i actually visited the kh a few days ago.

i just needed to see some friends.

i hadn't been in months.

Visiting just to see old friends is understandable - perhaps even beneficial for a little while.

As far as attending a KH for "spiritual food" goes, I think of the scripture which says something about a dog returning to its vomit.

Here We Go...AGAIN!

by FedUpJW in

so here is a newer post over on that other site that reminds me of wash, rinse, and repeat.. this could be "our last memorial"!!!!

by shannie, wednesday at 08:14 pm in our meetings, ministry, and life as a christian.

well once again the memorial is upon us... tonight at our meeting.. .

The Fall Guy

We should refer to it as the "Rejection Memorial" or "Voyeur Memorial" from now on, and get PIMI JW's to jump-start their thinking processes.

Or simply ask them, "Why are you compelled to be a spectator at a ritual which is none of your business? A single Bible verse or principle will suffice."

Scottish independence vote promised - yet again!

by The Fall Guy in

first minister nicola sturgeon is a) promising another independence vote and b) saying that an independent scotland would apply to join the e.u.. independent from england, but a vassal state of the e.u.. if it unfolds the way she wants it to, get ready for a scotland-england backstop argument for a hard border/soft border, followed by england refusing to allow scotland to continue using sterling as its currency.

not to mention scots arguing amongst themselves whether to keep the queen as head of state or not.

happy days ahead!

chelmsford progress

does anyone have an update on the developement in chelmsford?.

i'm always keenly slightly interested in hearing about jehovahs blessings..

The Fall Guy

The UK Bethelites are now essentially part of the smokescreen for enforcing/encouraging donations out of UK JW's.

Absolutely no justification or need for maintaining an expensive UK Branch complex when Selters in Germany serves the whole of Europe now.

Even my old KH for sale...

by snare&racket in

i happened to be in my old town last week, i decided to drive past my old kh in n.wales,.

to my suprise there was a large 'for sale' sign hanging off it!.

this is a semi-remote area with the nearest other kh's a good 30 mins in every direction.

The Fall Guy

Back in the mid-2000's, Ron Drage (prominent UK Branch official) informed Brother Greenlees (very prominent JW in Scotland) that the organization had serious financial problems, but said he was sure it would be successfully dealt with.

Brother Greenlees shared this info with a dyed-in-the-wool JW who was also a close friend of mine.

The money-grab is continuing apace - must be due to the hundreds/thousands of new KH's being built for free in 3rd world countries. Isn't the generosity/love of "Jehovah's organization" wonderful to see!

Active JW's: Sorry to be a party-pooper, but I have yet to see/hear all the wonderful reports of these KH projects which poor JW's couldn't afford by themselves. Try asking your BOE to find out. :)

I thought this comment was interesting from the LDS

by joe134cd in

here is a you tube video made by a ex-lds member.. the comment made at the 5:48 min mark i found very interesting.. https://youtu.be/hjw4nazuzzy.

This is the restrained Catholic view on the "historic" meeting:

https://www.catholicnews.com/services/englishnews/2019/pope-meets-top-leaders-of-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints.cfm

The Mormons read a helluva lot more into it:

https://www.lds.org/church/news/president-nelson-meets-with-pope-francis-at-the-vatican?lang=eng

The LDS President Ballard said, “We could not have asked for a more fulfilling experience. We were grateful that he would receive us.”

Isn't it nice of God's chosen representatives on earth (the LDS' 12 Prophets) to be so condescending to the religious leader of a false religion?
