" love never fails " is the main assembly headline for this years district assemblies for the jws and what a contrived lark that is .
the jws leaders have created doctrines to which the organization's followers obeyed accordingly which have killed thousands , destroyed families and indirectly caused numerous suicides.
these men have instituted such doctrines such as refusing blood transfusions, vaccinations and organ transplants at one time, they still uphold the no blood transfusion doctrine though.
It is not a personal choice you are told to shun someone for some unknown " sin" and if you do know some details like with a family member you also recognize the lack of being even handed that goes along with it
One of the GB illustrated it as someone freezing---slap him awake, force him to get well. The real way to save him is to surround him with warmth
Another was likened to a traitor to your country-- regardless your politics some are Patriots t ok you standing up to injustice
i have a few and built two 80% lowers.
just got a larue two stage trigger.
i can get 2moa out of it at 100 yards with a nikon 223 scope.
I don't but have tried them. Along with SKS and AK The cartridges are not useful for my hunting, but are cheaper. The AR has adjustable stock length, a grip that feels more natural so can be used by people that are not " average" build. People mix up velocity, weight, impact energy not to mention bullet styles. And have no idea about how changing magazines reduces the actual rate of fire from the impossible numbers cited on tv that would require belt fed full machine guns
There is an agenda to take ALL guns in the long picture despite protestations otherwise. Since they cannot do it all at once (Soviet union, Hitler for example) they are instead getting the camels nose under the tent.
If you think you can completely trust the government and its enforcers give up your gun, knife, ball bat. On and on
some people say that’s the least we should do while others say no way!
.
what do you think about dispensing reparations?
The thing that reduced the black population in Arab countries was the practice of castrating all Male slaves. Women (girls) were kept for other uses so the standard Arab is probably a bit darker than 500 years ago
the longer i am out, the the less i understand the logic of this organisation.. i thought that the kingdom hall my wife attends was perfectly fine and adequate, in fact i liked that it sat in grassy grounds, surrounded by trees.
it probably wasn't in any dire need of re-decorating at this point.
others, obviously, thought otherwise and so the hall has recently been subjected to a make-over.. the parking lot has been extended in true joni michell they've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot".
Some disagree, but my opinion is there is a money trail back to suppliers either owned by BIG brothers (the ones claimed to not exist) or kickbacks to WT
That said I have seen some halls done in Mexican or other ethnic, or a strong local personality choosing the theme it added to the personality of the congregation, back when we actually were friends and cared. That gets into a different thread ; the ones about the enforced " love by formulae "
the part last week about entertainment actually was not too over the top especially considering it was chaired by tony.
but i noticed he mentioned the present songs used as being sacred music.
i call them sales ditties.
Dont admit or tell you still think any of them are enjoyable. Those are the next they will change or eliminateđŸ¤”
wish i could get into the video feeds.
i would put the little audience from science fiction theater on them.
That's the one. With the little audience silhouette along the bottom
... or is that one of our memes?
thanks..
Methinks nobody can understand it. So the end must be imminent. The only time I heard it used it was word for word from the WT.
I have noticed " apparently " has fallen off in use. Could that be because it was made fun of here?

Related: the video of making new music; one person works on lyrics while someone else works on a tune ??? And not even in same countries. On an assigned subject. And then it is translated Into 100 languages? So much for rhyme, meter and poetic content. They never use any poetic tricks like reversing word orders and heaven forbid finding any thee, thou or king jamesy sounding words. And then they wonder why even full in ones are not enthusiastic about singing

this is the first time i have posted on here in many years..... i seldom visit now although this forum was instrumental to me in gaining my sanity in the early 2000's and recovering from the watchtower religion.. by chance tonight i was on youtube and caught a jw.org video which out of curiosity prompted me to look at the official website and amongst other things i looked up the music section.. why that i hear you ask?
music is my passion and nothing reminds me more or evokes more memories than the kingdom songs i grew up listening to.. i am 49 years old and my mother was baptised in 1974. i grew up in the era of pink songbooks and green bibles.
of the theology of fred franz and types and anti-types.
I'm still going and can't recognize it. But we are in the last seconds of the last minute of the last part of the last days---dont buy any green bananas
