to drive these air vehicles are showing no signs of any sort of jet fuel.

  They would probably try to start a bible study and place some literature with the aliens.

  They would tell the aliens that if they didn't convert and become loyal to the Watchtower Corporation/JWorg. that Jah would soon destroy them turning them into fried and burnt wieners .

  watchtower's exemplarily obedient woman, Abigail, Mary and Jesus.

  by waton in

  2. bible

  for lurkers, this past week's wt study.

  women, obedient to headship.

  wt message to wt ladies: do like abigail, ignore your husband's initiative, who might have had his own strategy to rid the country of the marauding outlaws for good, and instead kowtow to "the anointed" aka us, the gb and elders.

  In ancient Hebrew times woman were seen as bought and paid for chattel, they were more or less made to be subservient slaves toward men, they weren't even allowed to speak inside a temple.

  Organized religion like the JWS is just another social structure of power and control for men.

  If they dont want to obey world government laws than slap with penalties.

  Lets face it the WTS/JWS doesn't like to be told how to operate their organization, even in regards toward protecting children from sex abuse.

  The Australian government has their eye on them.

  i have been in several congregations over the years.

  the hypocrisy was staggering.

  so many of these idiots were fake jws.some were strict followers and were as annoying as could be.

  Of course there is differences in personality and behavior among practicing JWS but one thing they all hold to them all is their inherent hypocrisy.

  just sharing this for all the people who hated me saying it.

  funny how truth finally comes out if those of us who care enough to become lightning rods don’t let up.

  it’s taken a year, but the left wing ( not the same as a traditional liberal ) nut-job bs is becoming quite evident, and this will continue across multiple subjects as time passes.

  I've always liked Maher myself but I think he's a bit off on his comments about the virus and its transmission due to his own inherent ignorance about the Covid virus.

  Purported mistakes expressed by the media can cause confusion and ignorance, there is no question about that..

  Its easy to criticize the restrictions when you never have gotten the virus, people who did and ended up in the hospital might have a different perspective.

  “The fact is without these social restrictions and face mask rules there would be a lot more people who would have contacted the virus and a lot more would have died.”

  This is complete BS

  How do refute that based from the statistical model of countries like Sweden ?

  Another example of how this virus transmits to others in its new variant can be seen in the province of Ontario Canada , where in this area has had now the highest level of documented cases soon after the loosening of its social restrictions.

  The science of the transmission of the virus is now clear and understandable.

  The new variant of the virus is now going into the more younger age group of the 20's to 40's, further complicated because that age group hasn't been vaccinated yet here in Canada.

  Zoom Social Event With a GB Member (Losche)

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  in a recent turn of events, i found myself at a jw social gathering on zoom (supporting my pimi wife, while among mostly jws whom i don't know and a handful of old friends who don't know i'm inactive) that just so happened to also be joined by garrett losche and his wife.

  sorry to disappoint but i had absolutely no interaction with him and have nothing interesting to report about it.

  i'm just sharing this because i can't believe i even got that close to maybe chatting with him, despite being a closeted apostate.. there were about 300 people in the zoom meeting, all having been directly invited.
