i may have put this in the wrong thread.
if so, i'm sorry.. my conundrum is this.... i am almost completely certain that an awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and i seem to remember them actually naming guns and roses.. i can't find anything now, and i'm wondering if it's the mandela effect, or if it's another case of the cdrom versions of the awakes being doctored again.. does anyone else remember this?
or am i crazy?
I am almost completely certain that an Awake back in the 80's/90's mentioned a group of rock bands we shouldn't listen to and I seem to remember them actually naming Guns and Roses.
Pfffttt... Guns and Roses... please enjoy a feel good video of a really good cover of one of the top G&R songs, what is there not to like about this???? - A few highly talented young folk giving it there best shot
another shooting, this time 14 kids dead more wounded and a teacher dead.
i am all for the second amendment and this does not change my mind.
but i do hate this kind of thing, makes my stomach turn.
Lots of guns and few problems in Switzerland - https://youtu.be/c7l31LZVqQ4
going on 2+ years of no public ministry.
can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.
i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

Most Dubs I know, especially the born ins, have dysfunctional relations with their neighbors.

wt claims that satan was thrown out of heaven in october 1914 precipitating ww!
and the end times.
a small problem with that is ww1 started on july 28th 1914 whilst satan was still in heaven picking his nose.. how did we not see this and waste years of precious life?
WT publications on the other hand are accessible to a literate public.- scholar JW
They even produce a special version for the barely literate public, those with little education that are easily duped.
Give us a break, many of us here have scam fatigue.

i don't think the gb at wt will pay for their release like the pope did for the nun.
they better say their goodbyes.. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/nation-world/story/2022-05-20/3-italians-1-togolese-abducted-in-southern-mali-says-mayor .
You would have to be a nut case to be a missionary in a muslim country and I can't see the WT giving many hints and tips about keeping your head securely fitted other than to pray.
I feel sorry for those lulled into a false sense of security and sent on very dangerous mission.

i need a new religion.
it can't be trinidadian and it must be a christian church.
it's been a while since i've been to the hall (and i'm not interested in returning either) and i need a new religion.
Start your own religion. I understand it can lead to great wealth.
Your on the money with that one Mum.

do you feel a draft?
(jw’s did-in the 1960s)i thought you might find it interesting to review exactly what the u.s. government thought, studied, and wrote about people of conscience during the vietnam war.what follows comes from official records…more than half of the 27 million men eligible for the draft during the vietnam war were deferred, exempted, or disqualified.
(cortright, david (2008).
Thanks for that Terry.

is it possible that jw's would get so worn out by watchtower 's bullshit that they would stand up gather their stuff and walk out of a meeting or a convention.
i can see a small number doing it..
I wish that some make a list of the statements in WTS literature which are used by the WTS to manipulate people

at a certain point, as the years tick by, you start to realize that you have forgotten a lot of things.
typically, something you learned, some knowledge or skill you used to have, that you just haven't used for so long you no longer remember anything but that you once knew it.. i saw an article about electrical resistors the other day, and how the colored bands signify the rating.
now all i remember is that i used to know it, and that resistors do something with, erm, electricity ...
Simon I still remember the little ditty they taught us to remember the resistor color code and that was over 50 some years ago in high school electronics class. But it's not repeatable here. Teachers would get written up in the newspaper and probably fired for teaching it today.
Was that the one that ends in " but Violet gives willingly"?
RB.
lot going on.
i had a covid divorce last year over zoom.
not pretty but i got a good deal.. anyway,.
About 50% here also they tell me.
