one of the recent threads on the talk about the hailstone message got me to thinking.
the problem with putting out a message like that is what to do when nothing happens.
i have to think that somebody will be asking that question.
Fishy said - "The angels direct to which homes people might respond. The work is done after prayer."
Oh that is nonsence on steroids, did the angels direct me to the guy that showed me the loud end of his gun? Did the angels direct me to the pretty young woman that answered her front door dressed only in her tattoos? Twice this has happened! - Probably the highpoint of my door to door experience.

“This GOOD NEWS of the kingdom” is not a message of doom. Just like Noah entered the Ark, they took no note.
It's a message of doom for 99.89% of the human family. Tell me Fish man, when you are going from door to door do you and you buddies discuss which homes you would like to move into one these wicked people are destroyed by our loving god?? I hope that one day you snap out of it and wake up.

i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.
she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.
About 20 years ago I was having an off the record chat to somebody in a leadership role in the org, somebody that I knew well and trusted, kind of pouring it all out. I stated that "I think probably half of the women I know (in da troof) are on happy pills", he cut in there and said 65%.

this is my first post.
i am a pimo who has been lurking for a while and i hope to make new friends here.. for now, i would just like to highlight that this year marks 200 years since john aquila brown wrote that crazy book(let) of speculations that charles taze russell practically copy/pasted into his "studies in the scriptures" which eventually affected all of our lives in one way or another.. cheers.

mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.
at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.
single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.
<snip> Please don’t let rubber face Lett onto the stage.
No, get him up there he is the best self sabotage we could wish for on the inside.

the org is always so late.
i remember the last in person meetings before went to zoom, none of us were wearing facemasks and i thought why is the org so late with this.
they just announced older ones shouldn’t come but most large organisations had already stopped in person.
I wonder if you have to show a vax certificate to get in?

Welcome Gavindlt.
Yes, lots of lives ruined, where was Jehovah when he could have been protecting all of his devoted, hard working and long suffering followers?

Another reason why it is not an islamic attack, the kill to injury ratio suggests that a small caliber firearm was used, like maybe a .22, with such you are unlikely to die unless it is a head shot. If it were an islamist attack the weapon of choice is always an AK47 - which would have a high kill to injury ratio.

This could also be a terrorist attack in the classic sense, targeting a Christian church. To me that's the most plausible scenario, but the possibility of a disgruntled person linked with the congregation is also not to be discarded.
Very unlikely to be an islamic attack because the perpetrator would not have suicided, he would have engaged the police to "kill and be killed" in order to obtain the bonus points in islamic paradise.

this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
There once was a man named Morris
Whose sermons could be somewhat laborious
He spoke of God's will
But folks talked of him ill
For his love of those infamous tight pants so notorious.
or maybe -
There once was a man named Morris
Whose position in power was porous
He spoke out of turn
And made many a spurn
Till he was removed, his influence no more is
