by chance i came across a watchtower of june 1, 2015, and it has an article in it, “a legacy that has lasted seven generations”.
it’s written by a guy called kevin williams and it starts with this ancestor thomas williams (1815-1891) and continues his story down to the present through his family.
but hold on a minute, how can this guy’s twelve relatives span seven generations?
A few years back or maybe more there was a WT or talk, I don't remember exactly; but they said do not get puffed up by having old family ties in the troof. Since I don't study anymore I can't remember the scripture about geneologies but they used it.
I am 4th generation of PIMO.
was just watching some old blurry footage of johnny cash... wow!
and,.
hm of you saw the film, "walk the line.?
one of the greatest songsters around he covered everything from gospel, folk, traditional, blues, rock. if you can find his youtube of HURT; actually his farewell to us.

thoughts?.
50 years ago I had american cops warn me and some friends about how they would stop us if we ran on motorcycles. They do the pit maneuver on cars, too. There is an old you tube of Spanish police stopping a bank robber fleeing on a motorcycle, rammed him from the side full steam at an intersection.
everyone sounds like they came out of stepford wives.

is this supposed to be the way witnesses are to speak?
Even the best speakers are given no leeway. We had one CO who was quite engaging until his first visit after the overlapping crap. He seemed to have lost his spark; I think because he realized what a predicament he was in.
The best talks were the ones made up off outline, or the ones where a better off speaker just gave a traveligue of his last vacation.
Remember Knorr? Running late giving facts about everything? He would "ask" if he should continue, and what else could you do but clap in agreement and wonder when he would shut up
i believe that just because someone shows up at the voting booth, it doesn’t automatically qualify them to be legitimate voters.
i think it’s not unreasonable to provide proof that you are qualified..
here you can register with a utility bill at the polling spot. no room there for fraud! Supposedly they check every signature against a master list; (oh sure). The original idea was for representatives of the people to govern, both their own electors, but also make reasonable dealings with the rest of the country, especiqlly monority groups. Now you have to vote for someone who will do the bidding of people in the background, or are some of the background people themselves.
Good luck getting a politician to keep a promise if they even cannot find a way to obscure any real intent.
I am waiting for the day someone finds out I am a registered skeptic.
in terms of destruction.
52,000 people are evacuated.
started thurs.
It made the JW.org web site finally. "approximately" 427 bros. evacuated, jeez they love their numbers. 2 dead, one with a "non jw" mother. And they had a special assembly and gave some talks for spiritual encouragement! One KH gone, one damaged
They are organizing relief accortding to their site; probably all being provided by locals.
If any of us "in" ones went on our own and took water, food, and stuff we would probably be censured for not following theocratic order.

Look at the "news" on JW..... Not a mention of anything. Not even a plea for funds to help. Anyone try JW talk? That youtube was sobering.

Anyway, I came up with a fifth. A group who comes between you and God, claiming to repreesent him and spouting idiotic doctrine.
alright, so what is the deal with the thousands coming to the states right at election time seeking asylum?
i'm not up on this, usually try not to be, but how can this not be manipulative?
it's either manipulative in the size of the group and pressure that creates, or in where it started or who started this, etc.
Just let everybody come in. America can support several billion people.
How about real open borders so we can go and buy ANY land in Mexico or wherever, not just the restricted lots, and be able to work there, too.
backstory:.
so my born-in cousin who recently left the org is looking to start an ex-jw / group instagram based in socal.
he asked me if i had any ideas for a photo that can used for the instagram page and this is what i made for him:.
Wish I had the ability. How about Bullwinkle: "this time for sure".
