I doubt it .
What are you smoking for anyways, its just about as deadly as being a JWS. ?
yesterday, while having a smoke outside my house, i saw the google street view car drive by.
so here i am, wondering when this picture will make it to the web and when a jw sees it.
even if they blur the face, i bet it will be really easy to make out who's smokin' outside.
I doubt it .

i woke up early in life.
it’s not because i was smarter than my brothers and sisters.
in fact, reflecting back, i actually don’t know why i didn’t embrace the watchtower teachings?
It just takes one person in a state of mental delusion, people who have it cant tell what's real from what is imagined, this delusion can flourishes upon itself out appealing self imposed identity.
When others start to believe that person's delusions, it can start a sociological and psychological following, a religion, a mass group of people in a state of delusion.
how many accounts of the bibles use of excesses can you recall ?
i will start off with a favourit of mine.. the inauguration of solomons temple and the sacrifices offered .2chron.7 :4-5 , 22,000 cattle and 120,000 sheep ?
c,mon.
I think the ancient Hebrew bible writers had a problem with numbers,
I dont know why they all had degrees in Advanced Math from a credited University ???

Welcome Debra
active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.
active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .
inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.
I've gone way past the JWS experience , even though I was brought up in this religion from birth, left it on my own accord no DF
I now try to revert people to accepting that religious beliefs are mostly inherently based upon human ignorance and fear which has and can cripple mankind toward resolving problems as they appear in this physical world of reality..
I would consider myself a secular humanist with no personal belief in gods or spirits.
I also accept the fact that some religions do inspire people to do good for one another which I acknowledge without reservation.
good to see you again!
much discussion now about the fallout that is coming due to impacts of the pandemic combined with the long-term downward spiral of jw.org.
i am active as a pimo and my wife is pimi....much of our personal conversation and conversation with others in jw land focuses on how things will play out for jw.org in the next 12-24 months.
I wouldn't be surprised if all the Awake and Watchtower printed magazines are gone soon.
At least in North America and certain European countries.
They will most likely only keep printing small tracts on occasion, as hand outs and to place on street carts, possibility bibles as well .
Must look righteous in the public's eyes.
If all I been hearing about is true involving so many Kingdom Halls being sold off , that in itself is a indication this religion is on a downward trend in numbers .
The Top leaders of the Org (GB) have still millions to use at their discretion so they may produce expensive video productions and whatever strikes their fancy but eventually the money is going to steam out the door and they will try then to make some dramatic changes.
while we are talking about economic stimulus i thought i’d bring up the $15 minimum wage.
pros and cons?.
I think why this has come forward by J Biden is because they see some States only have a minimum wage of $7.25 .
Thats quite low and I hate to think what would that be like to live off

Instead of calling it Holy Bible wouldn't be more truthful and appropriate to call it the Holy Book of Bullshit ?

It seems that the set minimum wage hasn't really been kept up to the cost of living index,. so maybe there needs to be an adjustment, at least in North America .
Putting into law a set minimum wage kind of blocks unscrupulous employers to exploit young venerable people to their advantage.
