  does anyone remember the video the jw came out with that showed the mom getting a phone call from her disfellowshipped daughter?

  she is tempted to answer but doesn't .

  she wants to be faithful to jehovah.

  That video was a turning point for me, my brides maid hung herself, I wonder if she tried to call her mum first?

  It consolidated my disgust for the organisation.

  JW Australian Finances

  i imagine someone has done this already, but i couldn't find it in a search.

  feel free to move to another thread if i'm posting in the wrong one.. i've been watching leah remini's scientology show (eerily very similar psychological traits to jw's) and one episode talked about how australia now requires non-profit organizations to make their finances public, so i decided to look for jw's reports.. link to jw's reports:.

  Hi Attewc, welcome to the group and to the local Au group, I guess that Attewc is an acronym for something??

  Did anyone put off having children because of wt bs?

  by I Faded Twice in

  1. social
  2. family

  just curious if anyone put off having kids because the end was so close.

  or because of you're "ministry" or lack of suitable mates..

  Amelia, get her a puppy, an intelligent breed. For people that lament not having children a good dog could help a lot.

  I was thinking just today, how many childless couples that I know who were "obedient" to the 1986 (87?) district convention talk "Responsible child bearing in this time of the end".

  What a shot in the foot that was for the "great increase".

  Did you know Banks create money out of thin air?

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw

  banks create money “out of thin air.”empirical studies have been undertaken to prove this thesis and this is the conclusion:.

  in the 5,000 year history of banking, banks have been thought of as “deposit taking institutions which lend money”.. 1. what is the legal reality?

  banks don’t take deposits and don’t lend money.the public is under this false impression on purpose because the language of banks is not legal language.. so--what is a “deposit”?a deposit is not actually a deposit.

  GermanXJW - No it was Nathans' great grandfather - Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812).

  So Morph, how does all new money enter circulation?

  “Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.” Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.

  “The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.” The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863.

  Terry, learning this really is a red pill blue pill moment, I learned it from a book named "I want the earth +5%" you can find a video on youtube that was produced by the same guy - Larry Hannigan.

  The whole truth and knock ln effect is probably worse than you realise at this stage

  Waton - central gov banks... you mean the federal reserve, privately owned, no more federal than Federal Express.

  Why does WT rarely reference creationist scientist?

  by Sanchy in

  2. friends

  in watching the latest video in the series "was it designed?

  " at tv-dot-jw-dot-org, i got to wondering why is it that watchtower hardly references scientist that are creationist.

  i know its only a minority from that group, but there are enough out there for them to reference from.

  OGTG - I've noticed that Watchtower doesn't reference much of anything anymore.

  Spot on, it's just all warm and fuzzy stuff these days.

  Languages, Dialects, Accents

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.

  first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.

  red, arrow, break.

  Bit off topic but it really bugs me when prominent speakers in the borg have speech impediments and the climbers imitate them and the young children pick it up as the norm.
